We are now the same odds as QPR to go down.
What a mess our owner has got us into. I blame Lambert as well as he blew the whole transfer kitty in the summer and most of it on dross.
Bent rumor not going away.
Jones & cash would be great at this point. No, we don't need Jones, but let's go down the 'fill the squad full of beasts' route and try and stay up that way.
That would give us some money for a Defender then.
What needs to happen is the following...
1. Ring Stoke and tell them that they can have Bent as a straight swap for Adam & Jones.
2. Ring Man City and bust our balls to get Lescott on a loan deal
3. Kill Stephen Warnock
I'd take anything now, fresh faces can only do us good.
So, we sign an untested 22 year old who will now have the pressure of protecting the worst defense in the League put on his shoulders...
Awesome Villa, truly-****-awesome.
If Lerner does not sanction any more signings, we are down.
This Sylla guy might be good, we don't know yet, but he's just the first of 2 or 3 players we need.
We need a Defender. What we have clearly ain't good enough.
Just heard Stoke have told Charlie Adam he can leave. I'd take him in any deal for Bent, that would be the Midfield bolstered up a bit.
Though saying that, bit of speculation that N'Zogbia may be going back to Wigan??!!
