What would people be happy with next year given that we stay up? Ins and outs:

Ins: R. Martin, Raoul Leo, Matt Phillips & Gary Hooper.

Outs: Given, Dunne, Lichaj, Stevens, Hutton, Makoun, Ireland & Bent.

We need to cut loose the deadwood and improve the quality of the squad. The INS would be around £20 million which is our budget, and the outgoings would largely cover it. Would people be happy with those deals?

Line up of:

_____________Guzan
Lowton__R. Martin__Vlaar__Bennett
_______Westwood__R. Leo
Agbonlahor___N'Zogbia____Weimann
____________Benteke

Sinclair to if we could get him

Agree5 Disagree11

Wouldn't want Sinclair as well as Phillips, waste of money.

Agree11 Disagree3

Baker at cb for me, I think he's absolute quality, bennett looks like the weak link if i'm honest, more of a winger. I'd go after jetro willems for left back as he's still a teenager that plays for the holland national first team! Would come cheap as well.

Agree15 Disagree8

Jetro Willems wouldn't be cheap, he is defensively very poor as we saw at the Euro's. When he does progress and mature I think that a transfer to Manchester United beckons.

Agree2 Disagree10

He's still unproven and you could pick him up for around £5m at the most, but he's definitely got more potential that any young left back I can think of! Give him a year in the prem and a good bit of training and he'll be one of the best left backs in the modern game!

Agree2 Disagree7

If we sign Russell martin I give up lol, I rate lamberts young and hungry policy. Lowton and westwood have been amazing finds, but martin is never going to improve. I honestly think roger johnson is better than martin, and for a villa fan to say that about johnson takes a lot. I hate the count lol, seriously though we need to be looking at players of a higher ability and potential than Russell martin.

Agree15 Disagree2

Ex Bluenose Roger Johnson who got relegated 2 years on the bounce? get out of town

Agree9 Disagree2

Sell Bannan he is the laziest and most selfish player I have ever seen

Agree6 Disagree13

I think Winston Reid is meant to be an option also? Ed do you know anything about this? {Ed001's Note - I am trying to find out, I know Villa were interested in him before he joined West Ham, just not sure if Lambert maintained the interest or not.}

Agree0 Disagree1

You have 8 players leaving an only 4 players coming in? We already have a small squad, I don't think it's a good idea to make it smaller. I'd keep Lichaj and Stevens as a squad players, decent back up if we have injuries in defence.

Ins> Lescott. Martin Olsson.
Rauol Loe. Will Hughes. Dries Mertens.
Outs> Given. Dunne. Warnock. Hutton Ireland. Bent.
I think these signings are realistic, and i'd hope Benteke an Weimann stay.
I'd keep Bent but PL seems to hate him with a passion so he'll leave.

. Guzan
Lowton. Vlaar. Lescott. M Olsson
. Loe
. Westwood. N'Zogbia
Weimann. Gabby
. Benteke

I like the look of delph and westwood in midfield partnership, we need to keep the ship tight and add slowly!

main priority experienced defender and left back not to forget we have not had herd, albrighton, gardner virtually all season plus carruthers, grealish, drenan to move up and gain experince, we can not stun our growth?

Agree6 Disagree5

I think Olsson an Loe would be good but Hughes is linked to Man city and Mertens to Liverpool and why buy hi but not have him I the starting line up

Agree4 Disagree7

Will Hughes will want to go to a club where he'll get his fare share of games, if he goes to united or City then he'll be loaned out more than likely or get lost just like sinclair has.

I'd like us to sign Mertens but to start the season i'd stick with Gabby, I think he's earned that, but mertens is a better player than gabby so will take his position at some point

Agree17 Disagree1

Ed, you heard any rumours or talk about Lambert seeing PSV
LB Erik Pieters as a potential signing? {Ed001's Note - I was told you were watching Willems from them, but that might have been conjecture and it be Pieters you are actually watching. You have defo had scouts watching their games though, so could well be, there has been interest in a number of their players from England recently. Just off the top of my head Wijnaldum, Pieters, Willems, Engelaar, Mertens, Matavz, Strootman, Toivonen and Lens have all been inquired about in recent years!}

Agree12 Disagree0

Would mertens sign for us? If he would we should defiantly sign him as he has been excellent creatively in everdise this season

Agree3 Disagree0

Wouldn't want Sinclair as well as Phillips, waste of money

Thats like saying you don't want Downing with ashley young and Milner wait a second we had all 3 and a class team back then

Agree3 Disagree3

Villa now on 33 points and need probably 6 points to be safe out of the 18 points on offer and we have a relistic chance of taking 9-12 points out of our remaining matches
with Sunderland, Norwich and Wigan looking beatable and we have a chance against Fulham

13 Apr 2013 v Fulham (H)
22 Apr 2013 v Manchester United (A)
29 Apr 2013 v Sunderland (H)
4 May 2013 v Norwich (A)
12 May 2013 v Chelsea (H)
19 May 2013 v Wigan (A)

Up the Villa and strenghen the back 4 and add width for next season

Believable10 Unbelievable0

Can see us taking points off
fulham
sunderland
norwich
and wigan

Agree7 Disagree6

Man united fan here just checking up as villa my second team I think Norwich might be a dead weight think villa will lose at Norwich. But really think villa have the better chance over Sunderland. Ideally qpr reading and Sunderland go down :)

Agree2 Disagree2

Looking at fixtures I think chelsea league will be dead and they might have a fa cup and europa league final to play so might rest a few by our games and we could fight a point out it
