We don't seem to be hanging about this year do we! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordanderve Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 Lambert is the most interesting manager we have had since Gregory. I love what he is trying to do with us. Whether it works is a different matter but I am enjoying the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaglint Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Didn't think Benteke looked all that on YouTube when we signed him and the man turned into a true monster. Difficult to get an idea of what kind of player this kid will be for us...very exciting though how this is all shaping up. How long until the first friendly???
