Which does point to the idea that either it was the player's request to leave or we wanted him out asap.
Regardless, being the best player of the team for about 2.5 of his 4 seasons, give or take, is not too shabby.
Though that doesn't mean I still like him. Much like Lichtsteiner, he's the type of player who you love while they're playing for your team, but detest when they're not. It's probably just me

At Liverpool for example,players have asked to leave and they have fetched themselves a damn good price in the end.
Sometimes i just feel we are not ruthless in these kind of situations.We are more the endearing kind which could be good or bad depending on the circumstances.
and Barcelona
Pirlo is a legend because he loves Juve, he never said that but showed it with emotions and went on to America to finish his career there because he is old and cant go the pace again with Juve.
Vidal is NOT a juve legend because he was the first to say he loves Juve, the city, the tifosi and that he wants to stay here a long time. (Said may 2015). He is a liar, he went on for the money! Just as 99% of footballers today. I am very thankful for his 4 years here, I loved him here. But NO juve legend

pirlo sure isnt, while i agree vidal is
One thing I've learned this summer: people really get attached to players.
Hard to draw a line between trying to look at this from the point of view for long term growth or immediate success.

Why not group everyone under history and only Sticky the legends? One thread. Less drama.

I say move Pirlo and Zidane to history. 
And if he didn't want to go to England but just Bayern your theory falls flat on its face. BTW I don't judge player values based on what 'random other player' went for, it doesn't work like that, there are many other considerations; position, nationality, age, willingness, contract length, clauses, how stupid the buying club are. For example Liverpool have to giev QPR £9m of their fee.
Anyway, thanks for everything Re Arturo! Can't say I will wish him much luck at a team like Bayern, but he was great for us.

I mean, before nearing a deal, you have to search the market for a substitute. If a suitable guy isn't available, you don't close the business unless they give you Gotze. It's as simple as that.
But when you do the thing on a rush, without knowing for sure who the substitute will be - that's shitty business in my book.
Now, Oscar is not attainable, Isco is not attainable, Firmino is gone, Gotze is probably not attainable, Draxler is only a bet. Do you sell Vidal knowing you won't get these guys? Of course you don't.
So it's not only the values of the transfer, but the lack of planning, while doing it on Bayern terms, on a rush.
