think it is a mistake to give Lambert more funds in Jan, he has always been a really success full manager with his previous teams with very little funds, all the time he is looking forward to fix the problems with new signings, in the past he has not really had the luxury of money to buy his way out of trouble, therefore fix the problems with what you have, Lambert has proved in the past he is capable of getting the best out of players, when he was at Norwich there were no individual superstars but as a unit they were fantastic, really worked for each other and the manager.
I think buying in top players on top wages will only make the up and coming players feel inferior, stick with what you have, get rid of the top earners (with the big egos) replace them with hungry players that want to play.....It sounds cruel but a year in the Championship will really sort you out, get rid of all the dead wood, bring the wages down and build a team that will fight together to return to the Prem..
Look at Norwich, we were at a real low point, now we are back in the prem and take nothing for granted, we came back stronger than ever....

Hey Chelsea fan here, i agree with all of that 8-0 was so harsh full credit to him has a manger for not shutting up shop even though i think the next 2-3 years look like its going to be a hard watch i think you still have to much quality to go down and he is a good manager with such a young team the future could end up being rather bright.

Hopefully he takes Hutton on a perm. Dunne as well. Albrighton 5m would be decent
Agree8

Warnock to west ham
Dunne to new york red bulls
Bent to fulham/qpr

Makoun open to offers
Hutton making his deal perminent and Bannan to follow him to forrest

Fulham don't want Bent & Villa wouldn't sell him to QPR (relegation rivals).

joleon lescott is up for sale for 8m according to city but pl only given 10m in january but i think we nned lescott an england international to guide young clark and baker him and big ron would be solid to sort out our current defencife woes
Believable13
Unbelievable2
Would be a great addition , brummie boy and a villa fan. go and get him villa
Agree14

We play with three cb's ATM cuz vlaar n dunne are injured and none of the others are experienced enough. If we have lescott that's three left footed CBS and I'm sure most managers prefer a right and left
Agree5
Disagree6
Oh ok if we have a chance of getting lescott lets pass on it as he's left footed

according to the page scot parker is interested in coming in to the club a good asset im sure

Would love Parker an lescott an villa park but can't believe parker would leave spurs for us. An lescotts wages would be a big problem for us, he'd have to take a 50percent pay cut which is hard to believe any1 would do that in any walk of life. Scg87

Parker I would love wish he didn't go spurs instead of us

He wont leave london he'd sign for qpr, watford, carlton before us

Maybe you can add to you post who you think will buy these players, face it all of these players are on extreme wages, they are not bothered about playing either. No other club will be stupid to pay the kind of wages they are on, face it you are stuck with them draining your funds...
Agree5

N what makes you think benteke cares so much about our club? Truth is very few players care about the club, there mostly in it for themselves, with the exception of the academy players. Scg87
Agree8

You are really luck to have so many academy players coming through, stick with them as tey are not in it for the money......(yet)
Agree5

I think Benteke just needs to learn he is not necessarily in the XI every week too.
Then he'll have to push even harder ;)

Need two quaity midfielders, a hard tackling defensive player plus a creative attacking player, together with an experienced CB to stop the kids panicing when we go behind. Ireland is awful and needs to be sold and Bannan just isn't cutting it, proof of that was their terrible performances against Wigan.
Most importantly we need players who will give 150% for the cause not ones who simply turn up and take the money !

Apparently Aton Villa are showing an interest in striker Joselu from 1899 Hoffenheim
Believable2
Unbelievable8
He signed for Hoffenheim in the summer for £5 million. No chance he would be on the move yet. At least not for the money we could offer.

Maybe we're monitoring him for next season? I saw the same link with Swansea also in the frame to sign him up.

Players going:
Dunne
Bent 10 mil plus if we're lucky
Hutton
Warnock
Players in:
Aubumeyang
Zaha
Lescott
A reliable source has told me these, however what we need is strength and depth with cm's. We don't play wingers apart from wing backs. Go back to 4 at the back with a strong ball winning midfielder and villa will be back on track. {Ed002's Note - After a year at St Etienne Aubameyang has attracted the attention of Fiorentina, Manchester City, Manchester United, Zenit St Pete, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Spurs and PSG, probably amongst others. He has said in the past the one day his dream would be to return to play with a great Milan side. I didn't see him leaving the Geoffroy-Guichard in January but I understand that if a significant bid is made that St Et will give it due consideration. Such a bid is being pondered by Fiorentina. Crystal Palace will look to hold on to Zaha until the summer and if they get promoted perhaps after that too. He was to be allowed to move this past summer at the right price with Sunderland, West Ham and Reading look possible destinations. Liverpool have certainly looked at Zaha in the past but there is strong interest from Arsenal and Manchester United and perhaps even interest from Spurs. Game time will no doubt be a factor in the short-term.}}

Reports this morning say that PL will only have £10m to spend in jan. Not enough!! Scg87

If we lack PL experience, why would we sell Bent & bring in Zaha?
I'd rather we sell Ireland
