thing is, when you buy players as quickly as we do now, he probably hasn't met most of the squad.

Does anyone know if any of the other players/staff attended?

If not, you'd say that's a clear sign he's unpopular amongst the rest of the squad and part of the reason he's likely to leave.

I saw photos of him at a wedding last week with Gary Gardner .
A few players are on holiday  the moment Gary is in Marbella and ash westy has just flown out with his fiancé and frankie for a few days in the sun.
Joe Bennett is in Mexico with his gf and as we know benteke is taking in Vegas.
Lowton  and abi have just returned from a holiday in Ibiza with the kids  but no idea if bent invited him .

Paul Lambert admits improving left-back Joe Bennett needs pressure on his place as Villa close in on a move for Spanish defender Antonio Luna.

Lambert kept faith with Bennett during a challenging first season for the former Middlesbrough defender because of a lack of competition.

Bennett has shown signs of improvement and the Villa manager has praised the 23-year-old for refusing to hide during the “hard times”.

But Lambert admits the claret and blues need alternative options in every position if they are to keep players’ performance levels high.

Villa hope to seal a deal for Luna after it was reported in the Spanish press yesterday that a fee has been agreed with La Liga club Sevilla.

“Joe’s getting better there is no doubt,” said Lambert. “He has been getting used to the league and the type of player he is going to be up against.

“Like anybody we will try and improve the squad everywhere. You have got to have competition and somebody breathing down your neck for your place but his performances over the last few months have been really high.

“Even in the hard times he didn’t hide, I think you can talk about people being brave but trying to take a ball in front of 40,000 people – that’s brave.

“To be fair to him he is a young lad but he has taken a lot on board the past few months.”

Villa have struggled with the left-back position in recent years, since Stephen Warnock’s impressive first season at the club in 2009-10.

Warnock’s form in subsequent campaigns slumped to such an extent that he was loaned out to Bolton before staying in the Championship by joining Leeds on a free transfer in January.

Central defenders Nathan Baker and Ciaran Clark, midfielder Fabian Delph and released right-back Eric Lichaj have also filled in at left-back with varying degrees of success.

Brilliant. It's like Richie Rich and his great showbiz mates, Tarby and Lynchy. And Tommy O'Connory.
