Ricky Lambert?

 

[Badgers]

Ricky Lambert?

Lambert & Butler?

 

[tommers]

I hear that the price offered is £32m for the three players and the way the deal is structured Bournemouth will miss out on some sell on money

Classy.

 

[Badgers]

Classy.

Yeah. Seems a bit off these sell on clauses. Bale was the worst example

 

[tommers]

What happened with that?

 

[Badgers]

What happened with that?

Not really Spurs fault but Southampton suffered there.

Southampton missed out on £21.3million

Bale left St Mary's to sign for Tottenham in 2007 for £5 million, plus £5m in potential add-ons, and a sell-on clause guaranteeing Southampton 25% of any future transfer away from White Hart Lane. But the Saints renegotiated the deal when they found themselves in financial difficulties in 2008, accepting £3m to waive any future income from Bale

Ah yeah. I remember that now. Unfortunate.

Done deal for Lambert subject to medical - I'd rather him coming on than Aspas - who we'll hopefully flog back to Spain for around 3-4 Mil.

 

[Sunray]

I really rate Ricky Lambert. He's strong, cool headed, retains the ball and a 1/2 decent eye for goal and a good pass. One of Southampton's better players last year.

Only downside is his age, difficult to assess how long he can play on for before he has to stop. Craig Bellamy has been taking anti-inflammatory drugs every day for the last 4 years and retired because he said his body couldn't really take any more and he's 34.

But if it means we get Lallana then even better.

 

[Badgers]

I rate Lambert too. My guess is (if we hold on to Luis Starfish) that he will allow a bit more striker rotation rather than being a regular starting striker.

Longer (hopefully ) season ahead next year with European games.

 

[Utopia]

Anyone think the Lambert purchase is possibly in preparation for the departure of that nice Suarez fella?

 

[big eejit]

I hear Gerrard has put an application in....

I was wondering that, but think Liverpool will want to show more ambition. And presumably will have a lot more money to do so if he goes.

Is that in relation to his 'slip' last season or the other 'slip up' he allegedly made with a barely legal girl he had a kid with....allegedly.

Or his extreme insistence on the DJ playing Phil Collins. Going to be a busy lad.

 

[sleaterkinney]

Done deal for 4m, he'll be a good plan B.



Sorry about the music.

 

[strung out]

The best goal he ever scored:

 

[Voley]

Done deal for 4m, he'll be a good plan B.

I thought that. He'll be good against a bus-parking team when you need to change things a bit. Still hopeful the Lallana deal goes through - last I heard we'd made a final offer of 25m.

 

[Sunray]

I think Southampton will take it, its an improved offer and he wants to go to Liverpool. I also don't think he's currently good enough to command more.

 

[goldenecitrone]

I hope so. That's going to give us an amazing attack force if Suarez stays put.

 

[Voley]

Might hinge on how much he liked playing for Pochettino.

I think £25m is about the limit for Llandudno Bananaman. I read that Southampton wanted £30m for him when they rejected the first £20m bid from Liverpool

 

[Badgers]

Might hinge on how much he liked playing for Pochettino.

Yeah. I suppose he could play for Pochettino for a about 4 months until he gets sacked. Also he can enjoy the magic that only the early stages of the Europa league can deliver.

 

[Badgers]

Just picked up a 1992 FA Cup Final programme.

Liverpool vs Sunderland

 

[Sunray]

Do we need it? Did score 101 goals last season.

I'd like an amazing defence.

Watched that in a bar in Watford with a Sunderland mate.

Yes. Suarez and Sturridge are bound to get injured at some point next season. We are also trying to buy several quality defenders. I'm sure we will have a stronger defence by August.

 

[Favelado]

As well as a defender I hope we buy one tough-tackling, defensively-minded midfielder to mitigate against Gerrard's age and the possible decline of Leiva.

 

[Voley]

What's the deal with Borini? Is he on the way back again now? He played well last season.

I heard he was off?
