VillaForever1970 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 We're playing a very very dangerous game, expecting league 1 and 2 players to come in and improve us. And also for foreign players to settle in instantly, when we all know from past experience, this does not happen. Very dangerous game. A lot of Newcastles didn't when they came back in the premier league, did okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I think I'm in the minority but I'm loving what Lambert is doing here. Buying young, hungry English talent and building for the future. I think it's great. I just hope we're okay this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 One of the worst teams in the league last year. Bottom of the league now. Started the season worse than any other team. When compared to the rest of the league we've had one of the worst transfer windows. Happy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Ashley Westwood? FFS. We need experience.What we need is the manager to bring in the players he wants But because a manager wants a player, it doesn't make them good enough. Hutton - McLeish. Makoun - Houllier Beye - MON We're playing a very very dangerous game, expecting league 1 and 2 players to come in and improve us. And also for foreign players to settle in instantly, when we all know from past experience, this does not happen. Very dangerous game.I don't think the likes of Bowery and Westwood (if we sign him) are meant to just slot straight into the team. I agree we do need a bit more experience but the buys from abroad look to be the best ones so far this summer. Whether the likes of El-Ahmadi and Vlaar will settle in is the least of my worries at the moment. We're buying back up players when the first team is the weakest in years. Easily relegation material. No width, no strength through middle, average "young" players, poor defence, one decent striker but no service. I agree with signing good young players, but our first team is about the 16th best team in the league. Any injuries will destroy us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packoman Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I'm actually not too worried, I trust Lambert knows what he's doing and who he wants. I'm actually quite excited to see some of these players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our midfield and defence are diabolical. I think Vlaar looks very shaky indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanky Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 We need three more players to our squad (even if we sign this Westwood) I think. We are looking so poor at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I for one am excited about seeing hopefully Benteke and these youngsters. If Lambert feels these are the players he wants he'll get the benefit of the doubt from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Scott Parker and everything is OK. I can see the reason behind Lambert's signings but I agree with a lot of the scepticism. We weren't good enough last year and when teams around & below our level are signing players like Gazton Ramirez, Dimitar Berbatov and Andy Carroll then I can't help but fear for the future of AVFC.
