Saints Back In For Concrete Ron
Saints are believed to be about o make a move for free agent Ron Vlaar to replace the departed Toby Alderweireld for next season.
Saints are believed to be about to open negotiations with Ron Vlaar after missing out on former hero and now zero Toby Alderweireld.
Vlaar is of course out of contract and has left Aston Villas would be a good and cheap option for Saints,
Saints fans will be. Little worried though given Vlaar's performance at St Mary's couple of months ago but they should remember the player had had a very stop start season through injury and was in a side that only a week or to earlier had looked certs for relegation.
But Ronald Koeman had tried to sign Vlaar last summer after his great performance for Holland in the 2014 World Cup, good players do not become bad ones over night and Vlaar could bring experience and stability to the Saints defence to help them adjust to a tough season in four competitions.
Ronald Koeman knows Vlaar well from their time at Feyenoord together and will know what the man can bring to the table, it would also free up more money to be spent elsewhere.
If Saints land Vlaar it wont be a long tern signing but it coulda a crucial one in the hot term.
What to read next:
Swansea City : Joe Low latest & Harry Darling : Behind the news Swansea City will have more discussions from Monday with Wycombe Wanderers over a potential move for centre back, Joe Low. The twenty two year old seems to be the top target of the month for Swans Chairman, Andrew Coleman. There is some leverage on a Portuguese based Brazilian but that’s still in our things to do tray.
A point gained for the Swans : Allen isn’t dead Baggies ! Just over 14,600 attended this game at the Swansea.com. Take away the visitors support and around 13,000 Swans fans were allegedly at this game. Season ticket holders are always included whether there or not and the ground look very bare. If there was eleven thousand home fans at this game I would have been surprised. That’s a good few thousand who have stayed away this afternoon. And well down to what we could have expected on the last Saturday before the majority return to work on Monday.
Swansea City v West Bromwich Albion, plus Villa winger out of reach This morning we focus on a game which has lost itself to what we can call ‘football fatigue’ Especially after some of the extraordinary fall out after Luke Williams press conference yesterday afternoon. Unbelievable nonsense on one of the other websites, faceless, nameless and very obsessive.
