@Luca: Melo is more suited.

@Backspacer: where is Turin ?

Torino in English is Turin.

No kidding. But Turin does not exist. Torino does.

Location: Torino, Italia

i havnt seen Vidal playing so i cant judge his worth, but for a good player that is a fair price, especially in today's market

you cant compare this deal to sahin and ozil's, these two were bargains, and they only wanted madrid so there was no point of starting a bidding war coz they wouldnt have moved anywhere else. Vidal on the other hand wasnt in the same position, and i think if Inter persuid their interest in him his price would have gone up

so from a logical econimical point of view, he was a good buy

I actually think its a steal and he would be a great addition to Juventus and Serie A.


The midfield Vidal-Pirlo-Markie Mark is pretty good.

Problem is Conte is employing a 4-4-2. If it was a 4-3-3, I would be all for it ... or at least more than I am now.

Sahim had a clause of 10mil.Otherwise BVB have sold him for that so comparing him with Vidal is wrong.

Ozil simply only wanted go to Madrid so Bremen couldn't create an auction and also knew he has one year left in his contract.Juve doesnt have that pulling power now.

So yes its very good price for Vidal i would even say steal.

There was alot of teams behind vidal,so 12 mill is reasonable.

As for ozil ,he had only 6 months left in his contract so 15 mill is kinda overpriced.

Sahin was and absolute steal and it showed madrid have the ability to do the deals under a rock i n northern uganda.None other than sahin knew about it before the deals.

sahin had a buy out clause, ozil just had a great wc so his price was a bit inflated.
why do you think vidal is overpayed? i mean he one the mid in the world atm(if you look at the previous season) i think it is a steal at 12 mil considering danilo cost 16 mil,

juve r so stingy how can b ovapaid

gl gettin kun or tevez

Great deal considering how f'ed up the market is in this time

@JC;

I agree that Marrotta is on drugs, but 12 mill is a steal in today's market. It could have easily climbed up to 25 mill or more if city was intrested.

Brilliant price

I rate him very highly, a good buy from Juventus

It's actually €10.5M plus performance related bonuses that can see it rise to a maximum of €12M

Almiron €9M, Tiago €13M, Melo €18.5M (Plus Marchionni and Zanetti)

To put it in perspective bro

12m, it's okay.

Is this official, btw?

Subject to a medical, he's in Turin, should be done today or tommorow.

We will pay 10.5 million, and only if we reach our objectives we will pay an additional 1.5mil to Bayer.

He is not overpriced. In fact, it is underpriced.

Real Madrid were extremly lucky with Sahin and Özil. These cannot be compared to normal deals, our deals lately has been really good. (except Coentrao)

You can't compare Sahin with Vidal, because Sahin had a clause of 10m. If he didn't, Dortmund would've sold him for a lot more.

And Vidal is a steal. Stop comparing him with other players for a moment, and consider how good he is now, how good he will be in the future, his age, his versatility, and his potential. All that would usually go for 20m+, but we bought him for only 10.5m (not 12m, according to reports).

These "fans" on this forum are not what I really would call "fans."

But that is neither here nor there.

I feel it was overpaid, and that is the general consensus amongst posters on Vecchiasignora.com.

Mhmm, so am I a fan?

There are pictures of him landing in Turin, but all he has left is the medical and putting pen to paper.

Enjoy the fact that you have a great player coming to Turin.

Here's a Leverkusen fan who watches Vidal every week saying it himself... Vidal is underpriced.

And the poll's saying something, too... 89% think that he's not overpriced.

Recent Goal.com poll:

Do Bayern Munich need Arturo Vidal to win the Champions League?

55.72% responded Yes.

Take what you want from that.

Very good deal, Ozil and Sahin were bargains as well.

My god man, some of you Juve fans sure are stubborn

As already stated 94853849 times:
1. Vidal is originally a destroyer. Do not judge 1 season as all he can do. Bayern Munich wanted him to replace Mark "Terminator" van Bommel, FFS!
2. Sahin had a 10m clause in his contract, you cannot compare.
3. Oezil was linked with Barca and Madrid, had a good WC and a slew of teams after him. His price will be bumped a few million which is nothing nowadays.
4. It's a frakking bargain.
