Chaos is the best word to describe the Hoolahan-Villa situation. I don’t even know where to begin. Aston Villa first tabled a bid of £750,000 for the Norwich midfielder. That was swiftly rejected. Now it’s believed Aston Villa have upped the ante by offering £1 million. As of right now Norwich are refusing to communicate with Aston Villa all together in regards the transfer of Wes Hoolahan. Hoolahan has allegedly submitted a transfer request but that has been ignored by Norwich.
Aston Villa plan to discuss Hoolahan’s transfer on Tuesday during the transfer tribunal regarding Jed Steer’s summer move to Aston Villa. But it’s believed that would just increase the conflict between Norwich and Aston Villa.
Lambert said: “I’m not getting involved in it. There is no point in me talking about other people’s players when they’re still at their clubs and I won’t disrespect anyone on that front. I’ve never come out and said anything about Norwich.
“What happened has happened. I had him [Hoolahan] for three years, I brought him to Scotland when I was up there so I’ve known what he’s like for years. When I was manager of Norwich he was fantastic, but he’s Norwich’s player so there’s no point talking about him.”
In regards to Steven Defours move to Aston Villa, Mat Kendrick has shunned the move by claiming that Aston Villa will not be pursuing the Belgium midfielder. Defour was the biggest name to be linked with Aston Villa this January so it’s a shame that he has been ruled out.
Mat Kendrick tweeted: It seems as if Aston Villa will not be pursuing a move for Porto’s Belgium international midfielder Steven Defour
Terry got to admit mate you’re not as daft as I thought ( in a nice way mate) your fucking dead on, Lambert is taking us out of football as we know it, the man has to stop now and run Villa as its been over as history says we was, I wish I knew what to do about my club other than stop going , which I have, Terry we are in big trouble big time.
Bill have you read the new post Are we going to see any departures in January well i have replyed to Adam saying the only departures will be the fans unless Lamberk brings in some quality or he is sacked.
You’re not far off on that Terry, I bet you any money it will be last minute buying and it will be panic buy. He is and will be the worst manager Villa has ever had in history.
Bill mate to tell you the truth i have a nagging feeling these links were just a whitewash saying he was going for quality this time round to keep his followers on board and keep himself and his cronies and relatives in a job.He knows get the sack from VP and he is finished only ever to manage in none or lower league football.
I reckon McLeish was a lot worse then Lambert. I never, ever supported McLeish.
Speak for yourself!
I intend to keep supporting villa
COLONIUS81 I will not stop following Villa but will not wast good money to watch my club being humiliated time and time again over 63yrs have seen the good indifferent and the bad but this is now the ugly mate.
Just like a primary school kid caught by teacher, when Lambert has a microphone in front of him he cannot lie with conviction. Hence the incoherent mumbling – Christ I’m Scots myself and I don’t catch it.
It is part of the job to have your excuses ready. Arsene Wenger: claim you did not see it, José Morinho: blame the press, MUFC boss: Never admit you were fairly beaten, blame the referee. Lambert – if he cannot come up with as transparent an excuse as those – shows that he really is not thinking from ko to final whistle.
Think about it, when was the last time you saw a passage of play and thought, they have worked on that in training?
Kyle naughton for 3m ?
fair point London lion. the interview after(Christ I forget which game now because the results and post match interviews are all the same)lambert mumbled the usual but it was worse mumbling than usual, he could barely say the words ‘we go again’ although he still did say them ffs!, I think it was the palace game actually, it was very sad and laughable at the same time, in fact I did laugh.
