Lambert has yet to say who it will be....who do you think should get the nod?

If we weren't relegated last season, what makes people think we will this year? We'll finish comfortably safe from the drop zone.

Hardly surprising, really. This kind of low grade campaign sleaze is expected.

Anyone been? It's always seemed a kind of mysterious place to me, and I'd like to visit some day.

Yeah, that dodgy Dutch league never produced much did it

I think it's critical for fans to get behind this team and not jump all over them if they have a shitty first half performance, or just a crap game altogether. They're young, they'll have nerves, and they will need the patience from supporters when things go wrong, which they undoubtedly will.

I think this is the "rebuilding" that actually ends up paying dividends...

Amazing - if McLeish had made these signings, people would want him hung, drawn and quartered. I am glad he has gone but equally I am surprised at the amount of faith people have in Paul Lambert. If Mcleish had made these signings this place would have gone in to meltdown. Mcleish wouldn't have made these signings. ^^^ Exactly. Why are people even dragging his name into this discussion? He's gone, it's over, move on

Results on the pitch have been poor, as has been the level of play...sitting firmly at the bottom of the table with a trip to Newcastle next up...I think a point will be a fantastic result, to be honest. On the bright side, there were a few more signings that in theory address our needs...none of them set the pulse racing, but Benteke could end up being a steal. I like the focus on youth, but there is an inherent danger in relying on so many players with little to no Premiership experience. But hopefully Lambert knows what he's got to do to make the pieces fit. I think it will be a slow slog up the table, but I'm not expecting much better than 12th place at this point. Fingers crossed the team stay free of injuries, and maybe Lerner will have some Christmas spirit and buy us a shiny new present in January. Interesting times... UTV!

I think 20m on the nose

FSG just dumped $270m in salaries from the Red Sox...seems like they're going to tighten things up at Liverpool now too, which will send them into a frenzy... Looks like Henry is learning the lesson Lerner was taught. Don't be an idiot by throwing obscene amounts of money on total wasters.

Love this signing, I think he could end up scoring loads of goals...big presence upfront with skill on the ball as well...should compliment Bent perfectly. He's gone from the ugliest sounding club to the nicest Good luck, Christian, welcome to Villa!

Well...it's 4:34 AM where I am...I'm off to bed...hoping for good news when I awake!

'kin hell. Obama brings in a law authorising indefinite detention of US citizens by the military, yet is still held up by some as a liberal hero!! None so blind as those who will not see. Yep. It's absolutely sinister, really. Dark days ahead, I'm afraid.

Agreed.

This is as close to a must-sign as possible...can't say I'm overly optimistic, though :?

I miss those Reebok tops

They all had a successful circle jerk over this

I never knew april fools had come late this year. Yeah, I don't actually wish for it, just a bit down after the start to the season and the transfers for other clubs. Sunderland will crash and burn under O'Neill just like we did...he's up to the same antics up there, throwing money at mediocre talent.

This was apparently the LB Lambert wanted all along...don't know if that's spin, but here's hoping the kid has success. UTV

I think Sirhan Sirhan acted on orders

They're more worried about the rainfall than wind damage...could get ugly...

Just declared full hurricane...and it's slowed down, which is bad news too...
