trousers Posted 25 July, 2011 Share Posted 25 July, 2011 Why are all the drama queens still wetting themselves? One possible reason why a player would be remove from an kit ad is because he is leaving - that is a fact. It's probably not the case, but it is possible. Logic? On this forum? Nah...

CanadaSaint Posted 25 July, 2011 Share Posted 25 July, 2011 Why are all the drama queens still wetting themselves? One possible reason why a player would be remove from an kit ad is because he is leaving - that is a fact. It's probably not the case, but it is possible. Assuming that the OP's neighbour is telling the truth, a more likely reason IMO would be disciplinary. Keeping the assumption track going, I would assume that all the players have "image rights" clauses built into their contracts, so that an appearance in a club promotional picture could well trigger a payment. The 'news' could be a sign that RL is being penalized on that front for something or other. FWIW I feel that the OP was a legitimate post of interesting information. Whether there's any truth in it is for each of us to think about - or we could ignore the post, if that's our choice. Either way, this kind of thing is happening all the time at clubs all over the county without the 'news' ever leaking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 26 July, 2011 Author Share Posted 26 July, 2011 Knowing the9 he would not post something that he did not feel was total bull. I doubt he was lying, but there are any number of reasons for the club to have done what he said they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southamptonfclegend Posted 26 July, 2011 Share Posted 26 July, 2011 Football is a business, If someone offers you 6m then he's going whether he wants to stay or not. Perhaps they see this as a chance to bring in a more proven striker at a higher level like Carlton Cole? However this Lambert rumour I will give it 0.5% on happening because Rickie has never let us down and Adkins can see he offers us so much more than just his goalscoring. for one nobody would offer £6m for him, and how is he more proven at a higher level? when the highest level he has scored at is in League 1...

The9 Posted 26 July, 2011 Author Share Posted 26 July, 2011 I still think that Lambert leaving wouldn't be so great a loss as many seem to think. As someone who was pretty critical of him last season, I nevertheless see how integral he was to the team and pattern of play, and the bit of me which queries if he has the ability at this level is offset by the FA Cup goals he has scored against Championship and better opposition. I think if he left we'd have to sign someone strong in the air but a little more mobile on the ground, or we'd go backwards for a while - you can't expect the team to adjust to 2 smaller more mobile players given the amount of "pattern of play" routines they do, and the inability of some players to think for themselves.

darren2 Posted 26 July, 2011 Share Posted 26 July, 2011 So The9 stated a conversation that he had with his neighbour about Lambert being removed from the away kit lauch. At no point does he state that "Lambert is leaving". Them we get 4 pages of hysteria from people coming to their own conclusion that A: Lambert is leaving, or B: The9 has said Lambert is leaving???????? Is it not possible that it is as simple that Lambert etc are payed for "image rights" when used in publicity, he has been naughty and suspended for a friendly and removed from the posters and so losing his image rights. If I had had the conversation with The9's neighbour I would have posted it. It was others that came up with the "Lambert is leaving" hysteria. In regards to why he would sighn a new deal and say he wants to finish his career here, does anyone remember Hoddle saying "Have a nice holiday lads. See you when I get back", or bungknapp saying "I love Southampton", the "I love Portsmouth, this is actually the only club for me. I'll finish my career here".............
