Andy Van Shandy has a another year on his contract expires the summer of 2009.

Incidently so does Nuno's.

I know VDM did but Bluelass will be in seventh heaven if her swarthy little man is staying, she adores Nuno.

The club must pay the prick VDM off or someone shoot him

It breaks my heart to see old players on their haunches, EG Gordon West when that [Poor language removed] is living in luxury getting paid per week more than they got in a season and what for, sweet fa

It pretty amazing a player who could be not playing for the first team at all throughout the season, whenever a chance arise he seems to have hurt himself or came down with some sort of illness.

Can't believe they are getting paid so much money to do nothing, he earn much more than most people out there would ever made and from doing nothing is disgusting.

It's annoying we know he could be a good player and we know he has been in the past but it just he never try no more, goodness me I don't even know if any team would want him any way, always not available for selection, i would be interested to see if anyone interested in the summer or when his contract ends with us.

The sad fact is Dev you can't give the prick away. I was told he was off to Holland on loan in the January window, guess what he was injured

He should come to the MLS!

Exactly, what are we going to do?

Well said and sums up all that is wrong with todays game,the mans a waster and should never have been signed simple as that.

He'll come good once Riquelme signs up.

You'd think clubs would learn now with injury prone players and have some sort of pay as you play basis in the contract, especially if a player is making no appearances for the season. When was the last time we saw AVM in a blue shirt?

Funny how we shipped back the other guy to fiorentina (the name has escaped me but you know the one) yet Moyes has stuck with VDM, surely some team in world football is willing to give him a go? Or are we the only team in the world willing to give him a go?

In defence of Andy Van, dude makes a mean cocktail.

Trouble is though he drinks it all before you get a glass full from him

Per Kroldrup, secured against Champions league money I believe. He is supposed to be doing quite well for fiorentina and generally an reliable defender. His heading was no worse then Yobo's. Once we got knocked out from the CL I think we genuinely couldn't afford to keep him on the books and was looking to make up what we lost on him.

Andy Van Der Meyde however is a waster no match fitness always injured and will demand 25k a week where ever he will go, Kroldrup wasn't and was match fit. So there is a little more risk involved when clubs look at VDM, all the Dutch loans we were hearing about (Feyenoord et al) all pulled out. Probably due to how big a risk he actually is.

Something tells me VDM will have to take a huge drop in wages to get anywhere near top flight football in any division.

There lies the problem why would he take a massive drop in salary to establish himself at a new club when he could potentialy sit on his big contract with us i wouldnt imagine moral fibre is his best attribute, having said that he does like dogs.
