villa89 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) I wonder if we'll be able to replace him when (IMO) he leaves or is Senderos the replacement (shudder). Edited July 30, 2014 by villa89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn1982 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I wonder if we'll be able to replace him when he leaves or is Senderos the replacement (shudder). WHEN Vlaar leaves I think Senderos will be too old to be his replacement!! It's funny how most of the quotes don't mention Vlaar saying he hasn't thought about a transfer and will join up in Holland at the weekend as planned. I suppose you can spin it which ever way your mood is towards the club. Personally I think he'll stay unless LVG doesn't get his targets but hopefully by then he'll have signed a new contract anyway!

villa89 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) well fwiw i think he'll be leaving To be fair why would he stay, If I was in his shoes I'd be gone too. He might decide to see out the last year of his contract and get a bosman but he'll be 30 then so it's unlikely he'll get a huge pay out. Better off leave a sinking ship now when he's off the back of a good world cup and get one last big contract. There's no incentive for him to stay at Villa as we won't pay him big wages, we are a club that's just fighting relegation every year and there's no sign of a takeover any time soon.

jacketspuds Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I have a feeling he will be off as well. The typical response about sitting down with his agent to discuss options suggests that he is thinking about moving on. If we could get £8m for him that would be ok, as long as Lambert gets it all to spend to bring in a couple of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichiBoi11 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I think he's off and off he were to move somewhere like Man U I wouldn't hold it against him. If however he chooses to play for the 5 a side squad Southampton will be left with then my opinion of Vlaar will change massively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnbull Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) If all he's doing to keep fit is bouncing on a trampoline with his kids then he can go for all I care. Ron out, yer bouncing Dutch freak! Edited July 30, 2014 by turnbull 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 If however he chooses to play for the 5 a side squad Southampton will be left with then my opinion of Vlaar will change massively Why? Will your opinion change to think he's smarter than you originally thought. He's 29 and he has one year left on his deal. He's not going to get a big contract offer from Villa so it makes a huge amount of sense for him to go wherever he will get that big contract. There's absolutely no incentive to stay at Villa. The only reason he would stay is if other clubs offer him a smaller contract and given the situation at Villa now that's not very likely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll change because realistically this is his last chance at a big move. Money is always a factor but a 29 year old who's just been in the World Cup team of the tournament shouldn't be settling for a move like that when he knows bigger clubs will probably also be circling. Yes Southampton may throw money at him and I understand players following the money, but it'd just show a massive lack of ambition from him while his stock is high in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) He's clearly pining for a wage rise, which is fair enough. I wonder if we'll be able to replace him when he leaves or is Senderos the replacement (shudder). Can you tell us who is replacement will be as well?

AVTuco Posted July 30, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted July 30, 2014 The thing is if he stays till the end of his contract I think he loses out. Another year playing for a team that will under perform and let in lots of goals will make people soon forget about those world cup performances. I think his best chance at a big pay day is a move this summer and I'd be very surprised if he doesn't want to leave. I think you're onto something here. I buy your argument that his best bet is to cash in now. However, there's two ways of cashing in now. One is to leave, IF he gets a great offer. Second one is to stay here and sign, IF we make a good offer. It probably comes down to winning, security, comfortability (if he's liked it here), and possibly the lenght of the deal. Without knowing what we offer and what another team offers, it's impossible to conclude what he'll do. It's not clear at all that he leaves, that's for sure.

dudevillaisnice Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 tbh if you were ron would you want to come back? The amount of desperate defending he had to do at times last season because he was alongside the chucklebrothers had him having to play at a million miles an hour No wonder he was picking up so many niggles i think in a quality side with decent players round him he would enjoy his football more and probably get a payrise as well Fair point.
