So take the 8 million pound bid. What do you have to worry about? If he loves Saints that much then he'll stay. But maybe he doesn't. Maybe he's not quite as diehard as you think, in which case 8 million pounds is a good price.
I don't think Rickie is going anywhere, especially in January. Whatever happens though, he has repaid the £1 mill we paid out for him many times over...being a major contributor to our success. I want for Rickie what he wants.
If you are not allowed a testimonial after 5 years then the club should make an exception along with the freedom of the City.
It was like seeing Redknapp drive off a cliff in my new car ! Gutted, yet glad that if anyone was to deliver the fatal blow, it was him.
All those who have been suggesting players leaving, did you not watch JRod's interview on Football Focus..? None of them actually want to leave. I'm not even sure Ramirez is really that keen to go. By my guess [and that's all it is], Yoshida would be the first out the door, followed by Lee.
Mauricio says he is unaware of any bids for Rickie Lambert. He also says that Rickie Lambert is very happy here, and he doesn't understand why this rumour continues.
There is a certain historical inevitability about this, Rickie was the first signing under Nicola's regime after all.
How strong are those rumours? They have pretty busy all day thrashing out Cortese's exit. Do we think she has had time to also accept a bid for Lambert from West Ham and allow him to discuss terms? Seems a bit sudden.
Maybe she's been interfering, or trying to, for a while? One possible outcome. May explain links: Shaw to MUFC/CFC/THFC // Lallana to MUFC // Lambert to WHUFC - I don't know.
Why did West Ham want... Carlton Cole Ricardo Vaz Te John Carew Nicky Maynard Sam Baldock ...when they only play one up front. West Ham are West Ham, they don't make sense. Buy now, think later.
