Rumoured Arturo Vidal

[cfcs most wanted 657]

We should not go for Vidal, no reason going around for a player almost at the end of his prime. Gotta have someone who can own that position for atlas 6-7 years

[LAM09 6,777]

He's past his best IMO. No longer has that spark since his recent injury

I agree with you.

Radja Nainggolan is the way.

Nainggolan is only 1 year younger.

Victor Wanyama would be perfect for us and he's 24 as well the perfect age to sign a good player 

[!Hazard! 3,394]

He is such a versatile player that I'm sure he will be a very useful player way beyond his "prime" years. In Conte's system he could play a key role and would form an outstanding midfield with Fabregas and Matic. Plus, if we are going to integrate youngsters like Musonda, Loftus-Cheek, Traore and Kenedy, it's not a bad idea to have some experience in the squad as well. And this lad is a fighter, plays with a full heart every game and that's exactly what we need.

Talking about his value, are you guys kidding me with £15m? In today's ridiculously insane market, Ramires went for £25m. Vidal's value is probably around £30-40m despite his age.

Yes, but he earn much less than Arturo, and Roma paid him 14mln €.

With 20 or 25 (if Roma finish in top 3) you take him, and Conte wanted Radja as early as jan 2012, is one of the kind of perfect player for him.

Unfortunately our Beppe Marotta was not able to satisfy Conte.. as with Cuadrado, another player whose Antonio is madly in love..

Have little of him at Bayern but he seems to be continuing the form of last season. To be fair he was injured for large parts but still very far from what he showed in the two seasons prior. And when you factor in the fact that he's already 29 and is a player who relies almost completely on physical attributes....I think we can find better targets, as mush as I love Arturo and everything he gave to Juve.

Why pay that much for 29 year old and you could get neves at 18 year old for £29m

Agree with this. Would've been a dream transfer under Mourinho a couple of years back but we need to be getting a midfielder who can grow with the team for years to come.

We'll already be looking for a Fabregas replacement in a couple of years. We don't want a situation where we're in need of an entirely new midfield like we did a couple of years ago.

Rúben Neves comes to mind

I would rather pay £30m for a proven world class player like vidal than for some 18 year old boy I never heard of before.

Some Juve fans are quite happy that they sold him, perfect timing according to them.
In the UCL, Vidal showed them what he's made of, but overall he hasn't been the revelation so far at Bayern Munich, imo.

I don't want him at Chelsea, 4 years contract and already injury prone, i'm with you and would go with someone like Neves.

Well Neves hasn't played a full 90 mins in the league since mid December.

Vidal is obviously a good player but should we be looking for yet another player on his last legs? We already got 3 defenders and a rented Falao we should be looking to replace.

Get kante 

[CM8 18]

Kante, what a player!

In Italy a lot of people think he's just a good midfield destroyer, but it seems to me that this guy also have intelligence and good foot.
