He has been injured so many times we have never had a settled centre half pairing, so off you go then Ron on your step up, sideways or down and thanks.

If Clark, Okore and Baker were fit, Vlaar wouldn't get in my Villa team.
He can go.
And let's get a younger, fitter CB in the squad.

If clubs weren't queuing up to buy him after the WC I can't see them doing it after another injury-blighted season!
As someone mentioned earlier, Boro would be a good fit.
That's them from Teesside, not Nuneaton.
Then again.....

When all fit, I think Vlaar and Clark is/was our strongest pairing

Everton are looking for a centre half, perhaps he can step up to them.

We have been 'mostly better' with him in the side, but he's never in the side often enough. He's only likely to get slower & more injury prone. Not worth the hassle.

Agreed, another poor call from Sherwood it seems. As for Chris Herd, the mind truly boggles!!

Regardless of whether he'd stayed or fakked off we still needed to buy a CH. I'm not too bothered. Ron seemed a good guy but as a skipper and a player was more often than not a disappointment and a liability because of his injuries.

We need a good CH who can play at least 30 games a season at 100%

Think he's gone off with Nigel Reo Coker syndrome.

Thanks ron, you made me appreciate what we had, close the door behind you.

my ultimate memory of ron, was the last minute at home to stoke city, where was his experience then.  no I think he should go and further his career.

Couldn't agree with you more supertom...and the "good CH" would have knocked Ron down the pecking order.
He may as well go and make that "step up" with a top top club.

They've announced at least three times on 5Live that Vlaar is on the FA's list of players out of contract and available, alongside a number of others, obviously.
