Saint Garrett Posted 21 March, 2013 Author Posted 21 March, 2013 Don't you just love autocorrect sometimes!!!
Window Cleaner Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 See he's got the watch then. Have we only got the 1 pen then, always the same. There will be a clique mentality at the club soon, those with "the watch" and those without.
Colinjb Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 Excellent news. Just Boruc to go.. This. Very much this.
Turkish Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 He loves an All Saints top. Now he's on a bit more cash maybe he can afford to buy some decent gear.
paulwantsapint Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 Result Congratulations Rickie another 3 years of being saints no7
david in sweden Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 Good news and a real boost for another "oldie " in the squad. Not too many Prem.sides would give a striker of his ilk another 3 years, but it's good for club morale, too. I don't expect him to be playing 40+ games / season in 2016, but like KD...his presence around SMS is a psychological boost for everyone.
Bearsy Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 (edited) He loves an All Saints top. Now he's on a bit more cash maybe he can afford to buy some decent gear. my uncle is all saints bigwig. It used to get me some cache when they was bit more exclusive spitalfields rather than every other department store. In other news, trend followers, next seasons all shirts t's are returning to a more crew neck because certain nephews of certain all saints bigwigs raised v.strong objections to recent trend for mega scoped lady style collar details Edit: I mean yeah good news bout rickie!

shirleysfc Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 Excellent news. Just Boruc to go.. And Luke Shaw?
patred44 Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 See he's got the watch then. Have we only got the 1 pen then, always the same. There will be a clique mentality at the club soon, those with "the watch" and those without. one and one teaspoon apparentley
LVSaint Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 This thread has the best title, so I'll post here. Get in.

There will be a clique mentality at the club soon, those with "the watch" and those without. I've come to the conclusion that we only dish out new contracts just to advertise these bl**dy watches !
sambosa75 Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 Good news and a real boost for another "oldie " in the squad.

I don't expect him to be playing 40+ games / season in 2016, but like KD...his presence around SMS is a psychological boost for everyone. Don't really get this logic. His fitness record is excellent. He's rarely injured and his game isn't based around pace. If anything, he'll continue to improve and be an even better player in 2-3 years time. Great news. Congrats Rickie. Thoroughly deserved.
Saint Garrett Posted 21 March, 2013 Author Posted 21 March, 2013 http://www.westham.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=313540 Plan B Anyone? Previously, the media have been quite insistent that Sam Allardyce fancies signing Rickie Lambert in the summer. With Andy Carroll set to return to Liverpool, Marouane Chamakh likely to return to Arsenal and Carlton Cole out of contract, Lambert, the highest scoring English born player in the Premier League, seemed a good acquisition for Big Sam. But that idea may just have been blown out of the water with it being reported that Lambert, today, signed a two year contract extension and at the same time remarked, 'To be spending the next three years at Southampton is something I'm absolutely delighted about.' Right, where`s that Plan B?
BigShadow Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 A bit surprised by this - but happy for SRL. Look forward to his 100th PL goal in a Saints shirt. MP will be in trouble for not displaying his watch in the picture.
Saint Charlie Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 One of the most deserved contracts ever. Big Saints legend.
chivvy1664 Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 He has quality first touch, heading,deadball striking,live ball striking,aerial abilty and distrubution. He will always be a handful.He has done more for the club than anyone post league 1 days. even if in the final year of contract he is playing a cameo role he will still be useful.He deserves this more than anyone. Rickie Lambert is a Saints Legend. FACT
beatlesaint Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 This is the best news possible. Well chuffed with this
farawaysaint Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 I wonder how much we're paying a 15+ goal a season striker in the prem. Well chuffed, Rickie Lambert Saints legend is set to be at Saints for the rest of his career and we couldn't ask for a better player to do it.
forever a red and white Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 Fantastic. Wanted him to stay for longer for sure and he has been nothing short of superb since he joined. Countless vital goals, leadership and grown in confidence and ability. Love the fact we're keeping him proper legend! Let's hope he can stay as fit as he has been!
Saint Garrett Posted 21 March, 2013 Author Posted 21 March, 2013 I wonder how much we're paying a 15+ goal a season striker in the prem. Well chuffed, Rickie Lambert Saints legend is set to be at Saints for the rest of his career and we couldn't ask for a better player to do it. Would guess about 40k a week.
Calvin Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 Great news for the club in general. Its what we need for a further boost for the squad, due to the progression that he has made at Premiership level, despite his age.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 Great news!!!!!! Glad they gave him a 3 year deal as well, it's one of those things where his skills will not diminish and he never had any pace so it is a low risk extension. GET THE FLIP IN!

Well chuffed, Rickie Lambert Saints legend is set to be at Saints for the rest of his career and we couldn't ask for a better player to do it. Heard a few months ago that he was looking for parity with Ramirez, who is obviously the highest wage at the club.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 Heard a few months ago that he was looking for parity with Ramirez, who is obviously the highest wage at the club. And rightly so imo.
Miltonroader07 Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 Excellent news. Just Boruc to go.. Boruc and Puncheon I think !!!
Nexstar Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 Boruc and Puncheon I think !!! Puncheon signed a new deal a few weeks back
Miltonroader07 Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 Heard a few months ago that he was looking for parity with Ramirez, who is obviously the highest wage at the club. Where did you hear that little nugget then.... http://www.the bleeding obvious.com
hypochondriac Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 Boruc and Puncheon I think !!! You think wrongly.

Matthew Le God Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 (edited) Excellent news. Just Boruc to go.. This. Very much this. Just Boruc to go, surely Jack Cork signed for us in July 2011 on a 4 year deal until June 2015, but that was as a Championship club. Perhaps he'll sign a new deal soon or maybe wait until next summer? Might depend on clauses in his current deal. Edited 21 March, 2013 by Matthew Le God
SuperSAINT Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 Nobody sweating on Forecast leaving on a free?
saint si Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 Great news!!!!!! Glad they gave him a 3 year deal as well, it's one of those things where his skills will not diminish and he never had any pace so it is a low risk extension. GET THE FLIP IN! Good point! He's been oft likened to Sheringham (though i think Lambert is stronger) and he kept going at the highest level until late 30s / early 40s? Great news.
farawaysaint Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 And rightly so imo. Someone told me a crazy rumour Gaston was on 60k or so... Not sure how many players I want on that salary Was always going to be a danger when we signed a marquee player on two to three times what everyone else was earning.
