Transfer Speculation / Gossip

Good call!

This always works for me.

Great choice!

And as we disco into the small hours of Saturday morning, it's a goodnight from me, as the pages are taking forever to load. No match on, so the students next door are on my broadband link watching god knows what and playing online games till their little fingers fall off.

UTV!

[Phil from the upper holte]

Thanks for the well wishes ladies and gents! Very kind of you.

I will work out how to post a few pictures of the day when we get back from Aus, so you can recognise me at the Villa and come and poke me if you like next season.

Whoa there. No poking thanks!

He must mean on Facebook

If Vlaar's on the new kit photo shoot it's usually a good sign he's staying.  They normally play it safe with that or someone will prove me completely wrong in a minute.

According to the Mail we have made enquires about Rio Ferdinand! Old and not hungry. Looked shot towards the end of last season. If this is true Lambert has no principles whatsoever. Obviously a very good player in his time,Rio, but his time has gone.

Rio Ferdinand will be playing for QPR or in the US of A by the time the season starts.  Same with Lampard.

How do you work that out?

Didn't he a while back claim that experienced players were overrated and it was all about "young and hungry" players at Aston Villa?

Maybe he's seen the error of his ways. I'd call that learning from your mistakes.

I fail to see how Lamberts principles can be linked to (apparently) wanting a player who until recently was plying his trade at the top of European football.  And who will have no shortage of takers this summer.

Who exactly should we be looking to sign?  Kompany?

Or simply evolving. I'm sure every manager over time has done that to some degree, especially the very best.

Perhaps. Though it was probably more to do with Lerner not sanctioning the higher wages demanded by older experienced players.

Which would also appear to have changed.

Kompany would be good IMO

I would love Barry back. Did i say that already.
