Sam3773 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I'm for Lambert, but not just on his ability. I'm for getting the Beast back into action. Having someone to compete with might do that, and give us options. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 We have a big striker in Benteke, we can't play him and Lambert it wouldn't work at all. Playing two up top doesn't work but if we were going to get someone with Benteke then it needs to be a Defoe, Long, Austin type player. Someone who will work the channels, do the running and is a decent finisher. I don't think Lambert is amazing or anything but he's not just a typical target man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Where does it put us in the summer? Benteke, kozak, gabby, weimman and Lambert. A lot of high wages not really doing much. Lambert goes against a lot of what we've been doing these last few years. Guess it shows how desperate we are and the lack of faith in the squad and Lambert (manager one) to get us out of this mess.

foreveryoung Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Glad they ain't got the kiddies behind the presenters at the grounds anymore on SSN. I mean, really proved there's some right knobber youth out there. Some of them needed a early night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 2, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 2, 2015 When we've done this in the past - Sutton, Holt etc, I could see the point, they were relatively cheap short term solutions that could help the team and then we could all move on - even with Heskey, he was a year or two younger than Lambert is when he arrived. In essence, I'd be happy enough with Lambert on a free until the end of the season, but with the wages, this is going to cost us more than we paid for Benteke - that can't be a good idea can it? Forget the money for a second. It's not yours. Will this help to keep us in the division? The answer to that, for me, is an emphatic yes. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skarroki Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 We should go for Ricky van wolfswinkel. A striker that is utterly useless in front of goal in the premier league, and he knows what it takes to get relegated. Would fit right in 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all moan that Lerner won't spend, now he might give a few million and i think it would be a good signing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dAVe80 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I can't believe anyone actually believes the quoted £5M fee. Listening to Collymore earlier, he seems to think it'd be about half of that fee, with more being paid depending on the number of appearances he makes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget the money for a second. It's not yours. Will this help to keep us in the division? The answer to that, for me, is an emphatic yes. For me I don't really think it'll make a blind bit of difference - he's the fourth best striker at Liverpool and I think you can argue he'd be the fourth best striker here. I guess I just don't rate the player as highly as a lot of people seem to. I also can't ignore the money - we're putting a dent in the future in order to get a big lump that will give us nothing in particular for three months. For £100,000 we could employ a lookalike to lurk around the training ground and just tell Benteke we'd signed him - that'd be just as effective surely? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 As panic signings go - it would be a lot better than £24m. Regardless the fee is of little concern, at least it is small enough that it should be. It is the contract that would be worth questioning. I still think there's so very little chance of it happening that it's barely worth thinking about. Though maybe he genuinely is desperate to play regular football.
