Thanks for not signing a new contract and then being almost permanently injured. His attitude stunk at times, I'll never forget the unprofessionalism of the first goal against Stoke last season.

Coulda been another in our long line of legendary (to us, anyway) 4/5/6s. But he ain't. As I've said before, history will show that Steve Simms contributed more. Could've stayed, didn't, we'll move on, really couldn't give a toss about how you get on. Tara a bit.

Presumably it's always been his dream to play with Ravel Morrison.

Rumours has it in Italy that today he landed at Rome and that he offered himself to Lazio:
http://www.cittaceleste.it/notizie/inprimopiano/39155-mercatolive-ag-vlaar-forse-firmiamo-con-la-lazio

I am at  the Lazio summer camp now, that is beautiful as usual, as, unlike in England, fans can mix to the staff and the players in a joyous and relaxed atmosphere.
Even Morrison has been infected by the fans'enthusiasm, as he has declared in his Instagram page. . . ;D

I hope these rumours are not true, even because at Lazio we just have two Dutch central defenders, Stefan De Vrij, and the young former AZ 67 Wesley Hoedt, plus the excellent Argentinian Santiago Gentiletti, so I do not think that we need  Vlaar .:'(

P.S. Do you know which is the difference between Morrison and the Dutchs?
Morrison has been living in Rome since March and still has not learned one word in Italian ,
whereas the two Dutchs speak fluently, even Wesley Hoedt that has arrived one week ago, as he has done a course in Holland.  ;)

I would be surprised if Morrison is fluent in English. As for 'Concrete' Ron (how embarrassing does that sound now) I'm not fussed. Injured too often and wouldn't make my top ten of Villa central defenders since I started going.

Going up another step is playing for a side with Ravel Morrison in it?

The one thing I will remember about Ron is how he was never injured when there was a chance of a F.A. Cup final place

I'm quite glad he's seemingly off to a foreign club. Moving to a Southampton or a Newcastle would have been a real kick in the balls.

My memory of Vlaar will be of a slightly better than average centre-half who was injured far too often and who captained us during one of the worst periods in living memory.  Won;t be a great loss, as long as we can bring in another accomplished centre-back this summer.

A player who possibly has a higher opinion of himself than his actual abilities show. Lazio is a big club, Ravel Morrison or not. I don't blame him for leaving as it'll be a new experience for him and he only has a couple or three years left of his career with his knees, but I don't think we'll particularly miss him either.

Ravel Morrison will never cover himself in glory, Archie.
