We selling Okore then?

At the moment Vlaar is playing on the left, his weak side. I cannot see TS trusting Okore for too long on his weak side at this stage of this career, so we need to keep them both unless we are replacing them. Senderos and Donacien are mainly right footed too, so we are relying on Clark and Baker to remain fit to keep the balance.

... so we are relying on Clark and Baker to remain fit to keep the balance.

Clark's long term fitness has never really been in question - this injury is his first significant one, I think. Baker is a different proposition, though, and he either needs to get sorted or we should be looking for back-up alternative (assuming Senderos is also unable to prove his long term fitness).

From last week being interviewed and saying he can't wait until next season to help push the club on to now when it has been somebody said that it had been reported that he said he will not be staying.

I may be wrong but I know which comment I think is correct.

Well it does seem very strange.

Can't believe the amount of people who happy to wave good bye.  He is an excellent player when fit.  But just as important him committing to us on the back of Delph having done so and hopefully Sinclair & Cleverley would really send a message to all that we are back.

I really hope he stays.

[PaulWinch again]

I definitely want him to stay.

[Matt Collins]

That reporter seems to have taken it upon himself to announce that vlaar has served notice to leave and is probably going to a champions league club

That's a big enough story to warrant at least a headline somewhere but I can see nowt. So I'm pretty sceptical

Having said that, while I want him to stay my bigger priorities are cleverley and benteke

Seems to be a few doubters to what I heard on SSN earlier so here's Koemans press conference from today...don't shoot the messenger! Questions about about Vlaar and media guy stating his agent has served notice to Villa from 5:30-6:30:

I wasn't doubting what you said.  I was doubting the accuracy of what the reporter said.

[Jon Crofts]

Vlaar MOTM today.
