He has said he would like a "good" club in CCC or higher. But if good opportunity does not come in he loves it here - didn't want to go on loan last year.

 

Pretty much sitting on fence and keeping options open.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if he stays, and if he plays like he did against Hearts will be happy for him to do so.

I think '1' of the poles will stay.

 

Read Pards comments in the echo tonight and TBF it doesn't sound like a manager who's preparing to lose both Poles.

 

Something along the lines of : Lambert’s move means they now possess some real firepower and proven options in attack that can help push them up the league.''

Rasiak up fornt with Lambert!!!?

 

We're not trying to out pace them then! :???:

 

If we play it along the ground and use the wingers and full backs to get to the by-line we wont need to break the offside trap too often. At least we know that both strikers are capable of scoring from all directions. with either foot and their heads.

I doubt it. All depends on his wage demands I suppose.

 

His wage demands are only relevant if he is going to extend his contract. ATM he is under contract, so his wages will be the same as ever.

No it doesn't, he is under contract. It depends on whether anyone is willing to sign him.

I think the majority of us would like to see him stay - and score lots of goals -but the truth of the matter is more likely to be that tonights game is a showcase for him - and if he scores a couple - he'll be on his way to Watford by the weekend. I only hope we recover a fair portion of the £2 million we paid Spurs, as I think we didn't get all our money's worth - even though his 20 goal season was nice to see.

I doubt it to be honest, he didnt want to be here last season, and i dont think much would have changed. Tho Watford did just buy Graham from Carlisle and they seem the only side interested.

Strength in depth..........its a long season. As long as they stay motivated keep both Poles.

 

Well keeping Rasiak this season is going to cost the club £800k in wages + whatever we can get now in a transfer fee - a combined number well north of £1m I'd say . For that kind of money we could sign another player of Ricky Lambert's quality who actually wants to play for this club , I ask you which is the better way to spend the clubs cash ?

Surely, if someone is that interested in signing him they'd not want him Cup-tied this evening?

 

Interesting... if we can keep him and he puts the effort in that'd be unbelievable good news for us. Rasiak and Lambert are easily capable for 20+ goals each. Won't hold my breath though as Ras could easily play above League 1.

But then you'd have to offset the cost of wages for the new player...

rasiak is the kind of player we could not attract to the club money or no money. if we can keep him and he can be motivated then we should.

 

the only worry is a lack of mobility up front.

Great news if he stays, hope we can get the ball crossed into the box (good wingers) if we (AP) gets it right which I feel over time he will, we will be a real force.

He certainly has talent and a bit of quality but he's just so ****ing lazy. If he started playing like he was interested he could easily get 20 goals this season.

Totally agree. Dont think anyone can dispute his goal-scoring ability but if he stays then he is going to have to put a bit more effort into playing for the team instead of himself. Amen

They still need strikers, they have: Graham, Smith, L. Henderson, Hoskins, Ellington, of whom only Smith and Graham appear to be in any favour. (Although I think Hoskins would be a good signing for us, nippy striker to play alongside Lambert)

He looked lively tonight before and after he came on,I also noticed he was in good spirits,messing about and having a laugh at half time and also whilst warming up.....so he could be happy to stay,wether or not he is wanted is another question.

He was v happy - was sat near the dug out and watched him mucking around and laughing during the first half.

 

Although you prob can't read much into that tbh.

 

I'd read more into the fact that he's now cup tied, could deter some clubs IMO.

Listening to Pardew interviewed on Solent after the game, I thought he sounded pretty keen to keep Rasiak.

Looked well up for it when came on, positive play and chasing back.

 

Smilimg and mucking around with Bart at half time.

 

Pardew saying on radio that hopefully he will realise the grass isn't always greener and will want to partner Lambert. Those two would score some goals.

definately sounded that he is trying to convince him to stay and not given up.

Perhaps the signing of lambert has changed his mind?....perhaps he realises we are going places and he wants to be a part of it.

TBH i cannot see him getting paid the same wage at Watford, so whatever happens he'll have to take a wage dip.

 

AFAIK he's very settled in new Milton and his family love it there (who wouldn't?) - so i reckon we have a chance.

 

He'd be great alongside lambert......jesus, it would even be prolific in the championship.

What it needs is for some friendly competition between the two, pardew could whisper to Raziak, Lambert will score more goals than you and if you think he won't than get out on the pitch and prove it! and vice versa

His performance tonight was competitive and wholehearted. He was even chasing one or two lost causes to close down angles for the opposition. Had he been on the pitch when Murty put over that devastating trademark cross from near the byeline, Rasiak would surely have scored as he did against Hearts

 

I agree with one or two others that he could forge a good understanding with a player like Lambert and they could both feed off each other on the way to 20 goals or more each. Perhaps Pardew has placed this idea into his head, that unless somebody comes in for him from a higher division, he could make the journey up a league with us, having lots of fun scoring goals in the process at this level. Maybe Kelvin has had a word with him about the quality of life and job satisfaction sometimes being worth more than just a bit more money.

Watford have had over 3 months to sign him since the end of last season......they have hardly been beating the door down have they ?

 

And just remember the 2 managers he played under at Watford are no longer at the club.

 

I hope AP persuades him to stay cos if he plays like he did tonight and against Hearts he and Lambert, with Patterson as back up, will be awesome :)

Personally I'd love to see Rasiak stay if he's commited. Lambert and Rasiak would form an awesome partnership upfront, the best we've had in a long, long time. Both would easily score 20+ goals each in this division. Here's hoping.
