LAMBERT: SINCLAIR CAN REVIVE CAREER
Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert believes winger Scott Sinclair can still have a career at the top level despite his move to Manchester City stalling his career.
Lambert has been linked with a move for the former Swansea star with Sky sources understanding Villa have yet to reach City’s valuation of the player. But Lambert remained tight-lipped over any potential move for the 25-year-old, despite claiming he can revive his career in the Premier League.
"I know the lad from his Swansea days. I know exactly what he can do, he was top, top class in that side." he said.
"It's been a hard move for him going to Man City, but the year he had at Swansea in the Premier League he was outstanding. So he has got it in him, he can be a real good player.
"It is what it is at the minute. It is unfair of me to comment on someone that is not here," he added. "Everyone knows the situation and where the club is, it's not changed from last year," said Lambert, who confirmed skipper Ron Vlaar is out for up to six weeks with a knee injury.
"If something can be done which isn't going to put the club in a position of madness and not going to financially hurt the place then the chairman will be good on that front."
