The same question applies for Thiago, more or less.
Vidal is at least a different player profile.

Last season:
Vidal 35 matches
The savior Thiago 31 matches

Why is an injured traitor Thiago worth a risk, and we have similar players?
And Vidal is not?

Because Thiago is better player, with crazy potential if he's fit. And he's YOUNGER. I'm tired of you and your arguments against everyone.

Vidal had 2 knee operations, has problems with alcohol... Fuck this shit.

Depressing...

We already have a B2B in the squad, his name is Sergi Roberto.

Isn't Sergi a Rb?
He will be either a Rb in all matches.
Or a Rb in like 60-70% matches and a midfielder in the rest.

If you use Roberto as a Cm, Semedo will be the only Rb.
And Ev likes to rotate Rbs and Lbs since they do get tired a lot.

Used to be a big fan of his but admittedly haven't seen him play for a couple years, he was however a very good player. 30 million in modern football is nothing, and he adds depth to the squad and a bit of variety in terms of playing style. Certainly an upgrade than resorting to Andre Gomes whilst 3-0 away.
The reality is a 'controller' like Thiago, Verratti,Modric, Pjanic etc are unavailable, so for 30 mill in the modern market for someone as experienced as Vidal it's decent business.

Dude, it's Inter. Those poor guys have been so bad the last few years they would prob take a Xavi pushing 40 right now and be excited about it.

Comparing Inter to Barcelona is just dumb.

Idk man, they had one of the best mercatos in Europe.

You emphasized his physical aspect, not technical aspect. So he needs to be physically on top to perform the job you said we are buying him for. Thiago is a technically gifted player so when he is healthy he could perform his task at top level. Vidal won't even when healthy.

If he comes for a low fee and we give him a one year contract with an option for another, that's fine. He gives us something different, but has at most a year or two left in the tank. Bayern obiously thinks he is clear decline so the price should reflect that.

That 30m is basically part of his wage costs. We cant expect him to last more than a year and we cant expect to get any money for him after that.

I don't want either of them. No Thiago, no Vidal. But Thiago would be twice the signing.

Age aside, he has one year left on his contract and Goretzka was brought in as his replacement. That's a big reason why they're willing to let him go for cheap

How is 30m cheap? They signed him for 40m in his prime lol.
