DamsonwoodVillan Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 No guarantee Norwich would listen to our approach anyway. They are probably more livid than ever with Lambert now given what has happened to them over the 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny*Nunny Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I think they had to save face in January by not selling a player (they maybe couldn't / didn't want to replace) to a relegation rival. Now the player has handed in a 2nd transfer request with all the summer transfer window in front of them, and considering we're no longer rivals, I imagine PL would get him - assuming no takeover is imminent. Lambert could probably now offer more than the £1M allowance that was reportedly provided in Jan which may help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Would fill a hole 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lions_Roar Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Nursey said a few days back Lambert will go in for Hoolahan and Pilkington this summer. Think it's a waste of time though as Norwich refused to do business with us in January so why would they now Because in Jan they didn't want to strengthen a relegation rival.

Mattyp_avfc Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Yes please... Him playing Behind Kozak or Benteke would be very good as he creates chances for himself and others... looks for something different that what our current midfielders do.... Also would be funny considering he will be dirt cheap this summer!!! #FreeWes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciggiesnbeer Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Looking to sign up a 32 year old player who couldn't hold down a first team spot in a relegated side? Bloody hell. I know times are tough and all that but are they that tough? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Looking to sign up a 32 year old player who couldn't hold down a first team spot in a relegated side? Bloody hell. I know times are tough and all that but are they that tough? Could be a bit of a 'moneyball' signing? Finding a player overlooked by his side who could come on the cheap but offer us something we don't have already? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finding a player overlooked by his side who could come on the cheap but offer us something we don't have already? I suppose so. Still his age. Tough to get over.

P3te Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 We don't need him forever though. Most likely a season... 2 max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Is he attainable, can he do a job? If the answer is yes, then why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 The current state of the club he'd come in and be an important player. Pretty depressing but that's Aston Villa under Lerner. It looks like another season of praying for survival and this signing will help achieve that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max the Silent Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Considering the poor state of our current squad, and the fact that we've been crying out for an attacking midfielder, and for an experienced head or two, I'd say we could do much worse. At least he's not a 16 year old turning out for the reserve team of a club playing in the bottom division of the Luxembourg league.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Hopefully he wouldn't get to play next season because our new owners would have backed the new manager to buy a few players from the next level or two up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Is he good enough to carry all the creative responsibilities in a 3 man midfield, and are our remaining 2 central midfielders strong enough to handle the opposition midfield? IMO he's not and Delph & Westwood are not so he would not solve our midfield problems, probably make them even worse while granted offer up a few assists. We already have the most powderpuff midfield in the league... If Lambert plans to play his narrow diamond with him in the hole we'd get slaughtered on the flanks, it just won't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
