Coutinhos agent confirms that Villa have come in for his client. However he states that there is no immediate need for the player to leave Inter.
At least this means that Lambert knows we need a playmaker.....if we are to take some heart in this in some way.....

Playmaker is not the priority as all villa fans know, Curtis Davies would be a better bet
Agree2
Disagree11
A cm who adds a bit of bite to the middle is what we need. Although signing him is to good to pass up
Agree5
Disagree1
Curtis Davies.......wow. Must be some good stuff going round where you are living.
Agree11
Disagree4
Granted we need cover at CB, but i don't think there would be half as much pressure on the young lads at the back if we had a "Patrick Veira type" breaking up play and wining it in the air......and also ditching useless wingbacks like Lichaj, Stevens and Bennett
Agree10

We need both a central defender with good PL experience AND a playmaker. We cannot continue to ship goals like we are. If the team I manage on a Sunday morning defended like we did on Tuesday(and all the not so memorable games over Christmas) I'd HAVE to do something about it as it's just basic errors in defending. Don't get me wrong, Bradford and Phil Parkinson did a very good job of setting their team up and they executed a plan(acknowledging that they rode their luck a bit at the start of the game and poor finishing for our chances) but their goals were schoolboy stuff literally and we just couldn't defend them. I'm not going to start on the young lads as, if we can get through this season I truly believe we can start to go places, they more than anyone need a leader on the pitch to look up to. But Lambo needs to find that person in this window or I truly fear for our PL future. I really wouldn't sell Dunne as long he is still committed to the club - I hate to say it, but we need players like him to step up(when he's not injured) and getting Vlaar back now is also crucial.
At the time I never questioned it but I'm really not sure we were right to sell James Collins or let Cuellar go - I really hope this doesn't bite us on the arsenal!

is dunne out for the whole season ?
and does anyone know how long before vlaar is back playing ?
Believable5
Unbelievable4
I don't believe for 1 minute viaar is injured now, i think he has told lambert he won't play in a team full of kids. a calf strain doesn't take this long to heal up.
Agree6
Disagree11
At Vlaar's age (27) calf strains take a long time to get right so that it doesn't happen again. I'm pretty sure he'd rather be playing, trying to stop the rot, than sitting watching
Agree8
Disagree1
Vlaar has a history of long time on the medical bench. Which is why we got him for £2m.

He could be fit tomorrow, god I hope so.

Villa interested in Adam Matthews and Joe Ledley and are planning on using Bannan as bait. Bannan keen on move.
Believable4
Unbelievable3
Bannan will be with mcleish
Agree3
Disagree3
Bannan must have an assist clause in his contract because he tries to thread the needle more times than a taiwanese boy in a Nike sweat shop.....
Agree9
Disagree1
Are you mad bannan is only creative player and can pass a ball maybe if the manager can put him in his right position in midfield then heel be class not as a sittyn midfielder
Agree1
Disagree2
Well where has Lambert been playing Bannan cause every game he has played this season has been in Midfield? Another deluded villa fan.
Bannan is poor. Has had enough time to establish himself but lacks the pace, power, strength, but most importantly, the quality to cut it.
Agree2
Disagree0
No actually I'm mad because we are likely to be relegated and Lambert is yet to find someone to add a bit of grit and stick a foot in from midfield. Bannan and Delph has got to be the worst midfield ever for Villa and worst in the premiership.
Add to that Clark and Baker with Herd and Bennett and that is the worst defense......
That's why I'm mad......
Agree2
Disagree0
Bannan needs a period away on loan to get some confidence. He has only ever known a struggling Villa side in his 2 - 3 years in the 1st team. He offers the defence little protection and they get overrrun. When a defence finds itself so unprotected, mistakes become inevitable as they get tired both physically and mentally. When was the last time we conceded a goal that the other side had to really earn?

David Bentley to come in for villa
Believable3
Unbelievable9
Another showboater ! Showed real potentail at Blackburn, then went to Spurs for the money . Not in it for the love of the game, just the money- BIG NO !
Agree4
Disagree3
All these rumours are so annoying. We need a centre back hopefully Dawson or even samba would be great! Then we need a centre midfielder I think Huddlestone he'd be really good and an attacking midfielder, maybe coutinho.
This is just getting my hopes up but that would be perfect if only lambert and Lerner came on this website
Agree7
Disagree2
I just posted the one about Dawson samba Huddlestone and coutinho. Good news we have made an enquiry about the Brazilian 20year old coutinho!
Agree5
Disagree2
Wouldn't mind bentley we need someone on the left side plus a centre back Dawson would be great defensive mid huddlestone or sissoko and attacking mid hope we get coutinho
Agree0
Disagree3
Samba dawson karl henry someone who has bite in midfield
Agree2
Disagree4
Bentley is rubbish. As the fellow above mentions, attacking mid and a ball winning mid are a must. Sissokko would be great along with this Coutinho. Having a ball winning midfielder would take the pressure off the two CBs.
We still need cover at the back too. Bennett needs to be dropped as he has not looked comfortable with the step up so far. He is a liability.

Reliable source villa set to buy zigic £3.5mill & Cameron jerome£2mill & Dawson £4mill this will happen by the end of next week ready for 2nd leg of cup.
Believable4
Unbelievable11
No chance, Zigic 32 out of contract end of season. Does not fit in with Paul Lamberts way of buying players.
tbh its midfielders and a centre back we need, not more forwards .
Agree7
Disagree2
The only one of them that we'll happen is Dawson the other two r BIG NO NO
Agree6
Disagree2
But aren't they all cup tied ?
Agree4
Disagree1
Zigic are you for real?? His pants
Agree6
Disagree2
Pritty sure all 3 will be cup tied.
Agree3

If that's the case then lambert out Lerner out and to hell with the club.....that would be nothing short of atrocious if these eventuated
Agree8
Disagree1
Villa buy zigic from blues?? Lol what bull!
Agree8

All three are going to happen along with Pablo iminez - David Bentley I know someone who work at villa.

I know its cold, but how blue is your nose?
Wind up merchant for sure. Each onne of those players have some link with the Brum......

Any links to a new leftback other than that Belgian fella? - Joe Bennett is an absolute liability, can we get Warnock back please!
Believable10
Unbelievable6
Bennett is the worst left back i have seen at Villa
Agree13
Disagree7
I'd have to agree - Lambert needs to bite the bullet and either get Warnock back in or play Clark at Left Back.
Agree7
Disagree3
Warnock & Hutton would walk straight back into our team at the moment. Without Vlaar this is the worst defence i have ever seen in all my time watching the Villa. Clarke & Herd are quite possibly thee worst centre halves i have ever seen play the game of football. I am currently teaching my 7yo son's football team how to mark a player - maybe Clarke & Herd should come along and watch..
Agree8
Disagree5
Play Clark LB? Well who plays CB then? Lol
Agree6
Disagree1
I would drive Joe Bennet to any other club to get rid of him. It wasn't just his fault for the goals against Bradford though, Benteke only half cleared for the first 2.
Agree3
Disagree4
I would also drive Bannan to any other club as he wasn't up to much and to blame for the first goal. Not good enough for the Prem
Agree4
Disagree2
If we don't buy proven defenders this month we will be playing in the championship next year. Project youth has failed big time Lambert!
Agree2
Disagree1
How would Hutton walk back into the team seriously, matt lowton has not put a foot wrong this season, all what the kid wants to do is run his heart out for the club and that's exactly what he's doing! Get Bennet out and get a new lb warnock cannot pass a ball straight, some people chat boll**s villa till I die
Agree3
Disagree0
Olsson from blackburn fits the bill perfectly to match lowton, could do with huddlestone to release bannan into a more attacking role delph isnt cutting it and is a good sub nothing more shame his injuries have hindered his progress had great potential
