Concrete Ron deal done

[NeilH]

He's way down the pecking order at Citeh I don't think they'd have a problem selling/loaning to us at the moment

From what I read in the press here, he came to Feyenoord as Citeh did not want to loan him out to another Premier League club. Perhaps the circumstances have changed, but I understand that to be the case.

Ron Vlaar can't wait to meet the Villa faithful - and his wish will be granted on Friday.

Vlaar personally requested the opportunity to meet the fans of his new club and will do so at the Villa Village Store at 2.30pm.*

Vlaar was a huge favourite with supporters at Feyenoord and he made it clear in his AVTV signing interview that fans are vital for any club's success.

The huge centre-half will be on hand to greet supporters in B6 and will also happily sign items purchased in store on the day.

Vlaar has been handed the No.4 shirt if supporters wish to print his name and number on their new Macron/Genting shirts.

Other squad numbers will be confirmed very shortly.

The meet and greet follows a press conference to herald his arrival at Villa Park that same day.

*Please be aware that this time is subject to his training schedule and may change by 30 mins or so at late notice.

Maybe the player wants to play in the PL now though and would push for a move if he had no chance of getting any game time at City,that's what I hope anyway. We need another centreforward and he would fit the bill perfectly

More shirt stretching.




The catalogue man casual look

[The Left Side]

Well done Ron and Vlaar

[Chipsticks]

Welcome to B6 Ron! May you fill the void Laursen left that was never filled.

On a side note, Ron in, Collins out, and Hutton seemingly on his way all in the same day? This is brilliant.

[Toronto Villa]

Welcome big man. Make a name for yourself and get the Holte End rocking again. We've needed a solid character down there since Laursen departed. Good luck!!

How refreshing to have a Manager who signs his players early, instead of that idiot MON who left it until 31st August and signed panic buys who were mainly mediocre on high wages and long contracts. I hope PL buys a new LB, cover CH and a new striker - we still need to boost the numbers as several players have left an already small squad.

Do not beat yourself up about it  you are in the mix of it

[DrGonzo]

Excellent good news.  Let's hope he is the missing link, he certainly looks a little like it.

John Guidetti hopefully

the Man city guy on loan , is he any good ?

He was a bloody revelation at Feyenoord last season. Surely Man City would not loan him out to a Premiership rival though?

Why not? We'll do well to be within 30 points of them next season and if he's on loan to us he can play against their rivals.
