CB Fry Posted 31 December, 2013 Share Posted 31 December, 2013 He's worth more to us than anyone would be prepared to pay. Can't see him going just yet. Maybe in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rshephard3 Posted 31 December, 2013 Share Posted 31 December, 2013 Completely positive I'll get abuse for this - But for £8million I'd take it and reinvest in a younger model. Love Rickie to pieces and would love to see him retire here - but realisitcally he's taken a slight dip in form over the season and £8million isnt a bad shout. Just to clarify - SRL is a hero and I dont want to sell him - But £8 million isnt bad... Agree, £8m reinvested to pay a huge chunk towards someone like Begovic would be for the greater good. What was Allardyce expecting by by the way? £500k and a packet of crisps? Stupid, fat ignorant dislikable man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sour Mash Posted 31 December, 2013 Share Posted 31 December, 2013 If true, and we've set the price at £8m, that is very much telling West Ham just to f**k off, knowing they're not going to stretch to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasgow_Saint Posted 31 December, 2013 Share Posted 31 December, 2013 We dont play a style that suits Lambert nor do we play to his strenghs..... On that basis we should sell him, as his talents are wasted with us and he is getting increasingly frustrated with it all. Problem is mopo did have an oppurtunity to spend BIG & hand pick the replacement during the summer and he (Osvaldo) doesnt seem to fit the style either..........

Saint_Tony Posted 31 December, 2013 Share Posted 31 December, 2013 In all fairness I think he could score a few goals at West Ham. For me he's the biggest club legend we have had since MLT and I wouldn't begrudge him a move. However, I feel that if we give him a rest until the West Brom game, he will come back firing on all cylinders. It's stupid to suggest he's suddenly lost his quality in the last couple of months. He's still a top player and will have his sights set on Brazil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suomi Saint Posted 31 December, 2013 Share Posted 31 December, 2013 Selling SRL would be a very bad idea on so many levels.

In fact I'm sure one of the popular sundays ran a 4 or 5 week tutorial on Body Language a good few years back. It was a bloody nuisance, everybody watched everybody in pubs and workplaces and then came out with crap like "I can tell from your BL that you're tupping your PA on overseas trips".

SNSUN Posted 31 December, 2013 Share Posted 31 December, 2013 He's nearly 32. £8 million is an insane amount of money for him. If this is true, and the bid comes in, I can't see us not accepting. We all love Rickie, what he's done for us since he arrived beggars belief. He'll be known for years to come as a key player in our rise up the leagues. But £8 million is obscene for a player of his age whose best days are perhaps behind him. Maybe I'm tipsy and it's ruining my judgement but I'd have to take the money and reinvest it into another striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bewildered Posted 31 December, 2013 Share Posted 31 December, 2013 Would people complain if we sold him for that and got Danny Ings or Jordan Rhodes with the money? If we wanted to make way for Rhodes or another young Striker of RL's size, then we should go for it. Can't really say I've seen enough of Ings to cast judgement on him. Really it depends on whether there would be an intent to sign another Striker if Lambert is sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itchen_dan Posted 31 December, 2013 Share Posted 31 December, 2013 I'd snap off their arms for £8m! As others said, a 32 year old, who i have said for a while now is no longer suitable for our system, for £8m is insane. His general play has deteriorated so much in my opinion over the last 6-9 months. His goal ratio has dropped significantly. After a couple of brilliant England performances, where the national team setup suits him better than it does here - he has been nowhere near the player he was. Take the money and run NC!!

View From The Top Posted 31 December, 2013 Share Posted 31 December, 2013 His link up play is awesome and I'd hate to see him go. That said, come the summer I'd love to see him go and get a final big money move. For me he's been our greatest talisman since MLT and our best striker since Channon.
