We need to go get Nathan Redmond - future England winger. Sign him now and we could flog him in a few years and make a profit.

I agree that'd he be an excellent signing, but Norwich would be loathe to sell to Lambert, as they were with Hoolahan.

In an ideal world, we'd be looking at either Redmond or Lennon, but Sinclair is the realistic option, unfortunately.

With regard to N'Zogbia, does anyone know how long he has left on his contract...?

I assumed he'd been given a new 8 year one at some point in the last 3 months

Steven Davis ? No
He's industrious but doesn't score or create much

We already have one of them in cleverley

Actually two

Westwood being the second

May I go on record as saying that I think Redmond is a massive streak of piss?

Unfortunately we signed Insomnia at the height of Lerners buffoonery and gave him a 5 year deal. So we have him next season too.

I hope Gil is only the start we really need to shift some of the dead wood out and that includes Gabby.

Steve Davis would walk into our team but southampton wouldn't sell and he wouldnt want to come

Another example of a villa youngster only being good enough by the time they approach their mid twenties (clark, baker, Routledge, gardner)

I note that Shaun Maloney is set to sign for Leicester, according to the BBC website.

Stoke are letting Huth out on loan. Possible option as Glass Ron is injured for a change.

He'll join the Renaissance at the Yawnthorns won't he?

14mil at he age of 32? The world's gone mad. There is still hope for Benty then especially as we now have bought someone to create goals.

I'd be happy with that actually although we have Baker and Senderos to come back.

Bonkers, his club are willing to let Defoe go because he's always injured!

Surely if that £14m figure is correct then that will be the transfer fee and his wages over the length of the contract?

Still ridiculous, obv.
