Transfer Speculation / Gossip

That's weird. He's not going to get any better with a year out of the Premier League and if Lambert doesn't want him, surely he could be sold.

That's the bit that is peculiar.

Not so much that he sees Bacuna and Hutton ahead of him, but that we're sending him on loan rather than selling him.

Maybe it's because long term we hope he can get sorted? Short term we have Bacuna and Hutton, and in a year Hutton will have gone (I think). Still it is a bit of a strange 'un.

But playing in the championship? Strange move.

If he was 19, maybe but not 25.

[PeterWithesShin]

Maybe we want him to pretty much be guaranteed plenty of game time? Which he should get at that level. I'm just trying to think of how it can make any sense and this scenario is the only one I can come up with.

[Mister E]

Close to home, solves the fallout with the manager (for now) and maybe frees up cash to bring in another right back, even it is a loan player coming in.

Sheffield to Boro is further than it is  from Sheffield to Villa.

It can't be. They're both North.

I am fuming, Is lambert seriously the biggest hypocrite in football?

Lowton and Benteke were our best players in 2012/13 - One dodgy season (along with everybody else) and Lowton get's shifted up North where he will not improve.  He's 25 for crying out loud, what's he going to gain from going to Boro?  Villa fans being Villa fans were calling out for Lowton to be picked for England 18 months ago now a select few are saying 'He never performed anyway', 'Huttons better'... Boll***s

This shows how much of a Joke we are right now, and how much of a hyprocrite Lambert really is - Last 2 seasons it's been Youth this, Youth that, No experience required, we don't need it... Now we're signing anyone who falls off the back of the ring and ride

First season Lambert was here we tried passing the ball about a bit, i remember Stoke away we kept the ball all game.  Last season we tried Hoofing it from the back on every given occasion... Just what does he want from the players? What is his Vision?

Piss off Lambert.

True, about 2 hours as opposed to 1 and a half

Lowton has shown he's definitely got something. His first season was a real highpoint of a turgid campaign for me, and his performance against Sunderland at home one of the best right back showings i've ever seen in the shirt (on a one off basis)

I don't know what's happened since. But it seems a crying shame that talent can't be coaxed back out of him with some work behind the scenes

One thing i'm absolutely sure of, we wont be buying a replacement. We'll just shove Bacuna again (Nooooooooooooooo) or Hutton in his place. I'd rather the latter if we're playing with full backs for certain

that's too subtle for me, mate.

[Matt C]

Bizarre. That's two fullbacks we need now.

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

Season before last I thought we'd found a real cracking full-back, someone who would be a Villa great.
What the f**k happened there?
How did he suddenly become not very good?

What's John Gidman doing these days?

[Shrek]

Middlesborough obviously let their players live where they want then?

Home sick Lowton will surely be living at home.

[cheltenhamlion]

That is odd. Just like my brow furrowed when Cahill went to Sheffield United, the same is happening here. What the piss will the player learn from the deal if they are part of future plans?

If he had gone to Leicester or Burnley, say, I could see it. Not here though.

[KevinGage]

This really doesn't make much sense at all, unless Lambert just wants him out of the place regardless.
