theres no chance, and he's apparently been poor at inter. we need to rebuild the spine not bring back the old one.
Nemanja Vidic
- Thread starter John_K
- Start date
No way he'll come back and no way we should think about that :newstart:
He is welcome anytime at OT but not as a player. He's gone and I'd rather McNair gets the playing time and makes mistakes which Vidic would get / make.
No way josé
My favourite player in his time here, but that's the past
Im sure that current Vidic would be better for us than the trainwreck Evans has been for us this season. Besides, his leadership was excellent and we currently have no leadership at the back.
When did you last watch a full Vidic performance?
A few months ago especially after Leicester, I would have said yeah. But with the emergence of McNair and Carricks return, I don't think we need him.
Better than trainwreck Vidic?
There would be absolutely no benefit in him coming back. Love the guy, but no.
Last season, I have not seen him for Inter but obviously, the consensus is that he hasnt been good for them. I would think that he is having a hard time adjusting to a new league at his age. He wasnt that bad for us last season, certainly not our worst defender.
Hmm? I am saying current Vidic cant be worse than Evans this season. Evans doesnt belong at this club either. At least Vidic would bring leadership qualities if he were in Evans' place.
The only leadership Vidić has shown in the past year is being an idiot. He's a laughing stock nowadays. I don't rate Evans highly, but even he's not as calamitous as Vidić.
Didn't see much of it during our last dreadful campaign.
Vidic is, to put it simply, a mess right now. He would weaken your defence.
Except for De Gea, everyone was bad last season.
I agree.
Like leading himself off the ship in January?
Like being a mentor to our young centerbacks like McNair, Blackett, maybe even Rojo, and being the best communicator in our defense on the field. Who knows, he might even thrive in a 3-5-2.
He jumped ship last season, is now been a total failure at Inter and you want him back? He was crap the season he left as well, no, we need to look to the future and move on. Its not our fault he's declined, and is having regrets. We will replace him like we replaced all the others. Whether or not its this crop, time will tell. We won't improve the defence with him coming back, being a "leader" and a "mentor" is not enough. If you're going by that logic, resign Rio, yet all of you will gawk at the idea because, like Vidic he has been utter crap for his new team.
No, we shouldn't resign Vidic. Still better than Evans mind
No. All it would do is leave us with the same task as we currently have when he retires in the very near future. Assuming he is even good enough to make the team now.
Didn't Mazzari play 3-5-2 at Inter, with Vidic being terrible in it?
Sir Alex said something about signing him a good 18 months after first watching him live because he was playing in a back three then and wasn't sure how suitable he was for a back four, so I wouldn't worry too much about him on the tactical side of things. Passing-wise he was always very safe and a bit laboured but he wasn't poor on the ball in any way so I think he'd get by on that front too. I just don't think he's a great defender any more.
Past his best, released at the right time. Legend all the same.
He clearly wasn't. The centre of defence was Vidic + 1 last season and for good reason. Moyes really should have been building for the future but played Vidic in every game when fit even after he knew he was leaving.
Almost in all his games for Inter he was awful in 3-5-2 system.
Seems to be a lot simply going off memory of how good he was for United. Suggest they actually watch how dire he is doing in Italy. Silly posts about how he's still better than current United central defenders prove the point. Vida's legs have gone & he's a pale shadow of the player he used to be. Wouldn't want him back here.
Anyone who seriously says yes has not watched him this season. He's a shadow of himself, really sad to watch.
Vidic shouldnt be anywhere near our pitch if we want to go forward. Guy is really finished. He fecked up every time i watched Inter, it was a comedy show.
No I don't want him to be here anymore. He is past his best and awful at Inter so far, he also wouldn't suit LvGs system at all, we don't need another defender who is uncomfortable with the ball on his feet and is injury-prone too. With us going forward and hopefully compete in Europe in the future again Vidic shouldn't be in our plans.
Big mistake for him and the club if he returned. Appreciate everything he did when here and don't ruin it by going back. Stick with the legacy.
Vidic and Rio were both past their best last season. Attention falling on Moyes saved them being scrutinised. I can only ever see him coming back as a defensive coach, and play occasionally if required.
I think the two of them were rather fortunate their true declines were shown under Moyes as you say, but that really was the only time. With Vidic, he was constantly off the field with fairly long injuries in his last few years at the club, whilst Rio in SAF's final season had a brilliant season January-onward. Didn't he make it into the BPL TOTY? The same couldn't have been said of Patrice, unfortunately. Worked into the ground, and no longer had the legs to claw his way out.
Vidic has past his prime. Wanting him back would only inhibit the progress and development of other younger players. We dont need the bloke.
I wish we had someone that aerially dominant now on our backline. Watching every goal kick bounce 3 times before our defenders get onto it was was like torture porn.
Totally agree with this (although not sure about "torture porn"). When Vidic played against Crouch he pretty much won every header. Crouch was never a threat. United are now like the Arsenal teams I used to laugh at when they struggled against any team with a physical centre forward. Vidic's greatest strength was his bravery. Shame none of that rubbed off on Evans in all of the years he played next to him.

So the club/Moyes did want to keep him, it was his choice to go. Oh if we had him in his prime

For some reason i would not ever trust a word of a agent.There is always some angle with them.
