smetrov Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert is weighing up a deadline-beating move for namesake Southampton striker Rickie Lambert. Villa have had a £5.5million bid for Genk striker Christian Benteke turned down by the Belgian club, so are now looking at last-minute alternatives before the summer window closes on Friday night] clicky I kid ye not !

smetrov Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 Only Aston Villa - could bid for Christan Benteke - and end up with Rikki Lambert - even the names sound poles apart ! Can't possibly see why saints would sell - hope its a bluff to Genk that we will look elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 would prefer benteke. Good to see a back up suggestion mind you. Lambert would be a decent back up, too, but would definitely prefer our first choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcTheObsession Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Can't possibly see why saints would sell - hope its a bluff to Genk that we will look elsewhere. I'm sure Genk would laugh and leave us to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Don't think Saints will sell this late. He's a talisman for them in the same ways Grant Holt is for Norwich so can see why PL would be interested. I do think he'll score goals in the prem.

Mattyp_avfc Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Doubt it will happen... Soton would want silly money!!! Benteke please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterms Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Can't possibly see why saints would sell - hope its a bluff to Genk that we will look elsewhere. I'm sure Genk would laugh and leave us to it! Genk's choice is simply to sell or not sell, and at what price. I'd be astonished if they saw press reports about our other hypothetical choices as a factor, or accounted for this in their response to any bids we make.

AVFCforever1991 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Would rather Benteke, he will have a sell on value. Rickie Lambert doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted August 28, 2012 Moderator Share Posted August 28, 2012 Can't possibly see why saints would sell - hope its a bluff to Genk that we will look elsewhere. Because they've already signed his replacement in Emmanuel Makuka from young Boys of Berne (fnar fnar) Lambert and the Southampton management appeared to have some kind of falling out where he was left on the bench against Citeh, then he scored when he came off the bench and seemed to be making a point to the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCAM Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Heskey MKII if we sign Lambert, no sell on value, not sure he'll maintain his current form for long... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8pints Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Heskey MKII if we sign Lambert, no sell on value, not sure he'll maintain his current form for long... Mmm this could very well become true if we did sign him. Seems to have gone quiet concerning him though so maybe we won't have to find out.
