Keep taking the happy pills Dave. Vlaar thread. Not Clark, not Benteke.

So him being part of an 'old guard' has nothing to do with it then? Just something that you've not really thought through?

He's old but not much of a guard. I'd personally drive him to Sunderland .

Dunno about that, it's a long way. I'd want some petrol money out of him.

I'd rather he stayed. We're under a period of exclusivity, we're hardly hurling money around and we have a lot of work to do on our squad. We really don't need useful players to be leaving.

True, plus he's gonna weigh the car down a fair bit so add extra fuel for lack of economy

1. Have you ever driven one of those little blue invalid cars before?
2. Can two people fit in one of them?
3. Wouldn't you need to recharge the battery at some point?

I agree.  I think it was Dave W agreeing with another poster (sorry I can't remember who) who made the point that by getting rid he still has to be replaced, and that is going to cost money; even if it is only going to be as a back up.

He really hasn't Dave.

Those driving him to Sunderland you'll at least be able to park where you want with his badge.

Ron must be disappointed that despite announcing his intention to "do better than Villa" no one has laced his palms with wads of cash so far!

Various papers quoting him as saying he doesn't know where he'll be next. Which sums up most of his performances last season.

Or maybe a part of him wants to stay because he actually likes the club and his young family is settled in the area, and another part of him wants to move and take his career as far as possible. It's not a completely unfamiliar position for anyone in any industry when faced with a change of company or a relocation opportunity.

Except that whatever he does, he'll end up rolling in money and his family is set for life
