I don't see why we don't sign anyone, this is not the season to get relegated with the TV revenue money we can get next season

If we could get anyone I would have a look at micheal carrick (loan), never rated him hugely but lots of experience and a strong player, mark Davies Bolton looked good this season and a fair bit of experience, Peter whittingham, since leaving for Cardiff has been a fantastic leader for them and loads of experience now could prove to be a good signing, Paulo Ferreira (loan), hasn't played in ages but a very experienced defender who can teach our full backs a thing or to and last one I would look at backary sako not sure about him looks a good player but not much experience, I think any one of these could offer us something even short term, I will keep backing lambert as poor as it has been we said it will take 2-3 years to rebuild the mess and I think lambert will do that so as hard as it may be il stick with lambert and villa all the way !

Any news Ed? It seems as if everybody else is prepared to fight for their premier league status... {Ed001's Note - nothing mate, but the summer signings were very much under the radar, with little fuss, so maybe the same is happening now. Though I am told it is a case of getting rid of some players first, if that doesn't happen, then I wouldn't expect anything in.}

Michael Carrick, dream on he is an integral part of the UTD team, where do these people come from?! A wish list is 1 thing but. C'mon get real.

Carrick ? On Loan ? That's Micheal Carrick, Man Ut'ds best midfield player this season, on a loan ?
Why not put in a cheeky bid for Messi while we'r e at it

Carrick is one of the best and most under rated midfielders in the prem. he won't be coming to VP though

I would kiss the ground carrick walked on if he came here

The Cleveland Brown fans warned us when he bought in to Villa and they seem to be right. He made a promise to his father that he wouldn't sell them until they were a success and guess what he did? Looks like he has accepted we are destined for the Chumpionship and the fact that we are probably more saleable as a team who can come back than one already in the prem and take the hit on its value. Lets see if he sticks with us or breaks the promise to our fans and deadly Doug when he bought in. My guess will be on the latter.

For some time now the canaries have been chirping on our site. I wonder how they are enjoying today.
Luton 95 places below them. Well done Luton.

Thing is we're not arrogant enough to think that it couldn't happen, you Villa 'fans' however are.

Villa fans are not arogant, they expect their side to perform and in the past the team has performed. Most Villa fans are working class lads, and you can't be serious when you call them arogant. If anything you are the arogant supporter expecting a small town club to outperform one of the 7 ever present prem. clubs. Many Norwich fans resented Lambert for leaving for Villa and since he moved they have been angry about it. However if you had the chance to improve yourself with a different job that paid you a lot more money you would take it. Lambert did and you don't like it. Grow up and be an adult and admit you are bearing a massive grudge. All of your posts indicate that you have a grievance, especially as your beloved canaries are now struggling. Villa have lost to two lower league teams but at least they were in the league. Sorry mate you have got it all wrong.

No they though it could happen that's why they booed them off the pitch at full time ? Did you not ?

If we're struggling and six points better off what are villa doing then? Lambert suits you with his arrogant smug persona.

So why is it a lot of you villa fans on here are calling for him to be sacked?? He thought he might improve himself but he went to the wrong club for that, check the bookies odds, he's the current favourite to be managing a championship club next season. Norwich fans accept him leaving if it had been for a bigger and better club, granted villa may be bigger, you can't say you are currently better, it's a club in turmoil - a poison chalice - it's board change managers more frequently than they change their underwear. So no issue with him leaving, he should have gone to a successful better team.

I am not calling for him to be sacked. However on the Canaries site some are asking for Hughton to go.

We would take hughton from you right now and you can have lambert back

Put your hand in your pocket Lerner everybody else around us have brought in one or two players. We haven't brought in anybody with less than a week to go what are we playing at. We haven't even had any solid rumours going around.

Lerner has dug up chunks to that club
Lambert believes his own hype, not 1 player tried to follow him from norwich, a much smaller club than Villa.
All the experienced players don't get on with him, who got Dimateo a cup @ Chelsea, the older players
No end of term players want to go to Villa
It is a club with papertalk ambition, poor manager with poor tactics & poor man management skills
Another john Gregory
Villa fans remember
Randy Lerner is not a football man, or a villa man he is a business man & villa are @ present a very poor business

You have nailed it pal, Norwich are a much smaller club. You are obviously not a B6 supporter. Where are our experianced players? If what you are saying is right then this squad should be in the top 6. Regardless of what you think, Villa should be fighting for a top 6 place but while other clubs are stregthening Villa sold their good players. The Engand squad a couple of years back contained 8 players that had worn the shirt at Villa park but some were drawn away by ambition and money. Lerner is a business man and after O'Neil spending his money he has shut up shop, it is just a shame that the defence have not done the same.

Bring back John Gregory
Mendax

Or that Dr Jo geezer, assuming he's not dead
Mendax {Ed007's Note - He isn't dead Mendax, we had him a Celtic manager in 98/99, I feel your pain.}

After the performance against Bradford on Tuesday, 5 players need to leave:

Bent - got to be a problem between him and Lambert

Agbonlahor - lackluster performance, didn't apply himself at all

Ireland - don't get me started

Bannan - weak, slow, not a prem player

and maybe N'zogbia - hasn't shown it for villa, but has looked decent last few games.

at least 150k of wages there.
Apart from that I'm looking forward to the challenge the championship offers.
UTV!

At least gabby gets around the pitch if your looking at losing players sell given hutton warnock bannan albrighton nzogbia herd bent ireland as all of these put in lacklusture performances the crosses we put into the box are awful 1 in a 100 are decent, when you put a good ball in we score from it

I want some kind of assurance that barry bannan will never wear the Villa shirt again

You've got to give Bannan a chance

One week for Lerner to prove that he cares about Villa. At present he does not appear to give a damn what happens. Any football fan can tell him what is needed so why is he not responding? Do you think that he will shovel money to Lambert at the last minute as he did last window in a final offering? We look the worst team that has ever worn the famous shirts, even worse that the team that went down in 1959/60. Tongue in cheek, do you think that Lerner is getting the odds on Villa surviving raised so that he can make money with a late bet? Oh no I have to take my tablets again.

Southern Villan. 70 years down the pan.
