DCJonah Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Guess all that matters is we stay up. A completely different signing to anything under Lambert so far. Hopefully it means the manager may still be sacked in the coming weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papillon Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 5-6M for a player that will turn 33 in two weeks? Who has flopped at Liverpool since joining them for a sum less than this? Are you kidding me? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Awesome. All these bullshit links are just for the goomba's at our club to save face by claiming that they tried. Maybe they did, but most other clubs who say they will do some business, actually do it. We seem to leave it late and end up with nothing. I heard we are after Juninho Or was it Benni McCarthy?

foreveryoung Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Lambert (Paul) only wants Lambert (Rickie) so he can hear the fans chanting his name. Shiiiiit! We won't be able to chant Lambert out now or raise the banners! Maybe Lambert (Paul) is a tactical genius after all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Dont mind it but for 6 mill ouch. Defo a panic buy IMO. We could have spent that more wisely i think but i guess no time. No news on that Izco guy i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayEm Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 £6m seems a bit much really, surely there are better players abroad for that kind of money. But if he's been brought in to help keep us up, we need an immediate impact from him- players coming in from abroad could need time to adapt. Just a suggestion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 £6m seems a bit much really, surely there are better players abroad for that kind of money. Spurs in for him at the last minute as they need someone to clean the thick layers of dust off their million pound trophy cabinet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Does make me wonder if something is happening in the summer, maybe Benteke will be moving on, or maybe there is money coming in from somewhere. This potential deal doesn't strike me as something typical of the current Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJT123 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 That's a fake account, and unfortunately, a false narrative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted February 2, 2015 Moderator Share Posted February 2, 2015 That's very kind Stefan. I'm not sure it's correct, but it's very kind. Lump might be a bit unfair I guess, he's been a decent pro all his career, an Anichebe level striker for me, but six years older. I just think it's such a waste of an opportunity - if we have £5m and enough money for £50k a week, there's so much more we could do with it. If he's here for three years, he'll cost as much as two Gil's - he'll be dearer than a couple of Krkic's, more expensive than a Podolski, we could get such a lot more with this sort of money - instead, we're going to wait until the last minute to throw it away on a decent pro right at the end of his career.

Mr_Dogg Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 5-6M for a player that will turn 33 in two weeks? Who has flopped at Liverpool since joining them for a sum less than this? Are you kidding me? Don't think he flopped really,just was signed and never played. But the fee is crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 My Southampton mate really rates him. Puts him just slightly below Le Tissier. I have a friend who is also big Saints fan, he rates him very highly too. Gets very frustrated with the lack of game time he gets at Liverpool 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
