Concrete Ron

Stretching credulity to blame Vlaar to blame for Guzan chucking the ball in his own net.

The vile women a few rows behind came out with a corker about how Man United don't even want to play Vlaar until January. Probably because he plays for the Villa you odious indervidual.

 Didn't blame him, said he made a poor decision to go over to Barkley.

 Lukaku was the danger, not Barkley, he should have stopped on Lukaku.Saying that Cleverley and Brad shoulld have done a lot better.

 Wea re a poor team atm, Vlaar is one of our better players, no blame attatched to him.

I'm not convinced Vlaar has the fitness in him to see out a 4 year deal. I know many said the same about McGrath... but, it's a quicker pace of game these days. And, I just don't think Ron is cut out for playing a whole season without getting crocked. Similar to Laursen, albeit he was class and consistent with it, but you just knew he was going to break down at any point.

If we get £12m (or the equivalent if Cleverley is included) it would be up there with Andy Carroll and Shane Long for highway robbery.

Vlaar should not be offered a new contract unless he plays nearly all the games between now and January And plays a bloody sight better than he did today.

At the moment my view is that if he leaves, so be it.

What did Vlaar do wrong yesterday? He chucked the ball back before the third granted, but he wasn't at fault for any of the goals.

I never said that he was directly at fault for any of the goals, although the third was scored from where a CB should have been covering.

However, he was bailed out by Baker a couple of times early on.

It's more bad news for desperate Aston Villa as Ron Vlaar walks gingerly into the tunnel.

At least a stretcher was not needed.

Ron must have one of the most inappropriate nicknames ever. In fact that could be a title in Mock the Week.

At least our next game isn't until 24th November but it wouldn't surprise me if he's out for that. Anybody know how bad the injury is?

If he is indeed "concrete" then it's the sort of concrete O'Reilly might use if he was hired by Basil Fawlty to put up a wall.

Anyone watching it anywhere? If it's the result of a crunching tackle, he'll be back in a week. If he's felt a slight twinge in his calf, around New Year, if we're lucky.
