Kanj Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Colo - Vlaar or MYM - Vlaar would be lovely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I don't think he's as good as his WC showing, in fact I'm pretty certain he isn't. But he's still better than any of our lot at dealing with the aerial stuff. Netherlands' formation/tactics and manager probably made him look better. Not to say he's crap and he's still a significant upgrade on Willo/Saylor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Would people be happy with Vlaar for 4m? Seems like a bargain to me, but I may be overreacting to WC performance. Why on earth would he be available for as little as 4m? Even if his contract is winding down. 29, Club captain and great work cup showings. Double that for starters. http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aston-villa-transfer-news-ron-7441054 Wow didn't see that, they must be mad. In that case, my point about 12m being enough for Benteke stands again! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 This is true! The second article still has merit though. I haven't much of Lacazette to comment but doesn't look like the type of player we need to play up top alone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Yeah, still need a presence up top, as we currently do not have one striker that is a strong, back to the goal, hold up player. Lassoga would have been that sort, but we didn't seal the deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haz Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Seems to be a bit of a buzz elsewhere for Andy Carrol to return. Anything in it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Seems to be a bit of a buzz elsewhere for Andy Carrol to return. Anything in it? Would surely be better options for the money he would cost. I don't think he would be fit enough to lead our line. Regardless I think he would do a great job for us again if fit. That said, playing devils advocate here is Remys injury record that much better. Obviously he is a far superior player but would Remy ever be injury free enough to score more than 10-15?

BillClinton Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 They'd want a good amount back of the 15 million they paid Liverpool for him, and his wages are allegedly pretty high. Toss in his injury problems, and I just can't see us going for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
