I know I really shouldn’t do this, but after watching the rubbish on display today, I thought it was worth a laugh;
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2523806/THE-FOOTBALL-GRAPEVINE-Young-lined-Villa-return-Barkley-commit-future-Everton.html
This story is rubbish in so many ways, that it’s, just well… total and utter rubbish.
For a start, we offered Young £70,000 a week to stay, by all accounts.
So why would he accept the £20,000 we’d probably offer him?
Second, he’s a diving idiot, which is why Moyes wants rid (and fair play to him, for that).
And I won’t even mention the fact that he’d be booed everytime he stepped out onto the hallowed turf, purely because he thought he was a big fish in a little pond, who actually turned out to be a very little fish in a big pond.
That, plus the fact that he’s been incredibly poor for Utd.
Then add in the fact that Lambert doesn’t like/understand what wide players might have to offer and you see this link is just a total joke.
It is the Mail though, to be fair, so we shouldn’t be surprised.
If we were ever to re-sign him, I really think I’d never set foot in Villa park again.
It’s that serious.
And I really liked him, when he played for us.

This is embarrasing… people are actually comparing Lambert to McLeish!! Sure, the position’s we finished in under McLeish in his one season was similar to where we ended up last season under Lambert, but that’s the only comparison I’m getting! I remember before McLeish got sacked, we were being linked with players like Karl Henry… instead we ended up with Christian Benteke. Sure our style of play isn’t very attractive… but how many times did Manure play beautiful football under Ferguson. Again, it isn’t very attractive.. but it’s effective. I remember when Lambert came in, the talk was “slow and steady progress, that’ll do me”.. where has that gone? Well Lambert has kept his side of the bargain, there is a massive improvement, look at where we are in the table compared to this time last year.. we sit comfortably mid -table. Do ye forget that before Dortmund made any real progress, they actually got relegated.. People calling for Lambert’s head at this stage should be ashamed, for once we have had a season where we aren’t hovering above the bottom 3 and we don’t have to look over our shoulders after every game.. this is what we were crying out for in previous seasons when we scrapped with relegation.. Lambert is slowly delivering, give him time.. be patient. Miracles don’t happen overnight.
