I have been informed by a very reliable source that we are on the cusp of being bought by a consortium headed up by kingvilla.
He is rumoured to be intent on buying himself as his first transfer, as well as taking on a director of football role to assist Lambert with further transfers, day-to-day management and tactics.
My source will of course remain anonymous (don't worry K)

To be fair, this seems more plausible than most of nonsense on here of late

As for the Ki situation I would give him until the first game in the states to make up his mind.
If he has not made a decision by then "JOG ON".
He might well end up with egg on his face.
Let us please not show desperation in our search for players, if they hesitate that's cool we must move on.
There are many players out there that could help us on paper, but they must want to play for Aston Villa.

I don't always agree with you Villadave but this time I do.
The only problem is that PL does not have the money for reasons that are well known to go out and get the players and I think that he is hopeful of getting KI for £2m even though this has been denied.
I dream of the day that we go to a top club and offer them money for an existing top player as Chelsea Man City and the others are able to do. Then I will know that we are really in the prem.

I think its fair to say that most of us on here disagree with each other on different issues, if we all agreed with each other all the time we would be Robots mate.
I understand if some people disagree with my views blimey, just ask the wife.
I know you like PL as do others, but I wish he had purchased 3, 4, or 5 quality players with the money he has had in the past, rather than 10 very mediocre players that are clearly not performing.
Having said that I still think we will have a better season this year.

My God. Look what Lerner has reduced us to
An average middlefield player from Swansea is not sure he wants a move to Villa.
Southampton are openly talking about one of our players as a replacement for one of theirs (disgraceful behaviour by Koeman by the way)
And, apparently, QPR circling for the same player.
That's QPR, with a capacity of about 16000!
Never thought I'd see it this bad

Hi Mendax.
I don't think its because we are Aston Villa mate, I think its more to do with our location.
I believe the interest for Ki is coming from London where the media interest is far greater, and as we know players love attention.
Also as far a Vlaar is concerned he won't be going to QPR I am pretty sure of that, Manchester United maybe.

Point I'm trying to make Dave, is that there was a sustained period of time (not that long ago) during which players would jump at a chance of joining Villa and teams like Southampton and QPR would never dream of being able to poach our better players
Our standing in the game has dropped to levels not seen in a long time thanks to Lerner
Agree0

With all the latest reports that Southampton want Vlaar, I would like to ask why he would want to go there?
In my view with all the players they have lost and with others on the brink of leaving and with a new manager attempting to settle in, they are a shoe in for the relegation zone this season.

So, what do people think of the latest nonsense coming out of Villa Park?
According to a report in one of todays newspapers, club legend Ian Taylor has been thrown off the trip to the USA for criticising the club in his newspaper column, which has upset the sainted Lambert.
Taylor has been replaced on the trip by Lee Hendrie.
How pathetic - it proves that Lambert is unable to take criticism but then we all knew that already.

{Ed007's Note - Isn't Hendrie just covering for Taylor on the trip because he had other commitments and couldn't travel?}
Not sure about that Ed but the report does say that Taylor has been ordered off the trip to the USA by Lambert who is upset that Taylor has criticised club decisions in his column, not because Taylor couldn't make the trip due to other commitments.

I agree with your comment bye the way Mendax.
Just trying to deflect from the fact it might be because we are Aston Villa.
