The Indescribably Boring

Aston Villa defender Carlos Cuellar says he has still not received a new contract offer from the midlands club.

Cuellar, whose current deal expires this summer, has been holding talks with Villa over his future.

But the Spaniard, in impressive form in recent weeks, confirmed no concrete proposal has so far been put forward by Villa.

He said: "Has there been an offer? No, there has been no offer yet. I am relaxed about it, I am fine.

"If they want me to stay here, it will be easy. I am happy here at Villa, I would like to stay.

"If not, if my contract is finished I will have to say 'thank you, goodbye, it was a pleasure to be here, and I am grateful for the last four years.'

"In football it sometimes happens, it's alright."

Cuellar, signed from Rangers for £8 million, is prepared to give Villa every opportunity to re-sign him.

He said: "Because I'm in my last year, from January I could speak to other teams, even sign if I wanted.

Did he fuck.

[Dave]

Saying all the right things.

Good chap.

[Pete3206]

I hope he stays.

[darren woolley]

I hope he stays.

Me too.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Must be kept.

Even if he's not first choice, he's handy to have on the bench.

The Brigada lads sing a very funny song in praise of Carlos. I'll try to get all the words for your enjoyment. But it does include the offer to let Carlos have sex with all their wives.

I don't get it, just offer him a contract our defence has improved and we look better with him in it.

Great! One of the few players who's happy to stay and play for the club and we have not even offered him a deal.

These things take a bit of time, mainly as the solicitors and agents involved need to show they're earning their astronomical fees. 

[Dave Javu]

I like Carlos. But isn't this more about him and/or his agent advertising his availability to all and sundry, though - in the nicest possible way of course?

What do you expect from our dumb board? Luke Young was allowed to leave (Hutton isn't as good). Before that Gary Cahill was let go and Zat Knight signed instead! The hierarchy at Villa is great at making stupid decisions, so expect Carlos to go on a free in the summer.

The board wouldn't have had much say in those player transfers, and rightly so.

You're right, it was £7.9m.

[The Left Side]

I don't think he'll be going to Rangers now, he might as well stay.
