Thanks for explaining VFM! So he's a Championship Centre Forward (CF), who averages roughly 1 in 3 in the Premier League (PL) playing for very poor sides who create very little? I think that obviously we could pick up somebody for cheaper from overseas but i trust Lambert to pick players who will improve us.

The quieter things are the more likely we are to be doing some business. Don't forget, non of our new signings have been called by the media other than Vlaar and that was only cause of a photo on twitter lol!

Hmmm £6mil really? I'm sure i read it was more like £4mil, still £4mil too much mind you....

It'll be like Christmas if true! It'll be another 30k+ off the wage bill!

But this is the problem we are gambling on players who may or may not make it as prem players, we can't rely on these type of players for a whole season. Not saying some of these players won't make it, but i'd rather we had the luxury of blooding them gradually instead of putting them straight in the firing line. Trouble is, we don't. Trouble is we have a lot of these 'he's only young' players at first team level. Lambert has done well as has purchases so that next season t the young guns will only get a game on merit. I am curious to see Gary Gardner given a go - but beyond that I think we have to have more realistic expectations about our youngsters. I would be happy if Kieran Clark proves himself a top flight centre back next season. Sorry just something that is bugging me, why do you keep spelling his name as Keiran even though he has a thread showing his name is spelt Ciaran?

Trouble is I think the money has dried up. The timing of the vlaar\collins dea would suggest some restrictions are in place. I think the player who we would miss the least but in would bring in the most cash would be Nzogbia. However PL was speaking of his importance to the team this very weekend - which would suggest nothing is imminent. Ideally I would sell Nzog - £10m - buy Matt Philips for £7m - the remaining £3m (+ money from any other player sales) I would put towards a new keeper. Why in the name of God would you want to spend £3million on a new goalkeeper when it's unlikely we're going to sell Given this summer? I think we have been lucky with given in respect of form/injuries. I would prefer not to go into the season expecting that luck to hold out. Should Given get injured we have Guzan and after that Marshall/Siegrist. Our goalkeeping line up is the last thing that needs altering imo.

Probably because MON leave all his transfers til the end of the window?

I played left back for 5 years as a kid, i might give Villa a ring to see if they want to give me a game-i've got no pace whatsoever but i know how to position myself properly and not dive in unnecessarily!!!

This x 10000000000. Some people aren't happy unless they're complaining about Villa!

It's a friendly man, calm down! 3:1! still feeling calm? Chelsea just lost 3-1 to Brighton, I wonder if their fans are crying....

It's a friendly man, calm down!

Mat Kendrick ‏@MatKendrick Warnock gives the ball away, wins it back and then backheels it out of play Dear God....

Funny guy.....

What planet are you on?

Can't imagine he'd be cheap. Is his contract nearly up? Signed a new 3 year contract August 2011

Apart from the fact that i believe he's 30/31, what makes you think he'd be cheap?

Wigan have signed Ramis on a 4-year contract

Yeah it's that simple...

Can a mod please change the title of this thread before West Ham change there mind!!

You really should apply some context to your sentence before putting comments like that! I just very nearly had a heart attack as I thought WE had Darren Bent. My near heart attack was a close call but i'm afraid you now owe me some new underwear as i seem to have shat myself :evil: Sorry, should have put it in quotes Your 'sorry' isn't going to clean my underwear lol.

Vlaar Vlaar whoever you may be You came from Holland with El Ahmadi You've got a bad knee and you've got short hair But you play for the villa so we don't care Or something like that?

The Holte has been dire for a couple of years now, hopefully this season will be different.
