JackFrost Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 what are the chances of us keeping Lambert in January? I wouldn't mind betting there are championship clubs interested not to mention a club in the vein of a Hull/Burnley
Saint In Exile Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 Isn't there some rule about not being able to play for 3 different clubs in the same association in the same season?
Iowsaintsfan Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 he was scoring just as many for Rovers in previous years and stayed i see no reason why he would atm
View From The Top Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 We no longer have to sell and in Jan' we won't. For once, we are a buying club!
Saint_John Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 As mentioned above the FA have a 3 club rule (see Article 5) :-http://www.thefa.com/TheFA/RulesandR..._pg435-450.pdf "Players may be registered with a maximum of 3 clubs during one season. During this period, the player is only eligible to play official matches for two clubs..."
Nadia Sllim Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 I thought about this and could see someone like Boro or Newcastle coming in for him. He is a scouser so a move North could suit him? Also he is the wrong end of the twenties and could take a big pay day? Lambert really excites me and the way again we have a figurehead and a crowd hero it would be a ****ing disaster if he moved.

HE CANT PLAY FOR ANOTHER CLUB THIS SEASON. Where is the confusion here?
anothersaintinsouthsea Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 can he play for more than two clubs in a season? If someone knows and can clarify that would be great. Thanks.
brianoneils slidingtackle Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 I have doubts wether he can play for more than two teams in a season :-) but clarification would be nice. :-)
Joensuu Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 Lallana is much more likely to attract interest IMO
Nadia Sllim Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 HE CANT PLAY FOR ANOTHER CLUB THIS SEASON. Where is the confusion here? I was not aware of this could you sign for a club and be loaned back till the end of that season if it was going to be your third club?
John D Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 As mentioned above the FA have a 3 club rule (see Article 5) :-http://www.thefa.com/TheFA/RulesandR..._pg435-450.pdf "Players may be registered with a maximum of 3 clubs during one season.

Son of Bob Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 Rule or no rule he wouldn't leave. He's probably going to be in the Championship with us next season anyway! If we don't make it this year I suspect you may see him leave in the summer though...
Mustapha Fag Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 havnt we just doubled his wages, paid him a big signing on fee plus he would get a part of the transfer fee as he never asked to be transfer listed? Hes in a team playing well and hes scoring a shed load of goals seems a lot of christmas paranoia creeping in, anyway i heard a rumour that you cant play for three teams in a year or something
Gemmel Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 There is a rule that you cvan only play for two but you can appeal (Paul Jones did and won) However, he won't be going in January. If he gets his 30 goals again (which would be two seasons running) then of course clubs will come sniffing. Very few players hit that sort of volume consistantly. But it's not just Lambert, you've got Lallana, Morgan, Harding, Hammond who will all attract interest and then Waigo and Antonio on loans. If we dont make the playoffs this season, it will be as much about keeping the squad together as it is bringing in new faces.
once_bitterne Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 Everton are apparently interested in him.
Down and Out Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 QPR....do us a favour!! No one will be going anywhere
Rocker268 Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 I don't think any of our first team will leave in Jan. We have the money to pay them as well as anyone else, they are in arguably one of the best team's in this league and if they stay they could be going into the Championship on their own efforts next season and beyond if they continue to play well. I can't see anyone moving to Newcastle or someone else in the Championship to potentially be a bench warmer when they have the structure that is currently in place.
S-Clarke Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 Stop worrying about losing players/management. They will not get the same support, financial backing at any other club in the FL. Pards' needs to rebuild his rep. and this is the best place for him to do that, i think he knows it too. How good is it for a manager to be able to rebuild a club from the roots and see the success from it? there isn't another FL club that could offer the same chacne.
Stepgar Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 I would be really surprised if anyone of note left. As others have already said we are not on a position of having to sell simples. However I am sure that if a bid came in ir would hav to be ridiculous fo us to accept. Remember we don't have to sell to balance books. I am sure that funds will be made available to purchase more players to compliment the best ones we have. We have a real chance of going somewhere within the next few years. Who would not want to be a part of that?
View From The Top Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 Everton are apparently interested in him. Not quite true, they've been quoted as saying they are keeping tabs on him.
John B Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 I thought about this and could see someone like Boro or Newcastle coming in for him. He is a scouser so a move North could suit him? Also he is the wrong end of the twenties and could take a big pay day? Lambert really excites me and the way again we have a figurehead and a crowd hero it would be a ****ing disaster if he moved. He may well be a scouser but Newcastle is about 180 miles from Liverpool. But as he has played for us and Bristol Rovers I dont think he can play for another team this season
david in sweden Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 Isn't there some rule about not being able to play for 3 different clubs in the same association in the same season? YES there is - and a player cannot play for MORE THAN 2 clubs in the same season. EVEN...If they are going to move...and sign a pre-nup agreement, they still cannot play competitive games in that same season. The only likely moves are those who want to go..like Saga..no-one is going to move from a successful club,unless they are at odds with the manager, etc. Can't see any of our " sought-after " players going - no matter who wants them. Unfortunately, many fans have a mindset that we have to sell our best. MONEY ISN'T A PROBLEM.......I liked the sound of that, I'll say it again ... MONEY ISN'T A PROBLEM, anymore. ML could probably buy Man.U or Liverpool without breaking sweat, or worrying his bank manager, if he so desired. (Except that FIFA /UEFA rules say you can't own two clubs in the same country....or something similar.) I'm sure money will be forthcoming in January and expect to see 2-3 new faces, but not for million pound prices. That sort of funding is not needed at this level and will likely be available in the coming seasons when we move up to CCC ...and later on in The Premiership ....
kpturner Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 what are the chances of us keeping Lambert in January? I wouldn't mind betting there are championship clubs interested not to mention a club in the vein of a Hull/Burnley You soppy old sod!
Wiltshire Saint Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 So you CAN play for 3 clubs. He has only played for 2. So he could be off.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 He will 100 % be a Saints player in February. Of this there is no doubt. I doubt he will move next summer either. Why do people get so nervous about this?
nickfinks Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 i cant see him leaving, if we were still in the bottom 3 / 4 then maybe so, but we are not, things are on the up and I feel he will want to be a part of it.
Window Cleaner Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 what are the chances of us keeping Lambert in January? I wouldn't mind betting there are championship clubs interested not to mention a club in the vein of a Hull/Burnley 100% because he can't play for another club this season, unless he moved out of the FA's jurisdiction.
Whitey Grandad Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 100% because he can't play for another club this season, unless he moved out of the FA's jurisdiction. OMG Real Madrid it is then.
Mr Saints Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 After hearing him on 5 Live last night saying how settled he is and how he loves it here, I am confident he will be here until the end of next season at least.
Window Cleaner Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 OMG Real Madrid it is then. with Van Nistleroy and 30 million coming our way in exchange.
Gemmel Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 100% because he can't play for another club this season, unless he moved out of the FA's jurisdiction. Unless of course he asked for permission. But all meaningless as he won't be leaving in Janary
Harry Faz Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 We now have good players,playing well and they will attract interest /speculation from clubs above us. We may lose one or two of them as the attraction of a bigger stage could be too much to resist. However, unlike in the past, we now dont need to sell, and we are playing well and moving forward as a club. I dont think we will lose anyone in january (other than those whose loan expires, we dont want ec). If we dont get promoted we may lose some over the summer. So the solution is to get promoted!
Supersubpuckett Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 We're a quality club with great facilities Financially sound Great team morale Good support every week Winning lots and scoring plenty Very good chance we can make the play offs I'm not sure he could cut it in the Championship anyway otherwise he would have moved up long ago. I think the summer will be quite a telling time for players moving if we don't get promoted. Harding and Lallana would be top of a lot of clubs lists I would have thought.
Blandford saint Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 Championship clubs have had plenty of time to buy Lambert, if they were interested. Why didn't they buy him in the summer, after scoring over 30 goals last season? I just can't see him moving when things are going so well.
NickG Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 unless you are a top CCC side going for promotion there isn't a huge difference in status between league 1 and CCC. Not nearly same draw as prem sides attracting CCC players
Pancake Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 So he could be sold to Everton and loaned back for the rest of the season then?
Rory Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 So he could be sold to Everton and loaned back for the rest of the season then? Would be pretty pointless considering his age.
Blandford saint Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 How many League One strikers aged 27 have signed for Premier League clubs? And played regularly? He's great for us at this level, but is he better than Saha, Yakubu, etc.? I think you will find that he would be well off the pace at that level.
madsent Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 Championship clubs have had plenty of time to buy Lambert, if they were interested. Why didn't they buy him in the summer, after scoring over 30 goals last season? I just can't see him moving when things are going so well. He didn't score over 30 goals. He got 29 league goals and no cup goals.
tonibell Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 Everton are apparently interested in him. Somebody told me that at work 2/3 weeks ago. Hope not
oggiee Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 Even without the rule that you cant play for 3 clubs in a season, there would be no way at all rickie would want to go, or that we would even consider selling him, no way.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 Everton are apparently interested in him. Everton can **** off.
Hopkins Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 44 posts on something that was pointed out in the 2nd post can't actually happen. This board is slightly retarded. As is anyone who actually thinks Everton are interested in him.
Thedelldays Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 players that jump from league 1 straight to the prem tend not to score many
Gemmel Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 44 posts on something that was pointed out in the 2nd post can't actually happen.QUOTE] He aint going anywhere in January 2nd post wasnt quite accurate - Our very own Paul Jones was given dispensation to play for his third club in a single season. There is a rule but you can appeal against it.
Thedelldays Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 why on earth would everton buy him...ffs
Hopkins Posted 15 December, 2009 Posted 15 December, 2009 44 posts on something that was pointed out in the 2nd post can't actually happen.QUOTE] He aint going anywhere in January 2nd post wasnt quite accurate - Our very own Paul Jones was given dispensation to play for his third club in a single season. There is a rule but you can appeal against it. 2nd post was accurate. It said there was a rule which stops people from playing for more than two clubs in a season. There is. The post was accurate. I don't know the ins and outs of the Paul Jones case but I suspect the arguement he had stood up a bit more than what Lamberts would be that "I want to play for a bigger club please." Everton would not have even discussed Lamberts name, let alone be interested in signing him. No Championship club will be making bids just yet because they can't sign him in January. You can appeal, but as I said i'm pretty sure the arguement you'd have would have to be better than just wanting to go up a league. Which is probably what the rule was bought in for in the first place, to stop players leaving for bigger clubs after only playing for a team for a few months.
