Nigel Posted August 21, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) I don't see how Utd is getting into the big time after last season. There's nothing to say that they may not make European football for a few years yet. Chelsea, Man City and to a lesser extent Arsenal and Liverpool are much safer bets for a chance in Europe. Yes he'll make more money and yes he's much less likely to be caught up in a relegation battle but he could potentially be finishing 7th in the league instead of 15th. Fair enough that's more comfortable but I just don't see Man United being as big a draw as they were under Ferguson. I hope he thinks like you and not everyone else!

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Just seen on SSN Koeman being asked about Andros Townsend. His reply, "I cant say anything about that". Haha either must be learning or is taking the piss 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villanwesty88 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 What if on deadline day Utd are panicking because of a lack of options and bid £15m for Vlaar. I think the board would take it and Vlaar would go. Maybe Micah Richards could be a replacement. I know he has played a lot at RB, but I'm sure he has played as a CB as well.

No to Richards as a replacement as his injury record is not good. Would accept 15m for Vlaar though. Could bring in 2 decent players with that.

thunderball Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Hard to turn down £15m on a 29 year old in the last 12 months of his contract, although I read yesterday that Lambert wants £20m. Vlaar is the Go-On-Strike sort, but would never begrudge a player a big money move to a club like Man Utd. Vlaar has only just come good, he can be replaced though. That's football. He won't go to Utd though, just can't see this happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 "I know he's in his last year but he won't be moving that's for sure." Given how cagey Lambert is that must mean that Vlaar is either going to sign a new contract or that there's some kind of agreement in place whereby Vlaar stays this season and will be allowed to leave for free next summer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted August 23, 2014 Moderator Share Posted August 23, 2014 New contract secretly signed perhaps? Not as far as I'm aware. Don't expect him to go, not sure he will sign a new deal. I can see him leaving on a Bosman next summer personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
