Nice article. Just a little reminder, though, that we have a dedicated thread for that.
It’s clear Lambert had identified the same weaknesses in the side that we had in the stands, with 2 creative midfielders, a holding anchor-man, another option at centre half and 2 players able to play at left back being brought in.All seem capable of being first teamers for top 10 teams, and all have played for their respective countries. For a spend kept to seven digits, that’s far more than I’d hoped for, and to me at least – a good indicator of the progression the club is trying to make.Wrote a transfer window verdict on my Villa blog here: http://chipsticksvilla.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/summer-2014-transfer-roundup.html

There's a reason none of them were at top ten clubs already surely?cleverley's the exception of course

Granted I haven't taken much notice of him in recent seasons and was a bit underwhelmed by getting in a cast off from a relegated side, but I do remember being very impressed with him when he first signed for arsenal and did think he could do a decent job for us alongside Ron.

Why does Senderos always look like he is going to cry? I was watching him specifically a few times against Hull where a loose ball from a corner set Hull up on a counter attack. The ball went in the air for a Hull player and instead of doing the Baker/Clark thing of competing for the ball or doing a nothing halfway house, he read the situation and dropped to intercept the header; superbly read.
