foreveryoung Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 He is a grounded guy and at least should put shift in for us. Like I said earlier in the thread, will be someone else to mark, opening up the oppositions defense. At the moment its mark Benteke out the game and we have.........................................................................F*** all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 £6m is very excessive for someone of his age but that said he'd come in and improve us straight away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees 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 Yeah my friends were mostly gutted when he left.

Mr_Dogg Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Ricky Lambert is a leader and a big personality which will certainly be a benefit in a quiet dressing room. Best case scenario is a loan until the end of the season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Very unfair to call Lambert 'a lump' You're usually far better than this OBE. Have you read your posts on cleverly? Do you just enjoy causing arguments? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj_iow Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I have seen Lambert play quite a bit as have attended quite a few saints matches over the last 4-5 years and have to say i always wanted us to sign him, his overall team play is massively under appreciated and I don't think i've seen many better or should I say more intelligent in the air period. He would give us something entirely different to anything we have currently and would describe him as most similar to Sheringham at that age, how much would you have paid for a 32 year old Sheringham today?

vandaq Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Really doubt it's gonna be that high. Lambert is pretty decent though so I would be happy with that. Not sure how it will play out here however... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briny_ear Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Wow, £6m would leave Liverpool with a £2m profit on a player who hasn't really cut it in his half season with them. Would love to have Lambert at VP (Rickie, I hasten to add, not Paul) but this smacks of just a touchette of panic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would much rather we tried to loan him or someone like that!! shows where we are compared to where they are, then add in koeman, we'd have no chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papillon Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 £6m is very excessive for someone of his age but that said he'd come in and improve us straight away. Would he? We have Christian Benteke, who is struggling because we are insanely weak in midfield... why would Rickie Lambert make us better? They are hardly a match made in heaven. It's players like Kieran Richardson that needs to be thrown out, with him in our team we will actually relegate quite easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted February 2, 2015 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. Anichebe level? Sorry BOF but you're so wrong. 29 goals in the PL in 2 years and a hatful of assists. Anichebe has never hit double figures.

Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 £6M for Rickie Lambert! OMG EFFIN GOD! FFS! This is RIDICULOUS. What a PANIC BUY! I can't see all the posts pointing out its a fake account because I'm too angry. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 He is a good striker but it would be a very short-term Martin O'Neill signing. I'd like Cahill as he would provide goals from midfield and not cost a fee and probably take a shorter contract, whereas Lambert would probably only take 2 and a half years minimum for a fee we will never make back in a position we already have Benteke for. The key is to provide for Benteke, then he will be sniffing out goals more, not get another striker with similar strengths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 If we pay £6m for Rickie Lambert it will be an absolute disgrace. For a 33 year old that is a complete and utter waste of money. He can play one position and that is centre forward. We can't get the bloody ball to a centre forward who scored 20 odd goals for us 2 years ago. How are we going to get it to Rickie Lambert? Absolute panic buy, with no sell-on value and who, in my opinion, is not an improvement on anyone we already have - IF bought!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
