Saint Charlie Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 It's obviously just negotiation. No way Lambert will be passing up the chance to go there, he will hand in a transfer request if needed. It will happen if they want him, and they seem to.
Heisenberg Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 I notice that there is no @amylambert tag next to the name. Does that mean it's a fake? I certainly can't find that user on twitter. Its a fake facebook post
chi saint Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 I'm not sure what the issue is with the board, if you believe the reports, we seem to be turning down various offers. Surely that is what we wan't isn't it, a board room who aren't prepared to roll over. The latest report regarding declining LP's offer (if you believe the hype) shows the board ARE looking after the clubs interest. So all you moaners and groaners be grateful we have a top tier with some gonads. I'm sure that if a player wants to leave it will inevitably happen but it seems it will be despite the boards efforts not because of ....GET A GRIP
Chez Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 I love these threads, they really show the passion/mental nature of the fans on this forum.
doggface Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 If the board has any nous they would release a statement saying NO bids will be entertained until after the world cup. That way we can get a manager in to plan and try and convince the lads to stay. That way if they still leave, we will have tried our best to keep them and if the other clubs really want them then they can and would wait and possibly push up the price. Would also give us and the new manager a chance to target replacements. To potentially shop off all our hero's before the world cup and without a manager in place would be absolutely suicidal. At the moment it is like fly's around **** and ****ing embarressing.
Shroppie Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 I notice that there is no @amylambert tag next to the name. Does that mean it's a fake? I certainly can't find that user on twitter. I would guess it's fake. As I see it the only facts are probably: 1. Liverpool have made an offer. 2. It's been rejected.
Wade Garrett Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 It's obviously just negotiation. No way Lambert will be passing up the chance to go there, he will hand in a transfer request if needed. It will happen if they want him, and they seem to. Like Suarez and Arsenal last year.....
doddisalegend Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 If he does go this weekend then literally a couple of days after Ralph's statement he will have lied to the fanbase. That's pretty amateurish. Which Is why I think it won't happen. You'd have to be a complete moron to make a statement like that and then go back on it only days latter. I guess Lambert could be sold but I don't think it will happen unless sanctioned by the new manager. Then if it happens Ralph didn't lie.
DuncanRG Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 If the story had broken as 'Southampton reject Liverpool bid for Rickie Lambert' I don't think any of us would be half as worried

Saint Charlie Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Like Suarez and Arsenal last year..... Or Fellaini and United. Pretty obvious it will happen, BBC said there is a deal to be done if the offer is right and we won't stand in his way.
Saint Charlie Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 If the story had broken as 'Southampton reject Liverpool bid for Rickie Lambert' I don't think any of us would be half as worried Why? Because we know RL would be mad keen to go, and that they would just come back for him. You never accept the first offer, it's negotiation.
Saints foreva Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 I would guess it's fake. As I see it the only facts are probably: 1. Liverpool have made an offer. 2. It's been rejected. This one from his sister wasn't a fake. Someone retweeted it onto my timeline before she deleted the tweet.
RedArmy Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 We really do have a bunch of bi-polar idiots in our fan base. It was only a few months ago that Lambert was "past it" and now it's all pseudo rage and tears no we've had a bid for him. He'll be 33 next season, and while he proves his doubters wrong time and time again, he clearly struggled for fitness in the middle third of the season, and after a World Cup he will struggle even more next season. If we can hold out for the £8-10mil that sky are reporting that is a great bit of business.
Shroppie Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Or Fellaini and United. Pretty obvious it will happen, BBC said there is a deal to be done if the offer is right and we won't stand in his way. If the offer is right. Who knows what that would be?
doddisalegend Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Or Fellaini and United. Pretty obvious it will happen, BBC said there is a deal to be done if the offer is right and we won't stand in his way. What if Liverpool's offer won't meet our valuation?
S-Clarke Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27629474 It's as close to being done as it can be, without being announced.
Shroppie Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 This one from his sister wasn't a fake. Someone retweeted it onto my timeline before she deleted the tweet. So she's over the moon to hear a rumour Pool have made a bid for RIcky.
alpine_saint Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 What if Liverpool's offer won't meet our valuation? He doesnt go anywhere. But its guff, simply a negotiating position. I reckon he's good as gone.

Wade Garrett Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Or Fellaini and United. Pretty obvious it will happen, BBC said there is a deal to be done if the offer is right and we won't stand in his way. Big if though. What the club want and what Liverpool are willing to pay could be miles apart.

No movement until we get a new manager. If we appoint our new boss before any deal is concluded, then fair enough.
Saint Charlie Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 How do you know that? Because that's how it works. They are in advanced talks, so eventually will find an acceptable fee and Lambert moves. He will be so desperate to move he would probably pay a million himself. Of course nobody knows for sure, but this deal seems very close, just like the Pochettino one was.

Doesnt fit with our own boards comments, does it ?
Roger Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 It will. Charlie you're being over negative now. If they bid 9-10 million and we rejected it and then they bid 12 and he wants to go what can we do ?
Baird of the land Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27629474 It's as close to being done as it can be, without being announced. Bbc really has become the scum of the earth with no journalism standards. So we're selling 3 World Cup players to them for a packet of peanuts, how nice for them.

I'm not being negative. I'm just saying that he will go, eventually they will offer something that we accept.
warsash saint Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 'Guly Do Prado, he's the only one off to Brazil'
Chez Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 The screenshot (fake or otherwise) is from facebook not twitter Gotcha. In which case I have no reason to doubt its validity. Danielle Kelly certainly is a friend of Amy Lambert on Facebook. Whether he goes is a different story. I guess the right offer has to come. Shame that all three England players appear, if you believe the papers, to have all but agreed moves which no doubt will be announced after the World Cup. It's not going to be the same watching the games knowing for sure they are Saints players.
Block34 Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Lol Get over yourself. I got it from another forum. Another forum? So you just nicked it 'cos it would be a good laugh eh? Magic
Special K Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 This one from his sister wasn't a fake. Someone retweeted it onto my timeline before she deleted the tweet. Could be anything from buying a lucky scratch card to being asked out by Barry Sanchez.
SaintRobbie Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 The only reason Saints Board will say no to Liverpool is if they have suddenly realised that the fans will march on St Mary's on Saturday.
Block34 Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 If he does go this weekend then literally a couple of days after Ralph's statement he will have lied to the fanbase. That's pretty amateurish. ...and he had his medical when? ...and where?
eurosaint Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 (edited) Just watched SSN and they are still reporting between 8 and 10 mil so I don't know where this 4 mil has come from ! Still refuse to believe it though, as he is currently with the England squad and (for sure) it would send out the worst possible signal of a firesale should it actually transpire ! (Have just seen the BBC article but surely 4m is derisory, even if true!) Edited 29 May, 2014 by eurosaint
alpine_saint Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 I have this vision of "special excuses" being made for each player departure over the summer. No. They are Saints players. They are contracted to us. The board is employed to protect to the best of their ability the interests of SFC, not pander to childhood dreams He was perfectly happy at Saints until today.
pangy Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 SSN just showed RK interview yesterday saying no player will be sold until we get a new manager and that no deals have been done So is RK a flat out bull sh1tter or is this nothing but a rumour ?
badgerx16 Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Doesnt fit with our own boards comments, does it ? I believe that that statement was a naive comment from somebody who didn't seem to understand the nature of football finances, ( particularly given the new EPL TV deal ) - yes we owed what looked like a large sum of money, but as has been done to death elsewhere, it should have been viewed as more of a mortgage againt the TV money rather than a deadweight around the club's neck.
Saint Garrett Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Definite. :(:(:(:(:( Done then. Guan is ITK. Devastated
Saint Charlie Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 ...and he had his medical when? ...and where? Saturday according to BBC which is obviously just hurry up tactics to Saints.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 SSN just showed RK interview yesterday saying no player will be sold until we get a new manager and that no deals have been done So is RK a flat out bull sh1tter or is this nothing but a rumour ? Or did they only bid today, after his interview?

If it wasn't for twitter and the feeding frenzy it causes this wouldn't even be spoken about, what actual facts do we have, noneFair enough, I couldn't be bothered to sift through the terrible posts to find any good ones. Ok, but I'd be more concerned that Ralph would have gone back on what he said yesterday. No movement until we get a new manager. If we appoint our new boss before any deal is concluded, then fair enough.Things change. Manager or no manager, if Liverpool pull out of the deal because we mess them around then we'll have missed out on a great deal (providing we get the price sky are quoting) Putting sentiment aside, if anyone can honestly said they'd turn down that kind of money for a 32 year old striker they're mental. We could use that money to buy Ings.
alpine_saint Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 I believe that that statement was a naive comment from somebody who didn't seem to understand the nature of football finances, Why are appointing such people to our board ? Anyway, its an issue of perception and interpretation as much as anything. To me it opened the door for other clubs that had been slammed firmly shut by NC.
