Dortmund would have froze him out had he not performed. I am saying we had leverage hence a transfer fee. Dortmund had none so no transfer fee. Vidal was never going to go for free. That leverage could have been used to make him stay for another season (my preferred course of action). I am not too concerned about squeezing out an extra 10 or 15 million from him. I wanted him to stay for another season given Khedira's injury record and that Tevez and Pirlo were leaving.

You sure want a lot.We bought Vidal for cheap and he got 4 fantastic season with us. Then we sell him for 39 mil and get free Khedira with same quality. Some times you should stop whining and treasure what you are having right now.

Yup, even in Lippi time we did not win 4 straight Scudettos. I hardly praise our board and our teams enough for what they did last 4 years, so when they struggle I hardly whining too.
Lets face reality - We suck!
We need 3 players ASAP!
1 playmaker 1 high quality midfielder and 1 great forward
Playmaker - Given the market and that we are in january the only options are Saponara and Vazquez - I`d go with the later
Forward - Morata is the only one who really deserve to play the others are annoying - Given the market I`d go for a surprise return of Giovinco or if you can think of a player who can dribble and shoot then he could be there too (I`d even prefer another player as I dont rate Giovinco as a superstar)
Midfielder - Given the market its difficult to find someone deserving (should have got Hamsik when we could)
Doesn't really matter. The best we could do after making a CL final was Hernanes not like you can do too much worse than that when the CL isn't around next year.
