Arturo Vidal (125 Viewers)
- Thread starter Azzurri7
- Start date
I am going to break this down for you a little more simply.
A) Tevez and Pirlo left the club this season. Selling another pillar of the team in this season is not the brightest way forward.
B) Given the inevitability of a Pogba sale, Vidal is the player should have held on to seeing as he is also the one who has been more integral to the teams cause in the last four seasons here. Next year, when Pogba is gone we are building that midfield from scratch around Marchisio.
C) Even if it is the player who asked to be sold here, you don't go and undersell him, especially given that the AM you intend to replace him with is going to cost you a little more on top of revenue you generate.
D) A move like this does not suggest a big club mentality to buying teams and the players on the team as well. You hold on to your best players especially after you come out and say that you will be doing that.
So before you go out and call this knee jerking, look out for the meaning of the word. And don't come about here and tell me that shit happens in cycles. The cycle you are referring to is Tevez and Pirlo leaving. And bringing in new blood. Not selling a 28 year old player in his prime, who is integral to the cause and until a month ago had come out and said he wanted to see out his career at the club. That is not how you renew a cycle when you're aiming to win the CL.
I also fail to understand how it makes a bunch of fans spoiled brats to be against a sale that was absolutely not needed in the first place, while in everybody's own admittance, including Marrotta's, that the Mercato was done and dusted. Clearly, all the titles you're trying to keep a count of, in your mind are solely attributed to the work of the management exclusively. And probably Conte doesn't deserve any credit for it, because hey we won even after he left.
Things go up and down. But you don't bring it upon yourself where it's not needed, especially when you don't operate in certain market conditions, the way we do. Making shrewd moves without buying for big money. Everything is not about the management or the board being right.
Everything is about perspective. Get some, before you come out here and stereotype somebody's opinion.

That is the likely outcome. Although 35m is not buying us both, only the AM. The Lb probably comes from the Llorente and Isla sales and becomes imperative coz it will mean moving Asa to midfield. And the AM to me should be no less than a Gotze or Isco. Anything less would be seriously underwhelming IMO.

The one thing that comforts me...Vidal was out of form most of the season, and we nearly managed a treble. He (especially) wasnt great for us in the CL. Sure you can counter that by saying our best player in the CL was Tevez (which is true).. but I honestly think we've upgraded our overall attacking department.
In term of Vidal going, as we all know our midfield is still stacked. With a proper trequartista and an LB added to the starting 11, we'd be set. The key is how much we make off the sale. Anything under 40M is shocking tho.
