Chez Posted 10 August, 2009 Share Posted 10 August, 2009 So he doubled his wages - not a bad move for him then - this must mean that either Saga or Rasiak is off soon ? The Rasiak "injury" sugests he will go before Saga. I wonder if we will recoup much of the £1m for Lambert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 10 August, 2009 Share Posted 10 August, 2009 It doesn't matter who we stick up front if we create as many chances as we did on Saturday.... Two wide players with pace who can cross the ball are a must now ( as well as a centre back, a box to box central midfielder who can run, pass and tackle) We had 11 shots on goal on saturday, which is more than Millwall had. And you'll find all box to box midfielders who can run, pass and tackle playing in the Prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabrone Posted 10 August, 2009 Share Posted 10 August, 2009 Now we have a goal machine we need a good ball winning midfield general + a good wide man to give him some service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draino76 Posted 10 August, 2009 Share Posted 10 August, 2009 Brilliant. he even looks a bit like me; which means I should get a bit more sex in the city right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Posted 10 August, 2009 Share Posted 10 August, 2009 Almost 500 people on the site at this time (2pm) is more evidence - as if its needed - of the impact of this signing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintNeil90 Posted 10 August, 2009 Share Posted 10 August, 2009 makes me laugh that previously in this thread it was mentioned that a rovers fan thinks we arnt a big club anymore yet we have just attracted their best player and doubled his wages!

labibs Posted 10 August, 2009 Share Posted 10 August, 2009 I'm absolutely delighted with this signing. It's a massive statement of intent from AP and the board. Lambert and Paterson could be a quality front two for this division. He'll be on decent money, but almost certainly less than Saga and Greg individually. Finally we have the target man up front we've been lacking since Kenwynne left. Bit random that he played on Sat if this move was in the works, but thankfully he didn't get injured. Really fired up for the new season now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgiesaint Posted 10 August, 2009 Share Posted 10 August, 2009 What's that coming over the hill it's Rickie Lambert! Great idea....

Smirking_Saint Posted 10 August, 2009 Share Posted 10 August, 2009 Pato and lambert would be a good pairing but i would much rather have a small nippy forward playing off ricky, or even try lallana, i just hope this doesn't stop paterson getting game time as i believe he has a good future ahead of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will probably have been a press photo-call at Staplewood - so the OS prob will have sent a photographer but Echo can just email it back as soon as it happens. I would imagine a release went to the paper with details of the photo-call in, say, an hours time after the release is sent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With double wages from last job he will have high expectations - needs to be top goalscorer in the League or thereabouts if he gets enough games and keeps fit.
