BBc Radio chap just been on with Mark Chapman to confirm he has heard Lambert is definitely staying at Liverpool, thank god for that dodged a bullet there.  We can spend 5 mil more wisely than that.
In the next hour and 45 minutes?
Given recent history, it's a faint hope but they may have a plan B.

I suspect he is the Plan B.

Well, that was a nice idea while it lasted. Why not offer the money last Friday and see if you could do it then? Or even better, find a striker in Europe for £5 million that would do a job?

Amazingly inept from Lambert again. I fear fox is just as useless.

If the money is available (which I am not convinced) this would have been the smart move.

Of course it would, but we don't do smart moves.

Not tonight we can't.  May be relegated by the time we can.

Dave, as we all know we have the players already that can keep us up, signing R Lambert wouldn't have made a significant difference to where we will finish in the table at the end of the season, we all know that the other Lambert is the problem in terms of him completely failing to fulfill the collective potential of our squad.  I am sure when all the transfer window hyperbole has dissipated and teams have to go with what they have got we will just get on with it, hobble to the end of the season and stay in the dreadfully poor league by a few points and the good fortune that there are at least three or four clubs shitter than us.

We will probably try and poach Carlton Cole off the Baggies!

I note Sky have just said QPR have four loan players in ?

I also note the glee in which they've announced that someone ive never heard of has had his loan cancelled. Is anyone that bothered, even the player himself?

Sadly no. At the risk of being a bore let me repeat though, I am terrified the club seems perfectly calm about our situation. They should have been in full fledged panic mode this whole month, instead we have this "don't worry lets make a couple of sensible little signings and tweak the squad, we will be fine." kind of vibe.

I am terrified, they don't seem to be. One of us is going to look foolish in a few months. I hope its me.

I suppose we could console ourselves that we arent signing Carlton Cole.

Whats happened to all the spotty oiks that used to hang on the shoulders of the presenters? Are they bored of it as well.
