Ulver

I don't believe for one second that he has bothered identifying targets and presenting them to the board unless you count signing his old mate Holt for no apparent reason other than to have someone on his side in the dressing room if you believe different then so be it. you are more than entitled to a different opinion I'm pretty sure my opinion that Lambert is useless is FAR from in the minority! You only have to attend a match to hear the feeling is more than common place Is it really though? I've seen nothing to suggest that it's anything but a small minority. You must be going to different games to me then. Congrats I'm pretty sure my opinion that Lambert is useless is FAR from in the minority! You only have to attend a match to hear the feeling is more than common place Season ticket holder for 3 years so I can assure you I attend plenty of games thanks. Season ticket holder for over 20, what's that got to do with the price of gravy ?

Maybe it's Lerner not allowing Lambert any money to spend. I really feel sorry for you Ulver. Not likely is it ?. I think we all know it's Lambert not knowing his arse from his elbow. How much proof do we need ?

Has Lamberk pulled his finger out his arse and signed anyone yet ? He's had 28 days to make a signing, and about 4 months to do his scouting/homework on what was needed before then Nothing like seeing a genius at work

Proper fan right there. Seems perfectly logical to me. My opinion of him hasn't changed for about a year. He's a useless clearing in the woods How does that make me any less of a 'proper fan' than you oh great one ?

Who single handedly kept us up, Ashley Young, John Carew ... all completely crap January acquisitions

Lambert you are a useless clearing in the woods.

If we'd managed this whole Bent fiasco (and other bomb squad members) properly we'd have got money for all of them. But throwing them all aside and alienating them meant their value became nil. Not very good business practice As for Bent's sitter miss. Was that any worse than Benteke's against Sheff Utd ? They happen. To all strikers I still say if he'd been here and with a supply line he'd probably be on at least 10 for the season so far

Well they're hardly going to loan him out for nothing are they ? This is the real world. It's about time Aston Villa woke up and realised it.

We don't need another defensive midfielder.

That said, I don't think a Premiership club has ever loaned a lower league player before, maybe that's what caused the confusion. Perhaps we've caused the FA to write a new rule That x 20 Not that I don't see the logic behind looking at Lescott

Can someone clear this loan rule up once and for all to stop the same questions being asked over and over please ? Is it 2 from the Premiership plus unlimited from lower leagues and abroad or is it 2 from ANY English league ? I thank you.

Maybe Barca can take Bowery as part of the exchange visit

How to endear yourself to other squad members - not! Unnecessary, and, in my opinion, Clark is a very good defender alongside Vlaar, remains to be seen how good Okore actually is. Said it on another thread, players should stay well away from Twitter. Completely missed the humour i see

Merson. Treated as a legend by some despite only turning it on when he felt like it

Very much this. We aren't going to hand a 31 year old a 2/3 year contract and then have him as a back up. This is it folks.

So we've let the bloke off the hook for something like 180 decent minutes football in over half a season ? He's got a LOT to make up and prove to me before i'll accept he knows what he's doing that's for sure

Has he gone yet ?

At the moment i have him down as hit and miss. He can look very good and very poor within the space of one game

Spot on.

He's not a big enough name for Jose, i've no doubt we could get him if we wanted. But bigger clubs that will pay him better will be in for him i'm sure

Very good today, still not quite 100% but that's an encouraging sign

Far better, most likely because we played some **** football instead of just hoofing it. It's not (excuse the cliche) rocket science

If people seriously think we'll go back to spending half decent amounts on players whilst Randy is in charge they're off their heads. There is no 'plan' that will result in us going back to spending fees and paying wages that are in fitting with a club of our stature. I've even read some posts saying we'd have to sell Benteke to fund new signings. WAKE UP. If we sell Benteke for 20m, whoever the manager is would be lucky to get half of that and about 40k a week in wages as their budget to not only replace Benteke but to bring in other players too. Randy's lost all interest apart from trying not to lose money (he should've thought of that when buying a football club of course) So until the ghost sells up, we're stuck treading water at best. I've accepted that. It's just a shame we can't get some watchable football as a even a basic treat in the meantime.

One of Sid's best ever performances was (sadly) against the Villa Away to Blackburn in the 92/93 season when we were going for the title with Man Utd. They even beamed the game back to VP on giant screens. Sid played us off the park and made our then very good midfield look like planks Lost 3-0, the rest is history
