Have it on good authority that two players are coming in - Joe Bennett (Boro), left back and Christian Benteke (Genk), centre forward.

2 world class players there
Agree5

You think bennet an benteke are world class?? Lmfao!! Or is that sarcasm. If you think there world class, how would you describe messi an ronaldo? Haha
Agree7

Young and improving.
Agree5
Disagree3
Just a guess here but I think it was sarcasm pal. Give your head a wobble
Agree6
Disagree3
Well apparently if you scroll down Benteke has signed for a Turkish team so doubt it's true
Agree3
Disagree5
No actually benteke hasn't signed for any1! He's still at genk
Agree4
Disagree2
GIve hid head a 'wobble'? lol. I think that's why he asked if it was sarcasm. Haha
Agree5

Really??
Is that why Benteke played for Genk last night???
Agree4
Disagree2
I would be suprised if they say no player what was target was available and we sign nobody, If we dont we are inserious relegation contenders ihate to say this.
Agree5
Disagree0
Either way. Messi and ronaldo are beyond world class! Effectively anybody playing for a half decent international team are classed as 'world class' messi and ronaldo are untouchable, they are the best in the world.

8 days and counting... Yes I do understand the mechanics involved, 1 deal starts the domino effect.
Here's the question ?, are we going to cause the domino effect by bagging a big name we desperately need or are we the ones who are going to be picking up the end bits ?.
Real big question is what are Villa's intentions going to be... Either we send out a warning shot and everyone know that we have real ambition to challenge spots 5-8 or are we going to try our luck and see if we get there by signing 2nd rated players. The German scout is key.. Can he bag us a gem ?
Tomorrow will be 7 days to go, and before you know it we are going to be glued to SS on the 31st hoping for a miracle.
Hope I am wrong on the latter but still say sack Faulkner.
UTV...!!

Made similar post some weeks ago and was shot down for being negative. Its black & white PL is under the Lerner and Faulkner spell. He will probably be allowed to sign one significant player as a show of ambition by the ugly sisters, but he will not be sanctioned for anything else till January. I wonder if PL knew what he was letting himself into when he left Norwich??
Agree4
Disagree3
The earlier post regarding 8 days to go was spot on. Not negative but cold fact. Get passed today and we have a match weekend so no chance of new names coming in then.
We then go to Monday and before you know it we are 4 days away.
Clear fact is we need replenishing at the back, prob need a winger and definently a Beardsley esq type of forward to link play between midfield and wingers.
Who we get if we do will certainly set the marker for where we are heading.
Villa can be a real resurgent force, we have a young ambitios manager, great youth team and a fantastic fan base.
Not looking forward to squeaky bum time on the 31st, hope I am wrong and that Faulkner has enough time to read the " how to buy a player" manual in time.
PL needs backing, he has fans on side but just the thought of getting beat by Everton on Saturday may burst our bubble and cause panic purchases which will inevitably conclude where our ambitions lie.
Come on Villa !!

RL aint going to give PL any more money to spend. RL aint bothered what happens to the Villa. Most of the players mentioned over the last few weeks have gone to other clubs. First thing we ned to get is a chairman who as the bottle to dip his hand in his wallett. Another season of dissatisfaction.

I am a Norwich fan and was gutted to see Lambert leave, I thought it's understandable moving to a bigger club with more ambition and funds....after reading posts on this site I think the ambition (from the board) and the funds available are smaller than he would have had at Norwich. The key to Lamberts sucsess has been young talent from the lower leauges, at Norwich he had the oppertunity to build the squad over 3 years in 3 different leauges, with Villa he has got to work with what he has been left from one of the worst managers ever to grace the PL. I know yopu Villa fans have big hopes but i feel you will struggle this season with a finish about 16th.

£5m for benayoun? Lmao. How old is he? 31yo? Yet PL isnt prepared to pay the same for brahimi? Dont see him wasting £5m on a 31yo

What a signing that would be? thats a joke, right? £5m would be awful business. doesnt fit in with PL's transfer policy either

Would be good to replace Ireland and would be nice to see a very clever player at villa park
Agree3

How would berbatov for a replacement for ireland?! different types of players!
Agree8

And different positions on the pitch. Dempsey would be a good replacement for ireland

Is it true miroslav klose wants to come to the prem? If so i dont think he would go to one of the top 5 clubs as he surely wants to be playing regular football, Ideal strike partner for Bent I say
Believable5
Unbelievable12
He would not add anything different we need strikers that can go past players two footed and can score. Konate
Agree5
Disagree2
Well its all very well and good saying konate when hes just signed for someone else! what about wagner love?
Agree4
Disagree1
Klose is to similar to bent! Both pure goal scorers, not to mention he's 35 ish. We need a forward who has more flai on the ball who's capable of linking the mid with the front line, klose is not that type of player. >scg87
Agree9
Disagree2
Konate who has recently signed a new 3 year deal with a Russian club?
Agree4
Disagree0
Where is vagner love now? In brazil or is he still in russia? was brillian 3-4 years back when he scored loads of goals in russia but havnt seen him play in a couple years. Anyway, where ever he is he's likely on over £100k a week out of or league

Paul Lambert has asked Paul Faulkner for funds so he can sign Jermain Defoe from tottenham and stephen warnock will be sent out on loan to blackburn and they can sign permanetly at te end of the season and martin olsson will come our way for 4 mil

Why would PL need to ask for transfer funds? I reckon he would have been told the budgit before signing on as boss

Villa to sign another 4 before the end of the window. Martin olsson will come from blackburn with warnock going the other way. Defoe will come in as will kenwyne jones with hutton going to stoke. Dawson may be on lamberts radar with talks between him and QPR breaking down and PL is also monitoring dempseys situation at fulham
Believable5
Unbelievable9
Complete rubbish. Absolutely no way we are going to pay aprox 9m for a 28 yr old injury prone CD who is likely to want 50k+ per week. Same goes for Dempsey, what is he 29/30 ?

Agree0

I've got a mate apparently in the know and berbatovs on his way so might have been him
Agree2
Disagree7
I think the fans would know who Jones or Defoe was
Agree5
Disagree1
Berbatov himself came out and said that he won't go anywhere unless the team plays in the champions league! He might want 1st team, but also wants champs league and until that team comes in for him he's obviously happy earning a fat wage on the bench
