Lambert has apparently set his sights on Omar Abdulrahman, would be a real shock if he pulls this move off!

Looks absolute class skills like ronaldinho leighton vtid

His not ready for the prem belhanda is mush better

Get both to replace ireland and bannan

I can't think of a more unlikely type of player PL would try to sign.

I agree lambert would not want abdulrahman very good with ball but would NOT keep up with pace and physicality of prem no way.

Andy Carroll plus 5 m for benteke

Lolz - 10-15m and Carroll from another mid table team and maybe Villa would accept.5m is chicken feed, you pay him that in wages every season.

As to whether he would want to play for Liverpool - I doubt it. If he did he would prove himself a mercenary and leave next summer for someone else's outcast plus 5m no doubt

Andy carroll plus 5m for Bent!

Sources in Denmark suggest that Aston Villa have had a £3million offer rejected for Ivorian-born defender Jores Okore, who plays for Nordsjaelland in his adopted country.

Aston Villa midfielder Barry Bannan is emerging as a loan target for Championship side Leicester City, despite breaking back into the first-team at the end of last season

And Villa have slapped a 40m price tag on Benteke to attempt to fend off bidders wanting to snap Benteke up on the cheap

Not sure about Okore bid although it is in danish papers. However all is true in that post except leicster city I don't know that for sure but a prem or championship loan is what Bazza needs

Paul Lamberts top transfer targets for 2013/14 season are:
Younes Belhanda - creative playmaker to assist Benteke
Jores Okore - Rock solid at the back to play with Vlaar
Aaron Cresswell - To replace the shakey Bennett. Very similar to Lowton.
Aleksandar Tonev - young and creative highly rated by petrov

"The French side have slapped a £12million price tag on the midfielder who has told Villa he is ready to snub Inter Milan, AC Milan, Atletico Madrid and Galatasaray to sign for them. "
Seems Belhanda is looking more likely with every passing day!

I heard we are looking at bringing in Danny Rose instead of Cresswell, but Cresswell would be a good addition & would push Bennett.

Thanks for a very insightful post.

Nice list, it would be exciting to start 13/14 with these players, personally I would like to see Murphy & Cornelius rather than Belhanda at AVFC.

Danny rose would be a great signing. (i know people will disagree) but i'm not sure left back is as much of a priority as we think. we got bennett who I don't think is that bad and will get better also we have young stevens who was ok til he got injured and although they're cb's clark and baker can both slot in at lb to an acceptable level if needed aswell.

I would not want danny rose playing for Villa

I disagree, the leftback position is very important. As we don't play with any wingers, our full backs are the only source of width for us. So a good left back in the mould of lowton, would give us good balance. Also a strong centre back is needed as we leaked way to many goals.

Agree with baker filling in at cb but for you to put that Bennett ain't that bad is laughable it really is! He stuck out like an inept sore thumb that put loads of pressure on Clark and vllar.
If you want confirmation of this then watch us against man u from the kick off and you will see what the rest of the league see's!

I don't agree with the statement that Baker and Clark can play LB to an acceptable level and feel a new LB is as much a priority as a new CB. Not necessarily to come in and kill Bennets chances but to enhance his game. Cresswell and Bennett vying for that 'Number 3 Shirt' can only be good for us.

Unfortunately Enda Stevens just isn't good enough for this level.

Why not mate?surely all villa fans want a better squad and rose would be our no. 1 left back if signed.

Benteke won't be there by all accounts so I wouldn't start planning who will be playing with him just yet!

If you look at where teams attack most against a Villa side, its all on the left as their wingers target Bennett which pushes Sylla back to help Bennett.

What happened to the Luke Murphy Deal as well?

Which team have you been watching? Sylla always plays on right side of the 3 central midfielders. Not sure how he gets pushed back to help Bennett from there?

Delph should be pushed back but he's too busy missing sitters xD

Dont diss delph please lol he will be our best player in a few years providing he stays injury free
