Surely better offers would've come in by now? Tbh, I hope something does, and he takes it. As above, let him be injured somewhere else. He was all set up to be another in our historic line of players to wear 4/5/6, yet his overall contribution will probably equate to that of, I dunno, Steve Simms.

Vlaar is international pedigree. He's better than alot of central defenders in each prem team put together would make them top 4.. bar the top 4 and arguably on par on his day.
But sakho, fazzio, Alcatraz, colichino and Williamson, lovern, yosihda, Tomkins and collins mangala, vlaar is class act in a solid pairing or 3 would look good

Jesus Christ.

It can't be stopped. It just has to be embraced... I think.

The only problem I can see with Vlaar not signing is a similar issue to Cleverley...having to find transfer budget to replace him with an experienced and hopefully better CB.

If we have new owners prepared to spend then him leaving may be the best position for all concerned.

I'd agree with that if the finances are available to replace him...saying that given the choice, I'd replace the whole defensive unit with the exception of Clark and Okore.

I think now is the time to get rid, I have a horrible feeling we have a future Richard Dunne on our hands if we keep him, we need a younger and hopefully stays fit longer centre half, because as we have seen all our defenders are liable to be injured for part of the season, with that I would also say bye bye to Senders, keep Baker, Clark and Okore and add one young un and one mid to late 20;s with some experience and that would not be Johnny Evans.

Well said. The risk of yet another injury ruined season for Vlaar is too great.

Iknow football fans can be fickle, and spose we are no exception, But I also think in the main we "Villa" are quite level headed and loyal to our players, so how come most of us including me don't give a hoot about Vlaar,
imo because he misses half the season , injured, the half the games he plays he makes monumental mistakes (added negative, don't help young defender playing next to him) and therefore you get a decent job out of him for 5/6 games per season.

He is not the stature of defender we endear to at VILLA.

It says it all, that I would be more concerned if he stayed than if he went.How long is the deal we offered him?
