Paul Lambert surprised by Aston Villa spending

Former Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert admits that he has been surprised by how busy the club has been in the summer transfer window.

Former Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert has admitted that he has been surprised by the club's summer spending.

Tim Sherwood has brought in 10 new faces to Villa Park in recent weeks at a reported cost of £50m.

When asked if the club's willingness to part with cash surprised him after being given little to work with during his time at Villa Park, Lambert told Sky Sports News: "It does a little bit. It makes me a laugh a little bit in the change in the policy but that's the way it is and good luck to Tim and Aston Villa in the future, whatever they want to do.

"Everybody has moved on and they have spent an awful lot of money. Tim will be upbeat going into the season with the squad that he's got and hopefully they can go and do it. It has probably been stop-start for them but we'll see how it goes."

Aston Villa are back in action this evening when they host Notts County in the second round of the League Cup.
