Wow. Holding my breath on this one, but it sounds done. $#@!ing deals that seem to happen instantly -- where the player isn't known to be available -- they never garner a proper return. Losing so many of my favourite players from my favourite pro teams this summer... please don't do it, Beppe.

Please.

:vidal:
So much for being a top club. Top clubs don't sell all of their best players in the same summer. We got problems.

You can't lose all these world class players and replace them with good players. Oscar is a good player, Gotze is world class. But I see us getting Oscar, Allegri likes him.

The only way I see this being justified is that Vidal would've played as an AM, now you replace him with an actual AM. But it needs to be a world class player.

How can they sanction a sale like this after two incredibly influential players have already just left? Not only huge quality on the pitch, but huge personalities.

I can't believe that number right now, so until I see something that looks more reasonable than 35M, I'm going to stick my head in the sand and pretend this isn't happening. :D

Loyal Italians forever !

Nah, if Di Marzio said he's gone for sure, he is gone. Sad day.

Now it's our obligation to land a big signing.
When is that big foreign signing going to ditch us for a bigger team ??

I've always been in favor to the old rule regarding foreigners. Thing is Italy can't produce shit anymore. Verratti is the only real talent.

My take on this is that something happened and Marotta took care of it, not letting media know, not to decrease Vidal's price even more.

Maybe they know his knee is more fucked up than we know;
Maybe he's been shitting all around Turin's nightlife more than we know, and hasn't been focused/applied on training;
Maybe they offered him a new contract and he refused, asking for too high of wages.

Only something like this could force Marotta's hand to the point of selling him for peanuts. Maybe Marotta was cautiously shopping him around, and the incident at Chile made potential buyers like Madrid / United go away.

Maybe the only other offer received was from Arsenal, refused by Vidal. And then there is Bayern.

If Marotta is suddenly selling him for 35M, it indicates a situation with little leverage we don't really know. And probably won't be publicly acknowledged by Marotta.

Can we at least wait for official announcement and Vidal to tell his story and Marotta to tell his than we can judge?

I don't get this people saying 'so much from being a top club, top clubs don't sell their stars' that's BS. Pirlo is 36 and was our worst player on the pitch this season, Tevez wanted to go back so badly and we know what unmotivated Tevez can do in the dressing room and on the pitch. They asked to leave, what kind of message would we send if we kept players by force who want to leave? If Vidal asked to leave which is the most probable thing than its not our fault, Marotta said they will only sell Vidal and Pogba if they ask to be sold. Plus its not Marotta's style to rush so much like he did in the last 4-5 hours asking about information about players its obvious this struck him out of nowhere. Felicevich (spelling?) is the one behind this he was pushing him to RM, Utd and Arsenal according to many papers.
