Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Paul Lambert, Aston Villa manager (Q: You've been linked to getting an attacking midfielder, will there be any moves in the January transfer window?) "No listen there's loads of names out there and players out there that we've looked at to see, but yeah we have just keep on looking. You scour everywhere - Europe, everywhere. As I said before the January window is a really tough, tough window to do anything. But the two lads that have come in have been excellent for us."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Paul Lambert, Aston Villa manager (Q: Is it harder to prepare given that the opposition manager Pepe Mel has only been there for a few weeks and managed for just one game?) "Yeah it could be, yeah it could be that affect, but as I said there, I think regardless of who is in charge a derby game will take care of itself, the atmosphere will lift everybody. So it doesn't matter who is in the technical area as such, it's a derby."
