This. Fucking this.
If Vidal is leaving for Oscar, then we are weaker this season. Anything less than Gotze or Isco and this is a really really bad decision.
Sadly, it does.
Different times Serge. Football is so much about money today, that it's unbelievable how a sale of your best players can impact you when you don't play that Qatari money game. in a year when we lost our biggest personalities in the dressing room in Pirlo and Tevez, and have almost reached the conclusion that a Pogba sale is inevitable next season, we decide to go and sell or agree to sell the ONE guy that epitomises what this team has stood for in the last four seasons, what message does that send out to Pogba? That we needed cash to buy Oscar in a season when we made the CL final. I disagree with the decision to sell and/or let Vidal leave.
This is going to be interesting to note. I really want to know who has initiated this, it certainly wasn't in the background for months. This is a sudden turn of events, and something has clearly triggered this. Player will see,s unlikely only because of Vidal saying before leaving for the Copa that he'd like to see his career out at Juve. Can't believe that won't happen. Honestly. I'd be equally amazed if this was Allegris decision.
Vidal is a priceless player. After selling him on, he may not be what he used to be, but this is the kind of player that sees his career out at the club. I don't think I have seen a more enigmatic and persistent figure in the club's midfield outside of David's, Nedved and Zizou. This is just an absolutely shocking development. And I genuinely think we are self destructing here if this move is for anything less than Gotze/Isco and Alex Sandro. I guess we buy him and move Asamoah back to midfield to limit the damage. Unbelievable that we lose the player that's always made us seem like we were playing with a one man advantage. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
