Remember when we were relying on Ricky Lambert up front!?

That is some forward line we have now if this goes through!

I do realize he hasnā€™t even done a medical but let me be excited

Yeah he took a bad corner in one of the very outings he had.

What did Benteke do or Carroll for the 30m that was spent on them, Benteke scored a consolation overhead and fell over for a penalty at Palace. Caroll had one great game against Man City.

Aspas has gone back to playing in Spain where he has thrived. Iā€™m not saying he would have been a Salah but there was potential there that Rodgers couldnā€™t bring through, potentially an option off the bench.

Evidently there is some talent in Aspas otherwise he would be playing La Liga 2

I will deny this conversation ever happened if he turns out to be shit.

I still think that had Sturidge stayed fit then Lambert as a 9 with him and Sterling playing off him could have been very useful. Lambert was a very good footballer who was good at bringing other players into the game. He just needed other players to run for him.

He does solve a few selection conundrums, by not being available.

Felt a bit sorry for him. He was nowhere near good enough butā€¦
Rodgers told him heā€™d be playing with Suarez but then sold him a month later.
Few weeks Rodgers told Lambert to find another club as he wouldnā€™t play much due to Balotelli coming in!

:rofl: Seriously. Southampton played some lovely football that season and Lambert played a significant role in it. He wasnt bought as a replacement but as a situational option, and it just turned out that with the rest of our pathetic recruitment and the subsequent disappearance of Sturridge that situation never once presented itself.

From Benteke, Firmino, Sturridge, Origi and Ings to Salah, Mane, Firmino, Jota and Diaz. Thank you Micky and Norbert.

Canā€™t expect him to sign without a lean poll!

@Hope.in.your.heart I think the talent/potential part is undoubted, otherwise we wouldnā€™t have gone for him. Regarding adaptability, I guess Klopp will use the reminder of this season and the next preseason to slowly bed him in. I donā€™t expect him to start or even play any significant part during February. Also, the Brazilian contingent will be very useful to help him settle down.

You donā€™t make the stereotypes, you just point them out.

A lean poll for @nobluff

  • No lean, just hunched over a table signing the contract
  • AXA Training ground
  • The Shankly Gates
  • The goal posts Bruce pissed on
  • A cardboard cut out of Jorge Mendes and Rui Paratici
  • Back to back with Jurgen like a spy movie poster
  • Over the bar of the Albert like a low budget Bond
  • Next to a saucy poster of Shakira
