niceandfriendly Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 In the summer According to the Mirror good luck to them. can't see us selling lambert unless of course we sign falcao and rvp
trousers Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 I'm going to put in a cheeky bid for Microsoft.
Thedelldays Posted 15 February, 2013 Author Posted 15 February, 2013 Surely it would be a great fit Thy like to sign players with no eye on the future and no re sale value?? On another note. If we stay up and sell him. That would be utterly insane
Saint Charlie Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 Equally would be suprised if he wanted to go there. They are a mess. He often says how exciting a place Saints will be in the next few years. However, in the summer he will either sign a new deal or be sold.

niceandfriendly Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 is his contract up at the end of this year?
CB Fry Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 The Mirror make up unsubstantiated lies. Like Adkins being sacked and replaced with some foreigner.
Wes Tender Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 They will survive this season, because they are as unlikely as United to go down. But they need to sign somebody of Lambert's calibre to ensure their survival next year.
shurlock Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 The Mirror make up unsubstantiated lies. Like Adkins being sacked and replaced with some foreigner. Who's claiming it's a lie? The Mirror have simply said wham are interested, nothing more and posters have responded by questioning why we would want to sell RL or why he would want to leave.
Roger Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 I doubt he will go now as the new manager clearly thinks he's the business.
CB Fry Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 Who's claiming it's a lie? The Mirror have simply said wham are interested, nothing more and posters have responded by questioning why we would want to sell RL or why he would want to leave. I am. Its the Mirror and they, like, always lie.
dronskisaint Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 It's an easy, annual recycled headline......copy and paste and you've filled some column inches. Anyway...he can do steps down at the end of his career not now at the peak!
Saint Charlie Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 Why will he sign or be sold. Why won't he just stay? He will want security of knowing his future. Plus we could probably get 4m in the summer. That would reduce to next to nothing the following Jan and then zilch the next summer ie the Van Persie scenario. Hopefully we give him another 3 year contract taking him to 34 - he deserves it more than anyone.
Saint Charlie Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 I am. Its the Mirror and they, like, always lie. This is true. Shaw has signed for Arsenal 38 times now. Story probably given by RL agent looking to put pressure on Saints to agree a new deal with him.
Greenridge Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 I am. Its the Mirror and they, like, always lie. Fascinating. West Ham don't even appear to be sure they're keeping their manager let alone which players they may or may not acquire in the summer.
Thedelldays Posted 15 February, 2013 Author Posted 15 February, 2013 Fascinating. West Ham don't even appear to be sure they're keeping their manager let alone which players they may or may not acquire in the summer. Well. We have players out of contract in the summer too who are important to us Plus Morgan has only just a years left I suspect, like us... They are waiting till they are mathematically safe
Bucks Saint Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 Mirror writers short of some stories. Zzzz
Thedelldays Posted 15 February, 2013 Author Posted 15 February, 2013 Mirror writers short of some stories. Zzzz Like when they said Adkins would be sacked and that was dismissed out of hand......
OldNick Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 the media always like to rock the boat. No doubt their freinds Fat Sam and Pardew are happy to unsettle our club.
Toomer Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 Lambert has said that he wants to see out his playing days at St Marys, but as we know if the Don along with MP thinks it is time for him to move on and get someone else in for the good of the club, he will be gone.
pingwing Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 They can bid, doubt anything will come of it. Thought they had blown their wad over Jarvis anyway killing the whole buying people front for a while...
JackanorySFC Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 the media always like to rock the boat. No doubt their freinds Fat Sam and Pardew are happy to unsettle our club. At a national level Pardew rarely gives any tips, off record quotes etc whilst employed. I say rarely - to my knowledge never - but he may have done in a previous life. Sam usually talks on the record so this almost definitely wouldn't have come from him, however the owners and their Cheif Exec on the other hand......
Turkish Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 Lying media Journo scumbags at it again FFS.
FloatingbridgeSaint Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 I think it is likely that we will be the subject of many summer outgoing transfer rumours with the way the team is playing at the moment. I'm sure the media will hype up Lambert potential bids to the hilt along with just about every other performing player. I think we need to nail our intent to the mast early & publicly announce that key players are not for sale plus make a big 1 or 2 signings early on. By doing this is will signal that we are not willing to settle for survival or mid table next season.
Greenridge Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 Lying media Journo scumbags at it again FFS. You're a bit late Richie, one of your gang has already inanely bored the thread several times with that line already.

a1ex2001 Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 I could see it happening this summer, not that I'd be pleased by it! Rickie is comming to the end of his career whether we like it or not and this summer might be the last chance for the club to cash in on him, if West Ham could be persuaded to part with 5m or so and we have a quality replacment or two lined up it would be tempting financially to do the deal. Might also be a temptation for Rickie one last pa day oppertunity he's never had a big transfer to collect a nice signing on fee and some silly wages and this could be his last chance. Would much rather he stayed here until he retires mind!
DT Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/west-ham-plan-summer-move-1710230 They can jog on
Brussels Saint Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 If West Ham bid say 10m in the summer for RL, I reckon the Don may be tempted. He's 31 and as such will likely start to wane in terms of influence maybe not next year, but possibly soon after. A 9m profit for a player having a limited impact on the future project....... Of course I'm a fan and would never sell him due to what he has achieved for us over the last years and could do over the next couple. But honestly, I know feck all really about running a football club and am quite happy I'm not in charge.
LostBoys Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 Another Mirror transfer rumour presumably because they are dropping like a stone show us the money
Dig Dig Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 Believe EVERYTHING you read in the papers people
niceandfriendly Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 Believe EVERYTHING you read in the papers people absolutely. the media NEVER lie dontcha know?
labibs Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 Don't doubt West Ham would be interested and could well make a bid, so it's a little harsh to have a go at the mirror for reporting such? [previous erroneous stories notwithstanding]. Guess once we are mathematically safe, we will sit down and try to negotiate new contracts. If Ricky asks for say £60k p/w on a 3 yr contract, then we will have a real decision to make. He's not going to be able to play a high tempo pressing game at 34 and if WHam are offering say £7m, you could make a case for the sale (provided a high quality, younger replacement is immediately brought in). Personally would pull all out the stops to keep him. More worried about tieing down Morgan to be honest. His contract is up at the end of next season and can see all the big clubs being after him. He will want (and be justified in asking for, IMO) a large basic wage and possibly a minimum fee release clause as well. The Don is going to have get his negotiating head on for that one.
speed demon Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 Surely it would be a great fit Thy like to sign players with no eye on the future and no re sale value?? On another note. If we stay up and sell him. That would be utterly insane You also said that if NC sacks Adkins now he's and idiot (or words to that effect) Nothing would surprise me now knowing what NC is capable of.
Ken Tone Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 I'm still hoping that West Ham will be the team that gets dragged down into relegation after a reasonably good start to the season. Seems to happen to one team most years,and they're not doing so well now. In which case they (and QPR of course) will be skint and in the championship agai , so definitely not bidding high for any of our players.
Wiggles31 Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 No chance. Rickie is priceless to this club and he would not want to go to a dinosaur club like West Ham anyway. Jog on Fat Sam you have not got a chance in hell.
scotty Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 I'm still hoping that West Ham will be the team that gets dragged down into relegation after a reasonably good start to the season. Seems to happen to one team most years,and they're not doing so well now . This. I dont really know why, but I would enjoy seeing them drop back down.
Pilchards Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 Lambert has said that he wants to see out his playing days at St Marys, but as we know if the Don along with MP thinks it is time for him to move on and get someone else in for the good of the club, he will be gone. Totally agree, it will be on our terms if he is sold. I would be upset if he did go but If they would bring in someone with real quality then I would be delighted.
Colinjb Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 10/10 for their tenacity. 0/10 for their chances. He is going nowhere.
This Charming Man Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 Why would he want to take a step backwards? We're the next Barcelona and Europe bound.
Andre Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 Shows how little he understands of player transfers, I couldn't see Rickie moving from us to them in a million years if we both stay up. I'd hate to be proven wrong, and tbh I'd be upset with him if he did go.
Nigel=God-Poyet=Sod Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 Rickie is an Andy Carroll type player because Rickie is an excellent footballer and not just a target man who they can lump the ball up to. He won't go, he's still our most vital attacking player and will continue to be IMO.

Andre Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 He's played in an almost midfielder/winger role in the last couple of games, and has still been invaluable and top class. Such a great all-round player and goalscorer.
Olallana Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 I dont think the story is a lie, it´s likely that any team in the league want great players. But we wont sell unless it´s a crazy sum offered and I think Rickie likes to play football instead of hoofball so he wont go to West Ham. Maybe just Allardyce trying to make a story to disturb our club in the relegation battle....
norwaysaint Posted 15 February, 2013 Posted 15 February, 2013 Crazy, either they'd have to put in a silly offer for a player of his age, who might take a while to settle in with their system or he's worth much more to us than we'd be able to sell him for.
