I know but still, fair price for him, too cheap if anything. If we wanted him Roma would have asked for more no doubt..

That's a great price for Benatia. Best centre half in Europe last season.
they would structure it in a way that we would pay say €60m for vidal and they pay us €15m for hernandez (essentially being €45m + hernandez for vidal)
Ofc ACL tear is more serious than meniscus tear. Depending upon the degree of tear, Vidal should have been sidelined for 4-8 weeks. He went into surgery on May 7 and was back on June 13 for Chile. That's like 4 weeks layoff excluding the world cup preparation training. From outside if looks like he was clearly rushed without following the normal rehabilitative protocol.
I can understand if we have some concern over his long-term fitness. But it depends on various factors such as the degree of tear, location of the injury, surgical procedure and his own recovery capability too.
Vidal shouldn't have gone to Brazil. The early return to competitive match could result in a chronic problem due to incomplete recovery. Whereas, Strootman will undergo the protocol and gradually return to full fitness. Till then we'll have a minimum 2 month window to assess his recovery.
Personally I prefer Vidal. I hope we get him and hope he has many injury free years with us.
I wouldn't mind Hernandez for Schneiderlin swap...
Not the names rumored....
So more Rojo types signings out of the blue ?

Oh man how I'd like United to go for Gustavo from Wolfsburg, exactly the player we need.
Might as well go for De Jong then if we want that type of player.
I'd like De Jong but Gustavo is better imo
IMO Gustavo is way better. Was immense in the WC for Brazil playing as a holding midfielder.
No idea why Gustavo is being discussed, have I missed something?
That explains why we weren't in for Benatia then. Damn you Moyyyyyes!
Gustavo would be the perfect addition. What's his situation at Wolfsburg like?
So was De Jong for Netherlands when he wasn't injured. Gustavo for me is marginally better but would cost a lot more. De Jong has actually improved since leaving City as well.
Van Gaal has worked with both players so he would know them pretty well anyway if he wants that type of pure DM destroyer.
Only Simon Jones. Probably taking it from that Calciomercato article.
Would be a weird decision from us. Hope it's not true. He is quite talented.
Thought Wolfsburg had a bit of money as well?
Heard Gustavo has a relatively low buyout clause and Arsene sniffing about.
If we sell this kid to Real we should insist on one of those buy back clauses in the contract that Real themselves seem to love. So if hes any good for them we can buy him back at our leisure.
I thought Carvajal was going to be their long term right back.
How about they get Varela and we take Varane of their hands ?
Sounds like an absolutely fair deal to me. Plus Varela might sell more shirts since he is South American anyway. Something which Perez would love
Wolfsburg have a lot of cash these days, so aren't under any pressure to sell... Surely if there was a 'lowish' buy-out, someone would've activated it by now?
Buy back wouldn't guarantee he'd move back, its only an agree price. If we sell him now I doubt he'll be bothered returning here.
Oh dear. Arsenal got rick-rolled.
If Varela is wanted by Real then he is doing something right. I say LVG should give him a few games if we swap to a back four to ward off any big clubs.
Can't be worse than Valencia. Is he in teh squad for tonight?
He's wanted by Real Madrid Castilla. That's big difference.
Good, no Lampard or Gerrard now.
Time for Cleverley to step up, England are in safe hands.
Anything good in here?
