3 players In in January. Rodwell as I've said many times as he is a long term Pl target. Dembelle off spurs is the other player looked at if Rodwell don't happen. Other 2 targets are jelovic off Everton and joey Barton. Yes you herd me joey Barton. I know these are not lambert normal type and are old players but belive me these are our targets.

Well they're not as ridiculous as usual, but none the less I'm doubtful.

Rodwell is young so maybe, but no for the rest

VTID

Jelavic and Barton, no chance!

Love to see Rodwell, but Jelavic? The guy can't score. no thanks

You swore blind that rodwell was coming last window anyone else remember that?! you are a liar mate plain and simple

Barton I know is one of the most hated men in football and is in no way an ideal person i'd want playing for us but the irony is he's exactly the type of player we need, strong, aggressive, doesn't back down from any challenge and can actually play football, he'd certainly give these players a kick up the ass!

Of course he brings so much baggage with him but I have to say I'd not be disappointed to see him turn up at villa.

You cannot be serious! Joey Barton?
I posted the other day that we need a shin kicker but Joey, do me a favour, we could be playing with 10 men for most of the season.
Kingvilla you live in a fairy tale land.

You know why he'll sign barton so everyone will be screaming at him not our pathetic under performing manager

Seems a lot of people believe that Barton could be the man for us regardless of his history.
Worst disciplinary record (8 times sent off)
Admitted trying to get a player sent off a couple of years ago.
Yes just the man we want at VP to guide our inexperienced team.
What would he offer the team?
I dread to think.

For all his faults he can play football unlike our midfield I include delph who is back to his normal playing, Yes I would sign him

Oh my god.
Barton at Villa Park not as a visitor?
The thought terrifies me.
Villa are already bottom of the fair play league, can we get any lower?

Villa are not bottom of the EPL FPL! what you talking about! we're a lot higher than most these days my friend, including Villa's debt now stands at less than £45m.

Circulating via Italian media is talk of a straight swap Benteke for El Shaarawy, however Benteke not keen on the move, Would rather the £20mil added to a reported Jan kitty of £15mil, some might say as long as Hoddle iis the man to spend £35mill, I personally would like to see PL given a chance to spend it, Your thoughts? Who to buy & who to spend it

{Ed003's Note - He's out injured for about 3 months.}

My thought are you clearly hit the sherry extra hard this chrimbo

Would like to see Hoddle as manager villajk

Personally would not like to see pl waste any more money, but I think he will be given one last chance in January to turn it round.

El shaaraway at villa. Your living in dream land m8, he is a good player and will never be anywhere near villa park

And I would like to see hoddle I think he could get us playing some good stuff and not long ball

El shaarawy at villa would be like messi at Liverpool, a dream we should be aiming more at the likes of depay and or Wijnaldum. Personally the best signings would be getting young and downing back to add creativity which we have been lacking with lescott to shore up the defense

Young and Downing?!. No chance and no way. By the way, we got £37M for those two. where's that gone? Other than Benteke and Westwood in season 1 (not so much now), that money was squandered.

Young and downing are better than tonev and bacuna any day of the week

Young an Downing would make us 100 times better!
Can't see them coming back to us tho.

So many bitter jealous fans about.
Probably the same fans who called Barry a traitor an "a has been" in the Summer.

>Scg87

I'd like Lescott, Rodwell and Wijnaldum signed, I think these are realistic and wouldn't be to expensive.

I find it hard to believe A Young would come back and even harder to believe Milner would return considering how good he's been for City over the last 5 games.

>Scg87

It's nice to see someone who knows what they're on a about scg87 rodwell would be class young and fits lamberts philosophy, lescott to stop the leaky defense and Wijnaldum to add more creativity,
young and Robbie Keane would also be good ideas to add experience

Rodwell has been a long term Pl target and will be again in Jan. I have said this many times to be laughed at on here. Watch this space. King villa shall have his day.!!!

I've said it before, if Lambert sells Benteke, Hutton, Delfouneso, N'Zogbia, Delph and Stevens, then he should buy Finnbogason, McGeady, Popov and Jansson. I just don't see Lescott coming to the club, he will be expensive.

Why will Lescott be expensive?

He's in his last 6 months of his contract so maybe £2mil an city will surely take that considering they obviously bot want him.

An althought he's probably on 90k a week if Lescott still has hopes of going to the WC then he needs first team footy an no club in the word would pay his current wages so I don't think it's out the question he'd take a pay cut but if he don't wanna take a pay cut then he's obviously lost his hunger to play football so we simply move on to the next player

We don't know unless we try.


>Scg87

I don't get it.
Why would you want to sell Delph?


>Scg87

Then Lambert should try to sell Benteke, he obviously wants to go to Arsenal. And also Hutton, Delfouneso, N'Zogbia and Stevens should be sold. I just thought that Delph, receiving unnecessary bookings, haven't improved much lately, that is why I suggested that he should be sold, but you have convinced me to keep him. I also agree that Lescott should come to the club, if he is not expensive. I think that the other players should be D'Ambrosio and Pocognoli, McGeady or Traoré, Popov or Wijnaldum and Defoe or Finnbogason or Vossen.

Which traore?
