Vidic will go, we all know it. Kidding ourselves is silly.

Madrid will make a cash (and possibly player) offer that would be silly to refuse. He has his flaws like any defender, but if and when he goes we need a top class defender to replace him immediately.

I would be perfectly happy to see Vidic leave for 30m and Chiellini arrive for 20m. That would be good business.
 
this story is most probably being used by united when dealing with vidic's agent.

from the financial point of view, the club will also gain - both from net earnings between the two transfers and also from the wages. According to the report from tuttosport, chellini has been offered around 60 k sterling a week . Vidic on the other hand is allegedly requesting the same pay as rio - around 110-120 k a week.
Not to mention that Chellini is younger
 
Chiellini is a brilliant defender and if Vidic indeed wants to go them we cash in.

Probably cash plus VDV or Benzema and use the money to bring in Chiellini.
 
We won't sell Vidic for only 25 Mil Euros and there is absolutely no chance that we're gonna sell him to City. Most of the Vida rumors are created by the reports the his wife is unsettled in Manchester, I don't know how moving to City is gonna solve that problem. If he goes, than he will go to Madrid.
 
Would be a good signing I feel, especially if Vidic does leave, but since when do we buy Italians?

It's pure muppetry for now but, if we are really after Chiellini, the hypothetical you've suggested seems the most likely, probably not VDV though, with Fergie being a Benzalover and all. There seems to be a gathering number of quotes, are they new or old?

If Chiellini comes, Vidic would almost surely be out. We wouldn't keep both and stunt Evans' development, and with 2 years left on Vidic's contract we'd be silly not to cash in, whether that comes in the form of Benzema or money, probably both

If Chiellini doesn't come I don't see us letting Vidic go
 
There are no two ways about it, if Vidic goes to Madrid a Madrid player has to be coming as part of the deal.
 
rossi, macheda, petrucci and the others...

Yeah, we didn't so much 'buy' those youngsters. Historically we have tended not to buy Italians for some reason, with the notable exception of Massimo Taibi.

Its all mupperty agreed. But if it does happen then this is the best way we can go about things.
 
From what i ve seen he s faster than vidic for sure

Thanks dev1, i might come across as greedy but love to see both Chellini and Vidic play for us together :drool:

Rio is now officially injury prone and Evans can be the back and still play a good percentage of the games through the season.
 
From playing as Juventus on FIFA09 and 10, I can safely say he's the best defender ever.
 
Like getting Robben and/or Sneijder in a potential Ronaldo transfer?

I always found that interesting, because after the Ronaldo story broke I recall Graham Hunter on SSN saying he would be shocked if Utd didn't have any players lined up to replace Ronaldo. I think he specifically mentioned Robben and Benzema as the players, but he believed that the Ronaldo deal was only agreed on the basis we had lined up a replacement.

I think Calderon was right when he said we had some form of agreement in place to sell them Ronaldo. The fact the sale occured without any leaks (usually papers find out a day or so before that a player is leaving/joining), we happened to accept the first bid we received and no players were included in the deal either means there was a pre-contract agreement to sell them Ronnie or we needed the money and took the first offer.

Then again, I'm probably reading too much into it...

If we do get Chiellini (most likely to replace Vida) I hope it doesn't mean Evans will get fewer chances. For me Evans has proven himself to be a top quality defender, very reliable, and he should be first choice CB (alongside Vidic). That would mean an Evans-Chiellini partnership. Question is, would it work??

You're not the only one. I think it's one of those "everyone knew it was there but no one could say/do anything about it" type situations. No one could write about it since the pre-contract deal would have been illegal and hence to go on record about it the writer would just be putting him/herself in a very strange situation.
 
He looked very average today against Slovenia. Out of position and responsible for the two goals. Then again, playing alongside grandpa Cannavaro might have had something to do with his general sense of befuddlement.

But but, he played against Slovakia today =/
 
He's a no nonsense defender, but I don't think he reads the game very well, and he is pretty mediocre on the ball. For what it'd cost he'd be a very low-rent Vidic.
 
vidic isnt going anywhere and we wont be signing a 20m defender with vidic, half fit rio , evans and brown, oshea, smalling in the squad


and he isnt shit .. but our first choice defenders are better
 
It would be madness not to cash in on Stam now while we can get plenty of money for him, as long as we can replace him with someone almost as good on the cheap (Blanc is available for nothing).
 
He proved himself at the euros no matter now poorly he and the Italians have done in this tournament. He's already established himself as one of the better players in his position at a previous time. Its not like suddenly Rooney is shit because he hasnt convinced at this tournament.
 
in a way the same thing goes for vidic. I m sure he wants to forget these wc finals asap. He was beaten in the air by a midget (cahill) and committed a silly pens vs the germans.

Despite all this, no one can argue that he s still one of the best defenders around
 
he reminds me of that Slovakian donkey that plays for Liverpool, actually, worse, he reminds me of Senderos!

He's just a big lanky lump

Our first 3 CB's are all better!

The midget Cahill who consistently scores headers in the Premier League
 
Juventus are ready to fight off interest from Manchester United in Giorgio Chiellini by offering him a new deal.

Reds boss Sir Alex Ferguson is keeping his eye on one or two central defenders as doubts surround the future of Nemanja Vidic and Chiellini is said to be on his list of targets.
The rumours had quietened down while Italy were in the World Cup but after they crashed out early the future of the central defender has again hit the headlines.
Despite all the speculation suggesting United are ready to make a bid, Juve General director Giuseppe Marotta says the player is not for sale and will be offered fresh terms in a bid to keep him happy.
"He has never been put on the market," Reds warned off defender bid. "We are ready to meet his agent and give him the financial recognition he deserves."
 
Chielini is an oaf looks like a brick layer whose bricks fell on his face, he is shit and slow.
 
He must have lost 10 yards of pace in the past few seasons then because at the euros he was rapid for a CB.
 
an italian website is claiming that chellini's agent is negotiating with real madrid. It was the agent himself who informed the media about the meeting
