If Vidal really wants to go, you let him go only if he express his desire formally.
And you sell him at YOUR conditions - at your timing, after setting apart the adequate replacement, IF you are able to find one.
This isn't hard to understand. The guy has a contract. There are 3 parties. The deal was done for 100% satisfaction of 2 of them, while a 3rd got fucked in the process, with the low price and doing it too quick, without a proper replacement plan.
So you have to fit in the interests of all 3 parties to make it happen, and that's not what happened. It's as simple as that.
It was disastrous from the day it happened, as it looked at the time, and we are seeing the consequences now. It triggered a mess of a transfer market, that led to a mess of a team.

a lot of the issues the teams has will be fixed once marchisio, morata and one of asamoah or khedira are fit.
morata will fix the woeful goal scoring. and marchsio and asamoah will fix the lack of drive and link ups in the midfield.
henanes should never be near the first team as long as cuadrado is fit. cuadrado should be given free role
Don't count on Asamoah. Have restricted expectations on Khedira. The rest I agree, even though I think they will partially fix it, not fully.
