Considering Vlaar met up with the squad in Holland, surely "once we get back" refers to getting back to England and this week?

Talks after the Stoke game ? Wtf ! Honestly my local Spar is being run better than our football club. Shambles.

[Toronto Villa]

From the OS, this is what he said. Where does it mention those talks are after the Stoke game?

Vlaar will now return to Bodymoor Heath to begin preparations for the Stoke match, which takes place on Saturday August 16.

Lambert said: "I had a really brief conversation with Ron. No doubt I will sit with him when we have a bit more time when we're back.

"He's positive and raring to go. He's looking forward to getting going. That, it itself, is a plus.

"He loves it here. That's him back now. He's looking forward to the Stoke game"

Some time in the past I missed when the media stopped reporting news and started wanting to make news.  Or more to the point, make news up.

I'm frustrated, disappointed or whatever with my club but to have to sift through half truths, down right bulls*** and the rest to find out what is truly happening is turning me off football altogether.

I think that quote is either.
1. An eejit who couldn't understand the context of the quote in relation to them being in Groningen.

2. A bit mischievous and wilfully twisting the quote.

Either way pretty poor standards from the beeb.

While I don't want his future hanging in the air going into the season, as long as he plays against Stoke I won't mind too much.

In terms of 'how much would we ask for', Cardiff turned down a £6m bid for Jordan Mutch, who also has only one year remaining on his contract.

I thought Noone at Cardiff looked quite handy when I saw him last season.

[SoccerHQ]

I'd be disappointed if we sell for less than 7m as I do think the WC will help putting a million or two on his price.

No chance teams will be paying 12m for him when they can have him for free in a year. He's not that good.

Given how important Vlaar is to our survival hopes this season I'd rather let him leave for nothing next summer than sell him now for relative peanuts.

I thought they all looked shit as well.

*eyes suspiciously, checks calendar*

Is it time for the annual "we've signed *insert word for 'nobody' in randomly selected foreign language here*" jokes already?

All my puns are rude, you all know this.

[Gregorys Boy]

I just can't wait for that damn transfer window to close again so that we can put all this crap behind us one way or another.

It was a quote from holland so it's lazy journalism
