He'd be silly to turn Juve down if they came in with an offer he or the club couldn't refuse.

I hope he stays.

If Yanited come knocking I don't think Juve stand a chance.

Why? There's no guarantee that they will be in the CL next season. There not even in Europe this season. I'm sure the manager has a bearing on any decision but playing this season for one of the great European clubs in the CL would have huge appeal.

Possibly not. But there is also will he choose to stay with us just because we are a PL side if Roma or Lazio came in for him? That was what I meant earlier rather than he'd say no to Manure to go to Italy.

CL is one thing, playing in the PL or leaving it is another. The PL is the place to be outside of Barca , Bayern, Real. Juve are getting up there but I think he'd choose yanited and van gaal hands down over Juve.


Footnote : if he does go I hope it's to Yanited as he's nowhere near good enough to make them good again.

Agreed.

Lambert has been insistent vlaar is going nowhere. That doesn't mean he'll stay, but I hope at the least it means we'd set out to replace him properly

I really do worry if he goes, regardless of the money. Even if lambert was allowed to spend it what kind of quality player wants to come here at the moment? We'd have to go for a slightly desperate player - eg in the championship

If you're Vlaar and your coming up to 30, then moving to Juve should be a serious consideration. Serie A is an ideal league, particularly for defenders to prolongue his career. If he goes and gets offered a lucrative 4 year deal, he'd be batshit crazy to turn them down. He's have an opportunity to move to Italy and potentially see out his career, and he'd likely be able to get more out of his legs than he will staying in the Premiership.

But of course this all depends on who offers us what to prise him away. I'd say Southampton have the desperation factor and will probably set a decent starting point for any bidding war, but they'll be more inclined to overpay than Utd and Juve I think. They've got to replace Lovren pretty sharpish.

Somebody like Roger Johnson or Scott Dann I'd imagine is the level we are pitching at. Or the dirty bastard from smethwick.

Because they're Man United.

Pretending that doesn't matter as they're not in Europe strikes me as wide of the mark to say the least.
