Right decision.
Kompany is easily one of the top CB's in the World.
With Rio being so injury prone he's now the best defender in the Premier League without a doubt.
Before someone says Vidic, City for the have had the best defence in the league last year mainly due to Kompanys amazing performances.
I'd say after watching him over the past three years, in my eyes he's the best in the world.

It does not, but it shows how much of a stalwart Kompany is in City's defence and how he helps the keep clean sheets.
It's not only his ability in defence, his leadership skills he possesses which is something Vidic lacks.
Rio is United's best defender when fit by miles. This is something that most United season ticket holders admit, who see there team play live each week.

I think it also has to do with tactics, his role is more prominent and also perhaps slightly less difficult due to the Mancini's tactics.
Of course comparing two CBs, the brain and the brawn as it were, is essentially pointless Rio and Vidic aren't carbon copies of each other especially in their Role. It wouldn't surprise me given the season ticket holders I know. I really do not think Rio is better than Vidic, he might seem to be more important as the 'leader' but for me Vidic is the best.
Rio isn't as tough as Vidic and Vidic isn't as smart as Rio. Rio is definitely not all things at all times, he's a very good defender yes, but play Rio-Jones for a bit and Vidic's quality will become blatantly apparent.

You could make a case for Rio. He's just injured too much, thats his problem. I think he completes Vidic, he's a very good reader of the game, while Vidic is more rash and would always attack the ball. Rio does make Vidic look better i agree with that. I'm not sure he's been a better and more consistent performer than Vidic over the past couple of years though.
