It appears Holt is really happening. A player who can't get into the Wigan team at the Championship. That will get the spirits up of the team and fans. Great ambition there.
Lambert got it all wrong again. Spend the first half defending and inevitably concede two goals. Would have been better off just telling his players to go at Arsenal and attack. Negative ancient tactics.
Villa sign Chelsea's Ryan Bertrand on loan for 6 months, I feel this is a very good signing. Its certaintly better than the Grant Holt signing.
I feel Bertrand will add a bit of quality in the left back position, Luna has been poor of late and Joe Bennett has disapeared off the radar. So credit to Lambert for making this unexpected move.
We still need a right back, centre back ( perhaps on a short loan as Okore might be back in April) and a creative midfielder. Lambert has ruled out moves for Steven Defour and Hiroshi Kiytake today.
Incidentally, great to see Stan Petrov looking so well. Not only that but an interesting, articulate pundit with good insight into the game. I hope SKY make more frequent use of him.
