doddisalegend Posted 3 January, 2015 Share Posted 3 January, 2015 Phil Thompson suggesting Lambert wants to go on loan in January . They won't let him come to is but could see him going to Palace with Pardew I reckon he could do a job for Palace. Pardew would give him a bit of self belief again and given regular playing time I reckon he would find the back of the net enough to help keep Palace up.

SaintTex Posted 3 January, 2015 Share Posted 3 January, 2015 dream? sounds like a nightmare. He still hasn't scored at Anfield, correct? I am still not saying he regrets the decision, but it seems the dream hasn't worked out quite like he has hoped. As another poster noted, he would have regretted not taking the opportunity to go to Liverpool, but it seems reality has set in for him. I hope he succeeds wherever he goes.

Dellman Posted 3 January, 2015 Share Posted 3 January, 2015 I don't get the worship of Lambert, he did well for us thro' the divisions and he had a fairy story England debut thanks to what we had made him but he began the exodus.

sadoldgit Posted 3 January, 2015 Share Posted 3 January, 2015 To be fair I don't think him going made any difference to the likes of Lallana and Lovren etc bailing out.

Viking Saint Posted 3 January, 2015 Share Posted 3 January, 2015 Although it hasn't worked out, he can always say that he played for Liverpool and I hope they paid him a fair wack. I think the pay rise was fairly substantial, but I always felt it was an odd move. It would be his last major move at his age and let's be fair, he was never going to be their main front man. Not much room for sentimentality in modern PL football so the chance to set his family up must have been the driving force. Also noticeable that no one on here has so far suggested he come back to us on loan as an alternative to Pellè....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nta786 Posted 4 January, 2015 Share Posted 4 January, 2015 I don't think Rickie leaving started the exodus. It was really Poch leaving that started it- and arguably you can date back to Cortese.

He had to sign before the world cup. Surely he was pretty high up in their targets or it was something else? I have long believed that a lot of prem transfers are made in order to deprive the selling club of an asset. The buying club don't necessarily intend to use the player much, if at all. That said, in Lamberts case I initially reckoned it more likely that the dippers were buying the lambert/lallana partnership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 4 January, 2015 Share Posted 4 January, 2015 Lambert has probably played as much as he thought he would when he signed in the summer. He hasn't played as much as he thought he might in the circumstance of being one of only two fit strikers at the club and one of them well out of favour.

John B Posted 4 January, 2015 Share Posted 4 January, 2015 I'd say recruiting Matt le tissier was the best . I agree MLT was a fine player probably the most skillful player ever he did keep us in the PL but the years he played were not that successful for the club. Paine and Lambert got us two promotions played in World Cups played in European Competitions so that is why I think overall they have contributed more to the club in a positive way. We are now an established PL and were when MLT joined but 50 years ago we were far from that until Bates Paine Chivers Sydenham Knapp et al got us into Div 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_Tony Posted 4 January, 2015 Share Posted 4 January, 2015 Lambert would be good cover, things haven't worked out for him at Liverpool, but we know he can do a job here. Pelle can't be expected to play every game. It's minimal risk, and allows the club until the end of the season, as I'm sure whether or not we get european qualification is going to be a massive factor in our summer transfer strategy.

Lord Duckhunter Posted 4 January, 2015 Share Posted 4 January, 2015 Rickie Lambert is a Southampton legend, one of the best signings in my lifetime ( I'm in my 50's). He was the best striker in league one and was always going to score a shed load down there. However, the goals he scored in the championship were priceless, to go through that league in one go is what launched this club back to the big time. The way be played in the premiership and the goals he scored were a bonus. Where ever he plays I hope he is sucsessful. Just cast your mind back to how you felt when he headed that one in against the jocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
