  1. Agree with this entirely. I wish we'd give some our talented bunch of young lads opportunities as subs rather than the likes of Bowery, who clearly from what I've seen, has no real chance of making it in a top level league like the prem. If we can't afford to buy players, then giving our untried young players a chance to prove themselves in the first team. Players like Redmond are making a name for themselves and I don't see much difference between the likes of him and Robinson/Graham in terms of talent. Lambert said this when asked about big signings in January : "That's the game...it's a challenge," admitted Lambert. "We won't be able to go out and buy the big type of players. We have to look at the market, the young lads. We give them an opportunity and hopefully they take it." Yesterday, at 2-0 was the perfect opportunity to give a genuine prospect a run out, but instead went for Bowery and with all due respects to Jordan, I cannot see him being Villa caliber in future. Gotta start giving them game time if we are ever going too. Like mentioned, if your good enough, your old enough.
  2. We were very poor in the first half, easily second best against a poor side, a team who have looked dreadful on the road this season. Also, the fact fans had sat through 7+ hours without a goal, doesn't help. If I pay and others pay, we can voice are dissatisfaction when we are not happy. It's not always counter-productive, as I thought we were much better in the second half. A kick up the backsides from the fans and manager can help sometimes too.
  3. She is now using this article in The Express as a good enough reason for him signing. All 17 words of it, with no mention of bids. http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/412343/Aston-Villa-to-swoop-for-Japanese-star-Hiroshi-Kiyotake ...
  4. She says he is signing tomorrow, which he obviously isn't. Her Twitter feed is pure comedy.
  5. Is Lambo on holiday though? He was speaking live on TalkSport this morning. I hope Kendrick is not well informed on this one and there is some truth in it.
  6. Sign him up Lambo. Sort of signing to move us forward. That sounds like a clear come and get me plea. Nice to hear glowing words about the club from a very good player.
  7. Be good that he get's a full week training with the team this week. Hopefully be raring to go against West Ham possibly. I didn't think KEA was as bad as some people have been making out today, thought he did quite well.
  8. Probably is worse than Delph, probably not as bad as Bannan. He's hardly touched a ball for 2 years, probably rusty.
  9. Wilson Palacios is crap now. Oh dear, remember when we used to loan our shit to Stoke?
  10. John Percy ‏@John__Percy Could be a late surprise at #avfc - in talks with #scfc over possible loan deal for Wilson Palacios
  11. Didn't say it was Lambert's fault did I?
  12. 5hrs 20 mins to potentially save not just our season, but also our best players (Weimann, Benteke) too as they'll be off if we go down too for sure.
  13. Mat Kendrick said he thinks we might sign another this morning. A lot of time has passed since then. If we don't sign anyone, we'll get Lambert in his press conference tomorrow rambling on about wages/transfer fees being way too high.
  14. Gone quiet again. They've not mentioned Villa on Sky Sports News for over 2 hours.
  15. Pete Colley ‏@petecolley Being told Bent stays!!
  16. Apple Orange Banana = 3 signings. or Apple Orange Banana = 3 items of fruit.
  17. Linked with Rolando the Porto center back too in The Mirror tonight.
  18. QPR agree a deal for Chris Samba, activating his release clause. That's another player we could really do with in our team. A leader, a beast from set pieces, defending and attacking. Absolutely massive!
  19. Lambert's stubbornness because it is his signing seems to be the reason he keeps getting picked. Can't be performances, as he has been a shambles and a wreck everytime I've seen him play for us. Looks terrified. Stevens, Lichaj, Baker and Clark all better options at left back.
  20. Bent to Stoke makes sense. They've tried to sign him in the past when he was at Spurs but he went Sunderland. Also looks like Crouch is off. Bent probably work at Stoke, they have the big men to win the ball and I guess they think he'll bury all the scraps and knock downs. We'd probably get the best fee off Stoke too. Didn't they sign Crouch for £10/£11m at the age of 30? Only sell though if it's reinvested straight away, no point if not. Bent is useless and pointless under Lambert, so may as well go. WTF has Henke done?
  21. Randy Lerner said: “In the time that I’ve come to know Paul what is clear above all else is his strength of character and belief in his approach to football. Fortunes can shift quickly in this game and a sense that one has it right can become grave doubt in a matter of a few games. The Villa Board knew that with Paul we would begin to address the Club’s multi-year lack of competitive stability by reshaping the squad with seven new signings in the summer. It has been rewarding at times this season although certainly frustrating as well, particularly recently. During January Paul and the Board have discussed a variety of players although nothing has yet materialised, which I know also can be frustrating as fresh players always give at least a sense of progress and optimism. Finally, and on a very personal note, I would reiterate that Paul has achieved success at many levels of professional football and I believe, given support, he will continue to do so for us.”
  22. Even Everton are splashing the cash and they are skint. €10m on Dutch international Leroy Fer. But it's ok everyone, we will be fine don't you worry... Funny this is now even Lambert knows he needs a few players, said it today. Randy needs to stump up. The situation right now is pathetic.
  23. Another bit of cheerful news. I'm trying to hang to something that will give me hope with VIlla right now, but really am struggling.
  24. Embarrassing, the guy totally ignores the here and now. Always refers to the money Randy has spent in the past. That's all good, but a lot of that money he has spent in the past, those players are not here anymore or are out of the picture. We need reinforcements for this current team, not one 2, 3 or 4 years ago. The current team is the worst I've ever seen at Villa. Deluded and seemingly blind that Doogan.
