Another one who has really good technique, we're going to be an excellent sie once all these lads settle, having a squad full of players who are good on the ball, work hard and can grow together is really exciting, much happier with this than with signing cast offs and players from the relegated sides.
My guess is that Lambert is content with the 11 that played well at the end of last season, confident that them alone would get 14-16th. With that confidence I'd imagine that these players will be considered squad players rather than first teamers.

I think it's going to be a nightmare for some players facing up to people like Sylla, Okore, Gabby and (hopefully) Benteke next season.

By Mat Kendrick Leandro Bacuna would love to become Aston Villa’s answer to Chelsea’s Frank Lampard. Bacuna, who has arrived on a three-year deal, claims the Chelsea legend is the English player he most admires. “I’m a player who plays box-to-box, I like to run and I look to shoot,” said Bacuna, who has joined for an undisclosed fee from Dutch club Groningen. “Conditioning is a big thing, too, and I look forward to doing my best for Villa. “As far as heroes are concerned, I have a lot of heroes, people like Messi and Ronaldo. But they are in a different league. Players such as Frank Lampard, they fight and they show themselves and I’m a type of player like that. “I’m fully focused to show myself at my new club. My mentality is that you start at the bottom and you show yourself. This is what I intend to do.” Bacuna, who is 21 and is a Dutch under-21 international, is excited to be joining Paul Lambert’s emerging young claret and blue squad and is relishing the challenge of proving himself in the Premier League. “It feels great,” he added. “It’s a new beginning for me, a new step and I’m looking forward to being part of this young, hungry team we have at Villa. “This is a dream come true for me and also for my parents who are delighted for me. It’s a tremendous league to be a part of, the Premier League, and we want to show that Aston Villa can take its place among the top teams. “I’m really excited to come here. Villa Park looks magnificent and the training facilities at Bodymoor Heath are first class. I’m really impressed with the set-up here and I’m proud to be a part of this club. “The manager is trying to create a new generation, to build something here and make a lot of young guys show what they can do. I’m up for the challenge. “For every player who’s coming in, it’s good to find themselves in a team and an environment such as this. We will get the opportunity to show that we want to play and what we can do. It’s always good to try to better yourself.”
@MatKendrick: Bacuna would love to become a Dutch version of Lampard. "Players like that fight and show themselves and I’m a type of player like that."
