PaulC Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Not too good to refuse if we get relegated because from what I saw of the midfield yesterday we are crap without Delph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 £7.5m?? Is Dalglish back in charge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) Put most of whatever we get toward Lambert's pay off. Screw that! Give Lambert the opportunity to improve our attacking options. I have no doubt that given 7.5 mill + then Lambert could find one or two very good players. I do however have huge doubts that he could get anything like the best out of those players either has individuals or more importantly mold them into an effective team alongside the other players we have. We have a decent squad now. A squad that is capable of having scored way more than 12 goals in 23 games two of which were against lower league opposition at home. The art of being able to buy players and get more purchases right than wrong is only part of the job. In fact if you can't get anything approaching the best out of those players or mold them into an effective team then it almost makes the fact that you are decent in the transfer market irrelevant.

useless Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 If we sell Delph for 7.5 million, I think one of the first things that will happen is that the Cleverly deal will be made permanent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, great idea. Let's give our worst, most tactically inept manager in living memory even more money to waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Swap Delph for Ricky Lambert. Doubt they would pay 7.5 mill for him but they prob swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 What's Borini doing these days maybe include a loan as part of any deal, he was one of the better players at Sunderland last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Borini? haha! Worst suggestion ever. No it's not, based on what? I watched Sunderland plenty of times last season and along with Ki he was easily there best player. It'd only be a short term fix though as we wouln't be able to afford his wages.

useless Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Well I've just seen that he started yesterday so no chance anyway, I thought he was way out of favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Lambert isn't the answer because we don't create chances and he's not the type of player to do it on his own. Lucas is not what we need. We need attacking midfield players not defensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What could he possibly offer us? He's not creative and he's not much of a goalscorer either. Would be a massive, massive waste of time and money.

useless Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Pretty sure he (Borini) scored ten goals for Sunderland (seven in the league) last season. I know it's not amazing but better than Weimann and Agbonlahor look set to do and he played in a similar position to them. Not sure about assists though, I know that Sunderland fans were desperate to sign him but he priced himself out of a move with his wage demands. Doesn't matter anyway because he started for Liverpool at the weekend so unlikely to be going anywhere on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 It's not amazing, no. It was his best premier league season ever and it's still pretty meh. We need creative players - not strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Well we aren't going to be signing anyone who's done amazing are we? It wasn't the 'worst suggestion ever' either. It was his best Premier league season so far because it's also the only one where he's played on a regular basis. As I say he played in similar position to Weimann and Agbonlahor so not an out and out striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
