P3te Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) Paul Lambert says Aston Villa will not make any big summer signings Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert has warned the club's fans not to expect any major signings in the summer. "Those days have gone." He added: "We have stripped it right back. We want players who are hungry. I look at players with character, not those who just want money." http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22556883 Depends what people consider a big signing really... I'd have called Benteke one, and I'd expect at least one in that price range this summer Perhaps Paul is talking about £10m+ signings on stupid wages Edited May 17, 2013 by P3te Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Benteke Westwood Vlaar Lowton and Sylla and i'll be more than happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I thought he mean't we wouldn't get any signings over 4 million. Benteke was our "major signing" of the last summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Depends on our out goings. I think we will not shift any big earners and Bent/Given will be Villa players next season for example (and happy to as they will be in contention again). New signings number? I say 2. Both defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I thought he mean't we wouldn't get any signings over 4 million. I doubt that tbh. £4m is buttons these days in reality - there wouldnt be many PL clubs with that as their spending limit per player, and I can't see it being ours this summer. That said, Lambert has shown it doesn't really matter if he's spending a couple of million here and there on players - he knows what he's doing - but if he wanted someone for £8m I'm sure he'd be backed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Benteke was our "major signing" of the last summer. I wouldn't necessarily class Benteke as a major signing either, not on paper back in August. He was an average priced player really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted June 27, 2013 Moderator Share Posted June 27, 2013 I'll guess Liam Prynn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Not counting youth players (but counting Steer because I presume he'll come into the senior squad) we've made 6. With youth players I think it's 9 or 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I said 6 but I'm now saying 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamsonwoodVillan Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Impossible to put a number on it now. If we can ship out a fair few of the deadwood then I still think we can get 3 or 4 more in. I certainly think it will benefit us an awful lot to have them in for a full pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pez1974 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Gone for 6. A new, more experienced, CB and maybe the same for CM. Otherwise, a few up and comers to replace the ones we ship out, with the U21s having a few step up as well. Reckon we will give a new contract to Lichaj too. Wow. I am shit at this!
