Happy enough with that. Don't think we NEED any more midfield signings now. Carrick should be good for another year and with Fellaini and Herrera in there too that should be enough. Though if a world class player comes available I obviously wouldn't be against going for them. Getting the best out of Di Maria, Mata, Januzaj, Depay and the other attacking midfielders is the main thing. Our attacking play was so sluggish and devoid of creativity for the majority of last year.

Chilean media (la Sampa) are saying our £21m offer for Vidal has been accepted. Actually praying this is true as only himself and Pogba are players I'd really want us to sign.

I'd like to think it isn't true. Purely for the fact that Pirlo already needs replacing as it is and Pogba being increasingly linked for a move too. Surely replacing 3 of the 4 starting midfielders isn't being considered.

I don't honestly believe it is, but as a rumour its one i like. As you say i can't see Juventus selling their best players (so cheaply also) especially as Tevez has already gone too.

EDIT: Some more news now i've seen.
Arsenal have signed Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal on a five-year contract, according to trusted Chilean transfer insider Hernan Feler, the same man who first broke the news of Alexis Sanchez’s deal last summer.

Watch the Bundesliga highlights and tbh thought Firmino would be in and around the £15m price bracket.

Doubt it's happening. Basically this geezer said South American journalist was on the radio/tv saying that we've agreed a deal for Vidal on a 5 year deal, and was translating 'comments' made by him but in the end it was all made up called everyone a gullible fucker who believed such idiocy from a Twitter account that was 1 day old.

Quite funny, but there could be some truth to it. Near the end of May Hernan Feler (the journo he was referring to) did tweet that we had signed Vidal and that it will be announced after the Copa America finishes. What makes it more interesting is that Alexis' & Vidal's agent (Felicevich) follows Hernan Feler on Twitter.

Apparently the Vidal stuff is bullshit. The journo hasn't said that, neither did La Stampa.

Still not happening, mind. But it would seem strange that we're passing on Schneiderlin so easily.

Back in May though, all the newspapers are reporting it based on fresh comments by him on Chilean radio, which he didn't do. They're also quoting La Stampa, who haven't said anything about the deal being done.

I think Feler also said it'd be announced after the Champions League final. The deal may happen, but this guy seems to have unreliable sources.

We had to go through this last summer.

COPE are now reporting it's 90% done, with no use of 'La Stampa' or anything but their own sources.

Baffling.

You're crazy if you believe youll sign Vidal for 21 million. While you might indeed sign him, he'd cost easily double that

If Arsenal win the league after a close-run challenge with Chelsea, Mourinho is not gonna be happy.

Bet it happens too.

He's a bit of a dick, but a character, and we need one of those - especially in defence.

Will be interesting to see how his apparent troublesome elbow fairs with the extra workload he'll likely encounter at Arsenal.

Certainly weird seeing the big fella at Arsenal, however I think we handled the situation well given his service to the club. Ideally he'd have gone elsewhere outside of the EPL but wasn't to be.

He is fantastic, and EXACTLY what we need back there. Pretty sure it will never ever happen though.

Up until last night I was very very sure it wasn't going to happen, now I'm getting excited, so naturally he's going to sign a new Real contract.
