Interesting 1 for other villa fans
i've been thinking why dont villa buy a couple talented young players who wont cost that much but have the ability to step up such as
ince,zaha,rhodes,phillips but
when you look at the previous youngsters villa have bought in young, milner, delph and stevens we have a hit and miss ratio

so the question do villa invest for the future or 25-28 yr olds who have experience but may not be any good i.e el ahmadi {Ed043's Note - this is a fair question to ask however with some of the young talent we have had and have progresed beyond villa with the likes of young, milner, barry and cahill to name a few. it seems as if the positives out way the negatives because villa are re-building the side to climb the table so we cant expect a quick fix so maybe looking at the likes of rhodes whilst adding experience can be a good thing}

Delph hasn't being a bad buy but has had injury problems, if he can complete a hole season we could see him get player of the year, while Stevens hasn't played a game yet so you can't really give judgement on him but do agree we should go for younger more electric players in the wide and forward positions while getting more experienced players through the spine of the team to have a nice balance

Agree8 Disagree2

Villa dont have a future
We will only sign no bodies
a difficult season for a new manager who will not have time to build a side like he did at norwich

Agree2 Disagree16

Villa dont have a future???
Your either not a villa fan or well no your just not a villa fan.
Our future is villa be it in this league or the local sunday league, this team is who we follow through thick and thin.
I feel this is going to be a great season and its a new fresh start. No season is ever easy as they call it the premier league for a reason.
Just either realise why you love the villa or get a man city shirt.

Agree11 Disagree1

I have a real buzz around Lambert & how things are shaping.
I just hope he signs a few more attacking options e.g Rhodes &/or Ince.
Irish football fans used to call Stevens the next big thing in Ireland & was known as the best player in their league last season before January.
We have to give Stevens time & look at Delph & give the lad a go!

Is Benejamin Siegrist any good? {Ed043's Note - he is still a very young goalkeeper who has a lot of time to really become a good keeper however we have seen that young keepers such as hart or butland have shown promise early in his career so only time will tell if he can burst through the villa ranks}

Seigrist is excellent. Presence, good positioning and great agility. Watch highlights of reserves in last years 'Nextgen Comp' on villa website.

Agree6 Disagree1

Do we think we should buy another experienced keeper or let Siegrist be the next number 1?

Agree7 Disagree0

Watched a few NextGen games & Siegrist is top class!
Has a very bright future & is worth a punt that in 5 years he will be Villa's #1.

Agree5 Disagree0

Why the hell are people writing off shay given? He kept us up last season and just cause he had a few bad games in the euro's you all want him replaced?!

Id be happy to see siegrist move up to number 2 and for him to learn off shay for the next 12 months before we consider making him number 1

Agree8 Disagree0

Dont know why people get on shays back because of the euros. He kept us up for gods sake

Agree4 Disagree0
