Rickie Lambert

[Section_31]

I know why a lot of fans want this transfer to work but he's hopeless in a Rodgers team and it's clear now that Rodgers doesn't want him too. I think this may result in the Borini treatment, probably to the benefit of Ibe since he stayed.

I honestly think it'd be more productive in the long run if Rodgers got an idea of what a player could do before he bought them.

Agreed, it's happened to nearly all of our signings - first team to wilderness and occasionally, but not often, back again, then out on loan, wages too high to sell. Terrible transfer policy.

[stringvest]

If lambert does get another game, it makes sense to have lallana playing close to him as they were both effective in the league together last season . He has disappointed, Rickie, and I'm sad it hasn't worked as well as we hoped.

[King Emlyn]

Depends on his character Zonk. Could turn out as a boot up the arse for him.

Correct, they're paid enough to get on with it really aren't they.

[JermainePennant]

Another one of Rodgers bad signings that would have made us a profit if he was interested in playing football.

 

Can't blame lambert as he left being in a comfortable position at Southampton and leaving after 6 months makes him look like a big failure.

 

Can't see him getting much game time but fair play to him, at least in the summer we should get most of our money back.

He moved to the club he supports six months ago, at the age of 32, having risen from League 2. Can't believe he doesn't want to fuck off and be Benteke's understudy at Villa.

[Grinch]

We;d rather play without a forward then give the lump a start, so nah, I don't understand his reasoning in staying tbh.  It is true that he wouldn't get a game for Villa either right enough.

[Strontium]

Lambert knowing he was about to be binned isn't really going to be good for his morale is it?

 

It did the trick when we tried to flog Henderson to Fulham. Henderson started to look like a footballer from precisely that point.

[Section_31]

Don't think Lambert will be arsed we tried to sell him, I'm sure he knows he's a bit out of his league but is just enjoying himself. Fair play to the lad. What a way to see out the last year or so of your career at the club you always supported? If he can just be around Melwood and harbour a dream of pulling out the odd winning goal that's probably preferable to playing every game at Villa, maybe not if he was 24, but he's not.

Agreed, it did. Difficult to compare the 2 given their particular paths to premier league status but a kick up the arse is never a bad thing for some.

Hard to see Lambert improving much. He's at the fag end of his career unlike Hendo who needed to unleash his potential . I'm afraid Ricky's potential was unleashed quite some time ago

[ratcatcher]

To be fair to Lambert, he was only bought as a squad filler and someone to bring on giving Sturridge and an other a breather.

[Ne Moe Imya]

I would prefer if he had left, would have enabled us to make a profit on a poor transfer and all that, but I can perfectly understand why he hasn't.  Still think we'll get most of our money back in the summer and maybe he can pop up with a goal or two until then.  Not a bad player, just not the right player for us.

[LFC 6 Times]

Why the fuck would he go to Villa? As a massive Liverpool fan, still with ambitions of an FA cup and Europa League win as well as trying to finish in the top 4. I completely understand his decision, he's come from a decent Southampton side scoring 29 PL goals in the process, what's the logic of giving it up to go and play for a far worse side than he came from 8 months ago. although he's not going to play a great deal here, it's a damn sight better than going to 11 goal scored sinking ship Aston Villa, with a manager whos on very tenterhooks. To be involved in the squad here still must be very special for Rickie.

[A_S]

Reading some of his quotes from the article on LFC.tv, he really is living the dream, isn't he? As for playing more, hopefully the games keep piling up from here on, as it means the reds are still in multiple competitions and it will also mean quite a few appearances from Rickie yet. 

 

I really do hope this guy gets to score in front of the Kop. A sweet hit like the late one against Villa would do nicely. 

[J-V]

Hopefully he gets fucked off in the Summer with a load of the other rubbish we have.

Maybe we should keep a position open in the squad for the biggest Liverpool fans; we could bring them on for the last 10 minutes in front of the Kop in the hopes that they get to score as a reward for being such massive fans. As soon as they score, they are swapped out for the next fan. What romance!

What do Rickie Lambert and the Titanic have in common?

 

 

They both should never have left Southampton!

Thought you may have been referring to their turning circles.

Knob.

What have Rodgers and the Bismarck got in common?

 

After a promising start they both got sunk after heading for Brest. 

[Paulie Dangerously]

Let's put it down to a bad job and move him on.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Shame I like him but evolution moves quicker. If he raced a chimp it would be human by the time Ricky gets the the finishing line.

I think you can add Lovren to that list
