From BBC Website Liverpool are close to agreeing a deal for Southampton and England striker Rickie Lambert for a fee of around £4m plus add-ons. Saints have turned down one offer for the 32-year-old already, but talks with Liverpool are continuing. The Reds are hopeful Lambert will be able to complete a medical on Saturday before flying out to Miami with the England squad on Sunday. The Liverpool-born forward is intent on leaving St Mary's this summer. Southampton rejected a similar bid from West Ham in January but are set to cash in on the player now. If Saints, without a manager following Mauricio Pochettino's move to Tottenham, receive a bid they deem acceptable, they will not stand in his way. There has been interest in Lambert from other clubs, but it is understood he is currently only considering Liverpool. He spent five years as a youth player at Anfield before being released as a 15-year-old and he still supports the Reds. He scored 14 goals in 39 games this season and has 117 in 235 appearances since joining Southampton from Bristol Rovers in 2009.
taken from sky sports... Liverpool have made an offer of between £8m and £10m to Southampton for striker Rickie Lambert, Sky sources understand. The 32-year-old England international had previously been linked with a move to Anfield, but both clubs currently remain silent on the move. Lambert has scored 60 goals in the last three seasons at Southampton and is known to be a Liverpool supporter. And Southampton legend and Sky Sports expert Matt Le Tissier has already suggested Lambert should be allowed to follow his heart if it tells him to play for his boyhood club. He tweeted: "If Rickie joins lfc I will say good luck to him and thanks for helping to resurrect #sfc it's his boyhood team and in CL.#stillahero." Sky Sports also brought you the news that Liverpool had made a bid for Lambert's Southampton and England team-mate Adam Lallana earlier this month. The striker, who has scored 117 goals in 235 appearances for Southampton, is currently training with England ahead of the pre-World Cup friendly with Peru at Wembley on Friday. Sky Bet had suspended betting on Lambert's future earlier on Thursday after he was heavily backed in from 5/1 for a move to Liverpool. By the afternoon the striker had been backed in to 1/3 and went as short as 1/6 for a move to Anfield, at which point Sky Bet suspended the market with the betting trend failing to subside. Sky Bet's head of football trading Paul Wiggins said: "We've seen a remarkable run of bets on the move having only opened the market this morning. "As yet, we're unsure why it's proved so popular, but we had no choice but to shut up shop as the market became too one sided." Lambert has been at Liverpool before, joining the club as a 10-year-old and spending five years there before heading to Blackpool as a trainee.
so then the deal is done. lambert has passed his medical. £4 million deal plus add ons. we have 20% sell on clause so we get £600k however rochdale have a 25% sell on clause from the money we get so they get £150k out of our £600k meaning we get £450k from the deal.
Hmm I'm sure when Lawrence sold Lambert to Southampton he believed "his best days are behind him" yes that was good old LL looking in his Crystal ball and saying this was a good deal for the club and could raise the club UP TO £1.2 million with add on. So I'm hoping there is a windfall as all conditions seem to be "confidential" and I believe Southampton will owe us £0
Good point from AGasfan - wouldn't Rochdale have got their sell-on out of the £1million we got from Saints? To be honest RoD, I don't think anyone really knows what the add-ons are, what the exact fee is and more importantly what the bloody hell the board are going to do with the money!
rochdale did get a payout when we sold lambert to southampton. rochdale will also get a further pay out from us due to the sell on clause in our deal with southampton. this money owed to us from the sell on clause, will be classed as part of the fee that southampton originally paid for lambert when they signed him from us. this is why we will owe rochdale money as it will be part of the sell on clause that we agreed with them when we signed him. if we didnt get a sell on clause in our deal with southampton then we obviously wont get anything now so where we get no further payment, nor would rochdale. thankfully we did get a sell on clause. so the £4m fee will get broken down as follows... saints get the £4m they will pay us £600k - 20% of the fee. we will pay rochdale £150k - 25% of the £600k. if rochdale got a sell on clause from the previous club then out of their £150k they will have to pay them too.
we should get 20% of the add ons. the add ons is part of the transfer deal so any money paid by liverpool to southampton for any of the add ons for example say if saints and liverpool agreed a further £1m when lambert scored 20 goals, soon as he reaches this target within the contract length, we would get £200k - 20% of that money. hopefully the add ons are quite high. the deal to begin with was around £9m so maybe there is lots of add ons which could see the deal rise to £9m?? typical add ons taken from football manager as examples.... hit an agreed amount of appearances hit an agreed amount of scored goals hit an agreed amount of assits made hit an agreed amount of international caps if he manages to hit any then liverpool would have to pay southampton and whatever that amount is we will get 20% of it and then we would have to pay rochdale 25% of that etc.
