Anyone notice how smart Lambert is dressed? Is he going to a party later or something.

The ref's a villa fan. Makes a change.

Me too.

We are not pushing for a 3rd goal. Dangerous.

what a save

If we lose from here now...............

Squeaky bum time that penalty was.

This is depressingly bad.

Ah, well, he's got one more year on the "right" money. Then he'll be cut adrift at 24 years of age, having had 18 months of doing very little. Good luck with getting a "right money" deal then, Barry. What are Kiddie, Tamworth or Brechin paying these days? Most likely more than you earn.

The best player by a country mile in the bomb squad and we could only manage a loan deal for him. Don't look good with getting rid of the rest.

Mixed feelings. They try before they buy so to speak. 4m wages + 2m fee. With an option to buy for another 3m. If he's shite, send him back. If he bags 15 goals plus then he is worth more than the 3m fee they will hand over for the option. Of course we make 4m in saved wages + 2m. Plus maybe another 3m next year, but if he comes back costing us another 4m wages in his final year then we have only saved 2m.

Turns out to be the only club to want him. Sometimes you have to get into bed with the fat ones to get want 'you' want.

All the bomb squad are holding out for the same wage or will sit and wait for various reasons. Age, mentality, lack of ability. That's why it's important as a club to do your buying wisely, or at least reducing your risk. The manager has decided that bombing the players might bring about a sale quicker. Even if f they was in the squad they would bring nothing to the table and might even take away from the table and team by destabilizing the squad.

Eh, owe him wages? He gets a cut of the signing fee doesn't he and that's all.

The fact that Lambert doesn't respond properly to the 'will you bring in any more players' question, makes me think that we will. Pretty sure if we weren't after anybody he would outright say it. Think it depends who leaves.

Makes sense now why his agent was in Sutton Coldfield with him yesterday.

OMG 2017? Amazing. Lambert really is something else.

The agent does look rather greasy and greedy though.

Apologies for ignorance but is this off a villa fan and does he mean Sutton Coldfield or Sutton? As one is villa territory and the other is more spuds land?? Sutton Coldfield. Half way down the main shopping parade looking towards the courts and away from the Cup pub.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hooligan_firms#England I believe we owe that particular group to our connection with the Cleveland Browns. Never heard of the Steamers to be honest and Villa Hardcore doesn't ring any bells, which seems to be the currently active firm. Villa Youth was from the 80's and the C-Crew the 70's if I'm not mistaken. You've never heard of Cleveland Steamers before? Look it up I meant a Villa firm called the Steamers.

They'll wait till the last minute and lowball. Even if they've sold Bale for 75m, they'll wait till the last minute and lowball. Yep.

I'm not, in fact I couldn't give a flying f**k about CB. But I seem to remember that AVFC paid 'what' Genk wanted.

It's his job, that stuff isn't a factor these days. Like I said elsewhere, I'd gladly shoot off to another job if it a) was more prestigious, would potentially get me noticed by more people, and c) pay me more than I would be capped at here. In that order. Loyalty doesn't come into it for regular Joe's jobs, why this assumption it does for footballers? Not when you've been plucked from the Belgian league to play in England as a young bloke. Thats like a polish refugee given a job and a home in england, proving he's a good worker then has the front to say bollocks to your payrise and contract, bollocks to your hospitatilty i can get more working over there so i want out (even though you're paying me more than enough, i can stomach one more year with you..) But I guess thats how a lot of people are thesedays. He can get his move, its just after one season it really gets me how he's just used our club. i didn't hear you complain when the club used Benteke to stay up didn't i? Used? WTF?? He was being paid to do a job. And didn't he did his job or what? Yes, but he wasn't 'used' And he didn't used aston villa then. He is 'using' AVFC by engineering a move after 1 season.
