    Please not Warrior.... Would love Adidas myself although it would be odd seeing the three stripes on the sleeve of a Manchester United jersey.

    Odd for some, nostalgic for others!

    Now that Liverpool will be flush we should offer them Welbeck for 35m

    Anyone else picturing Woodie wearing dark glasses and following them around in a car with tinted windows?

    So how fake are the quotes attributed to Arturo Vidal back in 2011 that when he was a child he watched United versus Galatasaray, and Bryan Robson inspired him, and that he one day wanted to play for United.

    More rubbish????

    On a scale of 1 to 10, probably 11.

    He would have been 6 at the time.

    I'd love to believe that, what's the source?

    Strong links to both Vidal and Di Maria according to SportsWitness. (Holy Jaysus!!)

    Di Maria seems to be coming from James Rodriguez's WC performances and Madrid want to sell him to buy James.

    Vidal is another kettle of fish altogether. I can't see both him and Strootman in the United team, and although injured, I still think Strootman is more likely, purely due to his Dutch nationality and LvG's affection for him.

    Enough of your guff. I want Vidal. I've decided. It has to be happen now.

    I expect things will pick up next week.
    Read some Vidal quote where he said when he was 7 he watched United play Galatasaray in 94 and Robbo scored early on - and he said after that game it was his dream to hopefully on day play for United. Anyone else see that quote?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,961 ✭✭✭markcahill1985


    There are actually Utd fans on twitter who do not want Di Maria, imagine that? "Phew Di Maria has signed for someone else, thank got for that, so whos on the left for us then today lads,... Ashley Young? tremendous" Jesus Wept!

    Di Maria isn't leaving Real Madrid. This story is coming from the gutter rags.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,080 ✭✭✭✭Maximus Alexander


    I've always been impressed by Di Maria, I'd be happy to see him at the club. Although I will caveat that by saying I only watch about 5 Real games a year, so maybe I always just happen to see him at his best. :pac: Don't know why Real would cut him loose though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,248 ✭✭✭kstand


    Don't think he (Di Maria) has the physicality for the EPL.

    I actually think hes one of the very best in the world, he was outstanding for real this year in a midfield 3, not exaggerating just because he is linked but he would be unbelievable signing for us and is a player you would take without any hesitation if he was available. Dont know why real would let him go as Ancelotti and Ronaldo love him but then again real dont always do what makes sense.

    Vidal agent trying to do deal with Manchester United so his other client, Sanchez, has Juve option.
    Both Sanchez and Vidal represented by Fernando Felicevich. Juve keen for him to sell Vidal and try for Sanchez.
    In terms of could Vidal to Manchester United happen, think it's similar to Di Maria. Clubs want to sell and are actively trying to sell to
    Manchester United, maybe because they heard of the kitty. Both selling clubs keen to use recycled Manchester United money for own purchases.
    It's then up to Manchester United to decide whether they want to grant the selling clubs wishes.

    Also, United suspended Cantona right away for the rest of the season which was 4-5 months. It was later the FA lengthened the ban into the next season. The opposite of Liverpool who make up support tee shirts instead.

    Cantona also recieved a 2 week prison sentence, which was overturned in the appeals court and reduced to 120 hours community service.

    This Vidal thing can't really be happening?? I'm not even entertaining the possibility we might sign him. It's just too perfect for us. Surely one of the oily French clubs or Real will blow us out of the water?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,961 ✭✭✭markcahill1985


    Apparantly Juve want to sell Vidal to sign Sanchez, they both have the same agent, Juve have asked him to sort it

    He is leaving, it is just where he goes.

    Madrid will go balls out for Falcao and Rodrigues, get either of them and Di Maria is toast, and they need to sell him to raise the funds for either.

    Coming to united I would doubt, but i'd be very surprised if he is still a madrid player in September.

    I do think there is some merit to the Vidal to United talk.
