The arrival of the injury-prone Chilean has divided the critics but, if he can stay fit, Barca have bagged themselves a world-class midfielder
Criticism has flown in for Barcelona on many levels in the wake of their signing of Bayern Munich’s Arturo Vidal. Some of it justified, some of it not.
Conducting themselves in a poor manner yet again in this deal by snatching the Chilean star from right under the noses of Inter, just as they did to Roma with the Malcom transfer, induced negativity from the off. Indeed, this mode of operation has shone the spotlight on the ungentlemanly fashion of their current business, with their practices irking other clubs and damaging their revered brand.
