Doesn't offer that much going forward but it would be a long day for all the attacking players who dared to tread too close to our penalty area: Bardsley-Vidic-Brown-Heinze EDIT: I voted Brown. More experienced, and a product of our youth system. That said, I don't feel there's that much between them at this point though...
Both have impressed this season, complement Rio and bring a different quality to the table. If a decision needs to be made though, then I look at things in a distinct way and please jump in if you feel this is incorrect in any way. When I watch Vidic play he strikes me as being very proactive. Brown strikes me as being retroactive. Given a choice between both defensive styles, I personally prefer the former. I also like the added bite Vidic brings and his ability to distribute from deep.
