They actually did need a midfielder though. Especially someone like Vidal as they've often been far too passive in midfield, lacking forward runs and aggression in midfield. Goals from midfield as well, which Vidal provides.

Thiago and Martinez have constantly been dealing with injuries. You can't go into a season trusting they'll be fit for a full season. Lahm is not a natural midfielder and he's so much better at RB. Alaba is unproven in midfield.

Leaves you with Xabi and Hoijberg to count on (and youth). Alonso is old and needs plenty of support to fully function, and Hojbjerg is 19 and unproven at Bayern. That's not a recipe for succes. Xabi, Vidal, Hojbjerg, Thiago and Martinez for a 3-man midfield and Lahm and Alaba as makeshift options makes sense. Good competition and they'll never all be fit at the same time for prolonged periods anyway.

When Vidal rejects to play for your team

24.5m for him is the bargain of the decade. Why did Juve sell him so cheap? I have heard from a tifosi that Juve think there is an issue with his knee and that if his antics will get the better of him at Bayern too. Also he badly wanted to go there. But I am not so sure. Bayern have the BuLI in the bag already so they can keep Vidal fresh for the CL. Also nightlife in Munich is so boring, he might discipline himself.

because he has a dodgy knee thats probably why he went for so cheap

No because he is drunk everday and party all the time. That was the Problem

He has issues. Remember he crashed his car during the Copa America. I think there was also an issue with him clubbing a lot in Turin.

Aye. But theres no evidence at all he drinks when he plays tho

Vidal was reported to have left because of his daughter's surgery.

You could believe one story over the other, however, Munich didn't take any discipline against VIdal and his national team manager has defended him with the complete bs story the Chilean media riled up

Also, a lot of players go clubbing/drinking during the season, however, I have yet to see anyone that has the same stamina levels as Vidal has.

I dont really care what someone does in his spare time as long as he does his job.

What's everyones thoughts on this deal, he's not settling in well at Bayern, a Fabregas-Vidal midfield would be incredible. I should stop thinking about it because it won't happen but just imagine it guys!

 

[Hybrid Angel 2,130]

It won't be 'just' a Fabregas-Vidal midfield, in a 4-4-2 it lacks positional discipline and in 4-2-3-1 it's the same. In a 3-5-2 however another midfield is need for Fabregas to occupy the Regista role and for Vidal + other midfielder to play in front of him.

That being said, Vidal is the player I've been crying for at Chelsea. We have too many players he can do this but not that. Vidal can do everything, we should have signed him in the summer but whatever, I would gladly take him in the next transfer window.

Would Bayern want to sell him after one season?
