Vidal stories are getting popular in Italy.

but im sure we aint only club sniffing around.

There was a £44m bid from Arsenal mentioned on SSN this morning. I'm sure Real and Barca want in too.

The good news is City won't buy him because that will drive Yaya out. One less competitor.

it will be a tough buy.

no CL football is a hindrance, but maybe LVG might tempt him.

odds against us, but you never know.

actually looking forward to the sunday papers this weekend, I reckon Ducker and the rest are gonna have some stories for us.

Are we giving Ed a bit of credit for his work so far this window considering the bashing he has received right up until a couple of days ago?

Best of the lot has to be getting a club like Dinamo to stump up more then we paid for Buttner!

To be honest Sanchez will have his pick of a number of clubs, he won't end up at Anfield because Barca want Suarez, he would only go there if he wanted too. Same for United, Arsenal, Juve whoever put up decent money he will pick the one he wants to go to if Barca are stupid enough to sell him.

EDIT: sorry I didn't realise the same point was already made

Ah but this eloquence was missing. Barca really shouldnt be sellin him

I actually don't mind seeing what Van Gaal does with Young on the field, he is versatile enough that maybe Van Gaal can get something out of him

Edit: ffs ref I am definitely going to be done out of my cards bet in the world cup game, 3 fouls same player less then 5 minutes no booking.

Foul from behind now, continuous fouls, no cards. Get it sorted ref

A 50M bid for Kroos and if they accept take away a 0 in the cheque and see what happens..

No chance. He bought a player for his buy-out clause fee and spent £30m on an 18 year old, I'd trust the receptionist at Carrington be able to do that.

If he can bring in Hummels or Vidal I'll be impressed though.:)


(The Buttner sale is good but it's not much more impressive than when we sold Zoran Tosic to CSKA Moscow for £8m stg.)

Ì'm just so happy that mitch is happy.

I know there are reports from Spain that we are still in the mix for him, but I just can't see us going for him after signing Herrera. Next midfielder bought will be one to add bite to the midfield, imo.

So, club dont sign players in positions needed. Eds fault. Boo Woodward.
Club signs players in positions needed. Meh, no credit due whatsoever. Boo Woodward.

At least its fair I suppose.

I reckon we will move for Vidal, and than have a player like De Jong as a backup target should Vidal stay at Juve or go elsewhere.

If he's doing his job right, we should never hear his name mentioned.

He should be a ghost, who just makes players appear and disappear at the managers request.

€7-€10 million for De Vrij, http://www.corrieredellosport.it/calcio/mondiali_2014/girone-b/olanda/2014/06/28-367098/Lazio%2C+sfuma+De+Vrij.+Astori+%C3%A8+un+rebus

it is noticable that Woodward hasn't been present at the presentation of the two signings we have made - Bobby Charlton being rolled ot for it.

Wonder if it is simply he wasn't available, or that he is purposely keeping himself out of the spotlight, at least for the moment.

Yes, Anderson goes from one Box of Chocolates, to another Box quick enough.

Busy waiting at the departure lounges in brazil?

I reckon he struts out to Vince McMahon music if he pulls of a Vidal or a Kroos, arm draped over their shoulder

don't particularly want us signing a young CB.

We need an experienced defender to replace the two we have lost, imo.

If he was doing his job right, he would have brought in players to fix the problem we have at CM and LB.




Oh, he did.

kryogen

I would like to see an older cb signed, doesnt have to be top class. Needs to be a talker and a leader though imo with good big team/game experience

PL experience would be nice as well. Who'd make that, verbal leader good enough to play and xp in pl?


Vermalean, lescott, jagielka?

Shouldn't be a bank breaker

Only 90 minutes until the back pages are online,be interesting to see who we are linked to there.

IvySlayer

Older CB with PL experience?

Jonny Evans lads

Mitch Connor

in terms of a more experienced CB my first choice would be Benatia.

We have been very strongly linked, in Spain, to Miranda - would be a great buy.

Larry Wildman

Lads

We are gonna sign Arturo Vidal. It's written in the stars.

We've gone from head in the sand "everything's grand" madness to identifying where we're weak and addressing it.

The Van Gaal era will be glorious.

Picture the scene in 2020 - Us singing "we won it 6 times"...

kryogen

I think I just came a little from the Rodriguez goal, one of the most satisying bets I have won in quite a while

Mad to think we have been linked to him for years and he is still just 22

I agree with both, but the money being spoken about for Miranda is excessive

Goal of the tournament.

yep - €30million for a 30 year old is big big money. According to Sporting Witness, the view in Spain is that the personal terms have been agreed and that United/Miranda thought a bid of ~€20million would have been enough, but At.Madrid looking for the full buyout.

Larry Wildman

De Gea
Rafael Jones Hummels Shaw
Herrera Vidal Kagawa
Mata Van Persie Rooney

I am seriously excited about next season!

I disagree. Too gangly and awkward and not funny at all.

Wonder if Rooney fancies a stint living on a boat in Monte Carlo.

Since FutureGuy didn't say it...

We are not signing Vidal.

Tbh, I think De Vrij is good enough that he'd be an immediate improvement on what we have.


Only defender with PL experience that I'd like would be Lovren. Subotic, Hummels, Benatia or Howedes would be ideal outside of that

RobertKK

James Rodriguez is the winger we should be after.
Future ballon dor winner in my opinion.

Rayne Wooney

A 22 year old millionaire going back to Monte Carlo after being possibly player of the tournament at the World Cup, imagine how much tail he's going to get :pac:

No way he moves

He would have been the perfect replacement for Ronaldo.
