it was only idle speculation that they ran out on the 1st on our part. the likelihood is that they always have a year left Surely the fact that PL hasn't bought anyone else in says something about the situation? surely the fact that neither of them have joined villa post july 1st says more Assuming July 1st was indeed the day they were able to make the move? just we get something sorted in 3 days...latest will be by USA trip in 15days

Players return to training on Thursday and we still have no proper backroom staff... i know not much to worry about yet but would be hoping to get the house sorted.

i cannot wait till i see him out there in claret n blue or lime green lol he is a work horse in the very similar mould of James Milner

hopefully mate but we all need to be realistic and know it's not going to be a quick fix, i'm sure next season will start to see the true lambert team! a lot of deadwood will still need to be off loaded...and not many clubs will look at our players due to last season's form! however Lambert may get the best out of everyone and we could have the new Cafu lol or next Maldini haha ok maybe not that much... i can not wait till the start of the season...most excited i've been in years

We don't need the scouts for now! Lambert gave Faulkner a list of players he wants and were working on this list...new scouts will then be settled in and ready for Jan or next Summer forgot to say El Ahmadi WAS one of the players on Lamberts list, this has been said by Lambert himself, think it was Brum Mail who said it.

google translate? does that mean welcome Karim?

it has to be Bent! was very excited with that signing but i remember when we signed Carbone i bought my very 1st own villa top that year 1999 i think and had his name on the back! couldn't believe he left after 1 season to go to Bradford City though! other then those 2 i remember being excited about Angel, Baros, Collymore and a weird one was Joachim no idea but i thought he was going to be brilliant

James Nursey ‏@JamesNursey expect Culverhouse/Karsa to be @ #AVFC for pre-season. #NCFC holding out for as much compo as poss as got nowt for Lambert yet

He also said his back was turned for 5 mins whilst baby sitting and heard this news. Could be filling space with the Makoun link - speculation he has now deleted the Makoun tweet Matkendrick has just pm'd me and said regards Makoun Adam maybe i should of said presumably, surely stick to follow I’m sure

Ha ha i'd agree until i seen Fabian Delph!

just in from our twitter friend... INCOGNITO AVFC ‏@INCOGNITOAVFC We certainly need a little dutch courage from time to time..Exert effort, you shall be rewarded #avfc ps he has been spot on with everything he has said so far but he's always cryptic!

Pete Colley. A Villa fan and top banana. yes that's the one! i chatted to him on sky outside Villa park in Jan and he asked who i would like to see at Villa (jan transfer)! at the time i think i said David Villa! and don't laugh at the time we were linked with him in papers haha

new top came today! absolutely love it however a little snug for a XL so much so that my Mrs has put me on a strict diet!! Thanks very much Macron... but in honesty do LOVE it!

all talk coming from villa is £20m plus any transfers! has been said by Mat Kendrick, by Timothy Abraham, by James Nursey and now recently the midlands press reporter for sky (the one with ginger hair lol) sell 2 or 3 players so maybe total spend of £26m to £30m

i don't know who is the bigger arse at the moment McNally or Whelan!!! you can slate Faulkner off as much as you like but he stays quite! Keeps out the press and a lot lately GETS THE JOB DONE! i find that with Norwich (who i do really like) and Wigan (who i don't) that they have small club syndrome! the owners or chairman can keep spouting their mouth of but really they are just a small club in a big pond! a very big pond! however i do wish Norwich a good season and i'm sure mid table could very well happen for them if they keep hold of their players! just hope 2nd season syndrome does not kick in... i have no doubts at all that Culverhouse and Karsa will be at villa IF that's IF lAMBERT WANTS THEM!!! He may well think time for a change and that's why he hasn't been intouch however i honestly believe that the wheels are already in motion!! even the Norwich fan James Nursey said it's just a matter of time... on another note INCOGNITO has shown up again on twitter i see.. INCOGNITO AVFC ‏@INCOGNITOAVFC The new era starts here at AVFC .We have a man who knows what he wants, & has already outlined his intentions and meticulous plans. #avfc Expand 29m INCOGNITO AVFC INCOGNITO AVFC ‏@INCOGNITOAVFC Plz be patient #AVFC fans. Wheels are already in motion 4 reshaping of the squad. There will be reinforcements 2 fortify a new team direction. maybe Faulkner bored while on holiday lol???

I’m never one to panic but don't the players return in 2 weeks?? I’d be hoping Lambert would have his house ready by now! Will start panicking by next week lol

Still no news on his backroom staff yet? suppose still 3 weeks till players return to training! pleanty of time to get his house in order.

this is MatKendricks view on it all.... he is by MM's word one of the most ITK's around... Aston Villa await decisions on backroom staff Aston Villa will await with interest developments over the futures of Paul Lambert’s trusted backroom staff at Norwich. Euro 2012 Betting Odds - Bet at Blue Square Lambert would like to bring coaches and close confidants Ian Culverhouse and Gary Karsa with him to Bodymoor Heath. But he is relaxed about the situation, providing his support team is in place in good time for pre-season on July 5. Much could depend on what happens with the Canaries, where former Blues boss Chris Hughton was named as Lambert’s successor yesterday. Hughton has taken his own staff to Carrow Road, including assistant Colin Calderwood, first-team coach Paul Trollope and chief scout Ewan Chester. Norwich must now decide the futures of Culverhouse and Karsa, who were Lambert’s assistant and head of football operations respectively at the Canaries, having previously worked with him at Wycombe and Colchester. Villa’s backroom team consists of first team coaches Gordon Cowans and Kevin MacDonald, goalkeeping coach Terry Gennoe, fitness coach Adrian Lamb, chief scout Paul Montgomery and chief medical officer Dr Ian McGuinness. Lambert will meet his staff over the next week as well as moving from his home in East Anglia to the Midlands, with the new manager intent on wasting no time stamping his mark on the club.

been informed by James Nursey (who has connections down norfolk) that Ian Culverhouse has not expressed any desire to leave Norwich as no other option has come in for him yet! also he IS on a rolling contract that expires on 17th August NOT 01st July...no idea on Karsa though.. i asked James does he think he will come and he responded would be shocked if he stayed at Norwich. I think it's just time now! let Lambert dig his feet in get used to the club for a few days then after that evaluate who he wants! we are 1 man down as Peter Grant left with "him" just a waiting game then!

how do you know m8? i got it... James Nursey ‏@JamesNursey Told yesterday at #AVFC that Bent won't be sold, that Lambo backs himself to get N'Zogbia going and that Makoun coming back for new chance thanks mate

how do you know m8?

this just tweeted from James Nursey James Nursey ‏@JamesNursey @MirrorFootball #BCFC given Chris Hughton permission to speak to #NCFC and terms agreed. Set to take Calderwood and Trollope too. Expand so this should mean Culverhouse and Karsa will be at Villa soon!

Very interesting from Twitter account Incognito last night, He puts loads of tweets up regarding the situation with Lambert then he deleted his account! Could he of been a real ITK This is what he put….b4 deleted… Interesting tweets posted and deleted by @INCOGNITOAVFC #avfc pic.twitter.com/SoUktb4I — Nick D (@nickdes) June 2, 2012 I really hope some movement’s today guys... it's classed as normal day today isn't it...surely negotiations will be on-going and maybe an announcement could be made today.
