Makoun going to norwich on loan for next season
Probably a sweetner to enable friendly links
to be re-established with norwich
This could have substance. villa have treated makoun poorly he is unhappy here and wants to move on

Heard Lambert might look at Hitzlsperger, who is a free agent, to add experience to the midfield, with Petrov's absence, along with further invigorating the Villa fans. Would like it to be true, as I still rate Hitzlsperger as a player and feel we need more experience in the middle of the pitch, but I doubt it will happen.
Hitz has gone as flat as a pancake!
Maybe would be a good bench boy but don't see him in the XI personally.
A decent enough free agent all the same!
Yeah he isn't of the calibre he once was, but I definitely wouldn't say no. He was good for West Ham just over a season ago.
Im sure given the chance to return he would prove doubters wrong. Would be a good stan replacement for next season

Apparently Vargas in talks Peru defender 12 mill
Sorry mate he's not going anywhere other than liverpool
Villa have been linked with Vargas for ages!
Neither Villa or Kop have £12m to buy him really & he isn't really worth it considering other players e.g Tom Ince would cost a lot less.
Im sure learner can fork out 12 million. Dont be silly

My sources indicate talks went on last night between Cardiff City & Aston Villa over the possible return of Peter Whittingham.
A value close to £3.5m is negotiated.
We need to make sure we keep jean makoun, he is a quality player!
There is no truth in the above whatsoever , Whittingham has 3 years left to run on his Cardiff contract , the transfer fee would need to be double the above quoted figure. Whittingham has recently stated he does not want to leave. Malky Makay has also stated the player is not for sale.
Correction 2 years on his contract left.
vital villa have since ran a story on this!
7 mill for whittingham? are you a cardiff fan?
Why would we sign whittingham carruthers bannan and gardener are much better prospects
Whittingham was cr*p last time, don't want him back! Above average championship player but not premier league class no way!
Whittingham has pin point crossed & fantastic free kicks.
Bannan is too complex in his passing & Gardner & Carruthers lack experience.
I'd welcome his return but for a rotation basis & less than £4m!
Can we not class bannan as a "prospect" he's coming up to 23 its make or break for him
Your all forgetting whits is not a winger anymore so he rarely gets to the by line and cross he ball which was his best asset he is simply not good enough to play in the centre in the prem if anyone then get Steve Davis back on a free
I think the best outcome would be for Whitts to stay at Cardiff. Then we shall all be happy!

Ed, Do Villa currently have any staff in the positions that Culverhouse and Karsa would fill, or did they get the sack when McLiesh went.... from a curious NCFC fan. {Ed043's Note - yes there is a number of backroom staff postions that lambert will be looking to fill as keven macdonald left his position as first team and im sure that he would like to bring some familar faces that have helped him get to this stage in his career, so there is a good possibility that he may make a move for his previous backroom staff}

Ed any news on Culverhouse and Karsa yet??? {Ed015's Note - Very quiet, Norwich CEO said they wanted to keep them as an extended coaching set up and strangely Culverhouse and Karsa did not hand in any resignations with Lambert, this could run and run all the time eating into pre season, maybe compo should be sorted for them so that everyone is happy.}
You arent getting them, simples!
His contract with Norwich runs out on the 30/06/2012.
His is joining after that as not to upset the Norwich fans. I know this for a fact
He is on a rolling one year contract at norwich which as you correctly says expires on 30/6/12
However norwich say he will sign a new improved 3year contract next week
He wont be coming to villa ,we have burnt our bridges with norwich

Karim El Ahmadi being strongly linked, some ppl say its a done deal.
Must be done deal wikipedia has his current club as aston villa apparently he's as good as nigel de jong if not better {Ed015's Note - Wiki does not prove anything, but the signing does look a possibility.}
Very good player look on YouTube at the way he ruined Ajax s midfield master class FairPlay
Good spot, hope its true
El Ahmadi is a decent enough player.
Would cost near to £3m.
Would be a great squad addition & can play right back which makes sense.
Wen has he ever played right back. We have enough players to play there anyway. Hutton? Lichaj? Herd?
