if all this is true then its good to see the club keeping the eggs out of one basket...

Maybe rio is actually our new combative cm....

Played defensive mid under harry at west ham iirc

[Johnny Tightlips]

Few other clubs above us in the food chain interested in Vlaar (Everton and Spurs). Villa WILL sell.

Vlaar looked much better than he actually is at the WC, played alongside 2 other CB in a defensive Dutch team. He will get carved up playing alongside 1 CB in the prem

This is indeed a very good point - and one that was also raised by several "expert pundits" during the WC so well done for flagging it up. Do love his nickname though

quite agree...not many players tend to live up to their nickname - he certainly does!! Makes Steve McFadden look like Alan Carr!

Villa fans I know love him,always puts a shift in for them no matter what formation villa play.he would be a blinding signing,cant see it tho.Will join a bigger club like palace haha

Looks like Caulker's chauffeur got lost on the way to W12 and ended up at Selhurst Park - and so the target is now Vlar instead.

Incidentally, interesting in another report that Spurs are apparently upping Vertongen's salary from £45,000 a week to keep him. I really want Caulker but if our wages on offer - apparently a similar amount - are not enough for a far less established player then sadly it prob is time to move on....

[Fordy]

Interested in Deeney aswell, really like him. Would score goals in prem

[vanhoop]

Two good players but I'd rather vlarr than caulker.think caulkers been the decoy,Harry knows what he's doing!

And then there's Lascelles and the Chelsea loan CB, Ron, Caulker and of course Rio...... let's be honest, any decent CB who is available is going to be linked to us in the media one way or another. It's that crazy time of year, nothing to report and loads of rumours.

Not a CB but I even heard Milner the other day (twitter, natch).....
