Does anyone have the image of Vidal's tackling rate vs the rest of Serie A midfielders in his debut season. he first season his tackles percentage was twice of the second place midfielders, who was De Rossi.He was along with few other reasons were the main reason we won that season and started this dominance and our run to the CL final last season as well, when we finally decide to change to a proper formation. Some have really short term memory.
We are losing a WC midfielder who had some off day early of the season but we nurtured him back and we are selling him for just 40 million when he is at his peak.
And then, there's Khedira. I read some saying we bought him to start giving him high wages. He was a freebie , and option to rotate with all other midfielders. Obviously, when a freebie comes along , we give him high wages. That is no indicator that he will be first choice. People about Vidal's knee but haven't even bothered about Khedira injury history for the past two season is 10 times worst than Vidal's. And we don't gamble on injury to be a starter.
Secondly, Asamoah as a CM. It's been 3 season's an even back then he was nowhere as close as Vidal in beasting the centre midfield. First, Allegri got to play him at the middle which he haven't done at all last season and then Asa got to show the form. Let's wait for the first to happen, before we speculate that Asamoah is good replacement for Vidal. So far it's just wishful thinking.

Also its a pretty stupid theory to suggest we wanted to get rid of him after the drunk driving incident when the fact of that matter he was one of teh best if not the best player at the Copa America.
Juventus stand by their players/coaches in difficult times.Remember the Conte fixing scandal ?
Like i said its a really silly and stupid assumption.Otherwise Bayern wouldnt even be after him in the first place.
There is something going on with Bayern.Know i am sounding like an idiot repeating the same stuff but i strongly believe it now.
In the end,it could all turn out to be a bit anti-climactic if we get Goetze on a buyback clause.
Ya , I don't buy that drunk driving and behavior crap. Vidal has his heart for Juve, even the shinpads.
