ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC"

Decent player but I'd be not so quietly chuckling away if they threw circa £30m at that. And the Shaqiri back up plan is dodgy too. I can't say he's ever done anything to make him look top draw.

back up? he'd be first choice if they had any chaced at all of signing him. Bayern would tell the [Poor language removed] where to go
 
how can any Blue join Liverpool? i just dont get it. Unless you had no club or something
Eh. Money is a hell of a motivator. And this is professional.

If he can make £100k a week or more there he can be set up forever compared to whatever he's making at Southampton (not £100k a week). And it doesn't seem like the other super wealthy clubs are in for him.

It's hard to comprehend as a fan, but if I were in his spot, I'd have trouble turning the money down too, especially since this is probably his best chance at a big money contract before he begins a decline.
 

Think he's just amazed that he's scored about 12 goals a season in his ONLY TWO top flight seasons, he's 32, and has been signed by a club that had the most potent forward line in the league. I'd be baffled myself.

Good luck to him like; he has a thimbleful of talent and he's used it well. Baffling is the word though.
 
The reality is that good managers make decent players better... and often, when removed from the good manager, the better player isn't quite so good.. Poccytinyo did well at Saints and his legacy will probably fade away as he has gone and most of the apparently better players are planning to jump ship too. I expect Lambert has had his big time and now he's destined for the bench.

This LFC Echo feller slays me he really does.

Right off the back off his 'We Go Again' season review abomination he delivers a welter of data on Lambert, desperate to defend his signing from charges of another fundamental shift in Brendan's "filosofee".

The cult will always get the hack they deserve at the Echo, that's for sure.

Is this the one who was pictured in tears?

If so I don't think he expected "we go again" with the tears so soon.
 
“It’s only late on in his career – at 29, 30, 31 – that people are really starting to focus on his qualities. He was probably seen as the traditional big number nine, a British striker that is good in the air.

“But he’s one of the most accomplished footballers I’ve seen. It has been so refreshing that he’s got his call into the England team, and he certainly hasn’t let anyone down – he has been outstanding.

“Look at his touch, look at the level of his goals, the different types of goals he has scored over his career, and he’s a specialist on penalties as well.

“I think he is a terrific footballer and any team he plays against, he’s always a handful.” Rodgers.

“Christmas has come early for Rickie and I’m absolutely made up for him. He will give us that bit of a Plan B which we didn’t have last season,” Aldridge told Liverpool Echo.

“When you looked at the bench when we were challenging for the title Brendan didn’t really have any options on the bench to change things.

“It was a choice between Iago Aspas or Victor Moses, and it was pretty clear they weren’t going to change a game for us. But Rickie with his aerial ability, with the way he attacks balls coming into the box, gives us that different threat when it comes to getting crosses in.”

So which is it then?

Plan B lump it to Lambert - Aldridge.

Or not to be used as a big number 9 that is good in the air - Rodgers.

Good luck to the lad, he won't get many games but he will get a shed load of money. It'll be costing the RS about £200K a game....well in lad, drain as much money from them as you can........
