Sneijder to Villa would be the modern equivalent of Tommy Lawton moving to Notts County.

It would be the equivalent of Mazrim moving to my navel.

I presume at some point today Lambert will be having a press conference ahead of tomorrow's game so he'll no doubt get asked about any transfer activity. Let's hope he has some encouraging news.

Pretty sure along what lines it will go.

"It's very difficult. We may do something. It's very hard. Money is tight. We keep going. It's very difficult."

replace "we may do something" with "we're trying to get one or two in" and I think you're mostly right.

He's hardly going to spill the beans at a pre-match interview.

No obviously not, but he could always say something along the lines of 'we're close to doing something'. He dose'nt need to do an Arry and mention names.

Judging from all the knicker wetting going on at the time the baby faced United supersub was the fan's choice

Solskjaer was a 'left field' choice that had entered nobody's thoughts, was a craze for a time and then petered out when he turned us down.  Before he came along Lambert was the fans choice.  When the possibility of him joining Villa was suddenly ended, Lambert was agin the fans choice.

Why does he have to say anything? I'd much prefer us to quietly get on with any business and announce it when theres something concrete.

Someone on twitter said they heard we are holding emergency talks with RDM on Radio WM.

[PaulWinch again]

We're holding talks with him on the radio? that seems a bit indiscreet.

We need new players, not a change of manager.

Brill.. Clappy hands sign.

£5m bid for Danny Graham apparently

[Phil from the upper holte]

Sunderland or us?

[Mazrim]

"Allo Roberto, Allo Roberto. This is Aston calling. Paul has a blue kite. Paul has a blue kite.
The dogs howl at the fence. Randolph has a itchy beard. Randolph has an itchy beard."

[DerHammer]

Sunderland or us?

I've been told it's by us.
