Concrete Ron

[Trinitymiddle]

Missed 2 or 3 absolute sitters towards the end of the season. Martin Laursen, he aint.

[silhillvilla]

Even when he's fit, he's only good when he can be bothered. The Stoke game comes to mind.

Qpr away (0-2 loss) Ron ranks as one of the worst villa CB performances I've seen in +30 years home and away.

Always seemed to be injured on the run up to Christmas, I thought he was moonlighting as Santa in the Bullring.

With baker Clark okore Richards and even swiss Phil as disaster recovery back up we really don't need vlaar anymore. Let's say he wants 50k a week over 3 years ? That's about £8m that should be ploughed into a top flight LB or an Nzonzi type in midfield

You are right, the resources need to be spent elsewhere. We don't have a PL standard LB on our books and a powderpuff midfield which needs addressing.

Don't know how much truth there is in what I've read but the 3 English clubs interested in him are Southampton,  Newcastle and sunderland. If that is the case I wouldn't be going out and buying a new trophy cabinet if I were you Ron.

Roncrete Con. Not sure I'd want him to stay now. Part of the old guard and all that.

[Pete3206]

This is one bit of dead wood I'd like to see gone asap.

[Gareth]

Would make a proper statement to withdraw the offer, we are Aston Villa, bigger than any of its players, particularly one whose best games whilst with is we're in a national shirt.

Not fit to lace the boots of McNaught, Evans, Southgate, Ehiogu, Teale, Laursen, Mellberg etc....file under Alpay, Tiler, Ridgewell...bang average....pop a headband on him and call him the Dutch Foster

A question to all recent posters on this thread.

TS has offered RV a new contract. Based on your opinions of the player's value, do you think our new manager is out of his gourd?

[silhillvilla]

The little respect I had left for him is evaporating.

Yeah, just like Benteke, Delph, Clark...

Strange response Dave. Talking about Vlaar not Benteke etc al. Part of a pissed poor defence which needs rebuilding.

[clash city rocker]

We don't know the terms that Sherwood has offered him compared to what his present contract is. Without knowing the details it is hard to tell how desperate Sherwood is to keep him.

How is it strange? It's strange that you are saying that you wouldn't want him to stay because he is 'part of the old guard'. So presumably players like Delph and Clark who have been here longer you would also want to leave? They're part of 'the old guard' as well.
