If Vlaar sets off for Rome now, he'll probably get there by Christmas at his current pace.

Unless we sign another centre back of any class then I don't mind Vlaar staying another season he is worth a place on the bench at least, but it would be good if we could get some decent money and move him on this summer or in January at the latest.

Ravel Morrison will never cover himself in glory, Archie.

You're probably right mate, but he costed nothing and in training shows to be a  gifted player with a cultured foot.
It depends only on him now!

It would be great if we could get some decent money for a player no longer contracted to the club.  In fact, not great, genius or even robbery.  Take your pick.

Theft, I'd say. Or possibly fraud.

This reminds me of Pires's brief sojourn with us. During one game I spotted him in the oppostion penalty area and about 10 minutes later he was in ours. I still don't know how he got there so quickly.

Looking back, it is amazing to think he actually managed to score for us, too (Pires I mean)

Take a look at that goal against Sunderland.  My abiding memory of that is, as it goes in; Gabby realises it had and the look on his face is priceless.  Total amazement.

I imagine he has the same look on his face in training when Tonev fluffs a shot and picks out the top corner.

Pires I think has the distinction of being the first World Cup winner to play for us.

I liked Ron, I think he actually gave a stuff about the club and the fans.
The last move of his career, a new experience, great city, make sense from his point of view.
With his injury record and not too infrequent clangers, we shouldn't miss  him too much.

The only way Morrison will cover himself in anything is if he gets invited to one of Berlusconi's Bunga Bunga parties.😱
