Sir Rickie Lambert or The King of the Scummers?

So, you can only have one in the team (playing in the Prem), 

Which one would you take? And why?

For me, it is hard to cast aside Rickie, the modern day messiah and such a good footballer as well. But most of it was done at the lower levels and whilst he was still class in the PL, was he better than Ings at this level? IMHO, probably not.

Ings is also a fantastic footballer but again, en route to 20 plus goals this season.

So, I'd take Ings.

Ings is clearly a better player, he's genuinely Champions League quality and we're lucky to have him.  I'd struggle to say which is my preferred Saints legend though - probably still Rickie for now.

Think Rickies legendary status will always be there and the way Ings is performing, he will be too at this rate.

Can't believe Micky Evans misses out on this.

True. I don't recall Ings or Lambert being committed enough to the Saints cause to headbutt a post while scoring a goal.

In all seriousness, can we have both? Would be amazing to see peak Lambert and Ings up front together for us.

Without Rickie, Ings wouldn’t be playing for us. We’d still be in championship. 
 

It’s not always about the best players, Ings is clearly a better top flight player, but rickie was the better signing. I heard Lawrie say  Peter Osgood was his best signing because the message it sent out. Same with signing Rickie. Top top signing at that time and we never looked back.

SRL for longevity and absolute brilliance. Ings is perhaps a level above in the PL but needs to do it for longer to elevate himself above SRL's legend status, which will take some beating. Both SRL and KOTS offer so much more than their goals, too.

Ings is at a higher level than Lambert reached with us, but probably has a way to go to reach the legend status of SRL

Lambert had a pretty good career but I can't help but wonder how much more he could have achieved if he got fitter earlier in his career and was playing at the top level before he reached 30! Ings has already surpassed his PL goals and will probably do the same at international level soon
