The facts are that we have an abundance of midfielders some whom are going to be unhappy with not getting a start every week. That's a fact.
We are in desperate need of a center half, so in general terms this would be a good trade. Vlaar has played exceptionally well for Villa and has had a good WC. He has PL experience and is in my opinion less injury prone and a better defender than both Dawson and Chiriches.
Though it may be made up tosh, the idea (like the Davies / Vorm / Siggy deal) makes sense. Those who feel that Holtby is irreplaceable in a Poch midfield are just not looking at the bigger picture sometimes. We are not a Club rich and overflowing with ready cash to buy at the very top of the player food chain and Vlaar in my opinion would be a definite upgrade on what we already have.
If proof were ever needed of that fact then anyone who witnessed the Seattle and Toronto games were all that were really needed.
