Stevo985 Posted August 27, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted August 27, 2014 Personally think Vlaar will be a united player by the end of this transfer window. I don't. It's too late. Only way I see it happening is if they offer silly money for him (which I guess is a possibility) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtysanchez Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 How is it too late? United in a crisis, LVG knows Vlaar and rates him and needs someone experienced to sort out the defence, even if it takes £10m I can see them doing it, they are over paying for everyone this summer why stop now? Obviously I hope this doesn't happen but I feel it will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BG_Villa_Fan Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Villa will absolutely snap their hands off at 10 mil, not to mention if there's a formal bid from Man U his head will likely be turned anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you there, if it is to happen I hope it's not on the last day and we don't get to spend the money on replacements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I would refuse to sell him until at least January, that way we will at least have identified a suitable replacement within the money we expect for him. Selling him this late in the window would be a **** hammer blow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are underestimating Villa here. Benteke's s head was turned was it not, we refused to do a deal with Spurs unless they matched our fee. Downing's head was turned was it not, we only accepted 20million. Young in his last season, we managed to do a deal with United at 16million. Barry we managed to do a deal with City for 12million with one year remaining. Vlaar is an important player as well as the captain, if you think 5 days before the deadline, we'd do a deal for 10million, I really do doubt it.

Sell for £10m and give Lambo £3m for a replacement that's a nice little profit for Lerner. However I don't think the Manure board will think that Ron is a 'big' enough name for them and at £10m maybe too cheap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do 3 out of 4 examples of Villa not being able to keep the player prove your point? 10 mil for a player bought for 3 with one year left on his contract would be good deal. If your valuation of Vlaar is 20 mil, then I believe you're way off. We'll know in less than a week. For the record, I don't expect Man U to be interested in him, I think he's more likely to stay, but if he's being sold to anyone I'd expect the fee to be in the 7-10 mil range.

Obviously I hope this doesn't happen but I feel it will. Because we don't have time to find a replacement, and losing Vlaar could mean relegation, and I don't think I'm being overly dramatic there. So I'd like to think Lambert/Villa would be strong enough to say no, it's too late. However, like I said, silly money makes people do silly things 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair points above I just hope he doesn't say he wants to leave and a bid comes in and the situation changes, I hope he commits to Villa I really do.

Richard Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 15M to 20M could be on the table given the utter desperate state of manure and their new manager . Not sure they are going to get a better defender want to go there without champions league football unless they break the british record again for the second time in a week. I dont think people realise just how much of a shambles they are now comparatively speaking. I would not be at all surprised if they wanted Ron they offered stupid cash 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 It would be utter madness to accept £10m at this point in time from a club who have said themselves have unlimited transfer funds and are deep in the brown stuff. He's a very important player for us. Maybe we have a replacement lined up should a suitable offer come in. Who knows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 £20m would do us good, bring in a quality defender and a top quality number 10. Still don't think it will happen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn1982 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I'd be surprised if Lambert as he did with Benteke didn't have a cutoff date for selling as he'd need time for a replacement. Luckily I think LVG is a stubborn manager and don't think last nights result will force him into buying some one he doesn't want. If he wanted Vlaar I'd have expected a move earlier as you'd imagine it'd be the easiest to do. Him not playing tonight though will fuel the flames even though his injured!

Nabby Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 It would be smart of United to buy him ..but then you look at what they have done since Fergie left and nothing seems smart about their player purchasing.They seemed obsessed with paying huge fee's on marque signings rather than building a team.

PieFacE Posted August 27, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted August 27, 2014 Can't see United buying Vlaar now. Man United weren't playing with their 3 best center backs last night. People are well over exaggerating yesterday's loss which was pretty much an under 21 team plus wellbeck, Evans and Hernandez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but apart from Benteke all those players left and suitable replacements were never brought. As you point out if the player wants to go we seem to have very fight in us these days and if Ron wants to go can't see us stopping him especaially to a club where fees are not an issue?
