The January 2015 Transfer Rumour Thread

[ozzjim]

I think he is worth 4-5 million for 2 seasons actually. He is a much better player than he is given credit for, he is also not stupid enough to up sticks from his boyhood club to come to Villa.

[pauliewalnuts]

Surely even we couldn't be sufficiently clueless to pay 5m for a 32 year old?

We've done it for a 35 year old in the not too distant past.

At least he was a goalie though.

Lambert's launched a please don't come and don't get me plea

It's true desperation, and £5m for a club which doesn't have much money otherwise (it would be over a third of our transfer outlay, including the summer) is a surprising amount to pay for a 32-year-old. However, just because it's desperate doesn't mean it can't work - which is a pretty desperate thing to say, I admit.

TL;DR don't know if it's been done but people with that name just make me think of



RICKIIIEEE!!!

Id be happy with him but lot of cash. It's being reported up there that its up to him if he wants to go.

If he came, scored 3 winners between now and May giving us 9 points, he would have been worth it. If you said to any side in the bottom 5 would you spend 5 million on 9 point now, you would take it. Lambert will score 4-5 goals if he starts. Depends on how he is deployed by saint Paul though.

And would it make a blind bit of difference if he even came anyway?

[enigma]

I do rate Rickie Lambert, but £5m? Didn't Liverpool only pay £4m for him in the summer?

They were presumably not as desperate as we are now.

[silhillvilla]

No way will lambert come here .

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Bloody hell, we're trying to get rid of a Lambert, knowing our board they'll get rid of the wrong one.

[PeterWithesShin]

Dad as manager and son playing. We haven't had that since Ron and Dalian.

[john e]

Where had this news of the 5 mill come from ?

[Clampy]

Maybe we should bring him him on loan.
