Arturo Vidal

[Joan]

We'll never officially know what Inter offered (MD will probably make it up when they see how much he's earning). It's a safe clickbait to post.

Maybe this will slightly calm down guys who are angry currently.
This is fun to watch, we need some of that spirit among our too nice schoolboys:

Our net-spend will be 0€ this summer, and the squad-depth clearly improved! Fine business by the board, considering Iniesta left for 0€.

How did you get this, I am curious.

Some let their kids have youtube channels... (Monito Vidal)

what purpose does rakitic serve now with this signing, in addition to arthur and roberto moving to the midfield?

 

[FCBfan22]

Magicians... Workhorses on the Ball

Great signing for 20 million, though.

 

[Devils]

Interesting stat: Vidal has only had 5 straight red cards in his entire professional career.

 

[Icarium]

He is actually in his last year of contract if we believe the rumours.

Arturo Vidal will join Barcelona for less than €20m. Final agreement not reached yet but the player will soon become a Barça player. [Cadena SER]

 

[Devils]

Squad is in beast mode.

FFS EV better not fuck this season up. Just too much quality in all areas to put to waste.

Roberto will be a RB, and probably a midfielder only from time to time.
Arthur is below Rakitic in a pecking order.

Imo, a pecking order of midfielders:
1. Busi
2. Coutinho
3. Rakitic
4. Vidal
*************
long pause

5. Arthur
6. Rafinha
7. Roberto
***********
long pause
Other guys will barely play (except Gomes, of course, lol).

** I have seen now on whoscored that in a league match against Schalke this February, Vidal as a CM made 14 tackles in one match

 

[CatalinR10]

some are saying 25 , other 20 , other under 20 mil

we'll wait and see

i swear i suspected this signing.. the club did well this season buying wise but still failed as usual selling wise.. out of the whole lot of the miserable players we sold the only two who are actually useful (i wouldnt mind paulinho though because the money was right). lets picture a champions league clash with alba missing who is playing in his place. digne provided decent back up. gomes, denis, paco, munir, vidal, rafinha (yes.even him) are useless, and all of them are still here. add the fact that we overspent last year and certainly took a good chunk from this years budget and you will see that another expensive signing was not realistic. Vidal is a good player but one on his last professional years.. you never know how those do. not all of them are giggs or zanetis.

 

[Messi983]

EV wanted his one oldie workhorse, better Vidal for 20 or 30M than Willian for 60-70.

Few days ago when i mentioned i would be fine with this guy as a short term option, i forgot about those alchohol incidents. I hope this is all what it was...incidents.

Anyway, for a 20 mil risk is low and the guy can easily be Edgar Davids 2.0 .

I do hope we sell 3-4 players before the season starts.
