I'm confused by the statement bit. The statement is that we still have **** all money to spend but we may still sign some decent players if we can get them cheap enough. Could be worse I suppose. All heil Randolph Lerner, saviour of Aston Villa.
-
This. We should be looking at players like Marcelo or Alaba. Not this guy.
-
Definitely still need a DM. Capoue is a good shout, especially as Spurs want schneiderlin still.
-
Not bad for the reported 2.3m. Better than what we have and it will be another option at LB to push Clark and Baker further down the pecking order.
-
But which one I wonder. Bennett, Clark or Baker?
-
Worryingly Richardson has been used as a number 10 in pre-season. I actually didn't think we needed another LB but Lambert seems to like signing them.
-
Wonder if Lerner flying back to the US has anything to do with it. Bye Ron.
-
Lets hope it's a free transfer and his wages are low so that Lambert still has enough money left to actually bring in a DM and a winger. Although this is the 3rd summer we've needed these so I'm not holding my breath,
-
I can just imagine the new CEO's first week at the club... Monday CEO - "I've checked out the state of the team Randy and you need to invest £40m so that the manager can build a squad that can compete. You can't succeed on the cheap." Randy - "You're fired."
-
We can't afford the printing costs for his surname on the shirts. That's why we tried to sign Ki.
-
Randy Lerner has guaranteed Lambert £10m to spend on players, as long as the players that are signed agree to play for free.
-
Better than Crowley? Crowley is now 17. My bad. I just don't have time to read up on our youth players any Moore.
-
Better than Crowley?
-
Yes please. Article says at least 3 so we'll see. However, if we bring in Ki, Moses and Sinclair I'll be happy. Swap one of Moses or Sinclair for a DM and I'll be ecstatic.
-
Or even loan one in.
-
Hutton doing well apparently.
-
Would be good if Richardson was played as a LB/LWB. Fingers crossed that's where he plays today.
-
Bye Tony. Thanks for the Arsenal goal.
-
Sunderland are crazy not to loan him for a season first.
-
The problem is we are now in a position where the gap between the top clubs in the league and everone else is growing. Our squad needs 50m at least now just to compete but next season it could be double that. Team like Everton and Spurs, once our rivals for the top 6, are now spending 20m+ on one player. We are will become even more unattractive to potential buyers even if we do survive. Lerner needs to realise this or this downward spiral will continue.
-
Bring Milner back on loan.
-
It's hard to find quality players on a small budget. Kozak, Bacuna and Okore all see to be good buys. Luna and Tonev, not so much, but what do you expect? I expect us not to sign crap players, but I can accept that we will end up with our fair share of shit ones given the budget restrictions. However, it annoys me when we sign players who don't perform and instead of keeping them at the club or selling them, we loan them out and probably pay a portion of their wages as well.
-
Yeah, that is what we need to do with a young player, coming off the back of a terrible injury, in a new league with little experience behind him. Play him out of position. Jeez. Okore hopefully can get 30+ games under his belt playing next to Vlaar at CB, I am excited. I am excited as it means that we won't play Clark and Baker together, barring any injuries to Vlaar or Okore.
-
Yippee. Some more positive speculation to keep the positive aura around the club. Well I'm hoping that the ones leaving will be the likes of Luna and Tonev as opposed to Vlaar and/or Delph.
-
As much as I think Lambert should have gone in the summer, I really really don't want Keane as our manager. Lambert has to stay until Lerner buggers off and we can bring in a new management team.
