Also I follow him on twitter and the general impression is that he goes back to London at the first opportunity he gets, and doesn''t enjoy coming back to Norwich much, although I''m not saying he doesn''t enjoy his football Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lambert is King 0 Posted December 28, 2010 Can I have a pint of what you have been drinking op. If we could sign him for £1m and championship wages ie he is prepared to drop by about £15k a week I am sure the money would be found.Anyway Lambert has confirmed a hamstring injury so unfortunately that could be the last we ever see of him.

Lambert is King 0 Posted December 28, 2010 Fair opinion City Till I Die as I dont know what he is on either but here are some factsIn December 2009 he signed what was beleived to be a five year contract with ArsenelIn August 2010 he and Arsenel turned down a large offer from Blackburn for his services in the premiershipNewcastle and WBA also tried to sign him in the last windowWenger claims him to be the best young English player and expects him to some day captain ArsenelPearce backs up the aboveAnd something I bet most did not know is that he is also a highly rated goalkeeper Like I said I dont know what he is on either but if he has a long term contract with one of the top clubs in the country I would suggest he is on a dam site more than any of our players. I would also add that if Blackburn thought we were about to sign him they would out bid anything we offered and quote double any wages we could offer.

[/quote]With Arsenal resources, i fear he may be a bit player at the club...would he be satisfied with this??? hopefully not...if and thats a big IF, we got to the prem(i may be dreaming but i think we have a great chance under Lambert) why wouldnt he sign for us? we could offer him Prem footy and decent wages[Y] I may be getting caught up in our revolution under Lambert but im hoping we are looking at top end of players to sign[:D]Lets hope the Board can some how find the money to back Lambert all the way[Y] OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shiplee15 0 Posted December 28, 2010 Never!He has a big future ahead of him and i reckon you''d need around 3mill to tempt them probs around 15-20% of next transfer fee.. If we could get him for a mill then there would be loads of clauses to make it up. Would be a hell of a signing tho IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However i think wenger let bentley go for free after his contract ran out but i think that was cos bentley wouldnt sign another contract, not sure thoughwages though i doubt he''s on much more than our average player.if its only short term injury still like see us bring him in for the rest of the season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Move Klose 303 Posted December 29, 2010 I think from memory Bentley joined Blackburn for around £3m, but they got about another £3m in sell on clause when he joined Tottenham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJP 79 Posted December 29, 2010 [quote user="Ben"]Wenger rates him highly so that''s a no.[/quote] Is there ever a young player who isn''t highly rated by his own manager? Pretty much every young player going is highly rated, it''s a bit of a cliché. In Lansbury''s case, he is obviously a good player but I''m not sure if he''ll be Arsenal first team quality, in the long run. I also don''t think £1m is an unrealistic amount for a player who has done well in a season or so in the Championship without really setting it alight.
