I'd argue the toss on that, Murray is a more complete forward IMO.

From a football point of view (and in terms of just growing up, ffs!) it would probably do him a power of good. However, can't see him (or his agent) accepting a massive pay cut - and having him in your Championship team on £100K a week (whoever is paying all or part of it) would be a massive cause of discontent among the rest of the team - especially as I think the boy is just too stupid not to flaunt it.

I did say maybe................. Long experience of playing at a higher level in the PL than Murray, though, and a full England international, are factors in Lambert's favour. Age against him, though (though after what we've seen of Bruno, maybe we shouldn't worry too much about that!) Anyway, he is similar to Murray and Hemed; if we hadn't got Murray, I'd be all for getting Lambert in, but as things stand, I think our needs are elsewhere.

Wednesday sign another defender.
I still think we need at least one more player as cover at the back

French CB from Braga. Sassy or something
It seems that other clubs can find them but we are struggling unless of course we have 1 lined up just biding our time to get him for a lower price.
He wouldn't have a pay cut if his wages are picked up by his first team, and it wouldn't cause discontent if he's not earning more from the club he's at. It didn't when Wayne Bridge came here on a huge wage.

Sasso? Already on loan last season there... Can we sign Ridgewell?

Maybe. But Bridge played brilliantly and appeared to have a good attitude and to be a team player. He may have been on a huge wedge, but he didn't appear to flaunt it.
Ballotelli doesn't have that much sense (and because of his consistent failures to settle at one club and moving for silly money time and time again, I suspect he's on a lot more than Wayne Bridge was).

It was suggested that to over come GM 30k per week the club pay a weekly fee to Bournemouth for the loan and Bournemouth still pay his wages.

I don't think they did as the Villa owner pulled the plug on the deal at the last minute after Villa got beat by Luton. Bennett is still at Villa as far as I know.

Not sure I havent read anymore other than he was joining Wed and taking a 7k per week pay cut to get regular football. Wiki shows still at Villa.
Where was that suggested

I read the same story, can't remember where though?

I read it somewhere as we didnt want to break our wage levels. That seems logical.
