How do you guys feel about the Vidal rumours resurfacing?
Latest factors still seem to be the questions over his knee, and the possibility of Mata going the other way. I think Mata is a great professional, but Vidal if healthy is on another level. Then again, it may be two separate questions, whether we can get Vidal, and how Mata's role is shaping up.

I am a big fan of Mata but I get the impression that LVG doesn't think that he does enough. It would not surprise me at all if Mata was sold, Sneijder was brought in as back up and Vidal came in but right now it is mere speculation.

Agree0 Disagree4

Defensively Mata is non-existent. Vidal is more of a team player and would benefit the team much more. Mata is a luxury player, we already have Januzaj and Rooney in that position.

I also feel that once the signing of Falcao becomes permanent it will put another nail in Mata's United Career. It will mean Lvg does see Rooney best in the hole behind the strikers thus pushing Mata further down the pecking order.

So Yes I personally would welcome Vidal providing he is fit and sorts out his off the pitch antics.

Agree3 Disagree1

Its simple really. We need a Vidal, we don't need a Mata.

We need to keep an eye on the wages for ffp, so before whacking a quarter million extra on a week maybe someone needs to depart. As well as Mata maybe someone else on big wages is vulnerable.

Agree0 Disagree0

MrE, maybe Nani? Although i do not know much about the FFP, do wages come in?
On the Vidal issue, "God Created United" has me convinced that he'll be the perfect signing.

Most fans love Mata, Great professional and can be great on the pitch. For whatever reason Lvg prefers Rooney in the role so he is a luxury backup that could be done by Januzai.
The purchase of Vidal (or Strootman if fit) would give an additional dimension to the team, added defensive bite as well as strength in the middle. Would love it in Jan and with the minor indiscretions it is a possible. if unlikely.

Agree1 Disagree1

If his knee is right he is one of the best in the world. We will potentially have the best striker in Falcao and one of best box to box midfielder in the world, who will also give you 10 goals a season.

Vidal and Herrera in the middle and a proper CB puts us in CL winning territory. We are closer than most think but need 2 top signing and then we have our youth also coming through.

Luke shaw will be some player.

Mbd, nani, Anderson and young would probably recover most if not all of vidals wages. But I think we could see a surprise as well.

Agree1 Disagree0

Id be devastated if we got rid of mata, such an amazing professional and i think be has a lot to prove. I hope he shows his worth vs chelsea!

Agree2 Disagree0

No contest I like mata but a fully fit vidal is a beast something we have missed since keano get him and a quality cb and do everything possible to keep De gea and we are back

Agree1 Disagree0

In my opinon sparky don't think De Gea will leave United so soon maybe at 33 or 34 he might move back to spain but that's just because its where he's is from not because he would jump ship

Thank f$%k this week is over, It feels like we only play once a month now. I'm even started watching golf to fill the gap. No league cup and no CL is absolute torture. Really makes you appreciate it even more and realise how horrible it must be over on merseyside. Hope Louis plays strongest side for FA cup or i could be watching tennis as well.

Been complaining for years about season tickets costing me so much with all the cup games. I take it all back.

PS Spike Island is worth a watch - makes you want to paint stuff

Night all

Totally agree Aj and it's another week until the West Brom game. Do they still show Kabbadi on C4 I might start watching that.
It's about time we had a decent FA Cup run we should be after that 100% this season.

Strictly Come Dancing, Downton Abbey, X Factor - my wife is exacting revenge in the worst possible way (these aren't even midweek things).

Internationals are just the worst. Turned off England games for the first time ever this week, they are less entertaining than the before mentioned shows!

Agree0 Disagree0

Thank god for netflix

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I think my wives and I use Netflix more than the regular channels.}

I definitely do ed, all I use the regular channels for now is gogglebox and football, and Game of Thrones when it comes back on. Since getting Netflix in September I've watched all of Breaking bad, Prison break, American horror story and I'm now starting suits, my social life is slowly slipping away lol

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - We don't watch any crap like that I am afraid.}

Wait, 'wives'?!

I know its the 'cool' thing for United fans to not watch England and slag them off at every opportunity, but you can't choose the country you are from and the amount of people I have seen say 'I have turned England off, they are so boring' annoys me.

So what if they are boring, I imagine the Estonia fans that sung all the way through the game last night think watching their country is pretty depressing too, but they were still doing it.

Agree3 Disagree4

You're not obliged to watch them just because you like football and are English. If you don't enjoy it, don't bother! And, tbh, it really starts to do my head in when the crowd start singing 'God save the queen'. I just get the impression they haven't really thought it through.

For anyone who is bored but has an inquisitive and open mind, I can highly recommend the 'talk conspiracy' page on this site. I ventured onto it during an international break a couple years back and I've been hooked ever since!

GDS2 - You need to try Netflix mate, Frank Underwood (House of Cards) is more entertaining in 5 seconds than what England produce all campaign.

What really worries me is how few Utd players are England regulars, it kept me going during the drivel on show during the 2000's - now pfffhh.

Agree2 Disagree0

I personally think we need a new national anthem as the current one well, it's not very current.

Has the Queen died?
