why is everyone ruling out ferdinand, he's probably been the best centre half in the league this year but yet people are still saying next year it should be vidic and evans

He's going on 35, he can't play every game so he'll most likely be a bit-part player.

He's 35 isn't he? With a dodgy back.

You can't expect him to be playing as many games as Evans.

I think Jonny's earned his chance to start with Vidic, and then see how it goes.

Rio will still get his fair share of games.

It will be Rio's final year next year, with that in mind then we need to look towards the future. Evans Smalling and Jones need games. And Vidic still makes a huge difference to our team. I read a statistic somewhere that said last season we conceded 1. 8 goals a game in all the games without Vidic and only 0. 7 goals a game with him. So on average we concede one less goal every game Vidic plays. So I would say that means he should play in most games. Rio will still have a big part to play next year, but I would expect Vidic and Evans be the prefered choice.
