Lambert in or out? Poll reset with majority 'in', 7th May

[saunders_heroes]

Ricardo Carvalho has been sitting on his hands at Real Madrid this year as 5th choice centre half and probably won't play another game his season. I know Eig is a big fan.

Carvalho would have been the one for me.  Mourinho told him in August to find a new club.  Surely we could have done a deal for him? Even if Real paid half his wages.

Players like that wouldn't even look in our direction let alone sign for us what our policy of offering YTS wages.

All the same, makes you wonder why Lambert didn't use some of that January transfer wedge to try and tempt Carvalho.

Seriously?

What transfer wedge?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

This debate reminds me of when you were all trying to convince me that Ireland was a good signing!

Or when some loons on here thought Gary Cahill was crap.

The next two games are so very crucial- lets hope whatever his faults lambert can get the players up for these games.

I believe lambert could have strengthened the defence if he wished ., that should have been top priority.

[saunders_heroes]

He won't be happy with you sharing a private email!

The two players he did get are just bizarre signings. He lost the plot there.

[eastie]

Surely it was obvious to him that he needed to sign someone to go straight into the team not more squad players.

Worrying times for sure,the loss of delph is the last thing we needed - lets hope vlaar steps in at the weekend - will be a nailbiting game for sure.

[Chris Smith]

Sharner or upson would have been better than clark or baker- upsons name is used as an example of the defenders available last month - there would have been many others - the fact that he recruited no defender at all is unacceptable given our plight.

The fact lambert thinks clark has had an excellent season shows just how deluded he is - he has lost the plot but im sure chris you will be defiantly singing his praises if he takes us down .

He's not deluded, he hasn't lost the plot, he's juts trying to keep a group of relatively inexperienced players motivated. Clark had a good game last night, other than one aberration, but because you've decided everything is shit you don't see it. The last thing he needs is the manager slagging him off in public.

Problem is Chris that one aberration cost us the game. It's also not an isolated incident this season, the defence has consistently made glaring errors which have cost us games.

He's never been crap, just wasn't good enough for a regular starting place with us at the time, so he went to a smaller club to get regular football. Quite admirable in some respects but it buggered us about so I've little sympathy for the git. He's got his big move 4 years later but still doesn't look to have sorted out his concentration issue.

I accept that but unless you can buy the best players at their peak you're always going to get mistakes.

My broader point is that, with 4 centre halves picking up wages currently, it was unlikely that we could afford another one good enough to significantly improve us.

He lost the plot in January when he in his wisdom decided our defence didnt need strengthening.
