Louis van Gaal's 5 potential January transfer targets

#2 Ron Vlaar (Aston Villa)

Tough, Strong, Dependable and the fact that Van Gaal loves him only increase speculation of his move. Lead the Netherland defense to 3rd place during the World Cup in Brazil and many believed he was to be picked up by a big club which did not happen. He understands Van Gaals philosophy and is used in the centre of the back three that the gaffer loves. Such was the impact of this philosophy, Netherlands conceeded just four goals from open play during their entire campaign which included opponents like Spain, Chile and Argentina. Vlaar was given much credit for their outstanding defensive display.

The 29 year old continues to Captain the Premier League mid tabled Aston Villa and recently shone during Manchester Uniteds visit, keeping the strikers in check and breaking their run of 6 wins. He may be avaliable for 4 million pounds, and would surely want to show his talent amongst the best in Europe.
