£12m is about fair I reckon. Levy is a tight fisted nob though so he'll probably bid about £3.4m

Is this the same Levy who spent close to £60m on Lamela and Soldado, and £17m on Bentley? He's anything but tight fisted.

[olaftab]

Yes neither tight fisted nor an astute businessman. £100M wasted lasted season to get Europa League football!

Trouble is Vlaar has a year left on his contract, he should have been sorted out last summer. Am sure this has been said before, but not read the threads

Cue dave woodhall ... he loves this point. And he's right (imo).

[leylandalbion]

I think Vlaar has now earned the right to talk about contract extension at our great club.  He was absent 1st yar good in patches second and had a great wc.  1 year extension on same pay. Throw in captains armband.....everyone's a winner

[BoskoDjembaSalifou]

Why on earth would he sign a 1 year extension on the same wages?

And he's already captain, although I personally think the armband should go to either Delph, or Guzan.

Yes, we hold all the ace cards. The guy is being with clubs far better in quality than Villa at the present time, lets give him a hard time to sign or feck off lol. We should have done this deal ages ago, same with Delph,

Well Lovren is off to Liverpool so we'll see what happens with Saints.

I still don't see Vlaar leaving us to be with a mid table football team that just sold most of its best players. It will be us, or a CL team. My money is on it being us.

[villan from luton]

He seems a guy who has feelings for the club, lets hope he dont care about money as he will surely go elewhere. Who could blame him?

[Steve67]

He has a family to look after. Who could blame him for chasing some dollar at his age? He has had a good world cup and is ripe for selling at a top price. Either that, or he walks away for free next year (unless of course he signs a new deal). He, er, might also quite a bit of money from a free transfer, so I see the flaw in my point already!!  For me the decision is clear: sign him up again or sell him, this summer.

[villan from luton]

The problem is not Vlaars personally, it is Aston Villa Football Club. They have fucked up and if he goes can one person deny him that as it will be money that is involved

Imagine how livid we would be if our team had been gutted like theirs? Amazing.

Anyway when Lambert says we won't be selling, he means we won't be selling. The man has faults but he has never bullshitted over transfers nor blinked in a power struggle with a player.

Yes absolutely. I was reading an article earlier saying Luke Chambers to Arsenal now. This is quite an horrific " rape and pillage " however they do get left with a nice bank balance.

Just posted on the other clubs transfer thread that as a mediumish sized club who played some top draw football last year it just makes ya think what's the point of succeeding. Bank balance smank balance, real shame.
