The Vidal rumor was started by a Chilean WUM and it seems to have made the news in this country and everything is done and dusted.
I cannot see it happening, AW wont buy a CM, simple.

Pogba is a good player i get it but this image sums up the whole circus perfectly. No way is her worth 80m euros, no way.
I find the whole idea of trying to judge what players are worth a bit useless now. What is value for money these days? It's very hard to tell, especially at the point of the transfer. Real Madrid paid £80m for Ronaldo in 2009, that's probably considered a bargain now. And when you start talking in those terms (£80m bargains) 6 years ago, with the exponential growth in fees since, it's difficult putting a numerical value on any good players now.
I think Pogba showed more of his potential in the CL final. He's obviously an incredible talent. That physical frame with that technique is very, very rare. Maybe he could be a potential ballon d'or candidate quite soon. If you're talking about having him in the centre of your midfield for the next 10 years, winning leagues and playing in CL finals (all things he has done already) what is £80m worth then. Obscene money but it's the game we're in now.
Cech to be confirmed today.
That said, Real Madrid fees are always beyond crazy. Paying more for James, world record for Bale and sell Mesut fucking Ozil for £42m does not compute by any rational thinking.
I just think that a lot of players are hyped up by the media who have probably never watched said player a couple of time only. Ronaldo was the WPOTY at the time Real madrid paid 80m but i cant think of anyone else who is worth the huge fee. Bale and James are both world class but worth a combined fee of 150? no way.Quote:

If we did get Vital (i dont belive the rumors) then i think i would forgive AW for the dark years of 2005-2014.
A midfield warrior who scores goals, defends, tackles, runs around looking like a nutter and is only 27 as well. He would be a beast of a signing.
