The vidal deal is off as juventus are asking for too much!

I must be the only one hoping Vidal doesn't come. Assuming our midfield 3 under LVG will have mata/rooney at no10, herrera, and a CDM, I would much rather see a good young CDM come in, such as Carvalho. Vidal is a brilliant player no doubt, but if you play both him and herrera, someone will need to play out of position, and for 35m or whatever with little resale value, I don't think Vidal is who we really need.

Why do I get the feeling MAN_UTD is a lad from a country where it is currently morning and he is now reading a morning paper which gets their info from the Daily Fail? Am I close?

Syd don't talk to Sir Ed Woodward like that, he is only passing on the very latest transfer related information, so that we, the supporters, are kept right up to date.

Manu91,

From what I have read LVG likes his midfielders to be versatile, I think it is unlikely we will target someone that is only able to play as CDM and yes I think you are the only one that doesn't want Vidal.

Syd,

He may also be someone who can't just RTFP!

Manu91 - I know where you're coming from, it's the main reason I don't expect Vidal to come in.

If he does though, I think they are both versatile and intelligent enough to develop an understanding, with one coming forward while the other covers, it wouldn't be the first time two box-to-box midfielders have made an effective partnership.

It also gives the option of playing without a number 10, playing them either side of Carrick, with both able to get forward. Could be handy against some sides.

Finally, while I'm a huge fan of Herrera, Vidal is the best in the world in that role, so I'd take him even if they can't play together and It reduces Herrera to an expensive understudy.
