AVFCforever1991 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Welcome Ashley, I predict you will be playing for England within 2 Years.. I believe Lambert has unearthed a real Gem IMO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packoman Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Didn't know of him until today, but really liking what I'm hearing about him. Sounds like a very promising player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Isn't he Crewe's skipper?? if he's their captain @ 22 then there's gotta be something good about him!! TRUST IN LAMBERT! Captain for less than 4 weeks, quite meaningless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain for less than 4 weeks, quite meaningless. I think the point is not the length of time he's been captain, but that the club was prepared to make him captain at that age.

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Never seen the guy play but saw his interview and im optimistic about what he can do at a higher level. Crewe are well-known as having a very good academy, didnt the mancs just sign another promising youngster off their books too? Welcome our new Ashley! Lambo is getting HIS team together now. Will be looking a lot stronger when we get our injured lot back. Kust a shame no-one wanted Hutton or Warnock.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 captain eh? sign of the temperament desired by lambert, good luck to him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
switters Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Sounds promising. Hopefully he'll turn out to be a coup. By the description of style of play, I wonder if he's in as backup/alternative to El Ahmadi. Think we'll generally start with 3 of the 6 centre mids, as follows: Herd/Delph - primary role: energy/winning the ball back El Ahmadi/Westwood - keep possession ticking over Ireland/Bannan - creativity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Am i right that he is only five foot nine? If so I am a bit worried we only have lightweight midget midfielders at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanO Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 And yet KHV the best midfield in the world isn't exactly renowned for being tall. I think I'm starting to get Lambert and if I'm right then I'm more excited by him than any other manager since Ron Saunders. It not the size of the person, it's the size of the fight in the person that matters! He means it when he says he want young hungry battle hardened players. Ones that it will mean something to turn out at VP in a Villa shirt, players who will be proud to hear the Holte sing their name and will do everything they can to come off that pitch with a win. We have an owner who is fabulously rich but is also a businessman maybe just maybe between him and PL we have finally got a chance of achieving what RL's vision was for us when he took over.

I assume you mean the barcelona midfield that over the last few seasons has relied on the defensive midfield capabilities of the tiny yaya toure, the tiny sergio busquets and has just bought the tiny alex song?
