If I was lambert I'd sell warnock hutton given bannan delph and hurd his useless... And sign huddlestone parker try wanyama from celtic then make a bid for an experienced centre half in the premier league for example dawson from spurs or ask utd if we can have phil jones for the end of the season

Believable0 Unbelievable1

All of the comments on here are right about selling people an who we should buy but we've just got to hope lambert actually does this

Agree0 Disagree0

Who the hell is going to buy Warnock, Hutton, Bannan, Delph and the like? The best we can hope for is that lower league clubs would take all on loan and pay 1/2 their wages until their contracts runout.
As for Lerner, if he is not going to spend some serious money now, fresh from having £700 million put in his back pocket, he never will

We need a centre back: Lescott
A tough-tackling midfielder: M'Villa maybe, Huddlestone.
Strikers: Aubemyang and Austin. If Bent leaves, we will probably go for Zaha.

Also may need some more creativity, so a new winger and maybe go for Ramsey on loan?

I reckon we should sign:

-Wijnaldum (PSV)
-Hooper (Celtic)
-Huddelstone (Spurs , Loan)

5 at the back just aint working for many reasons:

-No width
-Wing backs dnt go forward
-Midfield cant tackle
-No service for the strikers

So I think we shud play this:

3-4-1-2

----------------Guzan--------------

-----Lowton-----Vlaar-----Clark-----

------El Ahmadi---Huddestone-------

Albrighton--------------------Holman

---------------Wijnaldum------------

--------Benteke-----------Hooper---

This wud be very effective. Clark and Lowton can push out to full backs and huddelstone can go into the back 4 wen needed and then the two holding mids (el ahmadi and huddelstone) wud be solid and help the back 4 out and theyre both very good at passing. Then Wijnaldum would mix up the play + the two wingers to service the strikers.

What do you think?

Believable1 Unbelievable0

I do like that formation but we need to make sure that the two holding mids defend. And jut wondering why would hooper come to us now when Celtic are in the last 16 of the champions league. I think we will get 20million to spend and we should buy a really strong hard working holding midfielder then play either a:
3-2-3-2:
Guzan
Clark Vlaar lescott(hopefully)
Huddlestone el ahmadi
Gabby Holman albrighton
Benteke augbameyang


Or play a:
4-1-3-2
Guzan
Lowton Vlaar lescott Clark
Huddlestone
Gabby Holman albrighton
Benteke augbameyang

Agree0 Disagree0

The way you lot ship goals I would go for a 9-1-1 formation.....

Agree2 Disagree2

I know we are struggling at mo but even we can't play 11 outfield players, its not allowed dope!

Lambert will be given £10 millio to invest in January.

Personally, I think Lerner is being way too generous. He has funded Villa out of his own pocket too much.

Nevertheless, Lambert is unlikely to be able to afford well known proven players and doesn't want that sort of player anyway. Forget about Zaha and the like.

Understand that Lambert will add experience by signing Squillaci on loan from Arsenal until the end of the season. Charlie Austin is a £4 million target from Burnley and Lambert may try to acquire Henley from Blackburn

I agree over the past few years Lerner has given us a lot of money we have spent the 5th most in the premier league, but in this situation we need at least 20mill for our premier league existence to continue

Agree0 Disagree0

Even though he has been kind qpr are getting 20mill

Think Villa are in for another slapping at Swansea tomorrow

Believable1 Unbelievable4

I don't think we are the reality of this situation has really kicked in now, and if u ask me don't start benteke then see how he reacts because at the moment pl is licking his bum ole but the past few games he has been playing shocking he needs to play 2 upfront. A simple 4-1-2-1-2 is good with a holding midfielder which we can buy in January and a creative one

Lerner is giving the villa £83 mil... he said hes sorry for not helping O'Neil out a few seasons ago...
Wants to reform villas former glory!

He wants to buy gary hooper, steven fletcher, ryan shawcross, thomas huddlestone, aiden mcgeady, sebastien bassong, adel taarabt and ben foster.

Hooper & Fletcher - replacing Bent!
Bent plays 2 more games we owe out £6m makes sence to cash him in, hes still decent. Fulham are interested...

Shawcross & Bassong, decent defenders need to be playing for higher reputable club (dare i say it) big contracts!

Huddlestone rumoured to be fed up at Tottenham due to Sandro, potential signing to sort out our back-boneless midfield.
Not to forget, Adel taarabt & aiden mcgeady, will put some spring in our step! both feasible, both established.

Which leaves Ben Foster, played very well for West Brom this season, only down the road makes for an easy signing.

Bassong??? Keep dreaming sweetheart

Agree0 Disagree0

The only thing Lerner is gonna pay for is a taxi for Lambert

Agree0 Disagree0

Dream, dream, dream.....lets revisit this post at the end of January shall we and see what actually happened

Agree2 Disagree0

Why would fletcher move again , why would bassong move again , ryan shawcross is awful and we dont even need a keeper so foster wont be coming! How much do u think weve got to spend? 40 million? dream on

Agree1 Disagree0

Is your name Alladin and do you have a lamp to rub to find a genie? I know this is panto season but we need reality, even the genie would struggle to find Lerners wallet.

Don't get too depressed Villa fans, look on the bright side Lambert is proven in the Championship so it should be a good season for you next season....
