I think they were promoted to the German top flight with a lot of money behind them I know Leipzig spend a lot on young talent. Just surprised Germany would be his preferred destination at this time.

It's hard to gauge from what we've seen so far He certainly has the talent, and looks more suited to a central role, but just being one of a two, demands so much energy. As I said, it's hard to tell, but he looks to me to be the sort of player who'd be happier in a three man midfield Abdi has generally played in a 3 from what i have seen - and i aways thought we would more likely play with a 3 and maybe see a striker making way I think he's a great signing but it would represent a bit of a waste if he doesn't get to play in his best position I think he can play in a 2 but again, it wouldn't be his strength Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McManaman & Lambert or Reach & Rhodes would be a statement of intent but they'll probably end up at the relegated sides or the likes of Derby and Wolves, etc because they seem to be able to spend whatever they like.

Wasn't it said that Wednesday didn't think much to CM attitude ?? Lambert obviously has a record at this level that speaks for itself but i think his best days are behind him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're signing another striker he needs to be speedy or / prolific scorer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 (edited) Interestingly, Pulis reckons WBA will get their money back on McManaman, and possibly make a profit on Lambert. I'd like to know who would pay 3mil+ on Rickie Lambert in his current state, so I can laugh. Edited August 28, 2016 by wilyfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle , Derby and Villa are probably daft enough to pay over three mill on Lambert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 In the current market £3m for Lambert is a good deal. It will be his wages that are the problem, as I guess he signed a huge deal at Liverpool, which was carried across to West Brom. Probably the reason why he is still there.

By his own admission, he's not been good enough since leaving Southampton. If he moves somewhere and does well, fair play to him. But right now, 3mil looks a bad investment on a 34yr-old has-been.

Was it 3.5? Circa 4.75, I believe. Bit too strong, in my opinion. 3 would be fair, given that he's not pulled up any trees there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNChance Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Brave move by Burke, Leipzig have got some serious cash behind them though. Huge money for an unproven player, looks very talented though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
