Well I'm glad it's a loan signing, it's showing we have learned a few lessons from signing players who once showed a glimpse of quality in the former years. Nog and Ireland for example. Fingers well and truly crossed he works his magic for us.

Even more surprising is the last two Lambert signings have now been wide players. For a manager who likes to keep it narrow maybe just goes to prove he's got a lot to learn in the management game and more than one type of system is required. Saying that at least is shows he's willing to change his approach too.

I think he's realized that with one of the best young CF's, he needs to provide him with an alternate suppy option. The current system isn't working. As a Villa fan of a number of years I love us going back to playing with wingers.

As others have said, this is the best move for us. If he shows some motivation and desire then we could look at signing him, if not, off you go back to Man City's bench, Scott.

Yes I agree, if the two players play as well as they can Benteke should have some fun for us now. What with the defence being pretty solid is it time to be optimistic again?

I hope so!

If true I'm happier with a loan deal than a permanent one. It might encourage him to put in more effort. Also hope it frees up some cash for another player.

I agree. A loan move is the best outcome for the club. If he doesn't put in the required effort Lambert can send him back.

I'm sure it was Sinclair who a few seasons back, maybe in Swansea's first year back up, tore Warnock a new one time and again in a game at VP.

I'd tear Warnock and new one, not with the ball but with my bare hands

It's nice to get trained whilst you are being paid circa £1M a year!

I'd love to have wasted my life as badly as he has.
I guess i meant wasted talent when you think how hard  a player has to work to become a top footballer and than not fulfilling that  to the ultimate degree!

And yes I know he earns many many thousands a week and has a very attrative GF

Really?


Fuck.

 ;D

Bad picture to be fair. Most women would look like shit with no make up, shit hair and a bad angle.



She's lost it a bit these days though.

Give him a chance. My biggest hope is that he is given confidence to run at people. It's something we rarely do and opens defenses up. Good move in my view. Good player with a bit of tlc

So Helen, can we get a reaction to your boyfriend moving to the Midlands?


There seems to be a presumption he has been a waster at City. I think it could be just that he hasn't been given a decent chance there. I really rated him at Swansea.
