Qwpzxjor1 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) Where's Vermaalen these days? Injured or just out of favour at Arsenal? Surely he's keen for first team football with it being a World Cup year. A short term loan might benefit all 3.

villan_007 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 If you buy a player with a injury record, it is likely however good they are, they will get injured again. See also Laursen, Martin. I just hope its a little knock. He's injury record concerned he's knees - which has never once affected his time at villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackpotForeigner Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I'd rather give Donacien a chance rather than bring some other team's reject/prospect in. Donation is class. I'd like to see him start ahead of Baker, even, at least worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 We wouldn't have conceded either of those goals if Vlaar had been on the pitch. He was a rock 1st half. Did lambert not get the jump on Vlaar in the first half only for guzan to pull off a great save. He wasnt his usual concrete self in first half. I reckon he got the injury early on.

SikhInTrinity Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Think he got the injury with that slide tackle on Rodriguez or Lallana. He makes a huge difference to our side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romavillan Posted December 5, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted December 5, 2013 Hope the Concrete one is ok, any word? Haven't found anything, er, conrete, yet. Not showing on the physioroom list and a quick google turned up nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Hope the Concrete one is ok, any word? Haven't found anything, er, conrete, yet. Not showing on the physioroom list and a quick google turned up nothing. I think he has become one of the most important players in our team, and hopefully he will not be out too long. At least Clark and Baker have improved on last season, especially Clark. Baker still has his heart-stopping moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Has there been anything from the club concerning how long Vlaar will be out? Think they said they'll be a scan today so probably wait for Lambert's press conference tomorrow. Not sure we'll see him at Fulham, just hope he's o.k for Man. United. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Lescott on loan, please. We need a veteran presence back there even when Vlaar comes back. If Clark gets a knock, we're screwed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa-revolution Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Having already lost Okore all season & with Concrete Ron's dodgy calf, provision for Central Defensive cover is absolutely imperative in the January window. Vlaar is the glue in the back 3, 4 or 5 & we need him back asap to nurse Clark & Baker. Hopefully Matty Lowton can provide cover mean time with Herd as further back up. We definitely need to strengthen this area though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhInTrinity Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Honestly don't think this area needs strengthening. Maybe someone on loan in terms of injuries, but we have two players for each position when fit, and then Donacien coming through the ranks too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa-revolution Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 We need to provide replacement for Okore minimum, even if only on a loan deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted December 6, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) Loan would be fine, but I wouldn't use any of our limited ammo into buying another decent CB. Edited December 6, 2013 by AVTuco 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
