PieFacE Posted May 6, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted May 6, 2014 Takeover or no takeover we should offer him a contract now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I personally think he's a play off level championship player at best. So lightweight and doesn't track back at all Whaaa? He's always offering cover for the RB??? Agreed. He's always giving away stupid fouls in that respect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfcgoodie Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Do we have better? No, Offer him a short term new deal, if the takeover doesn't happen may regret this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grobs Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 It would be a travesty if Marc was allowed to leave on a free. Our most creative player imo. Shaw had a tough game against him at VP a couple of weeks back, just shows how good of a player Marc is. Also it would upset me seeing Martinez get the best out of him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Martinez is a clever fellow...Albrighton won't be a regular for Everton but with them in the Europa league they need more than 18 players and Marc has experience of that competition with us and Wigan. Plus he's probably as good as McGeady is. Amuses me when I post on the Gabby thread of how plenty of prem clubs like Everton would be interested if we put him up for sale only to be told he's rubbish and no one would buy him and a top 5 club are targeting now one of our reserves...although I accept the free transfer nature of this deal for someone who has a decent number of prem appearences for us now would be a big reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodigan Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 he's currently among the most dangerous players in our starting XI, and i'd say a certainty to start the last two games. as a squad player who reasonably has a strong chance of being in our starting XI, of course, he should be contracted to the club. the fact that he's the guy that PL is bigging up before the games as our creative outlet at the moment, says it all - he's earned his place as a villa player in our current squad. Personally, i think marc has been a breath of fresh air since he forced his way back into the squad - what has particularly impressed me is his ability to make an impact when starting, which is something that he was struggling with.... against southampton, i thought he got better as the game progressed, whereas in former days, he would have faded and been subbed at 60 mins.... coupled with the fact that he desperately wants to stay, this is a no brainer, and not one that i have any worry about happening as soon as the season is done.... well done sharky, and lets get a win against man city tonight... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I think Lambert deserves a bit of credit for how he's handled Alrbrighton and helped get him through the tough times - hopefully he'll get him signed up and we can benefit from a local lad living the dream.

LondonVillian Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 sign him to a new deal still the best crosser we have even if wildy eractic at times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justified Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 The 'other' team interested in him when I posted back in March that had slipped my mind was in fact Everton. Didn't make any sense not offering him a new contract to me back then but makes a lot more sense given the announcement today. Been told to keep schtum over any other developments until told otherwise. UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Sunderland fans seem to be counting down to his signing for them at 6pm. Hopefully we can hang onto him. I notice Sunderland released Gardner today not that I think we should get him back. Strange how a load of our old players are available on frees this summer.

jacketspuds Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 If Albrighton goes and Lambert stays this will be just another chapter in the Lerner/Lambert comedy double act/fuckup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 We may lose him later in the summer but not today. I don't think players become officially free until sometime in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Looks like whomever the Sunderland source was, they were incorrect We may lose him later in the summer but not today. I don't think players become officially free until sometime in June. Yeah but you can sign a contract with another club from January I believe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaw_nuff Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 If I were Marc and Lambert sticks around I would bugger off. It didn't seem to matter what he did (and others didn't) he couldn't get a run of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_John_10 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 He's not a huge loss IMO, especially if a take over happens. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
