Lambert: No Service Again

he will never score with trollope in charge terrible service to him

But according to Lambert the fact that Trollope was here was a major factor in Lambert deciding to sign for us!

Obviously Trollope's approach has changed since they were at Bristol Rovers together.

I bet it was to be fair, it was a job for an old mate who had done a job for him in the lower leagues.

The only winner in this signing was Ricky Lambert, I bet he is laughing is head of (if the reports we are paying him £32k a week are true)

I'm not necessarily saying its a bad signing although I'm very doubtful at the moment. It is however the worst deal in the recent history of Cardiff City transfers.

If he plays beyond Xmas we'll be contracted to him for 3 years, he'll be 38. I cant envisage any possible scenario for us where Ricky Lambert is of use to us in 3 years. If we limit him to 20 games a season which I expect they'll do so they wont have to extend the contract than he's costing a mere £ 83,000 per game. WHICH f*cking IDIOT at our club negotiated that deal. We don't have a hope if we're run by such imbeciles.

beyond Christmas ? do have you seen his contract ?

20 games either this season or next will entitle him to a third season was what was advised at the time. Are you saying that's not the case ? Our club wouldn't agree to that ? That's what I want to hear to be honest. Its just that we've spent a small fortune in recent weeks paying off players who offered this club nothing.

Give Lambert a chance. Can't be as bad as Gadonkey surely. Like above worth Harris given a chance up front behind Lambert and try something different. Can't be worse than so far this season.

This is not about Rickey Lambert as a player. I hope he comes good although to be honest I cant see where that takes us with him. Its a really poor deal from our point of view. Nobody was buying Lambert on transfer deadline day and we struck a very bad deal. If he plays up to Xmas of this year, we lay him off not wanting to go above the 20 game clause, go down and cut our losses he could cost us £ 166 k / game for the games he's played. Nobody would have given Lambert more than a 12 month deal. If that would have meant WBA subsidising the remainder of his contract then they would have, he was absolutely dead money to them. If not we should have walked from the deal he's certainly not saviour of Cardiff City.

I'm absolutely amazed by what you say if it's true!
Not disputing it as I have no idea but I don't think many on here know about it if what you're saying is fact.

Paul, I just asked the question of someone I trust and they said Lambert's contract is for two years (the least he would accept) and there is no specific 'clause' that triggers a third season as a direct result of the number of appearances

The same person also said "The club are no longer that daft. We've just got rid of several high earning players with one or two happy to sit on their way too comfy contracts, which the club admit was partly their fault"

People will make of that what they want but it does appear to be in line with recent cost-cutting moves and the club's new found financial prudence

Give Lambert a chance but brand Fred 'Gadonkey' after 2 starts where he never got the full 90 and 4 appearances (mostly late on) off the bench.

I don't get that to be honest mate, how come Lambert gets a chance but not Fred?

They were my thoughts exactly! Why would the club go back into that nonsense.
I do wonder how people post on here and seem to know the ins and outs of a players contract and clauses.

remember that someone is also telling carl and could be wrong or just partly right
you gor to remember I don't think
anyone will know
100% other than lambert and the club

Not saying I believe it wez I'm just letting Sven know where people are getting their information.

Correct, I'm not a Ricky Lambert fan for reasons I have stated elswhere. If we had taken a chance on him at a decent price I might have said he was worth a punt but my posts have been made with the assumption that Carls info was sound.

I appreciate he's only getting it 3rd hand tho so if its wrong its wrong, shit happens.
