Well, just over 1 day to go and hopefully we will see what PL intends to do with the funds that he has been promised. Problem is that we don't know how big the fund is or more to the point how small the fund is for January.
PL must have been looking around to see who he wants to tempt into VP. Am I correct that in the summer he did his business early? Will he do the same this window?
Our list is massive, PL & Lerners list, well who knows?
Being a Villa supporter for so many years I find it quite exciting waiting to see the newcomers arrive, as surely they will, if Villa are to remain as one of the original Prem. clubs.
Realistically who do you think will be coming in and who do you think will be leaving. then who do you think should be leaving?
My wish is for a leader on the pitch who will boll --k the 50% players and work with those giving 110%.
C'mon who will we see?
Kingvilla now is your chance!!

Need a defensive midfielder to break up the play then an attacking midfielder to find the assists. Need a striker on loan John Guidetti has been linked. And maybe a centre back who can pass the ball around.

Agree0 Disagree0

I'm thinking we play Lowton as CDM as he has a good pass and with his defensive experience I think he would be good in this role ( better than anyone that we have currently) and it would allow him to get forward more.

Agree0 Disagree0

Who would play right back though? Bacuna or Herd.

Agree0 Disagree0

I'd play with the current squad:
Given
Vlar Clark Okore
Lowton Gardner
Gabby Delph. Nzogbia
Benteke

Agree0 Disagree0

I would like to wish everyone on this site who take the time to voice and express their feelings about ASTON VILLA.

Also Ed for his help with some of our questions.

A very happy new year to you all.

Definitely think zaha on loan would be a good shout, weiman needs dropping aswell as quite a few of that team. Said it over the summer that the club enquired about Gregory sertic and would be a useful realistic target for this window.
As for a playmaker I'd love to see us at least attempt to bring yoann gourcuff in, would be a sign of ambition from the club anyway.


Everyone is on the management and owners backs but its all down to the players not being able to string more than 2 passes together why aren't players like Clark, luna, weiman, Westwood etc getting their fair share of flack?! Can't see them being able to get into many teams in the championship let alone prem.

Hi Finch.

I agree about the players mate, I think the players have a lot to answer for, professionals should be able to adapt to anything that is put in front of them or at least try.

Problem is a lot of them think they are better than they are.

The manager plays them so he takes the blame let's be honest would any other prem team play them except gabby and tecky

Agree0 Disagree0

We didn`t play Bannan & Ireland but other managers are prepared too.

Its the managers choice, but player stand up and be counted do they not

Hi Ed

Can you shine any light as to why PL keeps overlooking Helenius?

Seems to me his face doe`s not fit.

I feel he could become a VP favourite given the chance.

He has talent, vision and great ability, scores goals and creates chances.

{Ed001's Note - he has replied, but not quite with the reply I expected, and it is something I am not sure he is correct regarding. He claims that Lerner's being advised to remove Lambert from his position and that potential replacements are already being sounded out, so it doesn't matter why Helenius isn't playing.

Personally I am not sure if he is right, there has been nothing from elsewhere regarding anyone being contacted. But I will stand by him, as he should know more regarding the situation than any journalist. I am hoping to find out who has been contacted, if he will tell me that.}

Thank you very much for that ed.

Very interesting.

If it is true? well,
lets just say I have been talking with a few mates and the name of Solskjaer has cropped up more than once.
Lets see if the Sunderland result brings something light.

villadave

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - he is being put forward for every job in England at the moment!}

Before Lambert was appointed was Solskjaer not approached by Lerner and did he not reject the approach? Why would he now change his mind?

Agree0 Disagree0

Have you never changed your mind mate.

Its called circumstances

anyone no what is going on with Bennett is he still injured if not get him in 4 luna that man is awful I sure he is blind in his left eye he always has a player out wide 20yards away from him waiting to receive the ball and time for gardner and helenius been saying it for weeks at the games don't no what lamberts problem with them is especially helenius its his signing

Good shout, much the same as my post last week.

villadave

Agree0 Disagree0

We need young players with premiership experince and not players from abroad. Lambert needs 30 mil to add to his squad and with that he needs a rb, lb, cdm, and 2 cam to add to guzan, vlaar, okere, delph, agbonlahor, benteke would not mind walker creswell diame rodwell and maybe kiotake from aboard?

Hi Ed.

Do you have any information as to why PL prefers not to use Helenius.

It seems to me his face doe`s not fit, for me he would become a favourite a VP if given the chance.
He has got talent, vision and ability.

Villadave.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I am trying to find out for you mate, I have kept your second one for if I can find anything. Right now, all I have been told is that Lambert doesn't think he is ready, just want to check there isn't a specific reason. And I do agree, I think he looks a talent.}

Thank you Ed.

Waiting for anything you can find out.

villadave

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I am just waiting on a reply, the person I asked is very close to the lad, so he should know if there is an issue. Even if his answer is along the lines of being unable to say, at least then we will know that there is an issue, rather than just wondering what is going on.}

Hi Ed can u find out was is going on with Bennett as we'll cheers

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I will try for you, as he hasn't replied might get him to get moving if he has a few emails bugging him!}

Statement in paper PL said he as full backing of RL, its a long project so a near 40000 have to watch s--t football for how long? A project doomed to fail because any commodity you buy you get what you pay for Rolls Royce or reliant we keep buying reliants so what dose this state. it means championship and doing a wolves the players bought are S--T they are not young 23/24 yr old should be near peak I thought PL was going to give our youth a chance but no. cheap player are all we get Doug Ellis would have sacked him buy now. RL/PL are poor businessman if they can't see this, rant over

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Don't apologise for ranting mate. If you can't do it here, where can you do it. Plus, you have good cause!

Agree0 Disagree0

Bit harsh to call randy Lerner (one of the rich buisness men ) a poor buisness man because he doesn't know football lol
