HeyAnty

Doesnt sound like a hungry player if you ask me going to Al Jazeera. HIs first question in talks is probably how much will you give me which Lambert has said he despises

It's not 45 quid. It's about 6... I order stuff from the official shop regularly at the end of the season and it costs a pittanceMainland uk its 6quid. Everywhere else is crazy. 16 quid to nireland. 45 to america. Must have its only private plane or something Now down to 12 quid for n ireland and channel islands from yesterday. Must have been nobody buying from these places, still a crazy price Looking at my receipt here, shipping to Canada was just over £6 Shipping: 6.95 GBP That's not just over £6. If anything, it's nearer £7 Things have changed. New website new postage fees by looks of it.

Wait to he has to pay 45 quid for postage for a villa top. And when you say yeah its canada then why is it 16 quid to all parts of ireland north and south. Could nearly get a flight over from there to get one as cheap. We are trying to encourage fans all over the world not rip them off.

While he is good i think he is very overated. Be very surprised if he stands out in the premership

Is he the one who has just scored a hat trick for Uruguay ? Yes, against the mighty Tahiti. Sign him up

All the ones saying signing Barry would be a great signing? I thought it was totally clear what Lamberts and Villas plans are and which everyone is so optimistic about. Signing a 32 year old on high wages and past his best is a jump back to the dark old days. Do you all want to go back to that and continue to have players on massive contracts who we cant get shot of.

Nope and nope. Days of signing peoples cast offs are gone thankfully

Smell the coffeee - the world cup is probably well down his list of priorities - and a transfer away doesn't automatically exclude him from the world cup anyway - its not as if Belguim and fancied to win it either - so your probably talking about 4 games. - set that against the champions league and perhaps 4 times the salary .......(what would you do) Don't think Lerner will need to intervene here - If Bentekke wants to he can force the move - contract or no contract. Lambert won't wan't an uhappy player hanging around. The Lerner\Lambert conflict may come if Lambo doesn't get to reinvest the whole fee received (but I doubt it TBH). If the bigs don't come - he will stay - if they do - he won't IMO Have you seen the Belgian team? They're quality and are massive dark horses for the World Cup Ive actually a big bet on them at 40-1

He doesn't bring anything different, he has one good game in every ten he plays, enough is enough of these players sitting on a nice wedge not giving their all. He wasn't but I believe a few clubs were after him and at the time we signed him we were throwing big wages at players I'd expect him to be 50k+ easy mate. Well he's very direct and he does have a bit of quality (just no brain). Very frustrating player but, as I say, a good option from the bench IMO. For example, that vital 3 points against Stoke, Lowton's screamer doesn't happen if N'Zogbia doesn't come on, beat a man and get a decent shot in to force the corner. Biggest goal of season, free kick v West Ham.

Why is everyone going mad on twitter regarding CB tonight? Has he came and said he wants to leave or something?

I suspect Lambert will decide this based on who performs better during preseason.Why not on the bases on how Bennett performed last season? Because Luna may turn out to be even worse! He might, but you got to go with what you currently know. Besides it would be hard for him to be any worse than Bennette was last year.

Reason being is that Lambert might have thought we didnt have the personel to play it last year after we proved awful when we did play it. He might now think we have got the players in to play it. I for one hope we dont go back to this formation.

Get a grib. Bentekke has serious potential, Westwood has good potential. When compared to these guys he does not have serious potential. The guy cannot defend and we have ones on here now trying to defend him saying he is a winger. Nani is a winger, Ox Chamberlin is a winger. Bennet is not a winger. Really annoys me. If Bennett wasnt English he would be the butt of jokes like Bannan

This is pretty much where I'm at right now too. Though I'd be more inclined to tell him he's staying for another year regardless just to show the other players that we won't be held to ransom Yes my point exactly. Promise him a move next season on the QT at the right price. That way both sides win

It looks like he isnt going to sign a new contract anytime soon. Interested teams wont start annoying us for him untill the end of july IMO. If i was Villa id let him wait untill next summer for a move. Its more of a point than anything else to other clubs and our players. We are taking risks getting all these young players in with potential. They cant think once they have 1 good season they can leave and likewise big clubs cant think we are a pushover. There is more at stake here than Bentekke. Its the complete ethus of what we are trying to build.

IMO we will be a mid table club next season. I dont think we should get carried away on our expectations for next season. This is going to take at least 3 years before we can compete for a top 6 spot. But the important thing is that we have a plan to get there, unlike in the past where we just sleep wandered from one season to the next.

My mate who is a Liverpool fan and hates Villa was saying to me yesterday that Villa are a very good club to go to at the moment for anyone with potential. Seems to think that when we are competiting with other clubs our level, a player will choose us every time because of the plan Lambert has in place. I was very impressed as he never has nothing good to say about Villa.

Is Bannan off somewhere, anyone hear anything tonight?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2340472/Aston-Villa-4m-bid-Jores-Okore-accepted-close-Nicklas-Helenius.html Yes hes on his way get in there 4 mill a snip

When do we stop signing wingers and forwards and start looking at the defence. Not that im complaining about Bacuna. Saw him playing once and was excellent

Come on guys, who actually buys goal keeper shirts. Just the crazy kid in the playground

I'm disappointed, size of the sponsor is massive. Suppose beggers cant be choosers.

Nothing on their main forum, so where are these big rumours? There is some proof for you BIG rumors question all be it the telegraph are 2 days later than my post. It’s just a pity people can't post on here with some little info they hear without getting sarcastic responses. It’s no wonder people who do hear wee bits of things that prove to be true or even untrue are all being driven away. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/aston-villa/10114171/Newcastle-United-manager-Alan-Pardew-ready-to-make-cut-price-offer-for-Aston-Villa-striker-Darren-Bent.html
