I can't see any loan signings, it would be a move away from Lambert's transfer approach since at Villa. Did he make many loan signings at Norwich?

Not likely as he only joined Stoke in the summer

Mellberg? Not kicked a ball at Villarreal. Or am living in the past way too much. I would like to see an experienced CB who can hit the ground running, although I dont really see the problem of brining Dunne back in. A steady LB, Naughton?? A decent CM, someone like Parker, McCarthy, Palacios, someone who is going to cost a good 7-10m but knows the Prem and Robbie Keane on loan. That would complient what we already have. No more up and comings for now.

If he scores the winner tomorrow this 'article' will soon be forgotten. Could not give a damn what players say, its what they do in the shirt I care about. I currently see a player playing for Villa who is getting better and more confident each game. If that means in his head he is doing it to better himself, and ultimately get a move to a bigger club then so be it. If the likes of Arsenal come knocking (at the earliest in the summer) then he must of had a bloody good season for us, which probably means he has kept us up. Lets just enjoy him for now. So many always seem to worry about next season, and the following season. What about this one?

When ever I am talking Villa to other footy fans they always say that we are lucky to have Lambert. I tend to agree with them, he is THE best thing about Villa at the moment. That might not be saying much, but any talk of getting rid is just stupid. This guy has to be given a minimum of 18 months.

No, not at all - I think he's been really good. I find it absurd that people are blaming him for the goal yesterday, Long just got ridiculously lucky. Totally agree. Vlaar looks a Premiership player, our best signing so far.

Dumb question, but how do you actually unlock the kit? And once unlocked would be it be like having a 3rd kit at the kit selection screen?

Our manager is nearly as young as me, now thats scary!

Would be really good to get this confirmed by noon tomorrow, any help we can get for Newcastle would be great!

Is a replacement likely to be found/got by Friday?

Worse than hutton and Warnock, send him off to train with the kids. Shocking today, does not track back, can't control a ball, can't see a pass, can't cross and clearly does not give a shit. Get rid

I think this thread should be closed until 5pm tomorrow. Lets focus on the game tomorrow for now

Just seen the article about Reo-Coker on SSN website. I think he would be a steady free signing, still only 28. There are a lot of experienced Prem players out of contract, so you never know we might pick a few up, and there is no deadline for them. Clutching at straws...yes I am.

So would he be registered as an actual player as well?

The North Stand was probably the best stand for atmosphere last season, but that was probably due to the Holte feeling like a grave yard for so many games...I blame 'him' for that. But with all the positivity going around at the moment I reckon the Holte will be the place to be on the 1st home game. Thats where I will be going for.

Welcome Paul. I can sit back enjoy the Euros and look forward to a great season. Pride being a Villa fan is there again.

Although I would be not against this, this reminds me of the Guy Whittingham deal :?

Why do people keep saying this? 17 goals last season was it? How many goals did our highest scorer have? Because 1. he'd be the new Heskey and 2. It shows a complete lack of imagination and forward-thinking on the part of the new manager Nothing wrong with bringing players with you that you know all about. Plus his record last year speaks for itself and he offers a plan B...something to lump it up too. Plan A will be beautiful football this year :winkold: Holt could be the modern Peter Withe!

But if those rumours about a clause to speak to Premier League teams is true, then they negated on it. So surely no grounds for Gardening leave. Totally (if true), its just Pat seeing everything negative about Villa as usual. Always been the same with him.

Pat Murphy mentions potential garden leave could come into into the equation. Good old Pat being his usual positive self about Villa.

9/2 now!

Fiver on @ PaddyPower, only got 16s. I love the power VT and the Trees has! How long before the local press run an exclusive that PF has spoken to Ole?!

I have a horrible feeling that next seasons kit is going to be the best bit about next sesaon

He should be gone before the 30th anniversary of the clubs greatest day. So that gives RL 12 days to pull his finger out after the Norwich game. He should only need 12 hours, in fact 12 seonds to make the decision. If that abuse to the trades descriptions act of 'Football Manager' is still in place on the 26th May 2012 it will be a black mark on our proud history. Could you imagine the club celebrating the date, and 'him' making some proud statement about what a great day it was for the club. Sends shivers down my spine.

You sound like my local MP Intelligent and charming?
