Vidic and Jedinak would be 2 perfect signings for where we are at the moment. Just Vidic would make a massive difference and would also instantly (I think) make people less worried about Van Ginkel in midfield. I know I'm getting into a bit of psychology here but I think people might view him slightly differently if they weren't at the same time, worried about the centre of defence behind him - if that makes sense? Spot on Paul. I would lose any concerns about us being a 'soft' touch for more robust opponents.

Probably Kevin Nolan, joke by the way I've fixed it for you so it makes sense

I don't think shrewd has to mean cheap necessarily. It is often a term used for clever alongside good value. Obviosly it's not him, but Yarmolenko would be a shrewd signing for say 10m. It's just, not paying over the odds. Saying that, this is Stoke so it probably will be a cheaply If Nixon had used 'exciting' or 'impressive' then everyone come up with a name for who they personally thought 'fitted the description'. However, using 'shrewd' has thrown many on here as I doubt the word' shrewd' is one they consider when thinking of transfers

Could Lescott be involved with a deal for Walters? I thought I read that Lescott had failed his Villa medical?

Vidic would be a shrewd signing
Loads of quality and experience and on a loan or for cheap from inter who don't want him at all

Where's the link to Vidic come from? For the record I'd go batshit mental if we signed him, would be the steel we need in centre half and I fucking loved him at UTD

I didn't realise Vidic was only 33 (34 in Oct). For some reason, I had him down as 35 going on 36.
Surprised it hasn't worked out for him in Italy though

Has Vidic been a disaster in Italy then? Hasn't it been a case of Mancini just not fancying him? They had a big bust up I think.

An older injury prone player is not in any way a shrewd signing
