This was posted on twitter today.
Clearly on the tour this player was being shown around, who is he ?
The bellsareringing posted this on twitter on the Tour and Lambert was with him . He has a few more details and clearly was closer to him that the picture shows.
I’m just on a villa park tour and Paul Lambert walks in to the dressing room showing around a player. Don’t recognise them though. #UTV
We think it is the guy in the white tee shirt that is the player and some suggestion it is Ramis but the one in the Blue tee shirt could be Luuk De Jong, love mystery’s !!
A consensus is forming that the guy in white is Ivan Ramis Real Mallorca Centre Back.
I have done a check and Ramis’s agent seems to be Javier Diaz but no pictures of him to confirm guy in blue shirt.
EDIT
For those understandable sceptics @maztalor_avfc (LINK) has posted a series of photo’s and it is Lambert and one is clearer
Another picture from maztalor I missed
Now there is another one there in a hoodie not like an agent is he ? Could be a Villa memember of staff but I doubt it.
EDIT 18:45 –
And now we have a clear picture of blue shirt man and clear not De Jong but a much older man, not a player
It has now been said that the hoodie man is Ron Vlaar – central defender – Feyenoord Central defender WIKI LINK
I found out as the blue shirt man was identified as Arnold Oosterveer and just a quick search found out he was agent to Vlaar
Now Matt on this page as a comment did say
I was speaking to Marc albrighton last night at a local event he told me he has a stress fracture of 4th metatarsal he has a boot on it at the mo and he’s gutted to be missing the start, he said a centre half is having a look round today and if I interpreted it correctly was from Dutch football as al Ahmadi, said he was useful! I’m no itk just opportunistic info.
fits in with what we now know, good one Matt !!
And a youtube clip of Feyenoord fans singing his name
Some rumour Ron Vlaar is a Bosman, that is not right, I trust transfer market implictly and they say until 2014, would cost about £5M. LINK
EDIT 20:25
News has reached the Feyenoord fans – LINK of this news. Also a facebook friend of mine (an ex work colleague) is a fan of Feyenoord and reckons he is very good and worth around £8M.
Whoever they are, if that’s Lambert on the right he aint doing a very good job of showing them around, they appear to be headed in different directions.
Are we becoming a job centre ? come on, we do tours and remember we have the games coming up.
I’m pretty sure this is NOT Ramis. I simply base my conclusion on the clothes and shoes he is wearing which is a BIG tell.
Come on Villa need him …. Lambert come on
for those sceptics, check my update
Look absolutely nothing like him. Sorry.Unless Ramis is 15 yrs old than we thought.
when was this tour as ive looked at the pics and last seasons kit are on the pegs!!!
they still are as no new numbers given out, it was today …
lets stop being cynical !!
there is something in it, whether its ramis or whether it is someone else, lambert wouldnt be doing the tours unless there his best mates or something! i think he is showing the agent around maybe because we are in america next week and IF he is a agent and a new player they’ll head over to the states as soon as theyve signed obviously but i am hoping for some movement next week as PL said himself a week ago expect few more in the next few weeks
http://www.footballgossip.org.uk/index.php/2012/07/15/aston-villa-transfer-news-and-rumours-sunday-15-july/ cant be him then
why not, where in that piece does it state he is not leaving ?
did i say that, if he is still in mallorca that isnt him is it
Its very possible that is Ramis if you search a side shot pic on google they have the same features i.e. shape nose and eye area.

It’s 100 percent Lionel messi!
Not sure what kind of tour that is with them clearly headed in separate directions.
you mean the manager on his own speaking to three youngish guys in the Exec area is a special tour for just fans ??
read the other twitter and check picture eh ?
1 million% not ramis agent in the back ground “magico” for 1 ain’t that tall and in 1985 had long black hair (when he played in Spain) 27 years is a Long time but it does pass for ramis possibly at the front and luuk de Jong at the back but surely that’s just wishful thinking?
Just to confirm though de jong is pure speculation think he wants borussia monchgladbach but it would be nice lol
looks more like rory delap
Personally I’d rather see Douglas or dede but that’s just me
While this isn’t as embarrassing as when avillafan labelled two random Asian blokes at Villa hospitality as our potential new owners, it’s slowly heading that way.
It may very well be a new player/s, or agents but it’s quite clear that no-one really has a clue exactly who, yourself included.
Hence the question, hmmm
do you think Paul Lambert spends casual sunday’s at VP day before a US tour
I mean some even doubt it is Lambert, jeeez
It is definately Paul Lambert you can tell its him a blind man could.Dunno about ramis looks a bit like him.
Toivonen in the blue???? Ramis up front?????
to old for toivonen
How sad is this we have to guess who these people are so disappointed we aren’t signing who are recognisable at least ffs
It looks like OGS being shown round by Mr Lerner
