Chez Posted 10 August, 2009 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?
Saint_clark Posted 10 August, 2009 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.
Cabrone Posted 10 August, 2009 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.
Draino76 Posted 10 August, 2009 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.
Professor Posted 10 August, 2009 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!
SaintNeil90 Posted 10 August, 2009 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 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.
Gorgiesaint Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 What's that coming over the hill it's Rickie Lambert! Great idea.... Who's that coming over the hill it's Rickie Lambert! it's Rickie Lambert! Who's that scoring a goal, it's Rickie Lambert! it's Rickie Lambert!
St.Patrik Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 Where is the AP comments on the OS about this signing ? Could it mean that its more to come today - or is that just asking to much ; ) COYR - Life is Sweet at the moment.
liquidsnake Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 Absolutely brilliant signing, and a nice transparent explanation from Bristol's point of view as well I think: http://www.bristolrovers.co.uk/page/LatestNews/0,,10328~1749339,00.html
Smirking_Saint Posted 10 August, 2009 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
Dan Johnson Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 Absolutely brilliant signing, and a nice transparent explanation from Bristol's point of view as well I think: http://www.bristolrovers.co.uk/page/LatestNews/0,,10328~1749339,00.html very refreshing to hear on an OS...
Ashby Saint Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 bet he brakes his leg tomorrow night If he does, I'm going to hold you personally responsible now!
corky morris Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 very refreshing to hear on an OS... All that stuff sounded like Rupert Lowe!
Professor Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 Apologies if this link has been posted on any of the previous 8 pages, but who does this strike remind you of?
Katalinic Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CJkwWs6--0 This one is amazing
opthomps Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 Great idea.... Who's that coming over the hill it's Rickie Lambert! it's Rickie Lambert! Who's that scoring a goal, it's Rickie Lambert! it's Rickie Lambert! Think it was originally done for Michael Chopra (which was very amusing)
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 \\:D/:partyman::smt038ALL TOGETHER NOW (to the tune of Yellow Submarine): When you're down, St Mary's Way Any given....

He scores so free and easy Does as he darn well pleasy Why don't you make your way there Go there, stay there Any given Saturday.....repeat. Watch this to get the idea:
wightman35 Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 bet he brakes his leg tomorrow night I hope that you meant that in the theatrical sense of "Good Luck." Not as in Stern J! (ok I know it was his Arm.) In any case, what a brilliant signing to start the week. Well done NC, AP and all. "Southampton F C;pride of the South!" It's starting to ring true again. Thank you TAC-TIC for your well informed posts:).
Saint_clark Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 I can actually have a name on the back of my new away shirt!
WATERSIDEIFASAINT Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 I read somewhere that 2 players were having medicals today/tomorrow so another signing may be imminent!?
CWD Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 I read somewhere that 2 players were having medicals today/tomorrow so another signing may be imminent!? stop it i cant take it anymore! i'll wake up soon...
alpine_saint Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 How the bloody hell did we manage to win the battle for his signing ? Lots of money ? Vision from AP ? I am really chuffed about this, but surprised..
Um Bongo Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 How the bloody hell did we manage to win the battle for his signing ? Lots of money ? Vision from AP ? I am really chuffed about this, but surprised.. Doubled his wage. Doubt Middlesbrough or any other team would be willing to do that.
Colinjb Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 How the bloody hell did we manage to win the battle for his signing ? Lots of money ? Vision from AP ? I am really chuffed about this, but surprised.. simple. Note to Gareth Southgate, you snooze, you LOSE!
derry Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 It doesn't matter who we stick up front if we create as many chances as we did on Saturday....

ruddick Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 Just posted this in other Lambert thread ... Echo site now have a pic and Lambert WILL be he new No. 7. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/453...ns_for_Saints/
thorpie the sinner Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 isn't it wierd that we have nearly forgotten about Lambert now we are waiting for the name attched to Tac-Tics midfielder lol???
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 Excellent signing! My 'man crush' on NC and AP grows!
CWD Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 isn't it wierd that we have nearly forgotten about Lambert now we are waiting for the name attched to Tac-Tics midfielder lol??? lambert...?
sambosa75 Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 I purposefully havent been keeping an eye on this thread because I never thought it would happen. Went on the Saints official website and its on there. I'm chuffed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CWD Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 i find it wierd that there is no official photo on the OS as they have clearly been taken. is this the OS being **** again or are they waiting til our mystery midfielder signs??
ruddick Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 i find it wierd that there is no official photo on the OS as they have clearly been taken. is this the OS being **** again or are they waiting til our mystery midfielder signs?? 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.
Toadhall Saint Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 Blimey. Given the #7 shirt... The No7 shirt should have been retired IMHO.
ruddick Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~1749693,00.html Not a great start - new striker and the OS can't spell his first name properly!
alpine_saint Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 The No7 shirt should have been retired IMHO. Yep. I sort of agree. Now Lambert has to play in the shadow, with very high expectation and the fans getting on his back if he doesnt deliver immediately and every game.
ruddick Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 The No7 shirt should have been retired IMHO. Good call.
Colinjb Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 Yep. I sort of agree. Now Lambert has to play in the shadow, with very high expectation and the fans getting on his back if he doesnt deliver immediately and every game. Sounds a bit Rudi if you ask me.
ruddick Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 Yep. I sort of agree. Now Lambert has to play in the shadow, with very high expectation and the fans getting on his back if he doesnt deliver immediately and every game. Agreed. 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.
SaintDonkey Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 The No7 shirt should have been retired IMHO. Should have been retired when Matt retired. Meaningless to retire it now - unless you mean retiring it in memory of Skacel?
Toadhall Saint Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 Should have been retired when Matt retired. Meaningless to retire it now - unless you mean retiring it in memory of Skacel? Not sure how those two could even be in the same sentence. MLT of course.
Causer Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 Great signing.I just hope we don't lose Rasiak or Saga as we need 4 strikers in case of injuries.
