O/T Vidi planning to do one

Announced that he will leave United at the end of the season when his contract expires

 

I genuinely think this is the beginning of a period equivalent to Liverpool's after 1990 (ie. no league titles for quite some time)

 

Perhaps he is off to Miami. If he doesnt want to be in England the timing would be perfect.

 

Well, Ferdinand is certain imo to go to Miami, so his defensive teammate might as well too.

 

It was reported a while a go that Vidic had agreed to go to Galatasaray when his contract expires.

 

Source or it didnt happen (though that might depend on the source)

 

I'm not looking for a sauce from months a go!

 

I think there were rumours about Juventus too. A few italian clubs have chased him over the years.

Miami isn't happening for a few years yet so doubt he's going there. The next clubs to join MLS are in 2015, Miami's date hasn't even been announced yet but I think they're going to build a new stadium for it.

Fergie got Vidic for £7m, what a bargain. But I think he'll be part of an exodus of players (which I think Moyes actually wants to happen).

 

Aye, I read today that Becks was aiming for the 2017 start.

 

I had just assumed it would be quicker than that.

 

Quite possibly. After all they went 25-ish years without a title in the 60s/70s/80s and even got relegated. The "great" Alex Ferguson took 7 years to win his first title there.

I am really happy the see that the Big 4 hegemony is breaking up. It was bad for football.

 

This is really no surprise, his agent said months ago that it was 'very unlikely' he'd renew with Utd. Inter's new billionaire owner apparently sees him as in important block as he rebuilds what has become a truly dismal squad in just 3 years after winning an historic treble.

He won't be missed.

They've got Chris Smalling.
