The first big rumour has emerged regarding a player coming to the Villa and not leaving the club.
Scott Sinclair is being well covered by most sport related outlets as being in advanced talks regarding a loan move to the Villa.
Scott Sinclair moved to Manchester City from Swansea for 6.2M and unfortunately, the club had no intentions of using him on the field as he rarely got a look in before moving to to West Brom for a season loan where he again made very little appearances and virtually no impact.
The true form was while he was at Swansea where he scored 28 goals in 74 league games. If we could bring him in and he recaptured this form, then we would be on to something great, but I have my reservations about these types of signings as they are very much hit an miss.
Miss
He looks the dogs on the video but what has to be taken in to perspective is most of that is from his time at Swansea who do something we don’t…Play Football !
Exactly BWS, start with the manager and coaching, who ever we get won’t matter till they are out. Today’s score 2-1 Villa..
2-1? In the normal world of Villa (pre – Lerner’s austerity) this would have been a given, maybe 4-0 but in these strange times who knows?
Precisely BWS, should it not who knows.⌚ will tell.
I can honestly see an upset today – a Villa win!!!
Looks like Benteke the other way then according to the transfere gossip……
at last a line up i want to watch and its not being covered anywhere
What’s the line up?
VILLA: Given, Hutton, Okore, Clark, Cissokho, Cleverley, Cole, Westwood (c), Sanchez, Benteke, Grealish. Subs: Guzan, Bacuna, Weimann, Gardner, N’Zogbia, Lowton, Calder.
Team selection looks better for me. Fonz playing for Blackpool may feel he has a point to prove. I think we might win this one despite failing miserably against lower league opposition so often recently.
As for Sinclair, he looks like one of those whose career has gone badly astray. I would be concerned that he wouldn’t return to previous form. We desperately need players who can dribble past the opposition to give us some creativity. hopefully Cole can last 90 mins.
Still not convinced about Sinclair, didn’t the baggies have him least year with a view to a permanent and he couldn’t even break into their team..
As for today, I just hope someone other than Benteke gets a goal for us, particularly from our midfield!
It’s because he’s terrible. Everything went through Dyer and Routeledge when he was at Swansea and their fans were happy he left as he’s no better than a Championship player.
Many Villa fans wanted Sinclair before he went to ManC which has turned out to be a poor move for him. A loan move to the end of the season is not a bad deal – can’t see Tekkers going the other way unless he fancies some bench polishing duties 🙂
He’s on final score now as commentator, we don’t want him ffs ,BWS get on final score given shoes playing
That’s Trevor mate.
I knew I’d get it wrong, drinking my Christmas bottles.
Scary as hell anyone wants him… But then I wouldn’t trust 99% of Villa fan’s opinions on who we should get reading half the names they’d mention.
Well at least that puts me in the majority 🙂
I just don’t get how anyone who actually watched him play wants him. Watch him play, not look up stats.
lmao listen you,,,,,,your well full of yourself ~remind us who did you suggest, bare in mind andrew 3 million is like 30 mill to lerner.penny pinching doesn’t attract ambition, ppl can blame the manager, tea lady until they are blue in the face. but until the manager gets funds to replace the players already left and leaving. we couldn’t attract billy the fish from fulchester. nobody would want to play for villa at this current time,
I’m okay with that as well… You can go over the forum for the last 5 years to see who I’ve suggested. Guess what? Bar Benteke we haven’t gotten a single one I’ve mentioned.
Transfer funds haven’t been a problem. Lambert has gotten funds, not this made up 3m garbage being spouted. It’s not the funds, it’s the wages which means we need better scouting to find players like Southampton and West Ham have done.
And thinking nobody wants to play for Villa currently is a joke. No we won’t attract from the big clubs, but no need to go for terrible players like Lennon (7m is a joke) and Sinclair just to get players.
your a joke
name your players today??????? not after its been ssn or floating around twitter. your as clueless as the rest of us. decent players aren’t attracted by villa anymore. until the club show ambition, any players already here or on wanted list, will use us as a stepping stone or give villa a wide birth
lennon is one player i mentioned boliase another, all the players i mentioned, fit the criteria of cheap and not desired by better clubs or clubs showing ambition.
also would lennon cost 7 mill not sure seems like loans are the way lerner wants to recruit.
Aw, are we resulting to insults now? And yet you whine when others do it to you? What a surprise.
I’m as clueless as the rest of you? About what? Football? Not nearly, as unlike you I do watch football outside of Villa, or at least the Prem.
I’ve read Spurs want 7m for Lennon, because that’s how Levy works.
And loans are the way he recruits… Because we’ve loaned oh so many players. Dawkins, Holt, Bertrand and Cleverley. 6 players last summer bought and only 1 loan player. Damn him for only wanting loans. January before that you’re right, we signed 2 players on loan. Summer before that we brought in 7 players, not a single on loan. January before that we brought in 2, 1 on loan – Dawkins. Then his first summer was 8 players, not a single on loan. 25 players brought in, 4 on loan. Damn that Lerner for only wanting players on loan. He is truly going to kill us with only wanting players on loan, we might not have a team if we didn’t have all these players on loan.
your words its ok for you to insult villa fans but i can’t use your words back too you its double standards
well i will try too keep up with you with my lack of football outside b6 ~ i reckon lennon will stay at spurs or be loaned, but no 7 mill monopoly money will swap hands for him. well sinclair is another guy nobodies wants, but was a talent a few seasons back. its all that villa will get unless you and mighty knowledge reckon we are better than these muppets
I didn’t say you couldn’t use them, I just gotta kick out of it that you were on here claiming you were leaving this site because a majority was giving you stick for your opinion, that’s all. Feel free to call me anything you want.
And yes, we are better than Lennon and Sinclair. They’re not players that are going to move us forward, Sinclair’s not a creator, he gets created for. That’s why Dyer and Routeledge were better than him and would be the better choices if we signed a Swansea/former Swansea winger. Lennon’s awful and his end product is just as poor as Weimann’s who isn’t even a winger. We are better than these muppets and they’re not worth a transfer fee, squad spot or the wages they’ll ask.
i support villa so i float to where i hear from real fans with real views, that’s this site and others what that got to do with the price of bacon. lennon and sinclair have what villa lack. they both can beat a player with skill and speed, could offer width we need or supply benteke. whether they will come and be a success is a gamble, cos both are damaged goods. but thats where we are at present
I see the new way of playing is working well today -20 minutes and neither side have managed a single shot. Cure for insomnia anyone?
We are embarrassingly bad TBF. It is hard to see where change will come from unless Lambert gets fired.
Looks like Gabby and Weimann aren’t too blame after all.
were flying in the first half guys…. Not a single shot on target against the bottom team in the Championship… Lambert till I die LOL
‘We were brilliant today – look at those possession stats and another clean sheet – the lads were really excellent; now we go again’
‘What was that? – we have to score goals. Oh that’s what those mesh things are at each end of the pitch’
Loved Lawro’s quote – ‘If this match was on TV I’d watch it from behind the settee’
Sinclair isn’t terrible at all imo but I don’t want us to loan him as I doubt he would be that interested still collecting his big pay slip at city. Looks like were struggling today. Oh dear maybe a defeat would make us a little more urgent in the transfer window.
Blackpool 4shots 2 on target VILLA 3shots 0 on target signs of improvement then LOL
And why no Robinson today? Perfect opportunity for some game time and to not rely on benteke.
He’s cup tied.
Shit forgot about that. Lamberts genius to recall him.
I mentioned Sinclair the start of last season, but now I think with very very little game time he wouldn’t be worth it. Would take the rest of the season to get up to speed, hardly seems worth it.
Yep agree Adam, but then again this is the Mighty Lambert were talking about…..
If things don’t pan out at least we can bring on the big guns.
Except we can only afford to buy blanks to load them with 🙂
Your so funny Giddy 🙂
Hey Giddy do you think our players are trying to get Lambert sacked? I’ve never known Villa this bad even 40 years ago. Benteke playing well commentary from observers is he’s lost the plot. Cleverly off Nzog on.
Mate imo LAMBERTs unsackable.
Giddy – I don’t think he’s “bomb proof” LOL
First big gun on cnz no problems now.easy easy.
Yea I am lamberts Love child
