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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathangeorge99 27 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eidur the Spider 4,515 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,994 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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It's about time we change that outdated policy.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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El P. 1,354 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

One can dream... 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimmas 131 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Is there anyone watched him regularly how vidal play this season ? Is he really still top quality midfielder or just living his reputation when he play at juventus ? I just didnt want we just stuck with old & big reputation player but already past it or declined too much on certain crucial aspect, so it turned out he just only slightly better than our midfielder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leader on the pitch. He had some motivational issues in the start of season, but realy improved under Jupp. He still has enough energy for PL and being good friends with Conte, he would adopt quickly to this team. He just screams Ballack/Makelele type of signing who can give us alot for couple years, but I think there are very slim chances Bayern sells him.
