Every time I watch Vlaar I think about 4 men, and I can't help it...Dunne 5m, 60k a week, Collins 5m, 40k a week, Davies 10m, 30k a week and Cuellar 8m, 40k a week. And then there is Vlaar, with a release clause of 3m and a wage that is reportedly very reasonable. And I think if there is ever a couple of footballers signed under Lambert already to show how different from MON he is, Lowton and Vlaar are them. Hopefully the press will stop the comparisons soon, it was my biggest fear when we wanted Lambert and he has dispelled it very quickly for me. His use of funds in the window could be the best bit of trading since Little brought in Southgate, Draper and The Big Serb.
Albrighton on Vlaar, from the official website:QuoteRon VlaarHe's a great footballer. He's been absolutely brilliant since he's come in.He's a role model to the young players - in every way. Everything he does is just so professional.He helps the lads, he talks to you, he's just amazing to be honest.He's been great with me. He got to know me on his first day - and he hadn't even signed. He was just about to leave Bodymoor Heath for his medical, saw me in the gym with my cast on and started chatting to me.He put his medical on hold! He was asking what I had done, how long I had been out for, when I was coming back. Then he started telling me how I'd be fine and come through the other side fine.For someone to do that is fantastic.

How much did Zat cost? I know he did an ok job when called on but again it was another centre back that was bought and replaced.

You've nailed it, Ozz, although the list could include KEA whom I also think has shown strong signs of 'bargain-buster' all over him. Saturday, he quietly got on with his job and broke up the Swansea play; no fuss, no histrionics.Incidentally, I was amused by the guy sitting behind me who kept confusing KEA with Ireland ... like, similar except in a different part of the pitch doing different things and displaying rather different behaviours (not that Ireland had a poor game; he didn't). Oh, and different coloured boots.
There will be a Ron Vlaar interview on Five Live today at about 12.25. Not sure if it's been mentioned!
