maybe 7 years ago.

7 years ago he was playing for Bristol Rovers and no-one had ever heard of him.

There is a feature on him in the Southampton matchday programme. Apparently he started out as a right back! Fair play to the lad. He obviously has some talent and works hard and he's enjoying his day in the sun.

He terrorised our defence the other week. He's nifty with a dead ball anywhere up to 35 yards from goal. He never misses from the spot.

Fuck it. Sign him up and pay him £90k a week ;)

How about Glenn Murray to partner him up front?

Seriously speaking for what is a luxury role (4th choice striker unless you're actually suggesting Lambert be one of our main options!?) it's better to give a top young prospect Guidetti, a homegrown player, the chance and use the extra wages to strengthen positions that need it.

Not saying that it'd happen but he'd be a good impact sub.
He scores a lot of goals for a pretty shit side (even though they did beat us) so he'd be great with service from Silva and a new winger if we sign one.
Pretty old but still has a couple of seasons left in him, would be cheap and his wages would be one of the lowest on our books.

Thoughts? (don't have a go, I'm just curious)

No I didn't say that, I just wanted to see what people would think of it.

sorry for going OTT then mate, i think it would be a massive step backwards if we signed him though.

I don't think it'd be a step backwards. He'd be very cheap and would score at least 15 goals a season, more than Mario and Dzeko last season.
It certainly wouldn't be moving forward but he could be good to bring on when we're in dire need of a goal. It's obviously not gonna happen so this is really just pointless.

Surely you have homework to do?

Superb finisher vastly underrated. Won't be taken seriously because he played most of his career in lower leagues. People don't give these lads a chance anymore if he was called Ricardo lambertini and Southampton had signed him from Roma you'd all love him. Bet you'd all have Michu right now.

No. NO! NO we wouldn't!!!!!!

That would be winning bet :)

27 years old vs 31 years old. And younger is better. Where's dilemma there?
