Saint-Armstrong Posted 30 December, 2012 Share Posted 30 December, 2012 Ian 'Moose' Abrahams for talkSPORT: "I am hearing West Ham could be about to make a bid imminently for a Premier League striker - more as and when I get it" "The name of the player in question is Rickie Lambert - lets see what happens. Separately I've heard 2 Prem clubs interested in @Grantholt31" Obviously this is from the Moose, the man who seems to get an awful lot wrong - but he does have contacts at West Ham. Or thinks he does. Anyone remember the debacles where he was told he was making lies by the Palace owner/chairman, by West Brom's official Twitter and by a Tranmere player? Can't see it at all, although I can see West Ham trying it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedelldays Posted 30 December, 2012 Share Posted 30 December, 2012 maybe they will try..but if saints sell him this january, we can kiss goodbye to the premier league.. he is vital and such a massive player for us just cant see saints selling him what so ever this jan after the way he has played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they'd be interested....probably half the Prem. would - if he were to be going.......but he won't quick hint to Wham...don't waste the money on the phone call...especially if you are £100 mill. in debt.

supersonic Posted 30 December, 2012 Share Posted 30 December, 2012 Those criticising Mr Abrahams, if I'm not mistaken, he called the Carroll to West Ham transfer long before it happened, was a good week before the original deal (which then stalled) became public knowledge. He isn't all just hot air. It's been doing the rounds on the internet for the past few weeks now. I don't think Lambert will leave in January, but every player has their price, and if the right amount of money is offered, I'd sell anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersonic Posted 30 December, 2012 Share Posted 30 December, 2012 There's no price that makes sense for a 30 year old we can't replace. so if a club offered £15m-£20m for him you wouldn't accept it?? We could replace Lambert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corky morris Posted 30 December, 2012 Share Posted 30 December, 2012 Every Saints player has a price. If anyone bid 10m for Lambert I am pretty sure we would take it. Not saying that is what I would want to happen, but every price, including Messi, has a price. And i bet Stoke would take half that £10m for either Crouch or Jones. Again, not saying I want either, but we could get a short term replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dig Dig Posted 30 December, 2012 Share Posted 30 December, 2012 so if a club offered £15m-£20m for him you wouldn't accept it?? We could replace Lambert Don't think you've understood....

RobM Posted 30 December, 2012 Share Posted 30 December, 2012 We really are in a terribly bad place if we cannot possibly survive without Lambert. No team should be so reliant on one player, as just one injury could destroy the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobM Posted 30 December, 2012 Share Posted 30 December, 2012 They aren't reliant, but all clubs have best players don't they. Rodriguez could do a good job, but clearly saints have more chance of staying up with Lambert here and playing. Then I don't understand the comments about certain relegation without Lambert. He is one of our best players for sure, which means we should not sell him, but that doesn't mean we would be relegated without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinjb Posted 30 December, 2012 Share Posted 30 December, 2012 It's the Moose. He is the most partisan and unprofessional journalist this side of Neil Allen.

Crazy Diamond Posted 30 December, 2012 Share Posted 30 December, 2012 They can bid for him all they want. That's fine. They can't have him though. With regards to Moose, he's a massive c*nt.

Again, not saying I want either, but we could get a short term replacement. I don't agree....What price is Messi worth to Barcelona? The income generated by him alone makes it a very big price...However to sell the best player in the world means they would be admitting the club that bought him are bigger and better than Barcelona, therefore at the moment there is no price worth selling at for Barcelona. In effect he hasn't got a price. As for us the £10m for example is only a good price if we have a better chance of staying up without him than with him, otherwise in the long run it could cost us a lot more than that. EG Ramirez, J Rod, Clynne, Morgan, Cork who would get offers the minute we went down and we would struggle to hold on to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted 2 January, 2013 Share Posted 2 January, 2013 What do these people have for mindset?.- Sell Lambert...or Shaw? Mirror /Sun " hacks" who think we will bow down in obedience to the "so-called big clubs" (already steeped in big debts), who think they can do a deal by waving a million or two in our direction. I suppose It's understandable if it's some amateur journo, but if that's really Big Sam's thinking, then he's more daft than I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectisSaint Posted 2 January, 2013 Share Posted 2 January, 2013 Seems incredible to me, last season Wet Sham were colleting strikers like they were Panini stickers. Where have they all gone?

I think the only club that would A. at a stetch realistically bid for him and B. he would go to is Liverpool. None of Arsenal, Man Utd, Chelsea, Everton, Spurs etc would bid, the rest of the prem is a much of a muchness I think to Lambert. Also his age would prevent us getting anything close to what he is worth to us. No way this will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cricketphilly Posted 2 January, 2013 Share Posted 2 January, 2013 Lambert will not leave in the transfer window, but may do in the summer I think. Would put us in the world of do do.... The summer may well be the time to move on. He has served his purpose fantastically well, getting two promos and hopefully keeping us up. He may well want a last (and probably only) pay day and we will then invest in the future. I would imagine it would be him taking the pay rise rather than us shifting him though.

Saint Charlie Posted 2 January, 2013 Share Posted 2 January, 2013 Lambert has 18 months left on his contract. Will we offer him another in the summer? If not then I think we would sell him in the summer. Zero chance of selling him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
