Arturo Vidal

Would he go there over us?

I realise a lot of people would ridicule that question considering it's Madrid and we are out of the Champions League. I just think with all he has said that he's serious about football and he might have joined Real Madrid pre Kroos, but now he'd be seriously risking gong to a club where his play time could be limited or his role compromised. I'm not convinced he'd do that.
I never understood this. A player of his quality would rather play with the likes of Kroos and Modric than Carrick and Cleverley.
 
Vidal returnes from holiday on 25 july, i think we will get more reliable news then.

I'm dubious if it will. I believe he is happy in Turin, but could still be open to a move to United (or elsewhere, if it's the right move for him), but I can't see him speaking out, demanding a move. He seems too professional to go all Yaya Toure. I think United just have to go for him.

I mean more interviews, he could tell the club he wants to leave/stay. Definite answers.
 
Don't see Madrid going for him now - they've already signed Kroos and are close to wrapping up Rodriguez for £60-odd million.

To be fair, If they get 50 million for Di Maria that will only be about the same as they usually spend. That's without other possible sales which they always seem to do well from.

I think they'll be all over Pogba in 12 months if he stays on track though
 
I never understood this. A player of his quality would rather play with the likes of Kroos and Modric than Carrick and Cleverley.

My point is that I think he may rather establish himself as the key man in a new project at United where he is going to play every game in his favourite role than be shoehorned into Real's midfield and risk spending time on the bench during the peak of his career.

I've no idea, he might just prefer the idea of playing at the current best club in the world and relish the challenge. Most would of course. I just don't see how they could keep Modric, Kroos and Vidal happy over the course of a season.

He's also needed more at United than he is in Madrid - the chances are therefore, that United would offer him a much better financial package than Real Madrid might given how it might push other players noses out of joint.

The worry that Madrid might be interested seems irrelevant to me. If anything, if we dont move for the player it seems (from what's been said at this stage) that it'd be United who didnt want to progress the deal, rather than a case of us desperately pursuing a player who isn't interested or who has an eye on a move elsewhere.

I dont understand the panic to be honest in any event. If he comes, great, if not - for whatever reason, I'd have faith in Van Gaal and what he chooses to do going forward and the players he decides to bring in. Nothing seems to have changed. Juve are never going to announce a player is for sale but it seems clear they're open to the right deal. The indications so far have been that the player feels the same.

Pogba will end up breaking the world transfer record or going very close, IMO. Juve will renew his contract, keep him for another year, maybe two, and then sell him for a sky high fee. A player at that age, as one of the best in his position in the world, will be worth a bomb,

Juve will sell if the price is right. It'll be down to the player. The fact that Conte moved on tells you what's going on - not having the money to compete and probably looking at losing some of his better players.
 
Arturo drops Real's name. Arturo says he doesn't know whether he'll be a Juve next year. Arsenal then buy Khedira. Guess what happens next?

Here's the link to the full interview. Translated via google -

In one of the many galas Vineyard, the kid brother of Nico Massu asked him who dressed him, and he relaxed, he replied that the suit bought in a multi-shop.There you attitude going on; tennis, miéchica! Claaaro, probably taken from Arturo Vidal did not come out of a liquidation, paid in three installments cash price, but the important thing is that the goat aperró for his latest sports gimmick.

"It was very important to this day. I got someone to help me find clothes because I'm not used to being dressed like that, but hey, for this occasion I had to use it. As for the club, my uncles handle that part. I am very happy and grateful to the people who are with me, "said the" King, "which cracked the pa 'event 500 guests.

And taking advantage vuelito before the player devote a few words to those present and tighten cheek from Chicureo, was consulted about their future, which is so far uncertain. "It's hard to talk about another team when one is already in a big one. I've gone three times champion, will I have respect for my peers. I've heard interest from Real, United, but that there is another person who cares, "Vidal said.

And that turned a cycle? "I do not feel it that way, I might stay a lifetime at Juventus. When you come to Italy and talk to the technician see what happens. Now all I know is that I have seven or eight days of vacation. Chile Wants to rest well, going to the beach, but we are seeing what happens, "threw the ex albo, who is fascinated with the idea that Gary reaches its league. "It would be nice to play the classic against him," he said.

I'll take a shot...Real get their man?

Real sign Vidal. It doesn't matter what other clubs decide to do, typically if Real want someone they get them. They have the last word in these deals.

Is that the same Sami Khedira who'd be picking spelks out of his arse anyway as Kroos has taken his place?

Can't see where he'd fit in a Real Madrid, other than sitting on the bench quite frankly.

Normally, I'd agree with this but I think they'll pass on Vidal and go for Pogba in a year or two. Still, you never know. Real always seem to sign players they don't need.

Really? He works well with him for his country and Kroos's style is much more similar to Alonso so he'll probably take his place. With Di maria likely to move on, Khedira would be an important defensive presence with Modric and Kroos.
 
Van Persie?

I think they were both quite clear on what they wanted. van Persie made one statement about wanting to leave Arsenal and then shut up, it was even before our interest in him became public. Shaw kept his mouth shut through the whole process. Vidal is continuously making statements like he doesn't know what his future holds, and these don't sign like the kind of interviews a player that Manchester United want to sign gives.

Bale, Ronaldo and a forward will start. Looks very much like they want Rodriguez to play "in the hole" behind the forward. That leaves two places in midfield. Modric was outstanding last year and Kroos will evidently be a regular. Khedira might stay and would play a part, but the sheer number of "stars" they have puts the manager in a diffuclt position. If the Rodriguez stories are true he'll cost what Bale did and the fans, and president will want to see him on the pitch.
 
Cleverley Herrera Carrick.

Pah

All joking aside I don't think it can get any better than that RM three. For me the 3 best CMs in the world.


Looking just a few years back

--Iniesta - Xavi--
--- Busquets ---

Today this trio would be the best, of course, 3 of the most in-form WC midfielders around, but I don't think that it is really that hard to imagine better midfield.
 
------Kroos--Modric-------
Bale--Di Maria/Isco--Ronaldo
--------Benzema--------

It would be stupid from Ancelotti to buy Vidal simply because they have a great team with world-class players on every position. Even if they sell Khedira from the bench, who would Vidal replace in the 1st eleven? Modric? He was their best player last season.
