Talks with Villa.

[morty 0]

Why is Lambert''s agent at Villa talking this over, and not the man himself?Seems a bit odd to me, you would have thought he would want to be there himself.Or is Lambert at Carrow road right now, thrashing it out with McNally?

I think there will be a twist in this before its over.

No twists I''m afraid Morty - from what I''ve been told Villa and Norwich are now discussing compensation.

Possibly but I won''t get your hopes up, you''re just setting yourself up for further dissappointment

Lambert recovering in hospital after a mass arse-kicking from a furious McNally who went all Incredible Hulk on him!

Hence the agent talks.

No, I don''t think there''s any twists. It''ll be toodlepip to the Scot, hello (insert name here).

I think Lambert received and accepted the offer weeks ago and it''s now just a case of formalities. Everything that has happened since with OGS and the other so called candidates has been a smokescreen to hide that he was tapped up weeks ago.

[/quote]I do and its the reason why I still have 1% hope that he will still be here next season.

I wish they''d hurry up - I''m sat here waiting to collect my winnings.

LOL?Wouldn''t it be easier to pick a more low key profile to use as your cover?

I think it proves that it''s less of an interview and more of a negotiation over wages and a new contract.

 

We''re well past the interview stage.

I presumed that Lambert would be in breach of contract if he were to talk with Villa without our permission, whereas his representative can do what he likes.

[/quote]So that blatently admits a certain amount of tapping up then?

Does seem weird that he''s not there himself. Maybe Lambert just handed in his resignation to teach the club a lesson after they denied him permission to speak to Villa; he has no real intentions of going but just wanted to give us all a fright [^o)]  Nah, maybe not.

[/quote]He sees what Villa has to offer, and gets himself a bigger transfer budget and a pay rise offered here?Win-win.And not beyond the realms of possibility.

Or maybe as Villa have made no secret about PL being their new number one target they don''t need to interview him?

 

His agent is thrashing out the numbers before he turns up to sign on the dotted line.
