Who do you think will be the first signing!?

Look abroad please Mr Lambert. I don't mind a couple of players from England but looking further afield is the way to go for long term success.

Could do worse than Dean Cox of LO. Fast exciting speedy and clever. He reminds me of Micky Wright!

I expect he'll give himself a couple of months working with what he's inherited and then bring in a few players just before the window shuts. Although in the meantime he'll probably need to sign up a keeper on the cheap and there's 14 or so of them available on the Premier League released list.

i dont know , he will have seen how crap we are from the last day of the season

Sub goalie - Kuszcak or howevever you bloody spell it for me. Outfield, Rodallega replaces Heskey, Tom Ince as the Jenas replacement, and pay the big bucks to get Boswinga over Alan Bastard Hutton !

Clyne - palace

yes. Palace fans I know rave about him. They insist he's premiership quality, though I always wonder what they know about that

[Pete3206]

I'd love it if they could tempt Robbie Keane back.

Indeed.  Second time he's beaten a team then taken a job there before the next match!

Grant Holt seems to be favourite - but we have had bad experience with 'older' forwards.

However - as unconvinced as I was - i watched this ...

[ Invalid YouTube link ]

and now I'm not so underwhelmed.

Solid - hardworking - with an eye for goal and - won't cost the earth on transfer or wages. 

Not to bad to have in your bag I would've thought.

Apologies for the soundtrack

[Summers]

Holt will be at Wet Spam.

[old man villa fan]

I am surprised that many of you have mentioned strikers and attacking midfield players.  Surely, the emphasis of spend this summer should be on defence and central midfield.

[damon loves JT]

Holt will be at Wet Spam.

yes, and good luck to him. he has earned his chance of a decent payday.

I don't mind us going for Holt, so long as the fee and contract reflect his age. We cannot allow the club to go down the route of having older players on long term contracts with high wages again...

Topic - Who do you think will be the first signing!?

Does that explain it?

[MadJohnnyC]

At 4:04 in the above video Holt does the sliding knees thing on dry ground and is made to look a right knob !!
