Villan4Life Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 spotted this a big No thank you!! http://www.thesun.co...ston-Villa.html ASTON VILLA boss Paul Lambert could make a cheeky £2million bid for Glenn Murray. The Crystal Palace striker has scored 20 goals this season but has just 18 months left on his deal. Murray, 29, joined from Brighton in the summer of 2011 and has fired Palace into second place in the Championship. But while Murray could have a future at Villa, Stephen Warnock does not. Forgotten man Warnock, 31, was part of England’s 2010 World Cup squad, but Lambert sent the former Liverpool star on loan to Bolton in September. Defender Warnock is set to return to Villa next week after his Reebok loan spell ends on Saturday, But he is not part of Lambert’s plans and could be sold in January — his Villa contract is up in the summer. Warnock could also re-join Bolton on a half-season loan in January, or agree a temporary deal with another club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8pints Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 He seems to have been around a bit. Is this someone coming in who it is expected of to be happy as back-up? Seems to have a good scoring record at various levels. Especially for Barrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 20 in 18 this season can't really be sniffed at but at 29 it's hardly an inspiring signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdomlahor Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Yet another I've seen at Carlisle. Was only young-ish when we let him go, but never scored. Never impressed to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 We're going to be linked with anyone and everyone who's doing well in the lower leagues - so I wouldn't put too much stock in this. He doesn't exactly fit the profile, besides the goals he's scored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eames Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 No mileage in this IMO. He may be hungry but he isn't young doesn't seem to fit the Lambert mould at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honest_bertie Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 can't see this one happening really, the only thing that might give it some credence would be that he sounds a bit like a version of Holt at Norwich, personally would rather and think we will keep to looking for younger players but you just don't know with Lambert, guess that what makes transfer windows so exciting now .

Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Can't say I've seen Palace much this season, so can't pass judgement. Others seem to have seen him play though so can offer a solid opinion; it's quite dedicated to see a random team enough to make a call on whether he's worthy of a transfer to us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcTheObsession Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Right club, wrong player Interesting you should say that, obviously Zaha is the one attracting all the attention, but I was at the Palace Blues game last weekend and Yannick Bolasie on the right wing was really impressive. Now it is the only time I've seen him, so I'm not advocating Lambert rushes out and signs him, but I'd be interested to know from anyone who watches Palace regularly whether he's impressed throughout the season.

diehardvillan Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 So this player has been linked with us in two papers. The Sun & The Mail. I hope this is BS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I don't know diddly shit about Glenn Murray. I tell you what I do know though; I know some kid I'd never heard of, who'd never played higher than a handful of games at League One, is arguably the best midfielder at this club. I know some striker who managed double figures one time only in the Belgian league now looks like the most complete forward this club has bought in the last decade. I know another kid, his team went down to League One and then couldn't make it back up, who's looked every bit the competent Premier League right back from his first kick of the ball with us. And I know a defender who'd l'd only ever seen make a clown of himself in the Euros, make the captain's armband his own. If Paul Lambert thinks Glenn Murray can do a job for Aston Villa for a couple million, he's got enough goodwill from me to just get the **** on with it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until his signings prove otherwise, I will never judge a player that PL is interested in until I have seen them in action for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
