Rickie Lambert & The Cobra

[palerider]

The new woman in charge at Southampton appears to be pretty shrewd. If there was a firm bid of 7m for a 32 year-old striker she'd take it.

The problem being that from the Chuckle Brothers it'll be 10k up front, 5k a week as long as he starts, 2m in Argos vouchers, 1m in B.Silkman 'tailors of distinction' vouchers (never mind the quality, feel the width) and the rest if we don't get relegated at all over the next 5 seasons.

But Lambert doesn't wan't to leave, why would he leave a mid-table team to go to a relegation fighting team.

Doubling his wages might do it.

what with the WC this year and him not playing, i'm sure he'd like to join but the Saints board won't let him.

Think your slightly missing the point regarding Lambert mate.
He is never going to sign for a top four club now so champions league football is gone for him so at the age of 32 he is going to be looking for a nice pay day and regular first team football with the World Cup coming up, we can offer him both and I would bet 100% that IF Southampton accepted an offer from us then lambert would join like a shot.

or..

West Ham also, obviously, need to improve their front line. Andy Carroll is back but some burden needs to be taken off his broad shoulders. Recent reports have suggested that Southamptona??s England international Rickie Lambert could soon be joining West Ham. Youa??d have to say anything does come that would be a real coup for the club a?? a struggling Premier League side signing a player who could well go to the World Cup with England a?? whatever you think of Big Sam hea??s got some brilliant contacts from his years in the game.

Anyway bookmakers SkyBet now have West Ham as odds-on favourites to sign Rickie Lambert during January. He is not getting enough gametime at The Saints and his priority will surely be to get on that plane to Brazil.

The England striker has scored a remarkable 99 goals in just 191 appearances in Southampton. SkyBet have the player at 1/2 to join West Ham in the window.

another anecdote, probably won't happen anyway

I understand the points about regular starts as it's a World Cup year & money, but he's said that he's very happy here's& wants to finish his career with saints so I'd personally be surprised if he left.

But who knows in football
