angelman Posted 7 January, 2014 Share Posted 7 January, 2014 That seems a fair enough contract for both sides (and presumes that it has some sort of agreement on injuries). The only problem that I can see it if we do a Wenger and not play him to save giving a new contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows if it's true but hey ho It's pretty clear the the Fail seems to be our favourite paper at the moment. There tends to be a positive story about us every day. Add this to the one about our complaint to the Referees' association and both articles have much more detail than any other reports that have been posted as links. Of course, because it's the Fail, most on here will ignore it or refuse to read it out of principle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stops the oiks at West Ham saying "Well, we offered to double his wages to 50k..." as everyone now knows he is on 40k. OR It's a reminder from NC to "want away" Lambert about how much he is valued at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jez Posted 7 January, 2014 Share Posted 7 January, 2014 Is it worth asking how on earth Dan Harding's father-in-law knows about it? It's certainly interesting that Moyes has said in plain terms that the player they want isn't available. He must have got a very firm no. And as tough as Cortese might be, I can't imagine he'd give up that quickly with Southampton or that Lallana or Shaw would be the one player he's after. Dan himself is apparently still very friendly with some of the players, Lallana included, so it seems it was info from Lallana told to Dan, then onto his father-in-law. Who wasn't a Saints fan, but just loves the club after Dan's experiences with us, and was waxing lyrical about how well run we are, what a tight group of players we have, generally how much he admired the club, and the way they are using the youths etc. Doesn't make the £85k offer to Lallana true, but he was certainly telling me what he believed to be true. Very nice guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speed demon Posted 7 January, 2014 Share Posted 7 January, 2014 If it's true, I think it's a fitting arrangement with a Saints legend.

brett24 Posted 7 January, 2014 Share Posted 7 January, 2014 West Ham are normally pretty vocal about there transfer targets but no mention about Lambert.

skintsaint Posted 8 January, 2014 Share Posted 8 January, 2014 West Ham haven't the cash for this. Its probably why they have brought in a Div3 player in on loan. Heard that they had to sell to buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintBobby Posted 8 January, 2014 Share Posted 8 January, 2014 Seems a slightly odd contract. I'd hate to get into a situation in a year or so's time where we don't play Lambert for his 19th league game because we don't want to trigger the contract extension. Still, I'd prefer him basically locked in, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonb Posted 8 January, 2014 Share Posted 8 January, 2014 Ian Abrahams has said many times it's not true. He's v close to west ham. It's not true at all. Lambert will stay. Is that the same Ian Abrahams aka "the moose" who is regularly lambasted and ridiculed by the very station that employ him?? And not just by the show hosts but also by guest contributors. It's one of the great mysteries to me how this muppet keeps his job. In fact I'm coming round to the idea that he was sacked years ago but his rich daddy convinced Talk Shiit to let him stay on as otherwise he'd be at home wannking himself to death over photos of Bobby Moore.

Very nice guy. So for all this to be "true": Saints players need to have informed Dan Harding reliably. Dan Harding needs to have informed his father-in-law reliably. You need to have actually met Dan Harding's father-in-law and not be telling a porkie-pie. Dan Harding's father-in-law needs to have then informed you reliably and then you need to have informed this message board reliably.

Turkish Posted 8 January, 2014 Share Posted 8 January, 2014 Relegation is never certain. Remember how bad Pompey were, think they lost 5-0 at a very poor birmingham side before signing about 10 players they couldn't afford and staying up. West Ham's fate depends on who they sign this window. A win changes everything, bit of confidence and a few of their players aren't that bad. Fulham can be utterly woeful too, but they've managed to scrape some wins amongst the dross. New manager would be difficult. There isn't time to change playing style, the players have been brought in for a certain style. Someone like Pulis would have suited them but their best chance of staying up is probably to stick with the fat idiot. If he can get Nolan and Carroll back in the team they'll have some chance. It's a huge weekend at the bottom. west Ham go to Cardiff and Fulham host Sunderland, if the home teams both win then West Ham are 6 points adrift, which even at this stage of the season is a mountain to climb.
