Raging Bull Posted 7 October, 2011 Share Posted 7 October, 2011 Moeny very well spent, just having his name on the team sheet gives defenders a headache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and his celebration when he scored against them at SMS was to point at the name on his back. That'll learn them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEVEADAMS Posted 7 October, 2011 Share Posted 7 October, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 7 October, 2011 Share Posted 7 October, 2011 (edited) 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...

saints_is_the_south Posted 7 October, 2011 Share Posted 7 October, 2011 £1m for a goal scorer of his calibre in this day and age is great business. Would love to see him banging them in, in the prem this time next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanW Posted 7 October, 2011 Share Posted 7 October, 2011 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.

sammysaint Posted 9 October, 2011 Share Posted 9 October, 2011 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.

Cabrone Posted 9 October, 2011 Share Posted 9 October, 2011 For me, Rickie jostles with Case, Killer, Deano and Niemi as one of our best signings of the last 30 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan The Flames Posted 10 October, 2011 Share Posted 10 October, 2011 If you got 5 points for a Prem goal, 3 for Championship, 2 for League 1 and 1 for League 2. I would guess that Rickie would be top of a Points/£ table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mesaint Posted 10 October, 2011 Share Posted 10 October, 2011 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.
