I expect to see Ireland, Bent, Given and Dunne all cleared from the wage bill in the summer, which would free up around £12/13 million a year in wages.

A couple of that should be pumped into a new deal for Benteke.

But if you take the £12/13 million figure and then that gives us a lot of wiggle room to get a lot of players in, ones who might contribute to the squad next season. We could probably get 5 or 6 decent players in and still make a saving on wages.

Thinking back to the millwall pmt, didn't someone say that there was a tweet from somebody who'd overheard lambert referring to someone as a useless c*#t? He's right, he is. Match stats from two and a half years of the kind which we'd expect from a player of his undoubted talent to amass in ONE GAME. Wastrel of unprecedented magnitude.

Just know he will be quality at another club.

I doubt it. He's your classic 'one season wonder'. I've never rated him, and I think he's pound for pound one of the worst signings this club has ever made. The most mind boggling part of the deal is that he was signed while we were manager-less.  So who signed him, Lerner, Faulkner, the bloke who cuts the grass? Absolute madness, and it's just another in a long line of bonkers decisions this club has made under Lerner over the last few years.
Even after saying that though I still think its wrong of Lambert to be alienating senior players while we're in this dangerous predicament. We may need Ireland at some stage in this relegation run in, so why do this now? Another pathetic decision by Lambert.
you have totally contradicted yourself in your hatred for lambert there. ireland is a leech, wanker, waste of a good sperm and a disgraceful signing by the club, though you still feel lambert is wrong to make him train with the kids when he , in your opinion be of use to the club!

well i think this paracite needs to be as far away from the first team as quickly as possible as he is a bad egg and isnt with the rest as they embarque on a fight to stay up.

i managed to go pitchside during the prematch warm up and routines and ireland just fucked about whilst all the others were trying to get their focus. he was laughing, half doing the drills and generally fucking about making comments. karsa several times had to just say his name to get him to concentrate. reminds me of my sons under 8 team. he is a wanker, get rid or keep away, whatever. Just dont let him near the positivity as he will infect it with his poison!

Trouble is Lerner will pocket the savings and just go out and sign more lower league players on low wages. That's where the club is heading under Lerner.

First of all I don't hate anyone let alone Lambert. Secondly we need every senior player at the club on our side ready to put shift in. This is the worst predicament this club been in for decades so the last thing we need is for the manager to alienate players who we may need to call on at some stage of the relegation run in.
Lambert's man-management is absolutely appalling.

I think most of us will agree man management is not his forte. In my opinion his the way he has treated a professional goalscorer like Darren Bent is shocking.

I genuinely hope we never have to suffer him in a Villa shirt again, and I though he would be great when he signed. He will be in the Championship or below inside 2 years. See Bentley. D.

Yes, with Villa, A.

I have to agree with Rutski, I cannot understand your position, as it seems very contradictory.

You cannot state that Ireland is a waste of space (an accurate assumption in my view) and then decry the manager for his handling of him and that he should be ready to play, when you have previously and quite rightly said that he is a waste of space and should be nowhere near the first XI, such is his lack of contribution.

I'm not a big fan of lambchop but in my view Ireland is unmanageable. He's got the same sort of problem as SVC had or Balotelli. The mistake we've made was a)buying him and b) trying to get anything out of him. I can't see any circumstances where him playing this season will add to our points total

there are a few on here whose agendas are making their view distorted bacause they dont like lambert. this is a thread about one of the most poisonous little fucktards to ever come near a villa shirt. lambert has seen over 2/3rds of this season what he can do positively at this club and has come to the conclusion, like many of us on here, that ireland should have been a wank by his father instead of a fuck on his drunken wife on a saturday night! get rid, keep him away the poisonous little wanker!

Pure poetry !!

I detest Ireland and think he embodies everything that can be wrong with the modern 'footballer'.
 Just recall that photo of him with is shiesha (Sp) pipe, it make you want to vomit.

He has has so many chances and opportunities to 'come good', the last being the Bradford game.
Here was a bloke playing a game against vastly inferior players. He should have had a field day in centre midfield, and been able to totally dominate the game and the occasion. 
Instead, he hid and contributed the sum of fuck all.

A total and utter waste of space and money.
I wouldn't care if we never saw him in a Villa shirt again.

His handling of Bent depends on whether you believe the rumours that he handed in a transfer request before the Spurs game at WHL.

And if Lambert was to play him, he'd be getting pelters from his critics for doing so when he inevitably does fuck all and costs us a game.  I do think this is a case of "If he's made this decision, it must be wrong."  No, it's not - he's got this one spot on and I'd be quite happy to never see him in a Villa shirt again.  The annoying thing is the wanker would be quite happy to never put one on again and just fuck about collecting his £60k a week.
