Well, Vidal isn't leaving as he just posted a picture with the caption saying "I'm happy to stay here"
1.) He was on about the restaurant ;)
2.) 05 Aug 2014 12:07:08
Said he is happy to stay in Jakarta, not happy to stay at Juventus. It's only Instagram it's not exactly an official statement that he's staying at the club
3.) Wow and you don't even bother to link us to it.? Well done!
4.) Wow, just seen it, I think that's more of a rant at Juve officials more than a statement that he's staying. I guess this stand off between Vidal & Juve may go on for a while longer yet.
5.) ! Seen it too. the other players don't look to amused! (Pirlo!)
6.) Turns out it's a fake account, sums up the whole Vidal saga pretty much
7.) Yep, fake account.
8.) It's not a fake account, its on his main twitter account (see the blue tick next to his name which means its legit). Not too sure what to make of it. This transfer is dragging on and on. If we were ever going to buy him I feel we would have already.
Depressing as it is, all Woodward's talk seems to just be the same old lies. I hope I'm wrong.
9.) Utd were testing the water to see if they could make him their big name marquee midfield signing as long as the price was right (same with Carvalho) but have been put off by the daft figures involved in both transfers.
Van Gaal really wants Strootman anyway and Utd will now wait until next summer and go all out for Strootman if he can show he has recovered from his injury.
The only reason we were looking at Vidal & Carvalho is because Utd wanted to improve the midfield this season and their number 1 target (Strootman) was injured. Plus Woodward wanted to make a big signing this summer to show the world he is a proper Exec who can mix it with the big boys.
Better to save our cash, be patient and wait for what we really need. Strootman.

Don't forget the #jakarta maybe he is joining the Indonesian league
11.) Ever heard the story a picture can tell a thousand words?
The fact that he said he's happy to stay here but being held in a headlock speaks volumes to me.
I Think he's on the move
12.) Relax, it's fake, he doesn't have an Insta account. Th saga continues.
13.) A fake account that has over 180 thousand followers and has been active for over 18 months?
14.) King Eric, I don't agree with you at all. What's the point in waiting around an entire year for a player when we could just buy a better one now? We could have bought Strootman for peanuts last summer and didn't bother. Vidal is way way way better a player and far more what we need. Strootman is a player in the mold of Fletcher. We need some dynamism in the midfield, some goals, some box to box strength - Vidal encapsulates all these things.
15.) It was obviously a fake account, can't believe so many outlets put it out there and didn't even question the fact that suddenly Vidal has started posting in English haha!
16.) Tuttosport say it's a fake. But I couldn't care less to be honest. Getting boring now.
17.) He was on about he place he was as the are a few other juventus players with the same pic and msg. maybe a publicity stunt for restuarnt or city tourism I don know. my god
18.) Deaddobin
I agree, I think king eric goes by what he reads in the daily star than actually seeing the player. Strootman is pants and will get humped in pl. not one of our rivals or any top tea in europe showed one bit of interest. He is what I call a grade 3 midfielder and there are 20 mids in the pl better than him and might as well buy then domestically.

It would have been nice if we could have landed Vidal, but people are far to caught up on this one player.
We already have Herrera to give us the box-to-box dynamism people are talking about, and while he isn't as good a player overall as Vidal, I honestly think he will do more for us in that role than Vidal would.
Utd have never really been interested in the "marquee signing" type players in general, we're a team who prefers to make great players than buy them. I'd be really disappointed if that changed now.
Come January or next summer, we'll probably bring in Strootman as understudy to Carrick, as well as cover for Herrera. Until then we're fine for now in central midfield, it's our defense which needs strengthening.

Tyler Blackett has really impressed in pre-season, perhaps LVG is considering starting him against Swansea?, hope he gets his chance this year.
You sure? I've been hearing a lot of 'Done deals' since the Vidal saga started and still signed nobody?
Hope its true!
