This is a bit of a "friend of a friend" is an agent with contacts at the Gooners and Id be surprised if they were in for MS. He tells me there is an agreement with Juve for Vidal (for less than the figures being banded about for MS) and that it wil go through provided he is not injured at Copa America. He says it is likely Sami Khadera will go to Juve on a free to replace him.

I'd be amazed if we got MS now Man U are in the picture.

I hope we don't drag out our deals as other teams seem to be able to get their main targets wrapped up far quicker than us. We always get the "wait for X tournament to finish" but doesn't seem to stop other clubs getting it done like Liverpool with Firmino (although I was amazed at the price they have coughed up as first rumours were £13m!)

If arsenal get Vidal for less than £25m that is a steal! Is he in the last year of his contract? He is a level above Schneiderlin

We can't compete for players like Vidal until we get the new stadium. We can't afford players in that wage bracket.

Just seen this from Ali Z:

'MS could end up anywhere of 4 clubs including us, as of 10am I heard no deal done 4 him, PSG seem to be the ones apart from ourselves pushing this most, think Wenger thinks he is too expensive and wants Vidal.'

And I bet Sanchez wants Vidal at Arsenal to, that also could be influencing Wenger partly.

The fact that as many as four teams are in for him ones that probably are all in champions league means its very unlikely we will sign MS imo.
Of course i could be wrong but in all honesty why would he turn down the chance of playing at a higher level and much better money, unless they all decide to go elsewhere in which case we might be lucky.

Thinks MS is too expensive but wants Vidal, makes perfect sense...

This explains why it hasn't been pooh poohed yet and why the media hasn't gone wild with the man utd story. Agent drumming up interest but arsenal are out and Utd are kicking the tyres.

I can imagine him settling for us only for someone to gazump us just before his medical. Fun huh?!

According to tomorrow's L'Equipe MS is joining Manure. Can't link as I'm on my phone but as much as that would suck, I can almost live with it because he didn't end up with the scum.

The moment MS says he wants CL and CL clubs bid, we should move on. If we are so desperate, we should tell ManU no Lloris if you don't back off MS. So if manU gets ms, at least we know we have our gk. I know which I will rather have.

Personally i don't think we ever stood a chance of signing him this year. In his own words he wanted CL football, yeah he might have settled on coming to us if another club hadn't bid but honestly would that have happened?! Time to move on.

Agree. And the time to get him was early last summer, before Southampton had sold half their team to Liverpool and Chambers to Arsenal.

Had we bid 20 million for him then we could well of got him. And maybe it would of been Lallana they ended up digging their heals over, or someone else.
