Has Lambert pointed out he's scored far more goals in English football than Messi is ever going to score?

He looks like one of the detectives in Life On Mars.

There's no gamble taking Grant Holt on a free transfer, a player who did well for Lambert, but there's no way we should be paying anything to Wigan for a player on excessive wages for a Championship club and who can't even get a game in their first team.

This thread wouldn't look out of place on Villatalk, and for me that's about as damning as it gets.

How's the yellow and red card count looking?

That's just stats and to Lambert those are not relevant. What is more important is he is a real man, whatever that means.

In all seriousness though, i wouldn't have a problem with it if he'd already addressed the real issues and it was just a bit of extra insurance. While he's poncing around signing another striker who is not even that likely to play much and there's no sniff of experienced players in other areas coming in, you wonder whether he's finally lost it.

Is it the end of the world by taking him on loan? Kozak is out for ages, Bowery isn't good enough and who knows with Helenius. We've got Gabby, Benteke and Weimann, and Holt has experience of the league. Is it worth bringing him in to come on for Benteke, should he need to, towards the end of a game?

I know it's hardly aiming high, but short-term, maybe it's the only thing he can do?

Genuinely, no, in my opinion.

I'd rather use one of the options we already have. I know it's a loan, but he's going to expect to be paid, so I don't see the point in spunking money away like this.

Erm what exactly are the personal terms to discuss? If it's a loan surely that's dealt with directly at Wigan. If he's discussing personal terms that implies he's signing permanently?
