Ads Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Remember the difference Young and BJC made to a poor side that had a smattering of good players? A quality striker and attacking midfielder alone could work wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted August 26, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted August 26, 2012 Well, should be an exciting week ahead. We need a minimum of 3 players IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaGoMarching Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 slightly off topic but i have to say i was embarrassed with the booing at half time on saturday, fair enough there are some players that are not pulling there weight, but over half that team were young lads and new signings, the one thing we need to do this season is get right behind the team, because them players are going to need us more than ever this year. Spot on dude. Perhaps they can't grasp just how demotivating and counter productive it is. Agree completely, I often think as a club we get what we deserve, our fans can be a complete petulant bunch.

villa75 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 You can shoot me down with this but it is just an opinion ,as much as I rate bent I would trade him in and sign Rhodes half the price and half the wage would suit lamberts system where he relies on the forward winning balls and dragging defenders out of position, bent only works in systems with width Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 But if we dont sign anyone, surely that brings up the question of why would Lambert join us if he wasn't going to be backed. A question you have posed to others when they have been flapping. Perhaps the answer is that he still will be but things havent worked out this window. Quite simply he thought he could get more out Nzog, Ireland, Clark etc. His faith in those 3 - has spectacularly back fired - Ireland didn't even get a kick yesterday, Clark was dire and got a red - and Nzog was totally anonymous. That doesn't make a lick of sense. How can Lambert's faith in Ireland 'spectacularly backfire' if he didn't even play him yesterday?! And it's way too soon to say how much faith Lambert has in likes of N'Zogbia and Clark. He has only managed 2 matches. We know next-to-nothing about Lambert's thoughts on the team. The only real shows of faith are in the people he has signed. Lambert has been quoted as saying before the season started:- 1.Clark will be first choice CB 3.For our creative play he is looking to Ireland and Nzogbia 3 big calls for me - on players who have never really done it for us - that includes last season and 2 games this (1 for Ireland) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGregor1888 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Baker is better than Clark imo. I would agree - with a note of caution - the game was effectively over when Baker went to CB. More worrying for me is the fact that Lambert publicly put his faith in Clark - I thought maybe he had seen something we hadn't. A massive error - can't wait for Dunne to be fit TBH. Ciaran Clark is **** shite. That is all on him. Bannan is even worse, and delph is even worse again. The Fonz was a waste of a spunk. You missed an obvious point: Villa have too many dickheads "supporting" the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KjParton Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I wasn't there on Saturday (I'm on Holiday atm), but as much as I would have been angry and disappointed at being 0-3 down, playing at home, at Half time i wouldn't have booed the players. If it was 0-6 at half time, I might have had to vent some anger. It's if you're 0-3 at half time for pretty much every home game, then you have a right to boo.

Ads Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I am glad that Nursey has picked up on the cranking of the transfer machine. He normally has a good eye on Villa matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 If a panic buy means us spending £20m on a striker again I'm all for it! Seriously Randy has to put his hand in his pocket. I can kind of understand why we've been slow and I'm sure Lambert would have expected us to be stronger than we have been in the first two games so may have wanted to bide his time but it's in black and white now that we need 3 quality players, plus Dunne, Gabby and Albrighton back sharpish.

supermon Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I cant believe no one is in for Giovani dos Santos from Spurs, 1 year left on contract, can play on the wings or in Strike and a full Mexico international. Would be a steal and bargain, out of favour with avb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I have faith in Lambert, as a manager that obviously will want to continue a successful career, to have identified targets or at least know the players he would want to improve our team if backed to get them. Let us now hope that he is getting that backing, and personally I'm willing to take those two losses if it means Randy is willing to open his wallet. Just a shame that we had to lose our first two games if Nursey is right about it making an impact, because we could all clearly see our team wasn't up to par, and based on the losses and countless amount of draws from last season the wallet should have been opened to quite some extent as soon as Lambert was appointed. UTV anyway, 3 or 4 signings and a shock away win at Newcastle please Mr Lerner and Mr Lambert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaretMahoney Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Randy needs to open the **** cheque book or he'll be looking at a possible relegation battle again. We've scored 1 goal so far this season, and to me that is pretty synonymous with the clubs goals, they have none. 6-7 years ago Randy had goals for the club, and we WERE on track (for the most part) until MON dipped out on us. Since then our goals have faded on and off the pitch. I feel strongly that it's time to make more goals, off the pitch as much as on, obviously. Creating some ambition and giving the club goals should lift our spirits and give the lads a bit of a target, as well as show supporters that we have an ambition. Right now it seems like we are just happy to stay in the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
