Obviously he knew he wouldn't be starting in the prem instead of Guzan. It's good for him to get some game time and develop.
But does this mean Given will be playing in the cup matches?
Yeah, I'd rather have the excitement of battling for promotion than narrowly avoiding relegation every year.
However staying up this year is a necessity for the club to be sold.
Lambert isn't making stupid signings. He's thinking about it. He knows what needs to be done.
All we need to do is stay up this season and hopefully a sale will come soon.
Lambert is actually addressing the positions that need addressing with him and Cole. Sure they're not marquee signings but we don't have a lot of money to spend. I'm okay with this. Lets hope the lad does well.
A whole bunch of players we aren't going to sign this summer (some for good reason - I mean, Omar Gonzalez? The guy who is mainly famous for making roughly one costly error a game?)
Well, it's an improvement on most Villa players.
