Transfer Speculation / Gossip

[LeeS]

Will anyone join us while there is uncertainty over the owner?

Not sure I would. If a new billionaire comes in then it could be all change again and if a new manager comes in then you are not one of his signings. Randy dropped the ball on this.

Now that Lambert is confirmed as staying, hopefully he will have an idea of what funds he has to spend (probably 50p/packet of crisps) and a list of potential targets. We need to make the best of a bad situation.

I bet Grant Holt and Wes Hoolahan are delighted by this news.

Anyone else looking forwards to the new players Lambert and Shithouse will have scouted that we've never heard of?

Latvian Pele's and Democratic Republic of Congo's answer to Patrick Viera. They all sound just what we need and encouraging, until the first time we see them awkwardly shin a ball and know he's found another duffer for couple of mill.

I imagine we'll go back in for Hoolahan now, which I've got no problem with as he can do a job and Norwich won't be able to hold to him now they've been relegated will they?

I get the feeling that those players are no longer on Villa's radar.

at least now we know when a player joins he really wants to play for the villa, he aint coming for wealth, glory and an easy life

Or no-one else wants him!

I'm not sure what else he could do when nobody wants to buy the ball.

Well, at least we're not bleeding money as much. Because who would want to buy a football club losing £50million a year?

Someone on Twitter reckons Lambert has £7 million to spend.

I reckon he's got £60m to spend. I'm not on twitter though. 

[mr underhill]

the 7m is probably for fees and wages.

[Chris Jameson]

I'm going to go on Twitter and say he has 3 billion pounds to spend.

[go on the dog]

Ive heard Westwood to the toon, hes having to sell to buy

I dunno about him. He's not been good enough to get in Norwich's side, and they've just gone down. He's an average player and past his best. I would hope Lambert will push for better. Even so, Norwich will likely let Hoolahoop go, and will have enough takers not to have to sell him to us.

Someone on Twitter said we had the best part of £50m to spend.


Ok it was me, but it's about as reliable as any other twitter rumour.
