ozzmeister Posted 5 December, 2012 Share Posted 5 December, 2012 I just read the latest Sporting Spotlight on BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20002524 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokyo-Saint Posted 5 December, 2012 Share Posted 5 December, 2012 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.

Rasiak-9- Posted 5 December, 2012 Share Posted 5 December, 2012 no thanks Should look at Distin if Everton get Lescott back off City this next transfer window... Definitely take Distin! Don't much fancy Silvestre though, he's a free agent for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctoroncall Posted 7 December, 2012 Share Posted 7 December, 2012 He has signed for a team in India (Dodsal FC) and will join them in january. I swear we've covered this before!!! 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
