Shawcross just signed a 5yr deal last week or so ago.
Agree23
Disagree5
Just heard on sun dwight yorkes getting a 6 month contract to trying keep us up
Agree13
Disagree12
Nonesense! Lol. Shawcross is probably worth more than Bent right now! He's arguably been the best defender in the prem this season
Agree17
Disagree7
Bent isn't for sale.

There, s little or no money in the kitty if it wasn, t for lerner we would be in the same situation as those down the road only worse our debt is bigger! looks like swaps and picking up other teams cast off, e
Agree9
Disagree8
We're 1-0 down atm can't help but feel the need for a midfield tank and and flamboyant playmaker ie sissoko, huddlestone and coutinho
Agree9
Disagree3
I don't think we're in debt anymore
Agree5
Disagree8
Carew on a cheap wage would be decent. Btw did anyone else see Delph half heartedly jump and miss that header against Bradford on the line resulting in their goal, he's a Bradford lad and ex player and self confessed fan. If I was boss I wouldn't bother playing him in the 2nd leg
Agree9
Disagree9
Villa are in debt but have reduced the debt as we've unloaded a few high earners with more going at the end of the season within 2 years all the dead wood will be gone the question is will Villa dtill be a prem team then as at the min i expect QPR to leapfrog us they have a good squad all be it overpaid charlies but some very good quality in all areas and a charismatic manager and a open cheque book so they stay up
Agree10
Disagree10
No chance of Coutinho.
Agree8
Disagree7
Lol Carew wasn't even good enough in his last season for us, so what makes you think he'd be good enough now
Agree11
Disagree6
Ok PL, get the players we need in before WBA game or we're gone!
Agree11
Disagree1
I wanted palacios who looks as tho is going to QPR for £2.5m an
Moussa sissoko who is supposedly going to Sunderland for £3.5m which would be soul destroying to think we'd missed out on 2 good players at cheap prices, an Id even had taken Stephen Kelly on a free.
Getting desperate now! PL needs to get to work now, an sign the players we need, not on the last day of jan but before Friday! Sick of losing out on good players because we're slow to react to players who are available.
Agree12
Disagree1
I dunno haha I just used to love Carew in a villa shirt. He's a good character to have around the young lads.
Agree6
Disagree1
And it was houllier who forced him out
Agree4

As i went to the Saints game yesterday, the penalty was a disgrace. N'Zog played well, Benteke just missed sitters all day long & Weimann just moaned & complained.
Saints without that penalty could have lost by about 3 or 4 if Benteke hadn't have missed every single chance.
Agree7
Disagree4
No chance of Shawcross - but possibilties for Upson, Murphy and Keane
Agree3
Disagree1
At least Vlaar is back, and Dunne is back in training- Bradford may be too soon for him though
Agree3
Disagree2
Dunne is on his bike and I don't think you'll see him in a villa top ever again!
Agree4
Disagree2
Dunne will play against Bradford. he's back in training and will play for the reserves this week as well.
Agree0
Disagree4
Weimann was moaning because he's passionate and wants the Villa to win for a change!!!

Villa looking at buying 3 from these prem experienced midfielders there interests include: Taylor and O'neil west ham, O'hara wolves, stokes white head and palacios. Warnock Ireland nzogbia and Hutton all offered in exchange.
The other 3 deals to go surman coming in from norwich. And 2 players from abroad.
Believable1
Unbelievable16
They are mostly terrible over the hill championship players. We need a whole new midfield starting with 2 new cm's in January and 2 wingers in the summer although if nzogbia can recapture old form under lambo which I think he can he can save the club a bit of money
Agree6
Disagree0
I'd be glad to see the back of all of those BUT not Charlie N'Zogbia.
Against Bradford he looked sharp & Benteke should have scored a couple if he got contact amount right.
N'Zog will stay i think.
Agree7
Disagree1
I think O, Hara would be a good buy. And good addition. But for no more than £2m
Agree8
Disagree8
Out of our midfield i'd keep Westwood, Holman and give N'zogbia 1 more season give Carruthers a step up bring clark into midfield( he panics to much on set pieces for me at the back)a and gardner.
the rest for me can go

Lambert says he will not sign more then 2 signings this transfer window...
Believable9
Unbelievable6
If only 2 i would get hanglehand or dawson and placios
Agree6
Disagree3
What else was he gunna say when asked "if he was gunna sign anyone"?
A. No not gunna buy anyone? Or
B. Yeah I wanna buy 5 new players?
2 players who are quality, experienced, an proven at prem level who can go strait in to the starting 11 will be good enough for me
Agree14

Hugely disappointed that with a third of the transfer window now gone we have still not made any signings.
Tomorrow's game v Southampton is pivotal for our season and given the performance at Bradford the omens are not great.
I'm still behind PL and what he is attempting to achieve but would like to know what, if any, support he is getting from Faulkner and Lerner. Seems to me to be commercial suicide to risk relegation in the very season revenues from TV are due to rise substantially. Hope sense prevails and we go out and by the players that we desperately need !

Lambert to make no more then 2 signings

Agree with your disappointment but are we surprised?
Time has run out for PL. RDM in by Monday.
Agree3
Disagree7
I agree. Villa need to make some very important decisions in regards to signings this month. Names flying about are great, personally I won't believe it until there running around in claret and blue. I am behind PL, however something has got to give! Villa is a big club and needs Premiership football. Sadly with the current squad and our league form, will January's signings save us?
Agree5

From what Paul lambert is saying we have no money. He has today ruled out a move for lescott because of cost.
He says he has to buy carefully as he does not have 5-6 million to spend on one player. I am afraid we are up the creek without a paddle. Today's game against Southampton is a must win game in my view. I like lambert and what he is trying to do but he should have spent some of the 24mil in the summer on a solid midfielder. If that's all we have I would spend the lot in midfield with vlaar back and play Clarke at lb, baker with vlaar. Holman in centre mid at Delph and bannan are clueless. Our forward line of zoggie, wieman
Agree2
Disagree0
Zoggie, wieman, benteke, and bent is a good enough forward line in my view. At the back and midfield we are very week. I hope and pray for us to stay up this season but it's gonna be a struggle. Lerner is just playing with us like a toy and now we don't hear off falkner. We were better off under doug. We may need to bite the bullet and bring back warnock and Hutton dare I say.
Agree5
Disagree1
I think Lowton is doing a good job, but Bennet is sh*t, need to bring Warnock back.
Agree7

Bennet will get better if we guve him time.
