In my option Vidic and Rio are only playing together fully in their 2nd full season together were as Bruce and Pallister played together for 7 years together at the heart of our team, I think that Vida and Rio are brillant but i think it needs to be maybe another season or two to be like Bruce and Pallister and achieve what they did in there 7years playing together, 1 1/2 seasons if that isnt long enough!!
Dont get me wrong, Vida and Rio are the best defensive pairing since them but i dont think 1 1/2 years is long enough to compare to a pairing of 7+ years palying together. I hope that they play longer than Bruce and Pallister did for United. Only time will tell. Both are the best on the planet at the moment!
