If Juventus came calling and offered us what he is worth right now at the highest point of his sale value then I would not only expect him to go, but he'd have my best wishes. He'd be going to the champions of Italy, and playing CL football. Not a bad way to see out the next few years of his career.

He'd be a bit daft to turn down Juve to stay with us.

If, and it is an if, we do sell him, then the more clubs seriously after him the better as a bidding war is always good when you are selling someone.

Agreed .... but do we trust the current regime at VP to go out and find a decent replacement (an "anything but Baker" strategy)?

May aswell start the Dutch auction. £12m is realistic I think with those clubs outbidding each other.

Considering the current regime went out and found Vlaar in the first place then it's hard to say they wouldn't.

Yeah, I know; but that was two close-seasons' ago ...

[silhillvilla]

Hope I'm wrong but I reckon senderos is vlaars replacement.

[Steve kirk]

With one year left on his contract 12 million would be decent value, however would be spend it or stick with what we have? I think the latter, Worried of Bartley Green.

[silhillvilla]

Yanited desperate for CB's and Van Gaal factor.
Southampton desperate for players and Koeman factor.
Juventus can offer CL football but I doubt Ron will want to leave the PL and upheave a young family, change of not only school but country etc.
Lazio as above .
Spurs not sure they need a CB?

Yep.

If we sold Vlaar, I suspect we'd find out Senderos is his replacement.

Surely he upheaved them 2 years ago when he moved from Holland to England?

That would be pretty fucking depressing. Unless we spent all the money on a quality midfielder.

Yep but that was to get to the promised land of the PL. And weren't his kids like 2 then so pre-school etc.

[PeterWithesShin]

No idea how old they are, but if they are that young I doubt that at 4 years old changing school will make much difference to them. And you can argue that moving to the promised land of more money and CL football is bigger than just plying your trade in the PL.

[silhillvilla]

I doubt he will leave the PL for Italy especially if Yanited are interested and spurs . Yes he'd pick juve over Southampton I guess.
