Good shout.

Would be ideal,mad as a box of frogs tho

I see all this "investment of 250m" talk all the time but what about the monies he has recouped from that? Player sales & the like? Milner, Young, Downing etc etc.. I mean there's what 40m ish just there & you can't tell me all that has been reinvested surely? I mean with the income from tv, prize money etc & the money raised from sales for the last 3 seasons now he must be getting some of that back? I'm no accountant but hey!

Not just transfer fees , you have to take into account how much was spent on wages as well

.....which would've been a bit of a downer as they've been our 2 best players so far this season. Apart from the Mcleish signed Shay Given, maybe.

Houlliier had cabeye ready to sign ( cabeye was quoted that he was ready to sign until houllier was realeased )was looking at sissko , would not have been a bad midfield two would it

Is Dale Stephens still in Birmingham waiting to sign, if so he has been there since about 3rd January

He is snowed in

I hope he's a far bigger success than our last Belgian called Christian.

Or as good as our other Belgian Luc Nillis, I would be well happy with that

You can shoot me down with this but it is just an opinion ,as much as I rate bent I would trade him in and sign Rhodes half the price and half the wage would suit lamberts system where he relies on the forward winning balls and dragging defenders out of position, bent

only works in systems with width

I would have thought such activity would have been happening anyway to be perfectly honest, but lets hope they come in soon!

This.

Let's just hope they aren't dodgy panic buys.

Business should have been done a long time ago us fans can see the weaknesses and we are not paid thousands a week, we still have not addressed these

Don't think he was , Proberley don't know where villa park is

Yes because you know him.

I think CI can post some controversial things at times but it seems to be a new craze to just insult him or try and wind him up, and it seems new posters with low post counts love jumping on this bandwagon like it will earn them some acceptance on here.

It's pretty pathetic.

I think you might find I have been a member for a few years now and just because I don't post very is because I enjoy reading other people's posts bit I think saying lowton was rubbish yesterday is complete tripe do I thought I had say my two pence worth but CI does post rot at times

So you weren't there then

You know I wasnt there why ask, the STs were used by family due to holidays. Tell you what though, we were battered down Lowtons side. Make no mistake this could easily have been 7 or 8 - 1.

If you think Lowton is ready for the PL I'd say you are wrong, massively.

I smell something mmmmmmmmmbulls***

What I've seen of Lowton so far he's nowhere near PL level. We don't need another version of him at LB

You can not judge him by just watching match of the day, clueless

I've probably done more games than you've had hot dinners. If you think Lowton is PL quality right now you are delusional. I'm not saying he won't get there but at present he's a weak link. Everton exposed him yesterday time and time again. I don't want Cresswell on the other side based on what I've seen / heard so far.

One question we're you there yesterday ?

Re sign Carew free agent still only 32 would do a job alongside bent or wieman

'Villa75' do you know something, in our current situation thats not a bad shout and i'd add in Reo-Coker there as well. In any other time or place i'd describe your suggestion and mine as being completely mad but Bent at the moment is carrying a newspaper under one arm and a deck chair under the other while wearing our shirt. Carew just being upfront for us would at least make opposing defenders think and they'd have a few bruises by the end of the game.

We are desperately crying out for a defensive mid and even if it is one as limited as Reo-Coker then i'd welcome it, if we have currently a very limited transfer budget.

I certainly hope that the reality of the situation is that Lambert is still sitting on a decent transfer budget and is waiting until the last few days to spend it thereby being nowhere near the the two players we have suggested but re-signing Carew and Reo-Coker on short term contracts with low wages, until the end of the season if this is not the case would at least be a decent shout.

I was going to suggest NRC as well but did not want to suggest both as fear of being lambasted by everyone

Re sign Carew free agent still only 32 would do a job alongside bent or wieman

This is our poorest squad in twenty years

I also think bent needs to realise he is not there just to score goals he also needs to pull defenders out of positions and create space for others

No players before deadline = relegation , does not matter how talented our youngsters are , it was like men against boys today

MON leaving

Could be true then

Kevin Doyle ? ;-)

Can not see levy having him back after bent slagged him off on twitter when he wanted to leave

Gordon

Give 1/2 hour and ITK on twitter will be saying he signing tomorrow :-)

Not much speculation on here , should be renamed guff from vt
