Seemingly one of the most coveted midfielders in the world right now who should have the pick of where he wants to go. Manchester United are the most successful team in PL history but are very much in a transitional phase. Vidal could well end up going there, but in my humble opinion if he does, the monetary factor will the be significant variable.

He probably does have his pick of top clubs. 4. money being the significant factor certainly doesn't remove City and Chelsea from the equation. Far from it. 5. it's not clear yet where he's going (if he is going)

Why bother when you could walk into any club of your choosing who are regular CL fixtures? Commerical and revenue stability does not equate to or guarantee on field success. If the Shaw transfer rumours are to be believed, Manchester United can still very much blow anyone out of the water in offering the best financial package (Chelsea bowed out once they realised how much Man U were offering in both fee and wage).

This is the first season in many years we have been absent. Commercial success and revenue stability provide a very solid base for any club/business. Nothing in this world guarantees on field success. What Shaw rumours? From what I've read he chose united back in January. Before the details of the deal were decided.

If I'm worried United won't sign me next year, the chances are they won't play me next year when they sign someone better. If I want the money, I'll move but I'm not sure how motivated players are by money. Some are but I don't think the majority notice the difference between 100k and 150k.
