you guys have to accept you no longer are part of the top tier clubs. AF have won you guys all the trophies and its going to be very hard for you to replica that. you have a new coach, new players, some average players and the coach got to get them to play to his style of football. so its gonna take at least 2-3 seasons to stabilise.

I see the newspapers only dont know anything when they say a deal is off.

When they say it's on, it's gospel

Wall Street has ranked us the most valuable team in the world after the deal with Adidas.

Not bad for a mid table club eh.

My reservation with regards to Vidal; Serie A players don't usually transition well to the Premier League. The pace and physicality catch them out and few of the players ever truly adjust to it even if given time. Juan Veron (how United managed to fleece Chelsea I have no idea), Andriy Shevchenko, Adrian Mutu, Erik Lamela, Stevan Jovetic, Alberto Aquilani, Pablo Osvaldo (who even said upon leaving Southampton, English football is a "very physical type of game, with really tough tackling") all highly regarded, all spectacular flops.

Vidal seems to have the requisite heart and toughness to cope in the Premier League, but only time will tell.

I disagree on Mutu and Shevchenko- the former was a drug addict, the latter was not wanted by the manager and was played out of position on purpose. Shevchenko also helped get the best out of Drogba.

I also think you're being harsh on Jovetic- he has hardly been fit. 6 goals in 16 injury-riddle games is not terrible, either.

Mario Balotelli settled in pretty well. As did Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, Marcel Desailly, Gianfranco Zola and more- all highly regarded too, and all spectacular successes.

So I wouldn't be too concerned about Vidal- remember, he cut his teeth in the Bundesliga, after all.
