The Premier League ain't La Liga. The first quality you need to survive is physical strength and endurance, so if the new lad has enough of that he should be OK.

True, and hopefully Lambert has learned that by now after watching his mostly useless signings getting taken to the cleaners in every game.

What are we crying out for - proven Premier League standard players to get us out of this god awful mess. What has Lambert given us - an unknown French youngster from the lower leagues.
It's like a bad fuckin dream.

Yes, it isn't the best news, but will you at least give the player 10 mins to see.

Just like he gave us an unknown 21 yr old Belgian from the lower leagues ?

Don't forget, though, *all* of Lambert's signings are crap.

Pat Murphy said we've paid £2m for Sylla, who's a six-foot, very physical DCM, and that there's at least one other "iron in the fire." Let's hope so, but it's good news at last!

Thinking of the 'Bent to Stoke' talk, I would hope that in the event that the deal brings one of theirs to VP it's N'Zonzi we're asking for and not Charlie effing Adam!

At least Adam can take corners.

Guzan, Vlaar, Westwood, Lowton and   Benteke = most?

Bit early to say that , 25 hours to go.

Christ I hope he's got something up his sleeve or we're in the championship next season.

Are you counting Guzan as one of his? He was only out of contract, it's not as if Lambert had to do much in order to land him.

Out of the others, I'd only say Benteke was a good signing. We're not in the doldrums for no reason.

He still had to sign Guzan, and at a time when there was scarcely a clamour for his signature. We're where we are because of the players who were already here, not the new ones.

We are 2nd bottom and can't buy a win, its difficult to defend against those who criticize the team Lamberts bought.

Napoli and QPR also in for him.

I'd say the chances there are slim to none.
