He may well be, but he is only 17!

Maybe Lambert is planning to give up on "our new style" and return to "young and hungry".

I give it until the Summer and this "approach" will be back again  :-(

I wouldn't mind at all providing we have a manager qualified to actually execute the plan and not his own foot.

He may be a madman but if balotelli is out of favour how about Delph going to anfield and we take the Italian on loan?

Nah probably not

Yep, just what we need, a stroppy overgrown man-baby with the emotional, hormonal imbalance of a 15 year old girl up front.

Balotelli? No thanks. We've got enough useless front men.

We need a centre mid to replace the awful cleverley and then 2 forwards another wide and another striker. All unlikely I admit.

Say what you might about O'Neill's profligacy, and he was - there's no getting away from that, but as soon as Lerner took matters into his own hands the decision making at the club has been truly abysmal.
If he hadn't isn't there an argument that we would have completely spiraled into a huge debt?

I know theres been crazy plans, ideas and changes in direction. Most of which have not worked out but taking the powers away from MON had to happen, the spending had to slow down or stop and the wage bill had to be trimmed.

It should never have got to that point in the first place. Its pretty obvious that the 2 of them were egging each other on until Lerner lost his nerve.  I've said before that allowing Steve Stride to walk away was a major blunder. Even if he wanted to leave, he should have been replaced properly. 

The lack of knowledge on the board is frightening in the extreme.  Someone who knew the game would surely have been able to stop the madness before it got out of hand - if only to stop the pair of them driving us over a cliff.

He doesn't always look interested when he plays for his country. He didn't always look interested playing for his boyhood team back in Italy. He hasn't always looked interested playing for City and Liverpool. Unless it actually takes a relegation battle to get him going I'm not convinced.

We could really do with a bit of width coming into the side and I wouldn't be averse to Robbie Keane on a short loan either.

The Birmingham Mail reports that Manchester City winger Scott Sinclair is still firmly on the Aston Villa radar, with manager Paul Lambert also considering a loan move for a striker.
