Mikael Silvestre

[ozzmeister]

I just read the latest Sporting Spotlight on BBC:

And didnt realise Mikael Silvestre was without a club. Surely he could do a short term job at left back, offer some well needed coverage and his experience of top level domestic and European football could only be of benefit to the likes of Shaw and our other young players.

 

He is currently maintaining his fittness at United.

agent probably wants a lot, we don't do agents apparently.

He was on Soccer AM a couple of weeks ago. I think he has a big offer in some oil rich country that is developing its football (didn't catch where). I think is is a player coach role or similar, loads of money for not much work in a noddy league. Sounds like his drive has gone and he is looking for a big pay day.

Welcome to September. Hope to see you in December soon.

I got shot down in a ball of flames when I suggested we should of signed him pre season, IMO hi would of be just what we needed?

[skintsaint]

Should look at Distin if Everton get Lescott back off City this next transfer window...

[Saint86]

Definitely take Distin! Don't much fancy Silvestre though, he's a free agent for a reason.

I can't believe people are seriously considering this as an option.

Think we could coax Jaap Stam out of retirement?

[Colinjb]

He has signed for a team in India (Dodsal FC) and will join them in january. I swear we've covered this before!!!

[Dibden Purlieu Saint]

This was from an interview published today:

 

What next, then, for Mikaël Silvestre? Well I'm back training at Manchester United, every day. I still have a house here and the children loved being here. They were born in Manchester, they've got friends from school. Family is important, and they're enjoying being here. They don't mind the rain. Me neither.

So you're playing on? Sure. Hopefully I'll find a club in December or January, and I'll keep going, keep playing. I have to keep going as long as I can.

You're 35 now. How long will that be? Time will tell. It's difficult to say. Football's not as easy as when I was 20, but once I'm warm I feel good enough to carry on. I still love playing, and love training.

You'll keep going until your head or your body tells you to stop That's right. I think it will be the body that stops first. You never stop enjoying football, but I think one day your body says, give me a break.
