However unlikely, if Vidal ends up at Liverpool bcos van Gaal or Woody cant get their acts together and we lose out on another worldclass player, after having lost out on Kroos due to some spastic reasoning, something is seriously wrong. We have the money - spend it.

That was over a year ago. Make sense to move now, right?
I forgot about the Nigerian rapper, thank you! This ones in the bag guys, relax! It'll be like when we got Berbatov on deadline day, I can picture van Gaal and Woody driving Vidal back from the airport now. Actually, someone should probably make a gif of that.
A year ago? read it was earlier this year. Back on then.
He 'called' RVP 5 days before it happened, Fergie confirmed a bid for him in July. I could go on now and say ''Mangala has joined City'' and 5 days later or so it's probable he will have. Does that make me reliable for the next rumour in 2 years time despite me bullshitting?As much as I would like it to happen, we ain't signing Vidal.
Most newssites think we've already signed Strootman. If this is the case, how useful would Vidal be? Do we really need him aswell, if Kevin Strootman is coming in the winterwindow?
Two feck ups in one sentence, Strootman and winter window.
The more the merrier. We will have enough room once we sell off Anderson, Cleverley and Fellaini. But I don't think its happening anyway.
Yes, totally different level of player. See it this way - Vidal is the world-class CM we've needed to add for a while, while Strootman is an improvement on one of our existing, substandard midfielders, like Fellaini, Cleverley or Anderson.
Plus although he often plays as a dynamic box-to-box all-rounder like Vidal, Strootman can also play as a proper DM, which is something we basically don't have at all.
What are these news sites, by the way? I hadn't heard anything more solid about Strootman than rumours that we were interested and would try and sign him, injury-free, in January.
Why don't you help him out by showing him where he went wrong alongside answering his questions or engaging him on the topic... childish to just point out flaws
What? I dont mean him do I? I mean transfer feck ups, singing Strootman and signing in the winter window instead of now.
Is he the guy that got caught wanking off on a plane home from his holidays?
Clearly he believes Manchester is a safer place than Turin.
No chance Roma are gonna sell Strootman in the January window - especially if they're still in Champions League or in the hunt for Serie A..
We've only one proper CM at the moment & 2 in total when Carrick gets back. Thats not good enough for a club of our ambitions to just have 2 CM'. We need 2 more in & Vidal & Strootman would be fantastic..
Fair play @Pexbo. I'm not really a transfer muppet as such, but it's either us or Madrid. He's definitely off in my opinion.
Was only quoting what the report said..
In all seriousness. People are going to look back on this saga and say "wow, Pexbo eh, he knows his fecking onions. I'll listen to him in the future." He's ours. It's a matter of time.
This is going to happen guys i'm very confident.
Evening Adnan. Still on the correct train I see. Good man.
I'm not gonna lie, I've just bought one of them, I don't even use usbs
Same
£7 well spent.I'm a very experienced transfer muppet and I can see light at the end of the tunnel regarding Vidal.
As soon as the Evra departure is announced by Juve then I can see some interesting developments one way or another. Looking forward to Arturoweek.
Indeed. I've seen some shit in my time. Luckily in this case, the same shit can be seen from the perspective of Juve and Madrid. As far as United are concerned it's green light.
There's always light at the end of the tunnel. It just might be a train.
I agree. Rarely has a player so openly courted other teams without moving in the same window. Vidal is ours, just a matter of time...
I'm with you 100% Pexbo... Vidal to Manchester United is a matter of time.
He's moving because it's not safe in Turin? I guess a potential deal to Liverpool is off the table then
A resurgence in transfer muppitism whilst putting @Gambit in his place. Be humble when it happens won't you Pex.
There will be no reason to gloat. I'll share a silent nod with the forum and that will be that.
Here I am...the muppet killer. This isn't happening.
It's going to be awesome seeing the Juve fans mourn the departure of Vidal.
Spoken, like a true democratic.

Really?
I could kinda understand if it was City/Chelsea/Madrid/Barcelona but I have always liked Juventus.
If the Irish disk jockeys source is reliable then I'm going to drive to Ireland just to shake his hand and buy him a drink. I seem to remember him during the RVP transfer and getting it right so there's a slim chance I guess! I do have a feeling this might happen now things have died down after both clubs denials.
I just want us to sign Vidal because of how committed Adnan is to this thread .
