Aston Villa have announced that they have offered Ron Vlaar a new contract to stay at the club. Bent and Stevens were among the first team players who were released yesterday with Herd given a second chance to impress Sherwood in pre-season. However Vlaar has stated:
“I want to maximise my career and I think I can go a step higher.
“I will look at it and go quietly.”
He appears to highlight the fact that he believes that he can play for a better club than Aston Villa and is keeping his options open prior to signing a new contract at Aston Villa. Vlaar joined Villa in 2012 and since then has consistently featured in Aston Villa’s defence. It appears as though Sherwood is monitoring the situation with Pogba’s brother Florentin Pogba who plays as a centre-back for Saint-Étienne.
However losing Vlaar would be a blow with Cleverly deciding to jump ship to Everton and Benteke’s future still hanging in the balance.
It appears as though Villa’s defence will have a shake up, with Senderos and reportedly Baker not being wanted by Sherwood as the club prepares for a load of sales. I’d personally like to see Vlaar stay for another season or two, simply because he adds stability to the back-four despite what other fans may think, I genuinely believe that Vlaar makes our defence stronger.
There are reports Viaar got injured again at the Dutch training camp calf injury.
Just leave him there then.
Shit does this mean that he is not going
I don’t think this would stop Besiktas from signing him.
Hope not at least he will keep their physios in a job
Villa having Intuit as shirt sponsor doesnt seem too bad. Hope they still keep accorns on kids ones though. Looks good on the claret and blue though I must say. I’ve been using this software for about fifteen years now so I like it but as has been said earlier, I’m more interested in who will and won’t be wearing them come August.
Vlaar leaving, Pogba coming in. Would be a good turn around for Villa. At least a start. Him moving to Besiktas would be fascinating as hell but wouldn’t surprise me.

Bobby Ewing lol
We’d get J.R.
More like cliff barnes the perrenial loser
B’ham Mail is suggesting the mystery buyer may be Micky Arison, chairman of Carnival Corporation the world’s largest operator of cruises.
Looks like plain sailing then.
Or we could sink like the titanic 🙂
Ooha you could be on the right lines his company owned the Costa Concordia MATE.
Lol
Funny thing is and I know people are sick and tired of him, but Incognito is of course back, and he claimed it was Arison a couple days ago.
Or he could keep the club afloat.
Even Lerner kept us afloat we want a lot more than that ffs
Well we’ve got Captain Tim on board but we need a new crew. Anyone not rowing in the same direction should be chucked overboard (Ron this means you). We’ve been in the doldrums far too long so hopefully this season its full speed ahead and we’ll put some shots across the bows of our opponents (and hopefully in their nets).
🙂
Get him in I’m on a Cruise next month, might get some money back as a fan. We are sailing we are sailing, far across the sea then the top of the league? Don’t rhyme that.
According to the Turkish media, Vlaar has rejected Besiktas move.
SHITE really?????
He must be bonkers, what other team would take a lame goat.?
Wants to stay in the Prem. Can’t completely blame him for that, can you?
Lol seriously that guy is deluded he should be paying them ffs. Hope we don’t keep him that would be a disaster.
Villa now offering a better contract to Benteke. If he stays I think it will only be because of the calibre of players that Tim is hoping to get on board so could be good news.
If he goes we still get a shed load of money but nice to see Villa trying to hang on to him.
The only reason he would stay is he dosnt really want to to Liverpool and arsenal and Chelsea probably won’t bid for him. Oh yes we will pay him even more money to spend half the season on the treatment table!!
Where that news from Pat57? Hope its genuine it would be bloody good if true, start with him and work backwards to goalkeeper, I’d be happy mate.
Fox was talking on sky sports news. He said Benteke has 2 years left on his contract and I am pretty certain he will be with us next season. Strong words.
Well 1st we have to replace Fox and Sherwood……

Interesting dosnt sound hopeful
Not too worried as any new buyer would be daft to replace the CEO and manager just before a new season. I’d expect them to give both Fox and Sherwood a season at least.
Based on a new owner possibly having their own ideas of who they want. Fox knows he and Sherwood aren’t safe but come on… It’s very, very likely Fox will be there, and Sherwood most likely.
That article is just hot air and speculation. Shouldn’t read owt into it…I liked the Tom Fox interview earlier. Seems to have Villa’s interests at heart. A new owner would be mental to ditch Fox. The worry is, there are quite a few mentalist owners out there!
Sky Sports News claims Vlaar’s been released. Doesn’t mean we won’t retry signing him, just that… He’s been released so far.
What’s the point of releasing him to then ‘re-sign him never ever heard that before maybe I’m reading your post wrong or need a drink????hmmmm
Wasn’t that what we did with Guzan a couple of years ago?
Vlaar is waiting to see if anything better happens if not he knows he’s got us idiots waiting to resign him!! The club is a joke
Guzan was released by McCleish then resigned by Lambert.
Because if we resign him we can do so on our own terms. I wouldn’t want that useless twat if he was free tbh totally useless
