Feyenoord Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I can't believe you're stealing one of our players again. I could have coped with only El Ahmadi leaving but Villa are starting to piss me off. Our captain Ron Vlaar was at Villa Park today to discuss terms with your club. Negotiations between clubs will start within the next coming days. He is 27 years old, good with both feet and long range passes to wingers and strong in the air. Physically he is quite similar to Richard Dunne...not very quick when is needs to turn but okay with pace when running in a straight line. I have my doubt whether he could match up to PL strikers but he's been immense for us the past few seasons. He had a couple of very bad knee injuries in 2007 and 2008 but these problems seems to have gone. He still has 2 years left on his contract. 2004/05 AZ 3 0 Eredivisie 2005/06 AZ 7 0 Eredivisie 2005/06 Feyenoord 16 0 Eredivisie 2006/07 Feyenoord 20 1 Eredivisie 2007/08 Feyenoord 4 1 Eredivisie 2008/09 Feyenoord 0 0 Eredivisie 2009/10 Feyenoord 32 4 Eredivisie 2010/11 Feyenoord 26 2 Eredivisie 2011/12 Feyenoord 34 0 Eredivisie Total: 142 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.I.C.O. Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Can't see it being cheap as he's your captain. You can have James collins off us if you like.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withinpurple Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Not sure on this one. Yes he's been solid for most of this season, but to me he proved he's not up to the standard at the Euros. Good pass and shot on him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolteExile Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Cheers OP. Understand your frustration. As a token of goodwill. please accept any one from Hutton, Warnock, Collins and Dunne. I would say take them all, but I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody1000 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I would be really pleased if this comes off, a defender who can actually pass the ball (it's been a while!) Anything £8m or under would be great business for a Dutch international. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feyenoord Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 Can't see it being cheap as he's your captain. You can have James collins off us if you like.... He renewed his contract last year against all odds (We had one of our worst seasons ever in 2010/11) so there may be a release clause for a foreign club. Even if there isn't a release clause, I would think 5 million will deffo get accepted looking at our financial situation. If we can get 5 million pounds for him we are back to financial stability without any debts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withinpurple Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Though if we were to take a defender from Feijenoord I'd rather de Vrij, though he'd need to bulk up a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackpotForeigner Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Was hoping you'd turn up on the 'board Feyenoord. So tell us more about him, then, go on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feyenoord Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 Though if we were to take a defender from Feijenoord I'd rather de Vrij, though he'd need to bulk up a lot. He does need to bulk up but I don't think it will happen. He's been a starter now for 3 years and still a skinny guy. He is only 20 however so he could still do some work. We have another great prospect in Bruno Martins Indi who is very similar to De Vrij and also skinny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.I.C.O. Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I don't mean to tempt fate but I wonder if anyone else is in for him. After all he's an established international and club captain, and could have a release clause by what the chap said above. I'd be surprised if we were the only ones.

Withinpurple Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Within purple you also said don't take Karim who looks quality. I said I'd have him, but as backup. One game against Burton is hardly a good measure. Martins Indi does look a bit bulkier than de Vrij to be fair, but I do think de Vrij is the brighter talent (also reflected in his starts, as you said as opposed to Indi being a backup).

8pints Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 £5mil and Collins/Hutton would sound like a good deal Don't listen to what we say on here Feyenoord, Alan Hutton is brilliant...honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
