I'm comparing the two because they are in the same damn boat, I am not comparing them as players goofball. We may not have paid over the odds for Krasic but that certainly doesn't mean we can sell him for not returning the gesture for what we did pay for him. How you brought Marchisio into this argument I will never understand or what the reason for it was. Nice try on making a point that is easily refutable. I am sure you "haven't read" my posts where I have said on numerous occasions I'd sell Marchisio if a good offer came. Again, nice try.
I never got a notion about you wanting to sell Vidal. Re-read my post where i ask if you are claiming he is medicore and try and highlight the part where you think I said that you claim you want to sell Vidal. Krasic was one of our better performers almost a year ago. He hasn't been the last half of last season and certainly far from it this season.
Krasic is too one dimensional and we could easily find a winger that offers us more for around the same price we bought him for. Kick and chase is all he knows. Horrible first touch, average crossing when on form, the list of his average attributes can go on. If we play teams that are not intelligent we can utilize him, otherwise he does not have the footballing intelligence to outwit or out smart another team. He just doesn't. Players like Hazard/Shaqiri/Robben, these kinds of players have pace just like Krasic but offer a HELL OF A LOT more than he ever will.
This club can not afford to wait out some of these slumps when we have important objectives to reach.

He is no where near the supposed quality that you claim & yes he has failed to impress. Why aren't there calls to have his ass sold? It boils down to the whole youth product story along with his nationality because if Marchisio were any other nationality besides Italian he would have been shipped off ages ago. I love how you mention a good offer because you know there's a very slim chance of that happen, so please spare me with that one.
As for the Vidal part, did you read what i said to you? Did you? Clearly you didn't. So you think we have a shot at Robben, really? You'd really take a chance on him despite his injury record? Lets completely ignore the fact that we have a strained relationship with Bayern. No chance in hell we'd get Hazard with all the attention he's getting. Shaqiri is the only one that's doable & he wouldn't come at a similar price to what we bought Krasic for.
My main concern here is that we would waste time trying to flog Krasic in a limited transfer window when we could focus on reinforcing the areas that really need attending.
I We have priorities, exactly right. Priorities like reaching the CL and improving our team. Krasic's recent form is taking our entire right side backwards. It's said when pepe has to move from the LM to the RM just to take his ass off the field. I am tired of wasting subs to accomdate shitty performances.
So unless he improves, then yes, the answer is to sell him and invest in a more versatile winger that offers more than a 40 yard dash to the byline. Krasic doesn't have the ball skills to to dribble around defenders, he is only effective if he is able to get into space to out run them. Even then half the battle is that, the other half is actually putting in a good cross.

Im not defending his form here, what you're failing to understand is that we need to get rid of the junk first, work on our weakest areas in the team which is clearly the defense. We have a selection of wingers at our disposal this term so we can give another player at chance to prove their worth & allow Krasic the chance to prove his worth. It's like you're hell bent on repeating the same damn mistakes, lets buy a player, pin our hopes on that player & if they fail to live up to expectations its game over for them.
Do you not think this team would have been far more potent had we kept the like of Diego & Melo? Would it not have been far wiser to dispose of Amauri & Iaquinta?
