Arturo Vidal

Real and Barcelona aren't interested, Atlético would be a (financial) stepdown. Probably bullshit anyway.

The deal is done. Khedira is the replacement. Gonna be unreal to watch Alexis and Arturo play for Arsenal. So glad we're on such good terms with Fernando Felicevich.

More like it's more mind games between Barca & Real via the media.
I can't remember who's lap dog Marca are, but if they are for Barca then it suits them to suggest that Pogba will wait for Barca's ban to lift next summer, whereas RM may want to suggest that they could sign Vidal themselves and stop Pogba being likely to move in the immediate future.

Forgot to mention best part - we can take the micky out of ManU all season for paying more for Schneiderlin who's gonna be out of his depth.

Saw an article suggesting that Khedira replaces Pirlo so far as numbers are concerned, & that Juve are moving away from having a player as DLP.

Marca are Madrid based. You've got the wrong idea of how that newspaper works, they are more in a symbiotic relationship with Perez rather than being his lapdog. Don't think this has anything to do with them.

Khedira might be the squad replacement for Pirlo numbers wise, but I think Marchisio is the one who'll inherit the position on the field. He's done brilliantly in that deeper role whenever he's played there. Khedira would be a proper replacement for Vidal or Pogba in that case.

Mello

I'd rather we get marchisio.

Cheers for that - we see Barca are very good at using their local media to ask the right questions in player interviews so as to avoid any accusations re tapping up, and also release stories to undermine other players & teams.

Which is essentially what the suggestion was in the article, with Khedira taking Marchisio's position alongside Pogba & Vidal.

Honestly, we'd probably have a better shot at buying Pogba. They think he's god in Turin.

The guy in question, Hernan Feler re-tweeted this and is followed on Twitter by the agent of Vidal and Alexis.

I'd prefer to see the report from the source rather than a tweet saying he said so.

goon

The source did retweet it though.

Klaus

We're actually signing Vidal. What a time to be alive.

Irishgunner

The guy who first broke Sanchez to Arsenal has said on the radio that Vidal is done, 5 year contract.

Holy. Fuck.

Rex

Vidal is the fucking dream signing.

goon

id love to get excited but didn't we hear all this a a few weeks ago?

Rex

I'm not excited. I just think Vidal would be a dream signing. I wanted us to sign him already when he moved from Germany!

marv3llous

Well, the deal has been reportedly in place for a while.
