quizme Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 2 permanent, 1 attempted loan, 2 attempted out :!: Cresswell, new striker permanent and Frimpong on loan with an option to buy would do it for me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onje_villa Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I still believe we'll spend and make at least two new signings. I trust my info, at this stage Sad thing is that two is about half what is required to make this a decent transfer window. I think it will be two as well, Carroll and Cresswell and I think that will set us up just fine for now. Maybe a surprise midfielder on deadline day if Warnock, Hutton and Makoun are all shipped out by Friday week. When everyone is fit I'd go for something like: ....................Given...................... Lowton....Vlaar....Clark....Cresswell ..................El Ahmadi.................. ...Holman......................Delph....... ....................Ireland.................... .........Carroll..............Bent........... Subs: Guzan, Lichaj, Dunne, N'Zogbia, Bannan, Gabby, Weimann Squad players or loans: Delfouneso, Herd, Curruthers, Albrighton, Stevens Gardner, Baker That team should be good enough to stay up. Woohoo! "Good enough to stay up". Excitement... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onje_villa Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Rumours all over Shitter about Stefan Kiesling, wanted us to sign him a few years back, I always thought he was underrated, not seen him for a while though. Oh yeah and it's on Twitter so it's bound to be 100% factual. Someone's even updated his Wiki page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Lambert & Faulkner have both effectively said we're done this window which is a worry. We are nowhere near strong enough as a squad. Still they aren't going to shift anymore STs now. Maybe another signing first week in Jan and all the hype about half year ST's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are these statements? I haven't seen Faulkner say anything. And Lambert has been quite candid, saying they are working on things but would be happy to go to January with this squad.

Ponky Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 He said: “I’ve spoken to Randy [Lerner, the club chairman] and we’ve just bounced things off one another. If something can be done, then great. We’ve still got a week to go so we’ll see. “We will have to wait and see but any manager will tell you, you are always going to look for players. I don’t think you ever stop looking for players. You have always got to try and improve.” I think he is "effectively" saying something else entirely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Yes they have, effectively, they have said that no. "we go with what we've got" Paul Lambert Wasnt that going into the West Ham game? Yes he was talking about the West Ham game not the whole season. CI has misunderstood. I think we will get a left back and another forward and hope it is enough to keep us up. Then we try and improve again next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 If he meant in relation to west ham only, fair enough, I read between the lines and saw Lerner locking his cheque book away for another 6 months. Guess we'll see over the next 7 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyp_avfc Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I'm pretty sure we will sign at least a left back and a striker to go with that... The rest who knows!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Mark Lawrenson who is more ITK than anyone on here or twitter - "You could argue Villa need to add to their squad before the transfer window shuts next Friday but I am not sure they are a club that does much business anymore - the purse strings are very tight."

Zhan_Zhuang Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Mark Lawrenson who is more ITK than anyone on here or twitter - "You could argue Villa need to add to their squad before the transfer window shuts next Friday but I am not sure they are a club that does much business anymore - the purse strings are very tight." He's probably the most ill-informed pundit out there and his tenuous links to the game are from a bygone era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
