He can be assistant at VIlla, Stay on with Ireland and still work for ITV. He didnt want the Celtic job as he didnt want to take a pay cut I am pretty sure that was tongue in cheek.

Well giving Lambert £25m is not a guarantee of staying up. He's had £40m over the past 2 seasons and only just kept us up? Better off sacking Lambert and bringing in proper manager! And which "proper" managers would want to come here with all the uncertainty over the ownership? One's better than Lambert? Plenty! But when the takeover get's sorted any sane new owner will make their first job sacking Lambert! The man embodies all that is wrong about the Lerner years! Any names?

Both utterly horrible players. Would rather chuck in an U-14 player that sign these clowns.

This is Villa Talk so what do you expect. The reaction would probably be the same if we were getting Messi on a free. No, it wouldn't.

One of the worst centre backs I have ever seen. The fact he may be slightly better than Baker is a moot point.

Paying off another manager and bringing in another manager with other ideas to embark an another rebuilding job is not the answer IMO. Unless we get a takeover, and money to spend, and then by all means sack him!

I am pretty sure Jack Colback has never played right midfield in his life. LB,LM and CM.

Nah, he is awful. Almost certainly better than Baker but still awful all the same. We need to improve on certain players significantly. So no to Ridgewell, no to Collison, no to Colback and no to any other average english guff.

United won't be calling, he is not united quality. Why not invest £25m? There comes a time when you have to cut your losses and cut your cloth accordingly, you can't keep saying "invest another £25m, just another £25m...."

Why would he do that? He's not investing anything more himself, if we're not bought out, we'll probably go down next season and he'll be losing Delph/Vlaar/Agbag for nothing next summer. Why not take £5/6m now? Of course, Lerner is looking to sell a PL club for hundreds of millions of pounds, what better way to ensure our status in the PL and market value, that sell one of our most important players and captain for a few million? Vlaar will be going nowhere.

well Moyes didn't seem to know how to deal with him or how to play him and kept loaning him out Nothing to do with him breaking his leg just when he was breaking through and struggling to get back to where he was then?

Not really, it doesn't state how many tackles he has made, just the success rate of those he did.

Kyle Walker is a way more rounded footballer than Bacuna. Walker has his deficiencies as a defender but to compare him to Bacuna is laughable. Just bumping this for you rodders, your hawkeye scouting eyes seem to have missed it on the other page. Surely such a poor defender shouldn't have this stat next to them? Good stat to have but misleading, most the time he is not even in a position to get a tackle in at RB. He has no sense of positional play or awareness what so ever to play that role.

This...but also : 2 fullbacks that can defend. 1 CB who can defend. 2 Midfielders who can tackle, get about the pitch and have composure on the ball. 1 Midfielder who can create, pass over 5 yards and bag a goal. Two wingers/forwards who can score and create a goal. We only need 8 players.

Do you have any idea the kind of mental and physical effort a sportsman has to go through to come back from injuries, yet alone cruciates? Must be nice to sit on your fat arse and have no idea. ,

I am going to guess that he won't get called up because he is a poor footballer playing in an awful team, he doesn't have a position nailed down, his touch, passing and ability in the centre of midfield are atrocious, his defensive capabilities, his awareness and his intelligence playing at right back are laughable. I wouldn't trust him in any system. There are dozens of Bacuna's playing in the Eredivisie. Ten a penny athletic footballers with no football brain. He is awful and a few goals doesn't not change that.

I can, I can fault his touch, his fitness, his mobility, his work rate, his goalscoring record, his touches to minutes ratio, his hold up play.Just to name a few. He was the best we could get though in the short term so I don't know the fuss. Come and gone, move on.

Went walkabout on the trip to Portugal, met a girl, didn't come back. Good riddance.

Not good enough for top 6, but good enough for lower mid-table, I would say. In the Championship? Proven time and time again he is not a PL player. He proved he is a Premier League player most of last season. Players will have a bad year, it happens. A virtual ever present in a team that conceded 69 goals? He didn't like.

Has had to with those fannies Clark and Baker ducking out of everything.

The difference being someone snapped Aaron and the photo was leaked to a newspaper iirc. He didn't post it up laughing , showing full well he doesn't give a shite about results or performances. Here is to another relagation battle next year Andi with that attitude. I'm not sure whether I should react to someone who has just 77 posts to his/her name... however, surely the result that counts this season is safety from relegation? For this team, that is success. If you expect anything else you are being unrealistic and you are directing your emotion in the wrong direction. Long time lurker. Don't think I don't know about your Scottish Xavi heat maps. EDIT : BTW Palace really dropped down the leagues when Pulis dropped Bannan ay it.

Sell him, and use his wages towards a player who does it more than 5 times a season. Anything more than £5m would be a bonus. The loyalty thing always grates me,no other club in the league would have paid him the wages he has got here. That isn't loyalty, it is the comfort zone and he has shown zero attempts to improve as a player the last 5 years.
