Smirking_Saint Posted 18 July, 2011 Share Posted 18 July, 2011 That we'd got an awful lot of penalties???? At the expense of repeating myself ad infinitum Lambert is not a hot shot striker,or at least he wasn't last season, he scored 21 goals of which 8 were penalties.He may do sterling work in the build up phase and slot away spot kicks very prettily but compared to Murray and CMS he wasn't a great goalscorer last season. Barnard was our best open play goalscorer. This Unfortunately seeing as you have now had the nerve to critisize our cult hero you will now be dumped on the 'hasn't got a clue' pile. I would love Ricky to emulate the form he had with us in his first season, I am willing to qive him a chance, I just can't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think TBF that for some reason, there was something during the close season that affected RL. He was quite ovbiously not the player that he was the previous season for the first third of last. He certainly started to play like his old self later in the season. Who knows? If he can have a good pre-season and get off to a flying start, he may well have a cracking season.

AussieDog Posted 18 July, 2011 Share Posted 18 July, 2011 I'd much rather we could play 3 or 4 players who can get BETWEEN 10-20 goals each - and I believe we have at least 6 players capable of doing this in The Championship (Oxo, Lallana, Connolly, Lambert, Barnard, Guly. Pick any 3 of those, and add one more. I don't like the idea of having all our eggs in 1 basket and relying on 1 new superstar player who might get 30 goals....what happens if they get injured (or more likely the opposition double tag him) and the goals dry up?? Other players are going to weigh in with odd goals and that equates to between 70 and 80 goals in a season. Keep the defence tight and that's a top 6 performance. Just a thought.....standing back and awaiting the flaming now for daring to be different... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraken Posted 18 July, 2011 Share Posted 18 July, 2011 I think TBF that for some reason, there was something during the close season that affected RL. He was quite ovbiously not the player that he was the previous season for the first third of last. He certainly started to play like his old self later in the season. Who knows? If he can have a good pre-season and get off to a flying start, he may well have a cracking season. That is true. In his first season with us he was so sharp; and he won pretty much everything that was played up to him. At the time I remember saying that he was the closest thing to an on-form Beattie than we'd had since. Which was why it was a bit mystifying to see that last season he so often looked off the pace, and was nowhere near as dominant (or determined) in the air. Perhaps a proper pre-season can do the trick, I certainly hope so because when he's really on his game he's almost unplayable. But the thing with Lambert is that he provides so much more than just goals. In a way he determines the way we play, in that he acts as the fulcrum of the team. Take him out and as team we would have to adapt massively to his absence; and I believe that overall we would lose a lot more than just the goals he scores. His season won't purely be determined by his goal tally, it's a bit more difficult to measure his overall impact than that. But, especially at this level, it's absolutely vital that we see the Ricky from his first season, and not last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sorry i love adkins and the boys but unless we seriously pull our finger out on the transfer front, this season is going to be a big dissapointment... But clubs like Blackpool and West ham, and also to a certain extent Brighton - are replacing key players that they have lost. Vaughan, Adam, DJ Campbell (move imminent). Brighton are having to replace Bennett and Murray for e.g. We haven't lost anyone, but we have added one of the most sought after players this summer. Lallana, Chambo, Lambo, Fonte, Cork, would walk into 90% of teams at this level. What a fantastic spine that is by the way, add the likes of Morgan, Guly, Barnard, Harding, Richardson in and around it and we'll be fine. People moaning about our lack of signings is really starting to bug me. Trust the quality we already have, because we have some fantastic players in our team, keyword being ''team''. Teams like the Skates, Forest, Watford have reasons to moan because they can't fill a full subs bench. We really don't know how lucky we have it this summer.

MerceSaint28 Posted 18 July, 2011 Share Posted 18 July, 2011 Sorry Clarke i agree that we have a good squad and are a "team"...that does not mean that we can afford to rest on our laurels and make no improvements... We are playing in the league above with significantly better teams to what we are used to. If we were in League 1 i would argue that we wouldn't need any signings but we are trying to get to the Premiership now. If you are so deluded you think that a strong League 1 squad is good enough to canter into the play offs...you are wrong. For me it is all about expectations...we have been told that we want to be a promotion contender...well that is currently not reflected in the transfer activity we are seeing as we are painfully inactive. I am not asking for an overhaul...just 3-4 players who can come in and improve the team. I think you will find that the best teams in the world improve their squads each year...you can't afford to stand still in football. Lets look at it....Puncheon will go for around a million, as will fish mills and Gobern has gone...we signed Cork for around a million but we will get that back from the Puncheon deal. I am only frustrated because yes we are a good squad but even the most optimistic fan knows that the current squad is mid-table at best...however 2-3 more key signings and i think we would be a strong contender...i can't beleive some fans are happy to walk into a division with teams like Leicester, West Ham and Birmingham with a league 1 squad...madness "we don't know how lucky we have it"...you say....well i say yet another Saints fan happy with mediocrity....yes we have had a terrible last 6 years that doesn't mean we can't expect better in the future. The club are lucky that they will have around 26,000 capacity to watch their team every week, which shows how big the support base is and just think...excite the fans for once with a big signing and expect to sell more season tickets....simple economics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it may come down to a loan deal just to get him away from the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MerceSaint28 Posted 18 July, 2011 Share Posted 18 July, 2011 Clarke we do in essence have a Championship club i agree...Lallana, Fonte, Chamberlain, Lambert and maybe Scheniderlain would walk into any team in the Champ, that much is obvious. However we all know it is best squad depth...and overall quality. An outsider would argue that Chaplow was Preston reserve and they got relegated...doubts still surround our captain (who i think should be replaced by Fonte btw) Centre half is still a problem as i have no desire to see Seabourne get dry humped by a player like CMS next season...etc..i still agree that we pretty much have a Champ squad and Cork was a very solid addition. My worry is that we are a little over 2 weeks to the start of the season and we are probably at least 2 new signings light...fine if they are in the pipeline then great...will be lovely to have them by saturday. I will however be mortified if we sign someone akin to Mellor...i really hope this is a massive understanding because expecting us to pay £500 plus to watch a team with someone like Mellor in the side is a disgrace. He is a failed League 1 player, over-weight and not in line with where the club is going surely? Im not saying we should sign Maynard because frankly i think the money being talked about for the kid is crazy...i would like to see this scouting network we have come up with something though...it would confuse me massively if having been prepared to spend £3 mill on Sharp we go for a cheap option... Anyway let's see what this week brings...if we have a quality centre half for Fonte and a pacey forward with an eye for goal by the end of the week im sure i will be feeling far more optimistic about our chances of success this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway back to Damour, he's been touted about in Germany a bit according to my informant in Strasbourg, Moenchengladbach and Hoffenheim apparently, don't know how that went for him though. Can't see why we'd need another milieu relayeur though anyway,we're already over flush with them and 2 out of 4 already won't be happy with the bench time they'll be putting in. Damour would want to play and he's not going to get any game time at Saints straight away, not coming out of a diabolical standard like National.

yorkie Posted 18 July, 2011 Share Posted 18 July, 2011 He certainly fits the Adkins mould of being young with potential plus experienced at this level. If a deal is being done could be player and cash involved - plus is he out of contract or refusing to sign an extended deal? I'm sure there are plenty of people speculating and the vultures circling - personally I'd rather have a British team with a smattering of johnny foreigner than a team full of johnny foreigners and a smattering of British lads. Language barriers aside I think British lads aren't just coming for the money or the next move - they will see Saints as a club going places (like Cork) and want to get on the bus. Compared to PNE - Saints would be a massive move for the lad. Here's hoping... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
