Rickie Lambert? Money Well Spent.

Has been a great signing for all involved and obviously benefitted from our team behind the scenes. What's more he looks totally at home, enjoying football and life at Southampton and seems like a thoroughly decent down to earth guy which endears him to the fans as well. Well done Rickie and Saints and long may it continue.

6 foot 1?

 

He's actually about 6' 2" Rickie, Rickie...

 

...There's no apostrophe in "gets", he's not that tall so er, cool your jets,

Rickie Lambert, still a bit slow, for me...

 

:o

Thanks for that - it was a good read and educational too.

 

How much would Southampton fans require to sell him off? I'm not going to do the dumb and blind "he's priceless!" because that's not true. You'd sell him for 50 million for sure, which means he's not priceless. So if Alex Ox-Chamberlain is worth 12 million, I'd say that to the Saints right now... Rickie is probably worth about the same. Maybe 10 million. Anything higher and we should definitely take it.

Im a thinking with Lambert you know every pen is gonna be a goal and even if he doest score, he would of been involved in the the build up for a goal, and doing it in the championship this season is going to spark a few prem teams like NUFC to bid 4/5 mill for him and offer him prem and maybe uefa cup football, i think he would stay as we look good to make at least the playoffs.

He might have missed out on the player of the month award, but I and fans of Rochdale and Bristol Rovers pay tribute to the prolific striker here:- http://wp.me/p1mFFL-bA

 

That was a good read, cheers for posting that.

 

Remember the Huddersfield chairman saying he wasn't value for money? LOL.

 

I do indeed! - I also remember a snippet from Pards at the time that Rickie wasn't the initial striker he targeted.

Reading through it again, i'd suggest you overuse the comma a little. But it's always an enjoyable read.

 

As it's pedantry corner time, I'd suggest you overuse 'i' instead of 'I.'

If OC is worth £12mil, then right now Rickie is worth £15mil. OC might make it but it was imho a gamble to pay that much for a boy who hadn't played outside of league 1. I know Rickie hadn't either until this season but he's been the league 1 top scorer for the past two seasons. Anyhow, we don't want to sell him so pardue can feck off.

Fine logic, the near 30 year old with no top level experience in 10 years of football and no resale value is clearly worth more than one of the country's brightest young stars who has already scored in the Champions League in one of his few appearances at that level and has a ton of untapped potential. :facepalm:
