From an AVTV interview....

"I am proud to be a part of of this team, a team with real identity, and I cant wait for next season to help push the club on."

....a sign he might sign?

[PaulWinch again]

Interesting remark.

[Steve67]

Get him signed up and make him club captain maybe?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I'd let him go. He'll be looking for at least a three year contract on good money and at 30, with his injury record, we don't need him.

[peter w]

He knows his options are limited because of his injury problems this season. Given that his performances haven't been altogether convincing since he has come back, which I blame squarely on him needing time to get back up to match fitness, so if we stay up then a Villa moving in the rigth direction may be as attractive a proposition as he'll get. 3 years or a 2+1, though?

[Toronto Villa]

You can never have enough leaders, good people, and talented individuals and team players and Vlaar is in all of those categories. And when he was playing with Clark and briefly with Baker he looked outstanding. If we can find a deal that works for both sides then we should absolutely keep him in my opinion.

[peter w]

And it's easy to forget that he is still our best defender.

[Brend'Watkins]

Correct.  A 1 year extension or give him the 3 year deal with a minimum number of games proviso.

[PaulWinch again]

I'd give him a two year deal, as I think his experience and leadership is important even if he's injured.

[LeeB]

What would cost for an equivalent replacement? And then it's always a gamble that they'll fit it, remind me what the scouse paid for Lovren?

If the deal is right, sign him up. It's another minor miracle that we're in the position to consider it again.

We're like a fruit machine at the moment, finally paying out in spades after years of chunking coins in.

The Cup Final may make his mind up. In an interview recently, he talked about never having a winner's medal. Win at Wembley and he may well stay. Lose, and he'll think about whether a move is his one last chance to win something – even if it means going down a level to the Dutch Premier League.

Was superb at Spurs and the SF

[tom jennings III]

If we have the chance to keep him then we should, no shadow of a doubt in my mind. His fitness is of course an issue but not so bad and hopefully with more thoughtful training and coaching methods this can still improve.

[passitsideways]

Based off the World Cup and what he's been like this season in his occasional bouts of good health, he seems to be far more fond of the big occasion than your bog-standard mid-table clash. So I say we sign him up and hire a hypnotist.

[KRS]

According to SSN, Ron has confirmed he won't be signing a new contract and will definitely be leaving in the summer. The question was being put to Koeman in his press conference if he would be signing Vlaar now this he will be a free agent in the summer. No mention of this on here so are they making it up?
