S-Clarke Posted 9 August, 2009 Share Posted 9 August, 2009 (edited) http://www.brfcforum.co.uk/index.php?showforum=74 you have to register, but they sound pretty resigned to him leaving. ''Yes i agree Lisa but to a team in the Championship. Lambert is a lot better footballer than some people make out and definitely has the talent to make it in the Championship Cant really see why he would want to go to Southampton.'' It's because we are rich I guess we'll hear more about this tomorrow, i really hope it's true. Edited 9 August, 2009 by S-Clarke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMikey Posted 9 August, 2009 Share Posted 9 August, 2009 They don't seem too happy on the forum, hoping that they'd get more than 800k, think they're assured relegation now, can't believe he's gone to a team in our league...blah blah blah. It's nice to be a buying club Hopefully this rumour is true, because he's exactly what we need. We were crying out for a target man on Saturday, hopefully we can start scoring some goals now!

He would be perfect, proven in this league, big/strong and isn't too old to make it higher up. Apparently flash has highlighted him as one to ''watch'' and ''get'' - he has a big dossier on this league and helped Pearson last season with their recruitment/match scouting.

S-Clarke Posted 9 August, 2009 Share Posted 9 August, 2009 Someone is slightly behind the times on their forum There is talk of Southampton spending money. But i'm afraid this is a Walter Mitty story made up by a fisherman on Southampton harbour looking at each Red Funnel ship passing by. They are £35 million in debt and only just paid there wages in time last month. Now I thought the Hudds story was a joke but this beats the lot. Chrisy Boy!

Another quote from the Rovers web site regarding Lambert , i tried to post a reply but it was blocked ? Where are you getting those figures from?? Even assuming they were in some sense accurate (though the 30 million still owed for SMS pretty certainly isn't), they are irrelevant. You see, such debts were owed by SLH, and Liebherr did not buy SLH and so assume its debts. Instead he bought SFC and SMS from the administrator for an agreed price (rumoured to have been in the 12-15 million range), and the administrator then wound up SLH, paying off the creditors a pro-rated percentage of what they were owed. That's been gone over time and again on this forum and in the media, and I'm astonished that anyone still does not get it! Liebherr got the club fairrly cheap, and can afford to spend a bit on players if he choses. Lambert and Craddock would do nicely to beghin with I'd say ...

We moan about players lacking pace and mobility in our side, but Campbell has all the agility of a combine harvester these days. Added to that he'd spent his whole career in the Prem, playing for teams like Arsenal. If he came he it would just be for wages and I doubt he would look remotely interested. It would be like Fowler and Hasslebaink at Cardiff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having already earned millions you'd have to wonder why he would even want to drop down to the Championship though, never mind League 1 or 2. Never going to happen. No doubt he's a good player and if he gave 100% then would be great for us but......would he be that committed? To be fair he's always looked like he's given everything in games I've seen so this is a more general "Is it worth spending a lot of money on players with good reputations in higher leagues but who will naturally see us as one last payday?" There are bargains to be had that won't cost the earth and if they have the passion and ambition then maybe that's what we should be looking at? Take that Tom Craddock fella - decent education at 'Boro and must be desperate to prove himself - he could be the guy who people want to sign for seven figures in two years time. Oh, and I know they play in different positions - I was just using him as an example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know what club he's from or how much the fee is. So on the basis of the other thread it would be Martin Christensen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Christensen He hasn't played much. Loaned out to Lyngby in January 2009 and played zero times. Played zero times for Charlton too. Certainly doesn't sound like a big signing. Also worth noting that wiki has him down as a midfielder / striker, while soccerbase lists him as a defender: http://www.soccerbase.com/players_details.sd?playerid=46589 Don't we already have a utility player that doesn't play much from Stoke?

Melbourne Saint Posted 12 August, 2009 Share Posted 12 August, 2009 I'm not sure if any of you caught the Ireland vs Australia game that was just on but there are a number of Aussie players who are not getting game time for their clubs. One in particular I think we should look at is David Carney who has been completely frozen out at Sheffield United. He's currently on trial at Anderlecht but if that's not successful he's going to need find a team by the end of the transfer window. The players have basically been told if they don't get first team football they won't be in the WC squad. He's a left sided attacking midfielder that has been successfully turned into a left back for the national team. Anybody who saw his strike from 30+ yards in the final minute of the game tonight had to be impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
