what if it were off peak hours and no bank holidays or weekends in the gym, with a £25 direct debit coming out on the first of the month for a guaranteed 6 month contract

I reckon he'd go for that

The deal could fall apart over over whether aquafit and insanity sessions were included in the monthly subscription.

Surely that's a prerequisite for joining us 😃

Has Vlaar formally turned down our contract offer? Did the club set a decision date? Sounds like Vlaar used or is using Villa as a last resort. Looks like his decision has backfired somewhat. I say move on and sign a younger more reliable defender.

I won't be gutted if we don't see him again which sort of says it all. I feel like it's been just long enough post World Cup for folk to realise he's not the player he looked like. Guess that was the gamble for him.

that double fumble at the end of the Stoke game is the worst bit of defending from an individual I reckon I have ever seen

It was dreadful, but I reckon Curtis Davies' comedy attempt at a header against Wigan was the most inept bit of defending I've seen.

How about his clearance towards the corner flag?

That's the one that led directly to our exit out of Europe?

That my choice too, as soon as he did it you knew it would fuck us.

Stop it, I'm having Vietnam style flashbacks now.

I think we should let Ron use our training ground to help his recovery but don't pay him as he is out of contract. So if we got injures crisis in November (For debate sake) We could offer him a contract until end of season if needed.

But I think Ron will use one of the Dutch club instead, with an eye on moving to Southampton.

He'll go back to Feyenoord and use their facilities I'd guess.

If that's the one I think it is, that's one of the funniest things I've seen in a football match for years (looks up, sees ball coming down from sky, positions self carefully, watches ball bounce about 20 feet behind him?)/

Also, I forget the match but there was one where our keeper at the time, Friedel probably, played the ball out to Richard Dunne, who was probably the only other player in our half, who then decided to pass it back to Friedel, only for it to practically brush the corner flag on the way out for a corner.

There was also a moment against - I think Southampton - where he put in the most inexplicable bit of defending for one of their goals. Chased the player back into our box, suddenly just decided no to bother chasing any more.
