El Mercurio is the same paper that said Liverpool bid the same as us for Vidal so I don't think they're very reliable

How do we know that Liverpool didn't?

Vidal is odds on to be at United next season and odds against to be at Juve.

Don't know if mentioned already but Barkley signed a new 4 year deal so that's another rumour put to bed.

As others have said, bookies odd don't mean anything other than more people have bet on him leaving rather than staying.

i.e. They mean something...

There are people with such conviction that Vidal will join United that they're willing to stake money on it.

The logo is fine apart from the size. Reduce it by half and it fits in grand. Its just the pure size of it.

Nice but too little too late, We need a black Adidas jersey next season. Either away or 3rd, I don't mind (I've been waiting twenty odd years...)

The don't mean anything. People are reading the tabloid rubbish, believing every word and using that as a reason to place their bets.

Not the best with photoshop and don't mind the kit too much but wouldn't mind the logo being something like this

Without knowing the depth of the betting we know nothing. If something is happening on this front, and some big bets start coming in, betting will be suspended across all the bookies fairly sharp.

LostBoy101

That even looks better to be honest!

Imagine how nice the kits would be if they just had the Chevrolet font and no logo.

I actually just prefer the gold logo on the blue kit! Kits will never please everyone

shadowcomplex

As long as Vidal signs they can go out on the pitch in dresses as far as I'm concerned

True, personally I don't mind the new kits, but the main thing most people don't like seems to be the Chevrolet logo so I said I'd put up an alternative.

I reckon the logo will grow on most after we get used to it, hopefully some lovely wins can help speed that up!

newballsplease

Chevrolet arnt gonna be changing their logo just to please Man Utd fans for the jerseys! Get used to the gold on red,white,blue,black whatever for a long time to come !

I also had €1.50 on it which moved the odds to 1/18.

What squad number will he take?

Nice effort all the same the white mock ups on the home kit looked better, Yeah I mean I'd rather have a Ferrari logo instead of the Chevrolet but ill take the cash monies from whoever is giving the most money

Rayne Wooney

I'm not believing it until I see him wearing a jersey jogging out the tunnel against Swansea because If I get my hopes up and we were to agree a fee and personal terms and then he fails the medical it would be the worst thing ever.

I wouldn't necessarily agree, remember Vodafone altered the colour of their logo for different Man United kits. The black jersey had a black centre in the Vodafone logo instead of their red centre. And also the white shirt had a black Vodafone logo with a white centre, opposed to the actual logo which is white and red.

Agree that we should just get used to it as personally I can't see them altering the colour of their logo, but I wouldn't rule it out completely.

Lads, just saw the jersey on ssn. It's 2 tone. Light blue at the front, dark blue at the back and the collar is dark blue. It's rotten.

I think most of the attention for this match might be on the new kit rather than players haha

Interested in seeing it on the players now. Also anyone hear any news on starting 11?

A nice sentiment but realistically as soon as one credible source says it on then its tits out gifs out.

Larry Wildman

Something being heavy odds on with the bookies is not meaningless.

To suggest otherwise is bonkers.

Anyone got any pics of that new blue kit?? :pac:

Seriously though I love it, haven't liked a kit that much in longer than I can remember.

Regarding the Vidal saga, I went to take a shít earlier and reached for a magazine called 'Sound on Sound'. The first page that flipped open had "Arturio On!" in big bold white font on the top of the page. I'm choosing to drop the 'i' in 'Arturio' to take it as a sign that he's definitely coming. Just getting the tattoo here now!

Wesley Sneijder was odds on to join utd a few years ago. Thiago was odds on last summer. It means nothing.

A deal for Thiago was all but done until Moyes vetoed it. Hardly "meaningless".

It is ridiculous to claim that something being odds on with the bookies is meaningless. Does it mean that something is definitely going to happen? Of course not. But if Vidal is odds on to go to United (and odds against to leave Juventus), that is positive from a United perspective. It is certainly not meaningless.

It's not bonkers, United were 1-12 to sign him a couple of weeks ago. Didn't sign, Sneijder was 1-25 at one stage, didn't sign. Especially in markets such as this were there may be a small pool of money and two or three bets of a hundred euro can cause the market to fluctuates dramatically

Moyes didn't veto it, nor did he veto Kroos as some have suggested

But odds/money talks

Just for perspective Rooney was 2-9 to start the season with Chelsea and 3-1 with United last summer. There is loads of examples of this!

Jesus Christ...

Rooney had fallen out with Fergie and had bad history with Moyes. Mourinho was publicly courting Rooney.

There is a world of difference between something that is odds on not happening and claims that odds on status is "meaningless".

If we wake up tomorrow and Vidal is 1/100 to go to United or betting is suspended, is that "meaningless" too?
