An aggressive centre half, he helped keep a clean sheet before his country eventually went onto reach the World Cup final.But what does this all have to do with Sheffield United? This week, the Blades were linked with a move for the 30-year-old centre-back, a signing that could go a long way to furthering Prince Abdullah’s aims of signing ‘super’ players.Possessing 79 caps for his country, Vida is an individual with plenty of experience, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t risks attached to any potential deal. In fact, it could go against one of the core values instilled in the team over recent seasons.At the start of the last decade, Sheffield United were forced to reduce their wage bill after failing to be promoted from League One. However, they’ll now possess greater riches, such is the luxury of the Premier League’s colossal TV deals.But the Blades have built themselves on a foundation of low wages, something that Vida could put at risk if he does walk through the door.Chris Wilder’s men have the lowest wage budget in the division, paying their players an average of £19,158 per game. As of Boxing Day 2019, they had the best value in points return per pound spent on player salary.
It’s a huge mark of their overachievement, but it’s also symptomatic of a club who have been sensible in the transfer market and refused to gamble. It’s also a sign of their stature as a club in England’s top division.
They have built themselves on a group of hard-working individuals who aren’t paid as much as the rest of the Premier League.
Yet, Vida would likely arrive at Bramall Lane with a wage which puts that at risk, potentially being paid far more than anyone else at the club.
At present, the Croat is on €75,423 per week (£64.4k) which is £14k more than top earner Phil Jagielka. If reports from where Vida plays his club football are anything to go by, a cut doesn’t seem likely either.
Previous news from Turkey suggested that current club Besiktas would sell him if the defender failed to lower his wages. And with reports now emerging of a possible switch to the Premier League, it appears as though he failed to meet their demands.
Call yourself a Premier League expert? How much did each of these big-money January signings cost?
Vida is a player with vast experience but as much as this possible signing would begin to meet Prince Abdullah’s vision for the Yorkshire side, it could also go against one of the club’s most fundamental qualities.
They must now decide whether bringing in players with bigger wages is worth it. For the sake of sustaining themselves in the top-flight, it’s a bullet they may just have to bite.
In other news, the Blades may wait until the summer to pursue their impressive £20m target…
