UUBlue said:A friend saw them together. I know it is unlikely we are interested in signing him, and as I said, Vidic may have been asking about Italian clubs. Isn't Vidic near the end of his contract?

He'll play again, but I don't think he'll be as good. Getting to an age where he's on a downwards slope, which with the serious injury he has just suffered, that slope will become a lot steeper.
Was a cracking center half though, and is still better than a lot in the top half of the prem, irrelevant of his injury.

On the last point, it will be interesting to see if he has lost anything from that injury - rags without Vidic are a lot less solid at the back.

Doubt very much he'll be anywhere near the same player again, I've had an ACL reconstruction so have a pretty good idea of how it can/will limit him both physically and mentally, to play professionally and reach his old standards, no, just can't see it, I'm secretly hoping they take a chance and don't go out and buy a replacement :-).
