Transfer Speculation / Gossip

[Chris Jameson]

Given PL's record of deadline day deals, who's up for hanging around behind Pete Colley at Bodymoor Monday night?

If nothing happens we could go dogging.

It's really tempting Percy, can I let you know?

[cheltenhamlion]

As it goes, I shall be dogging up that way on Monday anyhow. Would you like me to report back?

I'm thinking of hanging about outside Stoke's ground with the strange looking assortment they attract. It would be the only time in my life I would look and feel devilishly handsome.

You see now I love the idea of a mass hijak of another clubs deadline day huddle! That would be very funny.

[Chris Jameson]

A coach load of Villa fans outside St James Park would be ace.

For the love of God, a striker. Now.

[ozzjim]

Don't get a decent striker and a winger before the window closes it will be a very tough season. Kozak sounds like he is buggered, Gabby can't hit a barn door, Bent is long gone at this level. Leaving Benteke coming back from a serious injury.

Out wide Grealish clearly shows a lot of promise, but he needs help. Our forward options are pretty weak.

[Matt Collins]

Why does kozak sound like he's buggered?

Completely agree on attacking options. It's a must, not a nice to have

Lambert righty concluded bent was past it two years ago. He's not less past it now.

[pauliewalnuts]

It was frankly nuts to think that spending 6 or 7m was going to be anywhere near enough to raise sufficiently the quality of this squad.

If a Joe Cole turns out to be the man we really expect to create things for us, then we will struggle.

Time to spend, Lerner, quickly.

[Malandro]

Have we loaned auquafresca out yet?

[curiousorange]

It took nearly three years to realise our defence was shocking and to do something about it. If it takes the same amount of time to sort out the attack, we won't be long for this league.

[Matt Collins]

Lerner isn't going to spend enough money to raise the quality of our attacking threat. You're talking about £5-8m signings

But surely we can get a couple in on loan. I know it's short term but it could be the difference between going down or not

[dave shelley]

I try not to criticise players as I don't get to see them that often but, I have to admit that when I heard we'd signed Joe Cole my immediate thoughts were, that's two years wages wasted.  Easy to criticise in hindsight, especially as he's not fully fit but surely we could have done better.

[Steve67]

Lambert has brought men and physicality into the squad. Credit for that. BUT he is such a shit manager than he can't organise them properly whoever he brings in. Total shambles. Don't trust Lambert with money or players, don't trust Lerner to sack him or bring in a manager of quality. Diabolical situation to put the club in. I hope the new CEO is a tough nut.
