tonyh29 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I think it's been inevitable all summer so all that's left now is the fee announcement hopefully we've got the full amount on his release clause though we will put out the undisclosed story as we always do... And Liverpool fans will be on Twitter saying how we caved in and they got him for £25m and how he's worth £40m and they robbed us He'll do well at Liverpool , but he really could have done better ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I think everyone here thinks the same about lambert, easy lazy link following our previous managers interest, he's 33, hasn't played much football in the last year and will be on around £60k a week, would be poor business from us Well Shay Given and Stephen Ireland are off the books now. We need at least one crazy signing in the squad. I think it's inevitable Benteke will leave. I am very disappointed if he leaves on Liverpool's terms rather than ours.

PaulC Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Met a guy who used to work at Liverpool down the pub! Wait don't laugh he had some very interesting stuff on Suarez!! Remember the fist bite incident with ivanab&£@h well he was told that if he did that again he would be out! Then arsenal made that bid and it was rejected! He got angry at that so did the bite thing in the World Cup after getting word from barca that they would come in for him!!!! What a load of words removed but if that is true then we should reject the bid then Benteke will have to eat someone (Robbie savage) to get a move but Liverpool could not come in coz "they have standards " so barca will instead coz they like that kinda stuff Sorry but sounds like utter nonsense to me.

dAVe80 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) Based on Sherwood's comments about not signing player, coming for one last pay day, I'd say no way would Lambert be part of any deal. Edited July 13, 2015 by dAVe80 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the main thing for me, it does seem inevitable but I don't want us to bend in any way, even if he puts a transfer request in I don't want us to go for less than the clause Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Knowing Sherwood he won't let Liverpool win the media war. He will come out and say the **** paid full whack and then do his trademark grin like a boss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gompedyret Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 If they put in Balotelli, I'll be willing to take £30 mill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic09 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I do wonder who we've lined up to replace him... Is he going? I don't know, but it would be stupid if we hadn't already enquired about potential replacements... maybe there is no need? It just seems to me like we already said our goodbyes to him. If there was ever a time that I thought he would be likely to stay it is now, much more so then in the last 3 years of lambert crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndJo Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I can see Liverpool coming in as soon as Sterling leaves with a bid around the 27/28m mark which will probably be rejected. Wouldn't mind us trying to get Enrique in as part of the deal perosnally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Why Enrique? He's played half a dozen games in two years because his ankle is shot to bits, and a bad ankle injury (as with any joint injury) really can finish you as a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightysasquatch Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) Anyone else seen the ghost tweet by Benteke? He posted/deleted it but someone got a screen grab....maybe BS but it's from his account so could of been photoshopped. It read "I'll miss you villa. Thank you & good luck" I have the picture but am on phone so can't post it. Edited July 14, 2015 by mightysasquatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Max Jacobs tweeted the clause has been met as well Yup, definitely seems a goer, curious to see who the replacement is. Have said before I really wouldn't be averse to say 28 or 29 mill with Balotelli on loan plus another permanent striker. I still think he has it in him. That said would defo rather the cash, we would be better or buying quickly though before news is confirmed and clubs try to fleece us! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
