Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

[Monty]

Nothing wrong with that in principle.  But if he could throw in the odd Lescott, we'd appreciate it

True. However, someone mentioned the old Brian Clough principle - that you should only sign players for whom your club is a step up. I like that a lot.

[Concrete John]

Didn't MON say something similar, again quoting Cloughie?  Problem was that his signings turned out to be mainly sideways moves.

[Monty]

Yeah, MON didn't follow through on that enough. Plus he spent lots of money on rubbish in a way Lambert - hopefully - won't.

Although he did sign Dave Mackay from Spurs when he was at Derby...
I like the principle too, but if the right oldie is available its worth looking at.

I think Curtis Davies is quite capable of doing a job and will add to squad.

[Monty]

I'm sure he can do a job. Not 'footballer', but some other job.

[villa kicks]

Well i just read some news he could be an option. He scored against wigan once

[claretandbeer]

I think that we have the Bent/Benteke replacement,  Weimann.He's a better central striker than wide man.Great self- confidence ,good striking ability and constantly makes intelligent runs.Very similar to Dean Saunders.
He lacks a bit in pace and dribbling skills and that's why I think we need another wide forward ,who could also replace Gabby if injured. Scott Sinclair would be ideal.
And a commanding central defender please.

Mcmannam would be a positive move. Swap him for holman when wigan fall

Holnman for Mcmanaman
Bannan for Maloney

[Concrete John]

Maloney is 30 now, so they'd be looking for top money as would he.  Lambert will think he can someone just as good for half the price abroad.  And he'd be right.

I couldn't agree more.

After watching last night's game, all I can say about Ashley Williams is ...... no thanks

His footballing ability makes James Collins look like Messi (... and that's the "real" Messi, not just the Scottish one)

What you have to remember is that coming to the Villa is a step up from ManC

I'm glad you've said that. I've not seen a great deal of him in fairness but last night he was bloody awful.
