I'm still pretty certain he has signed a new villa deal, but in reply to the above; if vlaar comes in I would fully expect our starting pair to be gardos and vlaar with Fonte as back up. Purely based on the amount that Koeman has been praising him.

I'd expect it to be Vlaar and Fonte. Fonte has just been given a new contract and made captain, as well as being fresh off a really good PL season. He won't be chucked aside.

If we are after another cb plz make it Dijk and not Vlaar.
 
And knows Forster.

Yeah, don't get me wrong i like Vlaar. In a word he's solid which is a good thing to have in a defender but when looking at the 2 players its clear that van dijk is more suited to us
- Knows Forster
- Knows and is keen to work with Koeman
- Younger
- While not a speeding bullet he's quicker than Vlaar and (i think) Gardos too
- NT experience and a feasible goal threat from set pieces like ol Ron'
 
Crook tweeted that from the embargoed part of the press conference, Vlaar is no longer a target.

edit: reason being the signing of Gardos. don't know if that's just Crook's opinion.

No looks like Ron said it after the live bit finished. Was on our list but now we have Gardos.
 
Yoshida really isn't THAT bad for a 3rd choice for a lower mid table team like us. Would like to see us either sign a young CB with potential who can replace Jos or use one of the youth (Stephens maybe) as 4th choice and let Jos go
