Benteke, Weimann and Lowton all in talks with Paul Lambert on signing new deals

Lowton might stay with you. but the other two will not

Says a man in the know I suppose?
I wish people would keep idle speculation confined to the teams they actually support
Mendax

I wouldn't be that upset with weimann he just seems arrogant

Benteke has denied wanting to leave & him with Weimann are in final stages of sorting new contracts along with Matty Lowton.
Shows how much you know!

I have it on good authority that Norwich have been in touch and made a bid for Wiemann, and being a former youth player he won't cost to much, and Norwich being in a position to tempt him away

All three will stay, however benteke will leave after next season-- he has said previously that he feel a lot of gratitude towards lambert as we took a gamble on a player who only had one good season. all the other thing about him saying he wants to leave is bull& twisted

Weimann too Norwich Is a hilarious suggestion

Wiemann has been linked with Norwich for 6 months now. Plus Norwich have a lot more money

Funniest story ever why on earth would weimann go norwich?cant stop laughin. where u hear ya liar?haha

Norwich do NOT have more money than randy lerner multi billionaire

Lets be fair, they'd signed RVW so they must be rich remember.

Norwich are owned by a crazy cookery lady named Delia Smith. Villa are owned by a man who sold a franchise in the USA for $1 billion this year - now explain please to me how Norwich seem rich compared to us!
Norwich have probably been looking at the Weimann who plays in Serie B who sits on the bench every match.

Makes no Difference how much the Owner has, the question is How much will he give Lambert to spend

Its already been said that the Money to buy RVW is from last years budget and is also said that around the £35mil mark is to be set aside for next season, Sort of blows Lambert's Lack of funds report out of the water, probably Norwich didn't trust him with big money spending is the real reason he stormed out, guess no one apart from him and Norwich will ever know the reason for his departure, we as fans can draw our own Conclusions,

More money? How many cook books do you think she's sold haha.

In the last two seasons alone we've spent enough to be able to buy norwich's starting 11, not that we'd want to. Then again norwich are rich compared to the poor farmers over there!

Conclusions, Norwich have spent two season in the premiership. Dated stadium which holds 16,000 less and hosts no extra income events, much poorer facilities and they expect to spend a few quid and do something. Its quite funny really. Even more funny come January next season when they are near the bottom of the league

Lambert will be given money if a player is worth it - he didn't spend his whole budget from last summer he openly admits that.

Delia Smith is worth £23m & her husband is worth £14.5m.
If we spent Smith's worth on Darren Bent alone, please explain how you have better finance than villa!
£35m? that'd clean her out!

Norwich owners are worth a total of around £37m, Lerner is worth £1500m, who is richer than!
Because in all honesty i'm not seeing how you think Norwich have more money than Villa!

This is the most tragically pitiful debate I have seen on here. From both signs of the argument
Mendax

Norwich actually increased their home attendance last season so they possibly have some more money to spend. Sixty six extra supporters went through the gates of the carrot patch putting approx. £1000 in the till. Not sure if all the extra were Canaires. So there you are, they do have money to spend.

Well said Mendax,

Norwich have limited funds, they are now debt free and aim to stay that way, there will be no massive injections of cash from Delia, we will not spend more than the prem riches offer. Villa should have more gate revenue, but at a guess I would say thier spending on player wages is higher.

Why are norwich always trying to argue with villa about stadium, money, status etc try it with birmingham city its a more even match but even the blues have won more than norwich city

Wer not trying to argue! because stadiums and fans opineons mean jack! Wer both premier league clubs for atleast another season snd that's all that matters!

Regarding Weimann I personally would not want him at Norwich, he seems quite erratic at times and he needs a bit more experience in the top flight before moving to anyone. he's better off staying at Villa and growing there. which I believe he will do!

You poor Villa fans, you Can't have a conversation without twisting words and try to make yourselves look intelligent, The original post was not about the wealth of owners it was the amount of money entrusted to the manager to spend in the next transfer window, Norwich will not build a 35-40. 000 seated stadium at this early stage, Other clubs have done so and been smacked in the face, Stability comes first. We will not be in the bottom 3 by January, Last season we were there for 1 week and that was due to a different play day, you on the other hand were around that bottom spot for most if not all of the season.

Norwich fans stick by what we have and stay till the final whistle, when you lot are live on tv most of you stay at home, we are packed out every home game and take full quote of fans to away matches.

And what makes people think Delia and Michel only have £35mil between them? this is a myth they are worth more than that they are wise and keep personal matters away from public

Okay if the orignal post was about how much money we'll have to spend, I'd bet you my house we spend more money than you. Not that I care in the slightest who spends what! As for the poster above, you're being ridiculous saying you wouldn't want weimann, norwich have possibly the worst attack in the league, they'd kill for somebody decent up there! The only reason you're saying you don't want him is because there is absolutely no chance of it happening. Weimann is far to good for norwich, and too good for villa atm!

Does it really matter that Lerner is worth £1500 million, he does not seem to interested on spending it on the club. I don't know too much about Lerners history, is he a life long fan of Villa?

Lerner supported Villa from when he was in university & he has tried spending big & it just collided with the timing of the Man Cit£h buyout.

Remind where Villa finished in the league vis a vis Norwich

ASTON VILLA FC. Leaked!
#AVFC in talks over Memphis Depay as a replacement for Nzogbia/Ireland

He would be a good signing. Very creative player.

Really? With his team mate Dries Merten? Can't see it but would love it!

How old and who's he play for?

19 & PSV

Both Mertens (26) Depay (19) play for PSV.

19 years old winger plays for PSV

Leaked where exactly? On here? I love coming to read this site but 99% of the stuff posted never comes good. so why say leaked?

I would love the signing if true but this is the first I've heard of it all. let alone leaked info
