Rumoured Arturo Vidal

[DDA 9,691]

Linked with him again. He is 30 years old. Leave him be.

[Unionjack 7,531]

At 30 hes still a few steps up from Drinks and Bats. Id be happy with him for 4 years.

I really can't see him come till the summer IF he comes. With them still in the CL they wont be too keen to let him go without a new lad coming in and they APPARENTLY not going in for Leon Goretzka (Which seems like gooners are going for him)

An unbelievable player, who I'd have loved us to sign 3-4 years ago. Still would offer a hell of a lot now, but how many years at the top has he got left in him?

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

If its Vidal plus a wingback and a back up striker then that'll be a VERY good window.

If it's just Vidal then no.

[Pizy 18,430]

A player perfectly suited to the PL and who would be a beast against even the top teams in this league. I'd take him in a heartbeat even if it's for just a couple of seasons.

Yeah I reckon hes still fit as a butchers dog and playing full 90mins. Probably got 4 years in him but would we alter our 1 yeae contracts to sigb him?

I dont know how we would set our midfield up but he would open up alot of options for us A Vidal,Kante,Drinks or Cescy would be very interesting.

It's about time we change that outdated policy. There are more and more players nowadays who can still play at the top level in their mid-30s.

Yes mate. Specially with the physios,training and medical teams around now. These players aren't the out all night clubbing have a pint at half time lads of old. They're highly trained millionaire sportsmen. We need to look at each player as an individual not a generalization.

Wanting Vidal is not that special to me. What is special to me is that we STILL want to bring another midfielder, even if we've bought Drinky and Baka. That is like admitting that Baka is not good enough so let's buy someone cheap and proven, like Vidal. (I assume he is cheap, lad is 30, cannot be that expensive). Good. Great.

He'd be an ideal stop-gap until Baka develops to the standards we expect, or doesn't and we can ship him out without damage done to our results. Vidal, Kante, Cesc would be a very formidable midfield. Imagine going against Vidal and Kante, even if you get past them somehow you still have to face 3 CBs looking to take you down. And in attack he would offer something our other midfielders cannot offer.

Well, if you have Vidal and Kante, you may not need to have 3 CBs to cover their asses, too.

Yeah And then imagine if we added Sandro and Mahrez, the ones we are linked with the strongest, suddenly we'd look a proper world class team. One can dream...

Have a feeling we will end up with Mahrez and the odd squad player.

That is literally all it takes to maje us that World Class team. Three players. Just do it Roman. Just do it.

Not my first 3 choices but 3 I would be happy with. Seems that we are looking to Leicester as our feeder club. Couldnt we set our sightes just a tad higher ya think?

But we get Vidal,Kante in our CM and we could go to 2 CBs!! Just imagine the interweb would go into meltdown if we went to a 2-4-4 formation. Or stick Waterboy in for 2-5-3. Not the strangest idea for some games.
