Lambert will go for Luke Murphy and Aaron Creswell for CM and LB. Would leave us needing a CB (Dragovic linked) and a CAM/foward. Dries Mertens, Shaun Maloney anyone? Expect a surprise signing from Europe. hopefully Lambert will pull off another player in Benteke's class

Not sure Lambert will quite manage to find someone of Benteke's quality every season.

Mertens is a quality attackin mid predominantly but can easily play on the either wing and as a 2nd striker not an out and out striker by any means. where did u hear that he might be coming villa park?would love to see him link up with his belgian counterpart benteke. but how much will he cost?

Nobody guessed any of lamberts signings.
I know he is a fan of cresswell Ipswich. liam bridcutt brighton. both young and hungry. they fit the mold. just hope we find another centre back. left back. young gk. centre mid. att.
and key contracts are sorted first as a priority.

Adilson Tavares Varela has agreed a deal with Sunderland, we miss the boat on that one. Bas Dost has been found out in Germany, he simply ain't good enough. The De Jong brothers would be a better bet but. Can't see them down VP.

Lambert relays to much on scoring goals. He is not good as a defence minded tactician. He hasn't a defensive coach and relies too much on attacking football. His second season is bound to be worse than his first. Apart from Norwich look at his past managerial record. He will jump ship at the first opportunity.
