Ok so this is yet another Vidal article. Of course I will be happy to be proven wrong if he ever does end up in a United shirt, however surely history tells us we have a very bad track record of getting these deals over the line?? When will we learn not to get so giddy?! When I say 'these deals' I mean the standard summer big name chase. Last year we were led a merry dance by Thiago and Fabregas. Neither came and we wasted weeks of effort. Before that Sneijder dangled the carrot and we failed to get that over the line. Way before that you must remember fondly the Ronaldinho saga. The common thread is that United bought none of these. They all tip toed around the subject like Vidal is doing which gives me absolutely zero confidence United will go "all in".
We are fully prepared to roll the boat out for up and coming stars and even overpay for them knowing we'll get our pound of flesh but how many genuine world stars already at a big club from abroad have United ACTUALLY captured?? Veron from Lazio is probably the one and only I can think of.
When will we ever learn?

Goes back to the old Man Utd phrase:
'We don't buy world class players, we
make them.

I get your point OP, too, but I can't help but think we over exaggerate.
For example, there's no concrete evidence at all - not even a reasonable amount of reports in the media - that we were ever in for Sneijder. We certainly weren't in for Ozil either, which came from someone saying they saw him at Carrington (ha!). We were heavily linked to Thiago but I'm not sure we went in for him. Fabregas, yes. But our tame bidding didn't really help.
I'll give you Essien, Ronaldinho, Hazard and Robben though. With the exception of Hazard, I thought those 3 above were in the bag at the time.
