no, just check any financial statement (and in that, an income statement) of the club. fyi, it's on the 17th page in the last report. or check page 24 + pages 56-57 while you're at it.
He's far from Vidal. Vidal pretty much was already performing at WC level, scored 10 or 11 goals for Leverkusen, won balls, dictated play and was a complete player.
Can is decent, but you'll be disappointed if you think we're signing a Vidal.
Someone playing at that level for a year or playing for Leverkusen can't be considered WC, but he was already playing at that top level.
It wasn't like we signed a Can level player (who isn't Vidal level good and will never be that good, there's simply no comparison) who bloomed with us. He was great already.

I think Can is underrated here by many, and he still has lots of room to grow into a top class player, but comparisons to Vidal are pretty silly. He has nowhere near the engine of Vidal. Not really a similar player at all.
