You will see.

If he is a full back and Lambert is signing him then he is rubbish. Not that I have seen him play, but you know....

Fixed.

I am going to boo him to within an inch of his life.

Utterly bizarre post of the highest order. The fans in the stadium will be supporting him and giving him a chance. If he does make a mistake then he's not going to be lambasted any more than any other player that makes a mistake in a football match. That's bullshit and you know it is. Course it is. Not saying it's everyone but the more vociferous will moan and groan at the first chance - at the first time he miss kicks a ball. How many times did some boo and moan just at the mention of the name of a player. How many times at the first mistake was that player lambasted. Oh! my bad - that must be their way of showing support and backing and giving them confidence. Many in the stadium might support him (wonder about the ones in the match threads on the various forums?). And before I get warned or lambasted - it is EVERY fans right to voice their feelings in whichever way they deem fit. Me - I'd rather give them 100% backing whilst they wear the Villa Shirt (be they shit, bad, indifferent or brilliant). Giving people like him confidence is not the problem. He is shit and always will be.

He has been absolute shite for 10 years, it won't change. "A fair crack of the whip or not." Even with his 6ft 3 inches and his experience, I would still have Baker and Clarke over him. He gets bullied way too much, he looks scared and lost everytime a ball is punted towards him.

Lukaku sucks.

RVP and Robben.

Senderos and Lescott the same level of player? Name me a club Senderos has played for that rates him, Wolves, Everton and even Citeh fans love Lescott. Meant they would be back up players for us. Lescott is overrated imo and I don't care what fans from other teams think? Well you should do, Fulham fans were delighted to see Senderos go, Everton not so much.

Exactly what we don't need. Brilliant.

Become being the operative word. When a quality player is available on a free (and I do believe he is quality) then you sign him. Can come in for 2 years and, along with Vlaar add real steel and experience to build on. I think having two solid defenders would breed confidence throughout the entire team. Okore will be that one day, I believe and hope but it is going to be a big ask for him next season.

I will match that offer if I can pay it off installments. 500 pages and this is still the kind of guff we have to speculate on.

Getting smashed by United constitutes as a good memory for him. What a loser.

He was one of the worst 'footballers' I have ever seen. Sure he could strike one every know and again, but so could Craig Gardner, and Holman made Gardner look like Iniesta when it came to first touch and passing abilities. Typical Mcleish tripe, will run through brick walls for you but don't ask him to pass a ball...to feet...from 5 yards away.

Slowest LB in the world.

Lukaku, flat track, one dimensional bully who doesn't do it when it counts.

Really radical concept I know, but he got better over time. So good he got farmed out to a Championship club, sat on our bench, played about 80 minutes worth of decent stuff and got released,

Let me convince you......he's much better than Albrighton...... not based on his performances at the baggies that i saw last year he's not, 29 years old and the baggies couldnt agree a £2.5m deal for him Baggies couldn't agree a deal to pay for Sherwood's backroom staff and have just signed a coach who flopped at PNE tbf. He is much better than Albrighton, he will fade in and out throughout the season but he can be a match winner. I would take him for a few mil. This is starting to get a bit tiresome. The actual Albrighton, the one who played the second half of last season, didn't fade in and out, and was in fact one of the most consistent performers in the squad. Replacing him with a 29 year old who you're already acknowledging regularly goes missing seems particularly unlikely to be an improvement. The love Albrighton has had on here the last few months is laughable. He has four or five seasons here, I can count on one hand the amount of great games he had.

On a highlight reel he is. About £4.5m too much, doesn't impact games nearly enough.

Cahill is truly the CB which got away though. Smh Should have put a buy back clause in the sale to Bolton? he went to Chelsea for £8m I think? Senderos is a small step up from Clark and Baker, though all 3 are mistake prone! Yeah if we had a buy back clause I am sure he would have chosen us over winning the Champions League

Well you have clearly airbrushed your memory of the games to suit your narrative. We played five at the back in the away game and served up a McLeish-esque performance with only one team on the pitch retaining possession and trying to win the game. At home, they were far superior to us in the first half, raping both the full-backs time and again and had the only chances. We were fortunate to go in 0-0 but no surprise that we didn't learn our lessons and were caught half asleep early in the second-half. The game was then pretty much lost so we then brought on Albrighton around the hour-mark and finished as we should've started. 'Going for it' when you have nothing to lose and the other team decide to sit on their lead is something that most teams do. Feel free to read through the match-threads which I'm sure will back up my recollection of the two matches. We had all the possession after they settled upon 2-0. Can you point out any of the chances we had before Albrighton came on? True, we made Jarvis look like Ronaldo that day. It was horrifying to say the least. Albrighton came on when Sam did his, game's won, lets put 10 men behind the ball ploy and had acres to run at them.

He was an improvement on Baker and Clarke but frankly, he was on an O'Neill contract and I thought we done well to shift him and I believe we got a little fee for him.

I'd like to think that but I think we have other concerns. We don't have someone we can rely on scoring enough goals. With benteke and kozak coming back from injuries I'll think we'll struggle to score. We have a manager who struggled last year and I worry fans will be on his back if things don't start well. And although okore will be back and we've signed senderos I don't think we're organised enough at the back. Give bent some decent supply and he will score goals as he did when young and downing were about. I think if we can get Nzogbia and Cole fit and playing we should be able to provide DB if he stays *he would have scored goals. Not sure he can anymore, Lineker could bang in a goal given the chance too, not sure I would have him up top nowadays. Probably got a quicker turn of pace tbf though.
