Do we want a player coming for the London sights and sounds?
We fucked up massively by letting Vidal sail past without raising a finger. That's the kind of character we need (on the pitch at least). Wenger at his most stubborn and blind. Vidal would have been enough for a serious title push. It would have forced the mad bloke in charge to bust up his second rate formation and tactics. Which is probably one of the reasons he ran a mile while a top, top, top, top, top, top quality player who would most certainly improve the team was sailing by right under his nose. Alonso wasn't top, top, top, top, top quality either. He would have killed our one paced, tippy-tappy darlings.
