tom cavendish 0 Posted August 28, 2012 A couple of months ago Hughton said “I think you can carry on [scoring goals] and I fully expect Ricky Lambert to carry on scoring goals in the Premier League next season."Paul Trollope once signed Rickie Lambert and was his manager for a few years.

Gingerpele 0 Posted August 28, 2012 Why would Southampton sell their star striker? Everyone expects him to do a Holt. They are well off, can pay him more than we can. To be honest if he were going to move, it would have been last summer, or the season before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted August 28, 2012 "Why would Southampton sell their star striker?" So he could teach at Carrow Road and be leased back to the Saints at a peppercorn rent, while letting his house to some students who could fly into Norwich airport from Southampton to study at the new campus at Costessey showground Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps Lambert wants a better contract as his last one was signed when they were promoted to the Championship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your assumption, however veiled, that Lambert would leave Southampton, after all the hard work, and go to newly relegated Blackburn on the basis of a better contract is, like that majority of your posts, quite ridiculous.

Bill 1,788 Posted August 28, 2012 "like that majority of your posts, quite ridiculous" this to a man who amongst many things claimed he was not only, and had been, a top football scout as well as running a highly successful business - at the same time as drafting up some feasibilty study to develop Carrow Road whilst building a new ground at the Uni or Costessey showground I think the word fantasist springs to mind Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He last signed a contract with Southampton after they had won promotion from League 1. He then went on to score 31 goals last season. Southampton are looking to sign players on enormous wages. Do you not think that Lambert might want a much better contract, particularly as his mate Holt at Norwich has managed to get one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
