SikhInTrinity Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Just because he is out of contract doesn't mean we have to give him away. Teams can want all they want but they still need to offer enough money for us to say yes. We could just get the extra year out of him, help us stay up. Who knows what the situation will be at VP in a years time Gareth Barry 12million and Ashley Young 16M with 12months remaining. All depends how much you value that player for one season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 For ****'s sake let's sort his bloody contract out, eh VIlla? I'm not sure Lambert has enough funds to be able to do that and sign other players. But if he sells Vlaar it may give him extra spending power As I said earlier Au Re Vlaar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post VillaChris Posted July 10, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2014 Ron Vlaar reached top speed of 33 km/h according to FIFA live statistics, which makes him the 7th fastest football player in the world 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 We will struggle to keep him now...plenty of sides will be looking for an experience CB costing less than 10m. To me he looks better value for Man. United than someone like Vermaelean who is even more injury prone. With 1 year left on his deal we're sitting ducks really if clubs start enquiring. He does have his faults and picks up too many injuries but you'd see his real quality in a proper defence. Stick him in the 07/08 or 09/10 defences instead of Knight or Collins and he'd be ranked a lot higher in the villa defender lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nath_s91 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Fair play to him for stepping up, 2 players refused to take the 1st one apparently 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parisvilla Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Does anyone know if Vlaar has ever taken a penalty before last night? And secondly, does anyone know of any players to have taken a pen for the first time in an international shoot out and scored? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrinityRoadSteps Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I think Ron was too rushed in taking the penalty. I don't know if it was just the the excitement of what was happening or what but if he had just taken a moment to take Messi out of his pocket first I think he would have had a better chance of scoring the pen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transfermarkt used to have all the stats like that if you google "Vlaar Transfermarkt Penalty" but since their facelift they all seem to 404.

AValon Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Terrific World Cup for him and possibly the stand-out defender of the tournament. Where we stand in all this is irrelevant. Once the big money talks, he'll walk. I jut hope Lambert spends the loot before Lerner gets his mitts on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanO Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 FFS he's average at best, granted he is the best of a the bad bunch we have but if a club wants to spend 10m on him then Lambert would be mad to pass it up. Sorry but I don't rate him at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanO Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 No need to argue or get upset this is just my opinion and I expect to be in the minority over my view of Vlaar but can anyone truly say that if Lambert were offered 10m that he shouldn't sell? If anyone thinks he is the difference between relegation and survival then they are dreaming, he is just one player. The whole squad needs a revamp which 10m would go some way towards.

briny_ear Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 So two Dutch players refused to take the first penalty & concrete Ron stepped up to the plate. Wouldn't expect anything less from him. If he leaves us this summer I won't begrudge him the chance to play with better players. He deserves it. This world cup has shown how good he can be when playing alonside a few decent defenders raher than constantly trying to bail out the sinking ship of the Villa defence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panto_Villan Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I've always really liked Vlaar both as a player and a person (from what I've seen of him rather than direct personal experience) and I was gutted when he missed that penalty. I really hope we keep hold of him, but I wouldn't begrudge him moving on if an offer came in for him...although I think we'd miss him a lot.

Edit - I know his stats are warped by playing against jokers like Messi, Aguero, Lavezzi and Higuain but even if he was playing against someone half decent he'd have done better than AVERAGE IMHO.
