Dodgyknees Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 So, you are saying Lambert would make the same choices as MON? Lambert has the same scouting network, would waste money and does not deserve backing? You don't trust him? Because if PL wanted a player, I would back him 100% - if he wanted Kiyo, I would back him at the £10m estimated price. He is not MON. That isn't what your original post said at all. Your original post claimed that teams like Cardiff and Southampton are spending £12m on players and therefore next season they'll do better than us and will be sniffing around Westwood and Lowton and we'd do well to keep them. I'm saying that spending lots of money doesn't by itself guarantee success, and can indeed even be unhelpful in the long run (as our recent history suggests). I really don't believe that the fact we're not buying expensive players means we're going to be losing our good players to other mid-table teams any time soon. Whether Lambert gets backed is a different question. For the record, yes, I think Lambert would do well if given a big pot of money. However with the club in the current state it is in I can understand why the management may not want to do so, and the fact he is able to buy good quality players cheaply is probably a major factor in why he got the job in the first place. You were being overly dramatic to illustrate your point, essentially. I do partially agree with the point you were making, but not the logic you were using to justify it. EDIT - removed the massive multi-quote. Yes,that was one part of my post. Context. I'm now bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehardvillan Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Sounds like Kozak will be only incoming according to Kendrick. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Still think there may be a second player but that certain players will need to leave for that one to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Hands seems to think Kozak is the only one. I'm not ITK or anything, just thinking out loud. Richard said in the past that there could be 2 more coming in and I reckon that the second will probably depend on the likes of Given, Ireland and Bannan leaving, which is pretty unlikely.

PieFacE Posted September 1, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted September 1, 2013 Apparently the odds have been slashed on us loaning Lukaku. Inrecdibly unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Yeah but we don't play with 3 strikers in a strikers role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoony Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Apparently the odds have been slashed on us loaning Lukaku. Inrecdibly unlikely. Yes I've seen this doing the rounds. Surely won't happen. I don't know what we'd even do with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Madrid supposedly gonna bid 45m for Suarez which would mean Liverpool could be on the look out for a striker... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted September 1, 2013 Moderator Share Posted September 1, 2013 We are so desperate for creativity I will be shocked if we sign someone who isn't an creative attacking midfielder Then I think you are in for a shock. Told you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_John_10 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 My only hope for another signing is the fact we've obviously looked at a creative midfield type this summer. Here's hoping for one more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Me neither. We still lack creativity through the middle and a good set piece taker. Will be a little disappointed if we only sign Kozak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
