I haven't posted on this site in a while but I thought I would let you know that a good friend of mine who has media connections is very confident Manchester United have all but signed Vidal.

He told me about one month ago that a deal had been agreed between the clubs and that it would now be down to player/club negotiations after the world cup.

I spoke with him the other day and he reckons the hold up is in part down to an agreement of the deal not being announced until later on in the window as Juventus do not/did not want fans linking the boards acceptance of the offer for Vidal to Conte's departure.

Make of this what you will be I trust this guy and he has been spot on in the past. The explanations he has given for the delays seem pretty watertight too, so fingers crossed the deal will be announced shortly.

1.) I have a source works for another premier league club in the near vicinity of united. He works with acquisitions and as such has close contacts with agents. He previously was spot on about the two porto players supposedly joining City on last day of window in January - said City had booked flights to fly them over but they never boarded as Porto raised the asking price at the last minute. Anyway - speaking to him tonight he said the clubs have agreed a fee - like some previous posts have suggested, Juventus have looked to stall a move to seem they are not willing to part with the player. However, Juve have apparently said it would be down to the player and they would keep him it he wanted to stay. The point he was getting at was that whilst a fee has been agreed between the clubs, it is now down to the player to decide if he wants to leave or stay. And he said no one he is aware of knows what Vida'ls decision is. Seems to line up with what happened today - Juve stating that if Vidal wanted to leave he would have to ask the club (makes it look to the fans as if they don't want him to go). Never posted before, always read the forum, first time I've had something that I felt was truly worth sharing.

2.) Thanks for posting guys. They were both good rumours to read :)

3.) It looks like Allegri is trying to let Vidal know that he's very much wanted at the club but Vidal has all the reasons to leave juve and join United. New challenge, a coach who likes him a lot (LVG) and surely more money for Vidal and his agent.

4.) I think it's time people accepted the fact that Vidal will remain at Juve. United will maybe look at a versatile CB that can also cover for Luke Shaw but that will be it. They'd have had it wrapped up by now if it was going to happen regardless of the so called politics about Juventus having to keep it under wraps because of Conte etc.

Achieve 4th place, gain CL football, worm out the deadwood who can't adapt to LVG's style and then make some premium signings next season.

5.) Well what a negative man simon ghost riley, trying to achieve 4th place is not how we do things, you must be a cockney red and hang around with arsenal fans to much

6.) Not negative. Realistic. If you'd prefer I could jump on the Vidal is imminent bandwagon and pretend that everything will be ok with just that one signature?

7.) Simon, between Herrera, Shaw and LVG, our biggest problems from last season are allready partly solved.

Getting in loads of signings now would just disrupt the team, like spurs last year. We will get the ones we need most, aim for 1st, and add the finishing touches next year.

Now Vidal may or may not sign for us this summer. If he does, he'll be great, but if he doesn't, we'll still get the players we need, and we still won't be targeting 4th.

8.) I love these fantasy football stories that is why I keep on coming back, thanks!

Following on from my previous post, please see an article below from an italian agent (Highly respected) Di Marzio.

http://gianlucadimarzio.com/juventus/damico-a-sky-giovinco-rimane-alla-juve-vidal-andra-via/

Basically he has posted some quotes from another agent who states he thinks one of Pogba or Vidal will be leaving, he then says, hell I will go and say it, I am sure Vidal will be leaving.

Fingers crossed we can pull this one out the bag!

1.) Saw that too. But I wonder why the club is so keen to deny that we are even looking to sign him.
