Just like each of our other deals this summer so far, it seems that the journalists really don't know much at all until the deal is all but closed.
I would suggest that things will continue in this manner under van Gaal's management.

I would suggest that things will continue in this manner under van Gaal's management.
It's well known van Gaal is a big admirer of Strootman and I can definitely see him being a target next summer, but there is no certainty that he'd want to leave Rome as we don't know his family situation, but all of that aside Roma will fully expect to be in the race for Serie A this season so I can't see them selling a vital player in January no matter what.
The difference being Vidal was rushed back way too soon.
That really shouldn't change a thing though. Strootman's injury is still much more serious than Vidal's is it not? Even if Vidal was rushed back, the severity of Strootman's injury should mean it balances out a bit more.
It also looks like the price would be similar as well due to Roma being hard negotiators.
Well if Roma are in the title race in January they will have done so without Strootman for the majority of the season up to that point so they might be open to an offer in order to use the money to bolster the squad elsewhere if needed. Also I would imagine that LVG knows whether or not Strootman would move or could easily find out given that he managed him at international level and thought a lot of him.
Why would we block Van Gaal for a player he wants (De Jong) unless we are seriously against signing a former city player.
doesnt mean anything what his agent says. Herrera's agent did say something similar (no contact from clubs, happy at Athletic and focussing on CL), a week later he was at United.
I don't think that's what he meant. He meant current club status is that but if Van Gaal wants him after not getting Vidal then it will change.
Yeah it doesn't make any sense at all. Strootman will have been out for about 1 year by the time he gets back to playing. Has Vidal even missed a competitive match due to his injury?

I'm really confident that we will get Vidal, with Hernandez going the other way. There was too much smoke for nothing to be in this.
There is so much smoke over the past couple of months for Vidal and I don't see a fecking light. Just darkness!
Referencing Paul Hirst who works for the Press Association so presumably directly from the club.Tweet

Looking at his timeline, it doesn't look as if Hirst actually said there's more to come.
I'm sure we all would be happy to let him go with Vidal coming our way.
What smoke?
The old Twatter discussion thread
I'm presuming he said it on the radio or something. Shamoon works for the BBC so I doubt the quotes are wrong.

?From BBC radio. He then retweeted why we haven't bid for Vidal (Juve not negotiating).Tweet

bargain.
To be fair, it would be quite exciting us signing two players no one really expects. I trust Van Gaal whoever he signs, so whether it's a random German player called Otter Waghorn, or a Irish wonderkid called Reggie O'Hooooolananan.
Vidal would of course be the muppet dream, but I must say I always prefer the "Wow shit, where did that come from?" type of signing.

or been told he's not for sale
Goddamn it. He's the only defender I've wanted at the club.
That would be he isn't for sale, rather than they aren't negotiating, it clearly insinuates a price to me
Juventus' stance has always been the same, they'll sell if Vidal makes noises that he wants to leave.
They're not gong to openly put him up for sale as they'd be in a poor negotiation position.
£20m+ £3.1m add ons. Bargain indeed
Likewise, given how much we've spunked on Di Maria I am willing to believe that United not getting Vidal would be down to concerns over his fitness or Juve being completely unwilling to sell rather than a failure on United's part to negotiate or under value the player. It will keep the window interesting to see who is brought in.
It should be fifteen million or no deal, we've been too nice in selling off our players for too long.
They can afford him now... It's really no skin off my nose though. Madrid's stupid.
He wanted Bayern as we had no CL, blame fecking moyes£20m+ £3.1m add ons. Bargain indeed
The most likely out come is money + Hernandez for Vidal.
I think the most likely outcome is that we don't sign Vidal. Hernandez might well go to Juve though.
That's why I think we should sell him to S'oton. They can bid much more than Juve and were apparently interested. Hate Juve and their low balling bullshit.
Chicharito - 15m
Anderson - loan (atleast a bit of his wages are covered then)
Zaha - 5-7m
Fellaini can't be sold because of his injury.
Kagawa - 12m
Cleverley - 8m
That's what I think should happen. Sadly I don't think that's possible.
I wonder. Are there any financial/tax issues with using a player plus cash deal? It seems to happen so rarely. I imagine the agent of the player being bought would get less of a fee if his comission is done by percentage (probably isnt). Other than that I cant think of any issues...
