farawaysaint Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Could someone please translate this for us non-twitter users? Someone bragging about starting the baseless rumour.
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Seems like a good deal but you have to reserve judgement until you see how the money is spent. £9m will mean nothing to us if we sign someone **** with it. Can't say I'm getting my hopes up...
saintoaks Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 I'm getting proper fed up now, keep trying to be optimistic and telling my boys all will be ok but how many punches are we going to take. I've just got a horrible feeling 6 or 7 will go and the club will be put up for sale. Tin hats required !
S-Clarke Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Could someone please translate this for us non-twitter users? Someone changed their twitter alias to a well known reporter, tweeted a rumour that Lambert was going, and it was re-tweeted by journos and kind of took off from there. I'm stunned Sky have picked it up though, still kind of feel they've had their pants pulled down....but why are other reporters now confirming it....not sure they'd all be taken for a ride!
View From The Top Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 https://twitter.com/___TomK/status/472058956622614528/photo/1 If Sky have bitten based on that then bravo.
Ken Tone Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Someone bragging about starting the baseless rumour. Thanks. And what about the claim that the Times reporter said it was happening?
S-Clarke Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 I'm getting proper fed up now, keep trying to be optimistic and telling my boys all will be ok but how many punches are we going to take. I've just got a horrible feeling 6 or 7 will go and the club will be put up for sale. Tin hats required ! Then that would be silly. Surely we'd be a more attractive sale as a club with our best players here? Would be a dim-wit business move.

I'm stunned Sky have picked it up though, still kind of feel they've had their pants pulled down....but why are other reporters now confirming it....not sure they'd all be taken for a ride! So this whole thing is a wind up?

Would be the most damning indictment of the sports press if it turns out to be b*****ks.
adrian lord Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 If it is indeed true, it is a device to shaft Bournemouth regarding the sell on fee for Adam.
Baird of the land Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 I'm thinking someone at sky bet is rubbing their hands with glee at all the free money people have thrown at them over what was essentially a novelty bet.

Why are you ? A lot of Sky Sources turnu out to be local journos close to a club.
tisspahars Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 A solution to the Bournemouth problem? Announced as Lallana for 20M and Rickie for 8M but Saints and Liverpool know it's really 26M and 2M......?
Window Cleaner Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Then that would be silly. Surely we'd be a more attractive sale as a club with our best players here? Would be a dim-wit business move. nope players might be worth more than the club, if we can't make a reasonable profit on 100 million£ annual revenues then we might as well sell the component parts and bin the rest or let it slide back into obscurity..
Dr Who? Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 So is sky sourest twitter users.... FFS! I am worried as I work with a Liverpool and Spurs fan! I do not think I can take much more. Spurs want jrod so I have heard!
aintforever Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 ...but why are other reporters now confirming it....not sure they'd all be taken for a ride! Yeah, god knows why they would want to get people to read their publication.
S-Clarke Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 nope players might be worth more than the club, if we can't make a reasonable profit on 100 million£ annual revenues then we might as well sell the component parts and bin the rest or let it slide back into obscurity.. Excited for the future.
Saint Billy Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Sky stating that is one of their sources, I doubt even they would take seriously some random twitter gossip.
View From The Top Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Thanks. And what about the claim that the Times reporter said it was happening? Willing to bet that they've all taken it from the same source and made a few calls to people who have also taken it from the same source. I love SRL, he's a legend but can you see Liverpool really paying £9m for him when it's obvious that they are shopping for a back 4? If they do, they're nuts.
holepuncture Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 what do Sky care, they've made a shedload of money from ridiculous bets, or will they be handing it back to the punters ? LOL good point!

Window Cleaner Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Excited for the future. didn't say it was likely to happen but it's a fact all the same. The players are worth more than the club. We've dug ourselves into a hole with the training centre and that obviously needs sorting out.
S-Clarke Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Willing to bet that they've all taken it from the same source and made a few calls to people who have also taken it from the same source. I love SRL, he's a legend but can you see Liverpool really paying £9m for him when it's obvious that they are shopping for a back 4? If they do, they're nuts. It would be bizarre, doesn't even fit the way they play. They have a young lad they're bringing through, can't exactly remember his name right now....but they also have Sturridge, Suarez, Aspas, Alberto...Sterling can play through the middle too. Based on the speed Brendon got rid of Carroll, I don't think he's after that sort of striker. esp. not for 9 flaming million.
Saint_clark Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Why are you ? A lot of Sky Sources turnu out to be local journos close to a club. But it's not, it's literally just a bloke pretending to be a journo who started it as a laugh.
St Chalet Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 @dankerins: Okay, so Rickie Lambert to Liverpool is real. I genuinely did not see that one coming. #saintsfc @SimonPeach: Not had anything firmed up on the talk of Lambert to #LFC but, put it this way, nobody has told me it's a rumour without foundation. @gordonsimpson: Lambert to Liverpool, if true (which it increasingly sounds like it is), is a jaw dropper. #saintsfc
badgerx16 Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Liverpool Echo doesn't appear to have reported anything.
Saint_clark Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Melanie Lambert @melaniemlambert · 3m I have no words to describe how am feelin at the minute. Absolutly over the moon xx Oh christ...
BlakeySFC Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Hahahahahaha what a load of bo!!ocks. Would be one of the strangest transfers ever, why would Rodgers get rid of Carroll a few years ago and then want to buy Rickie now, doesn't make any sense. :lol:
Dig Dig Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Hahahahahaha what a load of ********. Would be one of the strangest transfers ever, why would Rodgers get rid of Carroll a few years ago and then want to buy Rickie now, doesn't make any sense. :lol: Because Lambert is better and nothing like Carroll?
Dr Who? Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 The owners could always get rid of the assets, pay themselves large sums of money and still put the club up for sale. My feeling was they would do the below. 1) NC leave 2) get a replacement for NC to market the club. 3) Poch leave 4) put the club on the market. 5) replace Poch with a cheap option 6) start transferring players for big money (if no one was coming forward at the price the owners were looking for. 7) put the club on the market for less, but pocket large amounts if money from transfer fees, to make up the difference. I was hoping this would not be true, but 'some' of this seems to be happen.
Saints foreva Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Melanie Lambert @melaniemlambert · 3m I have no words to describe how am feelin at the minute. Absolutly over the moon xx Oh christ... That's his sister isn't it?
Appy Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Melanie Lambert @melaniemlambert · 3m I have no words to describe how am feelin at the minute. Absolutly over the moon xx Oh christ... Just bought a new pair of shoes.
Saint Charlie Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Obviously something in it. When does it actually become a meltdown or are we all still saying it's the media?
John B Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 It would be bizarre, doesn't even fit the way they play. They have a young lad they're bringing through, can't exactly remember his name right now....but they also have Sturridge, Suarez, Aspas, Alberto...Sterling can play through the middle too. Based on the speed Brendon got rid of Carroll, I don't think he's after that sort of striker. esp. not for 9 flaming million. I dont think he is interested in Lallana at 30 Million either no mention of Lambert http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/may/29/liverpool-step-up-interest-sevilla-alberto-moreno
alpine_saint Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 I'm getting proper fed up now, keep trying to be optimistic and telling my boys all will be ok but how many punches are we going to take. I've just got a horrible feeling 6 or 7 will go and the club will be put up for sale. Tin hats required ! Which is why I speculated the other day that KL is doing exactly the same to SFC as she did to MALI. I recommend you hold on to your ST money, if you've still got it...
beatlesaint Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 But it's not, it's literally just a bloke pretending to be a journo who started it as a laugh. Yeah i know but Sky didn't when they ran with the story !
doddisalegend Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Sky sports news website not exactly a lot of detail http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/9330945/premier-league-liverpool-close-in-on-southamptons-rickie-lambert
Saint Charlie Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Basically, the bit where we were all happy our players got called up for England. That.
Appy Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Which is why I speculated the other day that KL is doing exactly the same to SFC as she did to MALI. I recommend you hold on to your ST money, if you've still got it... You would say that, you never go to games.
Viking Warrior Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Just driven home 5 live are discussing it . I'm totally stunned if true Is that Melanie lambert for real . Haven't Liverpool got enough strikers already unless squarez is being sold .
Ken Tone Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 I dont think he is interested in Lallana at 30 Million either no mention of Lambert http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/may/29/liverpool-step-up-interest-sevilla-alberto-moreno Yeah ...saw that. So if we really are turning down anything less than £30 million for AL, will the hysteria over the Board having a fire sale stop?
Georgie Posted 29 May, 2014 Posted 29 May, 2014 Well if this is true it makes a total mockery of Ralph's statement yesterday. We don't need to sell.... but we will for big money. Everything is on our terms....yeah ok. At this rate I'm ready not going to care how England get on, as none on our trio will actually be playing for us. Rickie was the one that I thought would definately be playing for us next season.
