Seen Senderos in Mere Green this evening, pushing his kid along in a buggy. He was only using one hand too. His right forearm must be 100% fit. Not so sure about the remaining limbs.

Southampton fans must be elated to be losing Alderweireld (sp?) and getting the main keystone cop from their 6-1 mauling of Villa as a replacement.

Fuck, I hope he was being extra careful on the cracks in the pavement / going up and down kerbs, maybe let the kid do any heavy lifting.

They're probably hoping they get the world cup version.

So were we for most of the season.

Spurs away and the semi final? Other than that I'm struggling to think of proper high quality performances from him in the games I saw last season.

Vlaar is a good player and we'll find it hard to replace him.

he's a reasonable player when fit, which isn't  often

Vlaar was alright, nothing more and occasionally diabolical.

His contract expired and he was released a few weeks ago

The treatment room just won't be the same without him.

It's funny that people forget that in general throughout his time with us when Vlaar plays the defence is better. Not all the time, but generally he had a positive impact on the defence. That won't be easily or cheaply replaced.

I would assume that Micah Richards is his replacement and that he'll give the experience and stability required.

Last year he was more of a liability than anything. He played well against Tottenham and in the semi final but look at some of the other games last season - Stoke (h), Southampton (a), QPR (h and a) etc. The Okore-Clark partnership looked better a lot of time.

Its just been named after him - "The Vlaar Room".
