Concrete Ron deal done

[Toronto Villa]

He said: "Yes it's right my nickname is Concrete Ron!

Fucking brilliant!

ps. just watched the Villa Village bit on AVTV. He is going to be a real star if his performances match his enthusiasm and personality

[Toronto Villa]

Rodders, I have just watched it on AVTV.  Ron looked and sounded absoloutely touched by the gesture.

Kudos to your Son.

Cheers BV It was all Felix' own idea, how could I not take him after that?!

that was a brilliant piece on AVTV Rodders. Ron was lost for words. Lovely moment!

yes, there's a real buzz about the entire place and with everything to do with the club. Haven't felt like this in years!!

ps. if you contact the club they'll probably be able to send you that clip for you and your little boy to keep

[Rodders]

Top idea!

I'll do that.

The more I see the more I think we've got someone a bit special here.  I really hope he becomes the player I think he can.

[Billy Walker]

Saw it on AVTV.  Beautiful stuff, Rodders.

As Paul_e says, Vlaar is coming across as something special.  He's saying some great things and they don't seem to be the standard platitudes.  He comes across as a winner, a real team player and a guy who genuinely recognizes that supporters are an important part of a winning team. You get the impression he is the kind of fella who can not only unite a dressing room and team but an entire club too!  No wonder the supporters in Feyenoord are so sad to see him go. He's a very positive lad, that's for sure. How good a footballer he is we'll have to wait and see, but I'm right behind him and hope he has a hugely successful career at the club.  Great to have you on board Ron.

Lots of footballers don't really make an effort at all. Others make the effort, but you get the impression they only do it when they have to.

Some go out of their way to make an effort. You get the impression the Concrete One is one of them.

The more I see, hear and read about this guy the more I think he's going to go on to be a Villa great.

[UK Redsox]

I'm hoping we're no longer MOR and that our recent Look Inside America demonstrated we have some Young & Lovely footballers ready to fly high like Swallows in the Heatwave. There's No Other Way for Villa to move forward and lets hope Lambert can make us live For Tomorrow.

I believe in you. You believe in me. You transcend the universe. God is smiling on you. Life is a waterfall, and you are the ultimate rainbow

He might fill a Mellberg shape hole - in more ways than one.

I've said it a few pages back, he'll be team captain by the start of the season!

PL has already said "He's a leader"
 That's one of the reasons for bringing him in.

Does anyone have the interview on SkySportsNews from today? It was on with the sound turned down in the pub tonight.

Dutch players generally, even Van Persie who's being accused of being greedy/traitor now, tend to come across far more humble, articulate and nice in interviews than your average prima donna.

[The Laughing Policeman]

Hope he gets a good run out this afternoon just so we can practice our songs for him.

I'm personally not a fan of 'Ooh ah Ron Vlaar'. I'm much more partial to 'Concrete Ron M'Lord'.
