I think around 9th - 14th but it could vary either way, we could get a shitload of injuries and finish lower or we'll sign another couple of players and push for 7th.

Ghostbusters. Nuff said. Seriously though voted for sabbath.

I want Enter Sandman just so I can see Chris Herd staring down the away fan's, from when he exit's the tunnel until the kick-off, not blinking the whole time. Probably shit themselves.

This! This X 1,000,000

Good news. We haven't had enough of this in recent years.

That's more exciting than the AJ rumour.

This. I mean the window hasn't shut yet and the season's not begun.

I love how we don't have a goalscoring striker for ages and now we have one we want another.

I went to the Mexico vs Senegal game on Saturday and I was very impressed by him as well only problem was when he got forward he had a bit of a headless chicken feel about him. I thought the left winger was very good though. He was fast, good crosser, good passer, could beat a man and also wasn't afraid to come in and use his right foot on occasion. Still looked a bit raw but he's still young. Pape Souare I believe his name was.

Totally agree, it was embarrassing last year especially against Man U and Tottenham.

He was successful at Norwich though, so wouldn't that make his appointment at villa ambitious? IMO we have signed one of the best young hungry manager's in the country which to me is ambitious. There is still a big element of risk in Lambert. This season is a massive test for him as he does not have a very good squad to work with. We have a woefully weak defence and a very poor midfield still. That's a problem with the squad though, it would be tough for any manager that come's in. It's annoying that people have a problem with hiring manager's with potential. We cannot hire big name manager's that have won every trophy on the planet so the next best thing is to get someone with that potential.

He only came here because we play the fabled " Dutch system ". He'll be very disappointed when he finds out we don't do that anymore.

I thought Bale always played LB for Southampton. Wasn't it Harry Redknapp that turned him into a LW and only to accommodate Assou-Ekotto.

Bale shit for years? Seriously? He was poor for maybe the first year or six months I think it was whilst employed as a left back but this did not go on for years....... Actually I think he was shit for about 2, 2 1/2 year's. They didn't win a game in something like 25 game's with him in the team didn't they. Only started to shine the season they finished 4th.

No CI talking utter bollocks shocker. Shocker?

Anyone who say's Gardner is better than Wilshere is deluded but as I said before Gardner can be as good as Wilshere. Yes of course there is plenty of hype around some of these London based player's but that shouldn't mean they're crap, it just mean's they're not as good as some make out. Of course the media got a bit to overexcited when Bale scored that hatrick but imo he is a quality player who took a bit to long to make the step up. I don't think there is anyone on here who wouldn't want Bale at villa, I know I would because he's an exciting player to watch. I personally think Gardner and Wilshere will be playing next to each other for England in 3 - 5 year's.

Gardner can be AS GOOD as Wilshere but I don't think he'll be better. That's not a knock on Gardner's ability but just how good Wilshere is. I really do feel though that Gardner can be a massive player for us as he's in the same mould as Gerrard (Not comparing their ability btw). He can influence the game in many different way's in all area's of the pitch. For example DB is a great goalscorer but if other player's are having a crap game and he's not getting the service he won't do much by himself, whereas Gardner could take the game by the scruff of the neck, take the responsibility upon his shoulder's and pull the team through. Mark my word's he'll be captain one day.

Glad we've finally got Vlaar, 99.9% sure he'll be an upgrade over Collin's who surely must be off now (Probably to Sunderland). Hope he take's Warnock with him and we can buy Cresswell. Get a Winger in, maybe a striker and we're set for the season. (If we've got money to burn I'd like a CM but don't think it's necessary at this point.

FFS. You know it's bad when your competing with Reading for a player.

Just glad it's all done and dusted. Honestly couldn't care less about the minimal fee Norwich received, as other's have said it won't make up for losing a manager with Lambert's ability along with his trusted coaching staff.

Hmmm let's see, CM who likes to pass the ball and dictate games. 27 years old and singed to a 3 year contract instead of 5. Good business in my book and a huge step in the right direction both on and off the field.

I wished Wilshere was fit. He fits the bill being both young and a playmaker.

I'd keep Cole and Gerrard for one more tournament
