West Ham have so much arrogance it annoys me. maybe not so much " annoyed ", but I sometimes wonder why it is that some clubs seem to think that if they just express an interest in a player, then that person would run barefoot over broken glass just to join "their club"... just to get a place on the bench. It's surely not just the money..(that many of them don't have in the first place) they must live on Planet Football where they win the "double " every season.

Who is the author? well if you look at the photos of the subscribers you kind of get the impression that it might be an African or Asian site so English may not be the writer's primary language.There were Lambert to West Ham stories doing the rounds during the transfer window, probably just a carry on of one of those. West Ham may have bid for Lambert in January, I don't doubt we turned down several bids for our players and had others turned down ourselves.

Secret Site Agent Posted 27 February, 2012 Share Posted 27 February, 2012 (edited) I have found the revised text: Championship title contenders West Ham United are keen on bolstering their attacking options at the end of the season with a move for Championship Leaders Southampton striker Rickie Lambert. The Saints front-man has been in exceptional form for the south-coast club with his 19 goals firing them to the top of the championship league. 30-year-old Lambert has managed to strike 70 goals in 120 league appearances since joining from Bristol Rovers in 2009. And his form has seen the Hammers take an in interest in the striker as they look to reaffirm their Premier League status. However, any move would depend on the fortunes of the Saints, whose meteoric rise have seen them with possible back-to-back promotions. Sam Allardyce’s side look set to secure promotion back to England’s top flight after a superb season following relegation from the Premiership, and hold a game in hand over leaders Southampton. However the rise in recent weeks of Birmingham and Reading, plus the challenge of Cardiff, who no longer have to concentrate on the Carling cup, after being beaten by Liverpool, could dampen their ardour. And the former Bolton Wanderers and Newcastle United manager is hoping to use Lambert as the spearhead in his attack should they achieve promotion this season, as he plans to bring the Hoof ball system of attack into the 20th Century. He hopes this sort of football will appeal to Lambert, after he has been hampered by the 21st century system of passing and moving shown by Southampton. Nigel Adkins, a staunch supporter of Lambert, commented:' The lad is great player, and ambassador for the club, he came on board the bus with both oars in the air, and when it came his time, he grasped the planet with both hands and fulfilled the greatest of ever need that a player can ever need in his life. Sam is abig fan, and we know that he knows at this level that it's not how full your glass is, but how many swallows you see during the summer months that allows for full entrance to the train, but this is the Saints express we are talking about, not a canoe. Hovercraft.' However, Sam may have problems with the Chairman of Southampton, Nicola Cortese. 'Who wanna buy Ricardo Lamberto? Sammo Alerdicia, I'll tell a you what? You wanna buy him, it a cost 35 million pound and we have Roberto Greeno, Caltonio Cole and Ricardo, what a loverly name, Ricardo Vaz te in exchange. His got a head full of bubbles if a he thinks we sell. Tell him to fargoff'. When told of the reply from Cortese, Allerdice threw himself to the floor and started waving an imaginary red card.

Golden Balls Posted 27 February, 2012 Share Posted 27 February, 2012 I would imagine if we stay down, Lambert would be likely to go. The only thing that would stop it is our asking price for someone who is over 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although if you wanted to start putting about on MHSC forums that we're going to take Giroud and Belhanda off of them when we get promoted to the PL at the end of the season I guess that would be OK.Lulu never refuses a deal when there's a couple of euros in it for him.

Some of the more perceptive posters will remember that during the last transfer window a Hammers fan posted on the KUMB site that they were after Lambert. A few dinlos on here took the bite and soon afterwards KUMB admitted it was a wind up. Clearly some out of touch overseas Hammers fan are recycling the story.
