I fully expected him to be missing games regularly through injury, and that is why I predicted he was a 10 to 12 goal a season player at best. His hold up play is good, he will get a few goals, but he is not the answer to our dismal scoring record.

Steve,it was nice to hear a big name for City,but for me Lambert was the answer and is still not.
I agree he can hold the ball well and is skilful, but a lot of money wasted in my opinion yet again.
I was very sceptical about signing a player past his sell by date and very injury prone.
