I still expect this to happen, Costa is similar to Suarez (minus the biting and racism) every good player, but he'll rub people in England up the wrong way.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

No I get that, I like accounts like these, Sports Witness for example. I'm just curious to see whether they are legit or not. A lot of people just put [MARCA] [Times] etc at the end of tweets to make their tweets look more credible.
I don't think they were cry babies, they just feared the worst. Considering last year, why shouldn't they?
What is really boring, are those that with hindsight are prepared to preach from the moral high ground. Chelsea will be a force to reckon with, make no mistake.
It's a shame how agents are so pivotal nowadays.

Gosh I hope Bayern stand up to Real Madrid and don't sell him. I'd love it if their tapping up tactics proved to be fruitless.
Cruyff and van gaal love kuyt. Could we actually sign himTweet

How are these players agreeing personal deals with the potential new club? Don't you need permission from the present club to talk to the player?
Buying for the sake of buying. I don't even think they need Kroos when Modric and Alonso are capable of dictating play to great effect anyway. Gustavo would be a good signing from a defensive perspective with Alonso on the wane and Khedira struggling following a long-term injury, as well as his future up in the air.
That would be the biggest worry. We already have three centre backs who have suffered an inordinate amount of injuries over the years, so to bring in a player who is even more of a crock whilst not that great would be a big gamble. I think we should target an experienced defender in his prime, seeing as all our three are a long way off theirs or still approaching it and perhaps Vermaelen meets LVG's criteria. I expect him to be quite meticulous with his transfer business, because the team is the most important in the end and we can't afford to make mistakes in the market this off-season.
He's certainly played within himself with the Dutch set-up and he knows the weaknesses in the team, so he's ensured it doesn't get exposed. For all the talk of him playing one way prior to the tournament, it's good to see he's very adaptable even if it goes against his principles; winning is the number one priority. With our potential squad however, he will be able to express his philosophy more and be more attack-minded which he's associated for at Ajax, Barca, etc.
You'd be very naïve to think clubs don't sort out these details with the player in advance. They're not supposed to but they obviously do. We do exactly the same as well. After all, Moyes spent a lot of last season telling us he had been speaking to loads of top class players who were dying to come here. That's tapping up too, isn't it?
I assume that's 5 million euros after tax.
In spain salaries are quoted after tax.

You can be concerned without propagating a myth about how great Chelsea are in the market. That's what grates and why people have every right to point it out.
'world crack'
That would be hilarious! Imagine after all the blind support he's had from Uruguay for him to finally admit to the bleeding obvious.

Yes, its tuttosport! they are the most reliable newspaper regarding juve. Effectively the mouthpeice of juve. They ran with pogba to juve stories month before it was done.
Get it done. €45m is a bargain for Vidal.
If the paper is the mouthpiece of Juventus then the article suggests to me the club want to spark a bidding war.
Juan Mata cost £37m. What's €45m in pounds roughly?
About that

Vidal would be as old as Yaya Toure when he came to the EPL and look what impact he had over the last 4 years. Get it done

Not sure exactly, but probably just around that range.
Well if that's what it'd take for Juventus to accept, and Van Gaal can fit him in, then the money is worth it.
If given a choice I think we'll go with Carvalho. Cheaper, younger and hasn't just played a World Cup with a dodgy knee
But Vidal is the end product and one of Europe's elite midfielders. Carvahlo would be much riskier.
So we could buy a player in his prime and considered one of the best midfielders in the World. Or we could go for a young kid who might become a very good player but is horribly over valued.
I really hope we go for Option 1. We need some players in their prime, not more youngsters.
