The negotiations were already on when Marcelo contacted Badass. But it was Badass who convinced Marcelo that Juve is the club for Vidal and it's possible that Marcelo told Vidal how the Juve fans feel about this matter.
We can't know what really happened but I'm prepared to give Badass the credits for this transfer
Marotta's biggest achievement, possibly after signing Barzagli for 300k. Even though I'm sure Conte specifically asked for him, instrumental to Antonio's tactics. Credit goes to Marotta for beating Bayern to his signature, though.
One of the nicest tackles he made this season is that on J. Zanetti last week against Inter, when he tackled him from behind and stripped his ass from the ball.... I stood up and yelled " Thats balls, thats balls, ye ye yeaaaaahh".....great game from him tonight, he is really getting the hang of Seria A and you cant help but notice that he also started to understand his role in this squad. Conte must be paying a lot of attention to Vidal at trainings. And also, i think that Conte sees more of himself in Vidal than in Marchisio like was the case at the beginning of the season
