Good morning lads and laddies, full time reader odd time poster,
Been reading this site a good bit(at least 3 times daily) the last 2 months, fair play to the eds, and all frequent posters on ere.
3 weeks ago I watched the Keane/Viera, best of enemies, and just around the same time the Arturo Vidal rumors started to really come to the boil, so I watched a bit of him back, you tube etc, he is the box to box midfielder, that the majority on here seem to crave, he is all action, i.e never afraid of a tackle, good eye for a pass, and goal, but there is one difference with himself and keane, there is a touch of class. Keane was great, brilliant, fantastic, the best, but when he opened his mouth he let himself down, always had too much to say, and rarely in a good way, but anyway what I really came on to say was that Vidal deal is done, Juve accepted an offer, down to finer details of personnel terms, agent looking for hose thrown in too, also vermalen should be done and dusted this time next week, Hummels will be his cb partner, but may have to wait for this as Klopp going to try and convince him to stay.

Thanks for reading

Lorcan, are these your views or are you connected to the deals? Happy if these are true. however not so sure about the Hummels/Vermarlen partnership as thatcwould be 2 predominantly left sided players which never really works. I can see both coming in but a partnership of 1 plus either Jones/Smalling/Evans or a new edition of De Vries.
Obviously that gouges out the window if we do play 3 at the back!

Can't really see that a hose will be a deal breaker but I did hear he was an avid gardener!

I think he ment to say his agent is looking for a couple of prostitutes thrown in.

"Thanks for reading" well thanks for robbing me of a few minutes of my life . Firstly Vidal is not as good as keane was has Vidal (no pun intended) had a "Juventus" moment like Keane, did he single handedly drag his team to a CL final? How as Vidal played in European competition, does Vidal have the same effect on his team as Keane . Also your "class" staement doesn't ring through, Vidal has been kind of stringing the media, Juve & Utd (to a certain degree) by not confirming his situation . There were rumours about Keane leaving Utd before he signed his last big contract but as soon as it was signed that was it no rumours he was staying at Utd . Vidal signe a 4+yr contract with Juventus 8mths ago and already is toying with his club and the media .I'm not sure what your idea of class is but Vidal is not showing it . Also your rumour is waffle although as I'm responding to your post a couple of days since you posted you may have come back with another scenario . #onehasashorttermmemory
