Concrete Ron

[Brend'Watkins]

I've revised my idea of 12 month concrete Ron contract to a pay when he plays contract.  I'd be very surprised to see anyone come in for him offering anything better. 

[footyskillz]

I think on a couple of provisions Concrete Ron will be leaving in window for an undisclosed fee.  He's affectionately know by LVG and some players as RPV !

Yanited are quite desperate so they'll probably offer him a 2 or 3 year deal.

Any news on the severity of injuries to Vlaar, Baker and Senderos?

I'd play Okore & Senderos against Southampton.

You would play him but I doubt the boss knows who or where Okore is.

[cdbearsfan]

It's a certainty that whoever he signs for, he'll go the entire next season without so much as a cold.

Maybe with the lack of fit centre backs, Lambert will insist on attack being the best form of defence?

[olaftab]

As it stands I'd imagine we will be struggling to get Sendaros/Vlaar/Baker and Hutton fit for next game

The next game is just under two weeks away so they should be all fit.

What the fuckety fuck is the problem with Okore?  Does anyone know?

Last time Senderos got crocked with Swiss he was out for a month and Ron's missed 6 weeks already.

Baker actually does seem to be a quick healer...the injury he got at Everton looked bad enough but he was back soon enough...it's just the picking up an injury every other game he has to snap out of.

Well, he appears to be fit - so that suggests Lambert either doesn't think he is as good as Baker and Clark or he has some other personal problem with him.

[kippaxvilla2]

Well if he doesn't get a game now he never will.

[frank black]

I think from Rons perspective he's not in a brilliant position.

The World Cup put him firmly in the shop window, so in a great position to negotiate a new contract or look for a move in the summer or January. However, two injuries later it has surely led to any potential buyer questioning a fee and a big contract over multiple years. Especially in light of his injury record over past seasons.

He's a good player but to pay a fee and big wages, he's too much of a gamble. I also wouldn't be that keen to offer him 3 years on decent money even for free transfer in the summer.

I expect him to stay until the summer and to accept a similar deal to stay, or perhaps earn less at a bigger club to have chance at trophies. Although I can't see him getting a sniff at a champions league team in England.

bye sack lambo as well lets move on ffs

[Steve67]

Given his injury problems, should we not retitle this thread: The not so Concrete Ron?

[Matt Collins]

Concrete Ron? More like marzipan!

Concrete Ron? More like paper!

Concrete Ron? More like China!

I suggest people add to this now and get the numerous alternatives to concrete off their chest.

And then I suggest anyone making this 'joke' is banned from the site for 1 month.
