The frustrating thing about Spurs, and for different reasons, Man City and Chelsea, is that they don't NEED a wonderkid from MK Dons. Manchester City don't need Bony, and Chelsea don't need Loic Remy. It's not like these are missing pieces of an incomplete jigsaw. It's just posturing, not squad building.

Please let's not give him anymore money to waste. Spend any spare ££ on paying his contract off and giving him the heave ho.

To be fair his transfer track record is probably the only thing he deserves anything approaching credit for.

'Promote' Lambert to Director of Football, in charge of recruitment and it's win-win. Lerner remains loyal to his buddy and we (hopefully) get a decent Head Coach.

That thought crossed my mind earlier. Didn't have the balls to post it though.

I don't think that's a terrible idea, were it not for the fact that once he's gone, I want a fifty mile exclusion zone around Villa Park for Paul Lambert.

Lets hope tomorrow brings a centre forward with some enthusiasm that can re-ignite the forward line.

His transfer track record has been Ok. I don't want to see this clown bring in any more players full stop, I want to see him shown the door.

Although I'm sure he has the final say, we don't know how many he has actually 'spotted' himself. Tony Barton was responsible for scouting a lot of the early eighties side.

He'd be welcome back any time with a new team.

We have a decent centre forward at the moment who rarely has a decent ball passed to him.

Today is going to need a Darren Bent amount of money spent, not just on one player either, Ba go get, another midfielder who until Lambert has the opportunity to train it out of him, has a tendency to move the ball in a forward motion and a left back that can play the modern game, defend when required but when in a position to cross a ball, has the ability to do just that.

and that's the problem - waste another 10-20m, because very quickly, Lambert, despite unearthing the odd gem, soon turns good players into footballing zombies. No more excuses, chances or money. Man up and get rid.
