Indeed clampy , I'd be surprised if we are looking at anymore forward options at the moment.

The story that ger linked to earlier-

By Matt Law | 29/06/13 

Aston Villa are ­targeting Belgium ­player Nacer Chadli as a new way of trying to keep Christian Benteke.

Villa have joined a host of clubs chasing FC Twente winger Chadli, who only has a year left to run on his contract.

And Villa hope that if they could sign Chadli it may help convince ­Benteke to stay at least another year.

Fulham, Tottenham, Liverpool and West Brom have also been tracking Chadli, who scored 16 goals for Twente last season.

 

Although Chadli has played on the wing for Twente, Lambert wants a creative spark to play in the hole and would consider moving the 23-year-old inside.

Lambert may also need to start moving on ­unwanted high-earners Darren Bent, Shay ­Given and Stephen ­Ireland before ­launching a firm bid.

What a load of cack, I am pretty sure that Paul Lambert is not in the habit of buying players just to try and keep current players. Journalism today just gets worse and worse.

It's normally at it's worst on a Sunday. They tend to just write anything.
The only time Sunday papers are worth buying is to check the scores when the season is on. This time of year it is just a transfer market fuck fest.
Loads of made up stuff, just to fill the pages. Waste of space reading any of it in my view. Little snipits of truth followed by gargantuan amounts of bullshit.

It may be cock but that won't stop me posting some youtube showreels....

 


As far as the cockometer goes - I don't think this rumour rises much above a semi - not when we have full blown throbbin knobbage like Stewie D and the bus that is Gareth Barry being touted - those stories are the King Dong's of football journalism.

This lad, young Dennis Praet from Anderlecht, or Hiroshi Kiyotake from Nuremberg - I would welcome them all.  Because they are modern footballers - as in - they can play almost anywhere - all have good control - good vision - and can shoot on target.  Goals from midfield is what we can expect from Lambert's Villa next season methinks.

Cock on.

By Dean Jones | 29/06/13 

Aston Villa have not yet had any enquiries over Darren Bent, writes Dean Jones of the Sunday People.

They are willing to sell the former England striker for £8million. Newcastle are the latest to weigh up a bid, but so far Villa have heard nothing.

This isn't quite correct.  Villa did in fact hear something.  A call was taken from the North East - the transcript follows.

Mystery Voice. " Hello?  Hello?  Is there any f**ker there?  Why does no tosser answer the phone to me?

Aston Villa.... Hello, Aston Villa Football Club, how can we help you?

Mystery Voice. - For F**cks sake - - that ars*hole Bent - useless lazy goalhanging tw*t if you ask me - but Pard's is f*ckin desperate the gurning f*ckwit - how much then eh?  I'll give you £4 f**kin mill and Sammi the sh*t Amoeba you c*nts.  What do you say to that then?

Aston Villa - Goodbye.

Mystery Voice - Hello?  Hello?  For f*cks sake.  (aside) Mike?  Mikey boy u pedo?  The line's gone bleeding dead again Mike - get the f*cking phones sorted in this sh*thole will you - this is the twenty seventh bleeding time this week.  Useless Geordie t*ssers.  (Line goes dead).

He'd actually make an enquiry for the availability and price for David Brent

We keep hearing that Lambert's after a 'Number 10' type player but I think he'll probably go into the pre-season games looking to try both Tonev and Bacuna in this role before spending any more money.

It might be good idea to see those players in action before spending much bigger money. The market haven't got the money to buy medium range of players ie 10-20 millions

Helenius might fill that role too depending on the formation. Surprised we're being linked to so many players in this position i.e Belhana, Chadli etc as we already have Tonev, Bacuna, Helenius who can play there along with people further down the line like N'Zogbia/

You can put a solid YouTube collection together for Marlon Harewood. Those two might be the shittest collections for a potential player ever, especially the first.

I'd like to see someone like Grealish/Carruthers/Gardner in that role during pre season as well, promoting from the academy would save money after all. (Though knowing Lambert we'll probably spend about 250k on some absolute world beater of a No 10)
