Not sayign your wrong just interested to know why you think £6m is better to have than a potential goal scorer at this level! Dunno (not my job)-just think £6m for a striker of RL's age would be good value. We have been linked with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. From what I've seen of him at St. Etienne, he would be an excellent shout. Tall, quick and tricky and would give us something very different. But as I say it's not my job.

It was in reply to the following comment - ostensibly from a Burnley supporter. hu gvs a **** bwt ur suggestion nd wt du u knw bwt mckay nd wt he duz wi hm uv played 3 games in da league nd thnk u knw da lot il tel u 1 fing b*stard no1 wants 2 join u any1 wid da rite mynd has laffed at u Which in turn was in response to the original srvp28's mild-mannered suggestion to bring in Robert Earnshaw. This is just a suggestion but what about bringing in Robert Earnshaw on loan from Cardiff City? He doesn't seem to be part of Malky Mackay's plans and he's a proven Championship player.

david in sweden Posted 27 August, 2012 Share Posted 27 August, 2012 (edited) the first line of my contribution is : I don't think we should sell Ricky Lambert. However, it's plain our very long honeymoon with success has hit a snag. Our mode of play for the last 3 seasons has been tailored to Ricky's style and he's had a goal feast. No-one expects that it will go on forever, and despite Ricky's well-earned Prem. goal at Etihad, he'll find it much tougher to get the space and opportunities he's had in the recent past. NA talks about trying different formations, and we need to. Any normal Prem. player past 30, knows his shelf life can have next weeks date on it, and the joy of scoring in the Prem. must make way for the reality of ..what happens next? Either Ricky must learn to play another (less dependent role in the side) and allow the team to play another formation where he isn't the key player anymore. Sadly, in our present League position ...we don't have time to experiment. NA is fully aware that if we don't put some "real football" together and score some goals in the next two games we could still be sitting on 0 points.... after 4 games. Now is the time to see if Tadanari Lee, Jay Rod and Billy Sharp will become the " new-look " Saints. The next chapter in the fairy story is taking 3 points off Man.U next Sunday and Ricky picking up another goal or two. The reality may be more cruel and serious decisions will need to be made this week. (of course the whole idea maybe a ploy to help the Blackburn manager hold on to his job a little longer, as he seems unpopular with the owners and already has one foot out of the door. If he gets the boot, then Ricky... (if ever transferred)... will have to fit in with yet another managers survival planning). Nigel Adkins' methodology has worked so far, but if it fails... he maybe become another manager who begins to feel the draught !

ART Posted 27 August, 2012 Share Posted 27 August, 2012 If the club for any reason decide to sell our man Ricky, I for one will not be supporting Saints in future. Ricky's our good luck charm.

Norm Posted 27 August, 2012 Share Posted 27 August, 2012 Art! Come on, every player has a shelf life. If the club think it the best interest of the team, so be it.

Rebel Posted 27 August, 2012 Share Posted 27 August, 2012 Ricky's goals have goals have got us to the premiership - but he hasn't got the attributes needed to lead the line in a 4-3-3. On Saturday he lacked the pace and movement needed. Instead of playing on the shoulder of the defence he was dropping deep to pick up the ball. If we are going to keep playing this way we should take the £4 million on offer for him now. However he deserves his chance in the premier league but we need to play him in the hole or as a second striker in a 4-4-1-1, a 4-3-2-1 or a 4-2-3-1 formation where he can drop deep to pick up the ball at his feet or go wide and use his strength in the air to win the ball and then make the play. It will also give him ths chance to make the most of his shot with space in the edge if the area. Lambert has always played best when he's got someone like Barnard or Sharp in front of him to lead the line and create space behind them. I'd love to see a front line against Man Utd of the following: Rodriguez Lallana. Lambert. Ramirez This would give both Lallana and Lambert the bit more time and space they need. Lallana also likes to cut in from the left and Lambert likes to drop out wide to the left. Lallana and Ramirez can also swap wings and all three can drop back to give us 5 in midfield if needed. Lambert isn't going to be sn automatic starter this season or our main striker - both he and the team need to adapt or move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
