As others have sad pointless giving Lambert any money as he can't pick a team or set them up right.Look at Bertrand last season first game he was really good,by the end of th season he was poor,how many others could we say the same about ? Sack Lambert.

I would not give this clown a penny to spend, because however good they are when they first get here, he will dam well make sure they are no good in a couple of months time.
The best signing Villa can make this window is a new manager.
Abso-bloody-lutely.

Liverpool linked with a 7.5M bid for Delph and a 15M bid for Benteke in today;s papers.  Given that Delph is unlikely to sign in the summer would you take 7.5M now if it is indeed on offer?
You'd have to say yes to that.  Benteke won't go anywhere this window, but his value is dropping all the time spearheading this shite attack!

25m puts him in the same price bracket as Bony and at the moment at least, he's not worth it. Pains me to say it but injuries and the hopeless way Lambert sets the team up when he does play have undermined Benteke's value.

Benteke's attitude has undermined his value. He has been a disgrace in recent games, little movement, berating team mates constantly and taking the wrong option repeatedly. He has become like Ashley Young in his last season with us.

His attitude has been Shit. However he is a class player. Put him in a decent side and he'll score for fun. Your paying for potential

£15 million? Give me a break. He's not going anywhere this month and when he does move it needs to be at least double that.

Bit galling to see Albrightons performance yesterday when we are crying out for a wide man. Is Sinclair really better then Marc?

Has anyone written the classic summer or winter transfer window letter or e-mail to the Mail yet? 'We need a quality midfielder and a twenty goals a season striker'. Roy Keane and Alan Shearer used to be the names mentioned by these people who could obviously scout an unknown gem.

Lionel Messi is one we should be looking at. Unhappy at Barcelona my sources tell me.

Don't forget the twenty goals a season striker. You don't even have to come up with a name. "We should buy a twenty goal a season striker to take the pressure off Benteke" qualifies as helpful enough.

We really struggled for goals towards the end of last season too and nothing has been done to fix it. The only bit of creativity in that spell came from Albrighton. What winds me up most about Lambert is his failure to see the bleeding obvious. Weimann-Benteke-Gabby were a good front 3 in the second half of Lambert's first season but it needed building on. 2 years later and we're still waiting and Lambert keeps coming out with quotes about how there's goals in the teams that he puts out. 21 Premier League games plus the end of last season suggest otherwise.

Because it's not your job to come up with one.
