Now I know this player has been done to death but I was hoping some of the eds might have any new developments on arturo vidal, especially after the manic Sunday rumours that he had signed for arsenal . is he a player we are really looking to bring in this summer or do you expect him to stay put?
{Ed007's Note - He'll be leaving Juventus but I don't know where he'll end up.}
30 Jun 2015 17:01:42
Thanks, is it true he's already decided, we're just waiting to find out where?
30 Jun 2015 18:30:58
I'm pretty sure i've read somewhere that vidal will be joining barcelona in january.
30 Jun 2015 18:59:32
I read the same nellym, its all a little confusing.
30 Jun 2015 19:01:48
Ed002 has said on the arsenal site that there have been 4 offers 3 of which are being looked over arsenal is one of the 4 but no decision has been made on acceptability of bids to player or juve we will know more on his destination in a couple of weeks I believe that was late last week
30 Jun 2015 19:13:01
Just seen that he has had no contact with arsenal recently don't know how true. Nellym l also read today that one of the barca presidential candidates is hoping to lure Pogba should he win so will be interesting to see what unfolds.
30 Jun 2015 19:27:02
Wrong Vidal, nellym! They signed Aleix Vidal from Sevilla.
30 Jun 2015 19:28:53
Different Vidal Nelly.
30 Jun 2015 20:37:24
Skysports reads vidal agent stating no contact with arsenal whatsoever but didn't say anything else with regards to his future! Very strange! My guess is either ourselves or real Madrid, but Madrid wouldn't really have any room for him? Bayern may be another team after him?
30 Jun 2015 20:56:18
Ed has also said don't be surprised to see a player go in opposite direction
I think it could be Chelsea with Oscar going to juve or possibly Madrid with isco or us with rvp. Chelsea have been too quiet and juve have been talking about Oscar this week
{Ed018's Note - I don't think Chelsea has shown any interest in Vidal}
30 Jun 2015 21:06:21
Hopefully the eds will let us know if they get any updates, thst right eds?? 😀
30 Jun 2015 21:24:27
Hi guys long time reader 1st time post . we r looking for attaching mid according to rumours wat if it to replace mata and mata for vidal .thx to all the eds and others
30 Jun 2015 21:40:58
Good thanks ed. Well I think whoever gets him will be very pleased with themselves, sure there is a bit of baggage and madness but on the field he is a huge presence and he lifts the level of performance of all those around him. Dare I say like Robson or keane. That said I don't think we will get him but I dearly hope we do.
Any 3 from Carrick Herrera fellaini Vidal schneiderlin blind would be a very strong midfield either way we need Morgan and another midfielder such as Vidal /gundogan / modric veratti I think we need to target and sign a really top proven midfield player but more importantly that player must still retain the desire to win and drive this team forward and drag the forwards back when required he needs to inspire those around him and have the self confidence to carry the weight of expectation at this club.
A spine of Valdez Ramos Vidal and Rooney provides winning mentality huge experience massive presence, on funny note I would love to b a fly on the wall in that dressing room a couple of huge egos at least one total headbanger and none of them speak proper English but as I said above if they come and come with the right attitude old Trafford will be rocking again IMO

I can't see Madrid allowing Isco to leave. I imagine they would have room simply to sign Vidal as a replacement in the squad for Khedira, then rotate Modric, Kroos, Vidal, Illarramendi, Isco, and Rodriguez. I think Vidal going to Chelsea with Oscar going the other way seems very plausible in fairness. Juventus have expressed an interest in Oscar in the past, and Chelsea could then play Fabregas further forward, and play Vidal next to Matic instead of Fabregas. Still, we can only hope that there is a chance he might sign for us, the guy is absolutely dynamite.
30 Jun 2015 22:26:44
I'd be surprised if mata was swapped for vidal. could see lvg preferring vidal though so could happen! Wouldn't be fair on mata tho
01 Jul 2015 01:18:32
I thought about that Pepgiggs but I suspect Vidal would only cost £30 million tops this year as opposed to the £40+ million he would have cost last year. Anything around the £30 million mark is more than affordable for us, almost a bargain for a player of his calibre. Also I would hate to see Mata leave, the chemistry on and off the pitch between Herrera and Mata is fantastic, and it would be sad to lose that kind of team spirit that those two bring.

Are juventus still keen on van persie or has it cooled?
Van persie could be used in an exchange maybe.
01 Jul 2015 09:14:46
In an ideal world like gilly says, we can afford him so we don't need to give over a player but we had to I'd be happy to give them anybody from evans, Rafael, januzai (on loan) chica or rvp
01 Jul 2015 10:32:05
even i hate to see mata leaves but i don't find any other player juv want from us . and mostly he will end up in real for isco can't rule out psg too
