Lambert is apparently keen to add up and coming Ajax powerhouse Thulani Serero to his ranks, along with Wilfried Zaha of Crystal Palace.

As much as I would like to see both of these players in the claret and blue of villa next year i really can't see it happening. Serero is in the 1st year of his contract at Ajax and west ham look likely to sign Zaha

Would Zaha prefer a team who has always played in the prem. Or a club that could go back to the championship in their first season. {Ed043's Note - west ham do look likely to sign him at this point however there are other premier league teams in the hunt for this young star so it is likely that if he was to join an established side he would look more to the likes of liverpool}

Reports say lambert is ready to move for joey Barton. He believes he can tame the midfielder and would bring some valuable experience and beef to our midfield. Personally think he would be a great addition and weather you like or hate him you have to say he would bring something villa have been lacking the past season or two. Negotiations are on going for El Ahmadi but looks close to done deal. There is also continued interst in Kyle naughton but any deal depends on Tottenham manager and also Osasuna's Senagaleese striker Balde. There is also rumours of interest in Vargas again however a problem surrounding transfer fee fiorentina want £12 million however villa are prepared to pay between 8-9 million. Could see a bid for Lescott aswell apparently does not feature in city's plans ( dont know why? Hes quality!) and is a Villa fan! Things are looking up!

I think its risky to spend a lot on a striker who has not played in the premiership, surely that kind of money would pick up a decent striker, Defoe maybe?

Lescott would be a good addition we could build a defence around him, I really want Dunne to be sold, he has not looked like he wants to play for us for a long time. Collins too.

Getting shot of Hutton was great but Barton would be hell!
he is a calamity waiting to occur!

Not shot of Hutton yet! Doubt we will be able to move him on and fear we will be lumbered

Barton is a very good player and would have shut Pirlo down for england the other night,. At times he is a loose canon but i think he does recieve a lot of stick when there are bigger w*****s in the game. Barton wins a lot of tackles and is one of the most successful forward passers of the ball in the Premier league. I would be happy for him to come to the Villa and when the crowd watch him regularily they will see how effective he is.

Barton is a complete tit, no way never

2up. Is that you Barton, talking about yourself?
