As Tom Cleverley is joining us on permanent deal why not just do a straight swap deal with no fee. 

Because whatever we may think of both players Vlaar will not be valued the same as Cleverley.

According to Sky Sports Vlaar has said that the only clubs that have showed interest in him are clubs he wouldn't leave Villa for and if Man U had he would have heard. I really think with his injury record an extension to his contract is the best offer he will get.

I think he has been quite unfortunate, really.

He has a brilliant World Cup, his stock is sky high, his availability is known to all, and then not too far into the season he gets another one of those injuries he picks up all the time and spends a fair chunk of time unable to play.

Poor timing, but a perfect illustration of his problems.

I wouldn't be heart broken if he went, as we'd cope, but having said that, there is an element of "well, at last some good fucking news" to be had if he stays.

I'd agree with that. I do like Ron and think he's a good player, but Okore's form means he's wouldn't be a terrible loss to the team.

[IAmTheOneIanOlney]

Probably will end any interest in him this season, but if United or whoever still put in a bid and we accept, we have money in to get cover and won't be paying wages for a player who'll likely be absent for over a month in an already injury hit season. Plus I think we're strong enough in that area to cope without him.

Not that I want him to go, particularly, just hypothesising.

[fbriai]

You'd have thought that will be it for him moving in January now.

[Toronto Villa]

I feel terrible for him because no footballer wants to be injured. And he seems to be injured more often than not. It also likely means he isn't going anywhere this window so he'll see out his contract with us.

He's not really injured. He's got those doctors fooled!

I forgot. You're right. It's the big conspiracy we were discussing the other day.

BBC Sport says a knee injury

He seemed to clash knees with a Palace player on the touchline.  Wouldn't  have thought that would have caused such a significant injury.

it would depend what "state" the knee was in before the clash as that could of injured an already weak joint.
