Transfer Speculation / Gossip

Lambert will stay and we'll spend good money this summer. We will bring in at least two quality signings that will excite the fans.

 Moaner alert.
Having Lambert as manager would negate most of the excitement of two signings. He's a shit manager and will soon coach them down to his level.

I don't disagree but I do think we will show some ambition this summer.

If we have any ambition at all they'll employ a good manager first and let him pick his own players. I'd hate to get to Christmas again with this joker in charge and a new guy come in with nothing to spend.

Tony Pulis was struggling at Stoke at the end and that was actually with some decent investment....8.5m on Palacios for example.

8.5 million for Palacious is "Beye-esque."

I'd say its more N'Zogbia esq myself, but we can say this in hind sight becasue both looked very good players at Wigan, particularly N'Zogbia.

Just two?  We need several.

Lambert genuinely cares about the club. I think he knows what a good piece of the fix is, and he has been restricted in his ability to do this. The question remains is he the man to take us forward? I would rather we just make a complete change, because the club and fans need it.

I agree Toronto.  I posted on here a long time ago that Paul Lambert gets us and, what the club and its history is all about.  Whether that is enough to keep him in a job, I think not.

I'm sure he does. But it's not a qualification that's needed to manage the club.

Get rid of the fucker NOW

I know it's your mantra, but the post you cut that out of managed to say the same thing in a slightly more dignified way.

I think Aston Villa should tell Paul Lambert to look at his methods, and increase funding for wages and transfer kitty and tell stop buying cheap rubbish players and focus on getting quality in and change the coaching staff and methods. We need quality especially in midfield and get more playmakers all over the field. If he is not prepared to do what required then we need someone in.  It is a shame we don't have a veteran ex manager in the club to help him out ie Big Ron.

I think we were unlucky to lose to Everton. That's the only unfortunate home loss I can think of.

Now that Fulham and Cardiff are down I really want us to try and nab Caulker and Daehli from Cardiff.

Caulker is extremely promising and he would improve our defence ten-fold, what with Okore coming back too. I'd go as high as £12m to get him in, he could be a fixture in our team for the next 10 years.

Daehli would certainly add creativity to our side. Him, Grealish and Carruthers to bring through gradually over next season and we're sure to be onto a winner with at least one of them.

[PaulWinch again]

Caulker is a good player.

[brontebilly]

Sigurdsson from Spurs is a player I think would do well with us. Others like Redmond, Mulumbu, De Guzman, Ben Davies are gettable too I suspect. Shelvey is meant to be off to Newcastle while Caulker is meant to have agreed a move back to Spurs, he hasnt impressed me at all to be honest this season in an awful Cardiff side.
If we could get Jovetic in from City on loan, could be an epic transfer. He has been poor this season and suffered with injuries. Saw him play at international level though when very young and also with Fiorentina, he is hugely talented. Alex Song will be heading back to England this summer, not sure if he is the kind of player we could attract.

Others that will be hawked to clubs like Villa

City - Richards, Lescott, Rodwell and Sinclair
United - Young, Nani, Valencia, Cleverley
Chelsea - Moses, Bertrand
Arsenal - Jenkinson,

[Smirker]

If Nani and Richards were available we should go all out for those. Nani is an excellent footballer. He will have offers from all over Europe though.
