Rickie Lambert': Ex-England striker's Cardiff City future in doubt

Lambert so far has cost Cardiff approx £1.2mill in wages.

What the hell were City doing signing an injured/unfit player? ?


Many keep saying keep him for next season,he will score goals,I just can't believe fans would want to keep wasting so much money? ?





' WARNOCK AT TODAYS PRESS CONFERANCE '

Neil Warnock:"Lambert does not feature in City's first team plans"

The problem is Lambert has another year on his contract at Cardiff City.

Rickie Lambert faces an uncertain future at Cardiff City after manager Neil Warnock said the striker does not currently feature in his first-team plans.

England international Lambert, 35, joined from West Brom in August but has only scored four goals.

A combination of injuries and indifferent form mean the 35-year-old has not played since 11 February.

"He's fully fit but it's not a matter of him being fit now.," Warnock said.

"Is he better than the others on the squad at the moment? I've felt not."

"He is training but at the moment I don't think he's happy with his fitness. He's going to be training hard and trying to get back in the squad."

Lambert signed a two-year deal when he joined on transfer deadline day in August, but Warnock hinted he could be ready to sell players who are under contract at the end of the season.

Rickie Lambert's Cardiff City future looks bleak as Neil Warnock reveals why he's not picking him


By Ian Mitchelmore


Friday 7th April 2017

Neil Warnock has revealed striker Rickie Lambert is fully fit but he has not been good enough to warrant a regular place in his Cardiff City squad.

The former England international has struggled with a back problem, featuring only three times since the turn of the year.

But the Yorkshireman has revealed that the ex-Liverpool forward is now fully fit, but hasn't been playing as Warnock does not feel he is currently worth a place in the starting team.

"He is training but at the moment I don't think he's happy with his fitness," said Warnock.


"He's going to be training hard and trying to get back into the squad really.

"He's fully fit so it's not a matter of him not being fit now.

"He does not feature in City's first team plans"

"It's just a case of, is he better than some of the others in the squad now, and I've felt not."

Asked about the future of his squad in general, he added: "I’m more or less 90% sure of what I want to do but that’s easier said than done when people are under contract."

Lambert now faces an uncertain future at the club, with Warnock turning to in-form striker Kenneth Zohore to lead the line.

Gutted that lambert hasnt worked out hes got the skill but sadly think hes a sick note

"It's just a case of, is he better than some of the others in the squad now, and I've felt not."

Interesting.

So it would seem that although he's now fit he doesn't fit into Warnock's plans and I can't see that changing next season.

So Lambert needs to decide what he wants to do.

If he wants to continue playing he's going to have to look for another club, possibly in League 1 and take a massive drop in wages.

Or he can hang around our club like a bad smell whilst trousering an eye watering amount of cash each week.

I don't blame him for the situation at all - the money men at our club who agreed to such a scandalous waste of money offering a two year deal to an injury prone player who virtually hadn't kicked a ball for two seasons have a lot to answer for.

100% agree with you David, Once again the people at the top have made another very costly mistake for our club.

No one will want Lambert on his wages,only people who are clueless about football would sign him.
So unless we pay him off or pay half his wages and loan him out,thats the best I can see happening.

So City after all the previous costly mistakes in the last 7 years,cost us about another £2.5mill, total madness.

Annis,

Certainly not the first expensive mistake made BUT let's hope it's now becoming a thing of the past.

Lessons MUST be learnt if we are to move forward.

Perhaps some money could be saved by making those who decided to give Lambert his lottery win pay for it from their own salaries!

Annis, I'm sure this was a trollope signing only, we had no strikers at the club (zahore was then a non starter) and we were running out of time in the transfer window, trollope panicked and got lambert because of their connection years ago at bristol rovers.

David, Not the first,been dozens and dozens over the years.
A good idea

I think this is excellent man management by Warnock;

i) he is increasing the confidence in his existing players

ii) he is making sure Lambert works for his place and hence puts more pressure on him to train harder

What is benefit of playing Lambert now? improve his fitness and he could be a huge asset come August.

Ideally we will be able to offload him, might not be as easy as that though.

We aren't the first and wont be the last club to take a risk on an older player on big wages that doesn't work out. I think the signing was a mixture of having the wrong manager and panicking. Still think he could get us goals given the chance however he certainly isn't worth the wages on current showing.

Annis, I'm sure this was a trollope signing only, we had no strikers at the club (zahore was then a non starter) and we were running out of time in the transfer window, trollope panicked and got lambert because of their connection years ago at bristol rovers.

You cant blame the committee for backing the new manager with what was probably his number 1 target. The transfer committee should be about getting the players we can afford for the manager in place in my opinion. The mistake was the appointment of Trollope. Once he was in charge they had to let him bring in some of his players.

But thanks to a useless manager they had,waste of space.
Thanks to Warnock we now have two excellent players


Bamba and Hoilett as you know and continue to ignore were always going to be Warnocks signings and they already stated they were going to go to Forest if Warnock had got the job their.
100% Warnocks signings and you know that

One day Wez,you will be honest and admit what a mess Tan and our committee got us in to.

Please Please No more Tan/Committee signings



THANKFULLY WE ARE ON THE RIGHT DIRECTION NOW

Its not just Tan thought is it

Under Ridsdale we wasted plenty of money on players like JFH and Fowler

Under Sam we bought got knows how many players over value and reported to be paying Peter Thorn 10k a goal.

Im not blaming any of them either, its just football, show me a club that has never spent or waste money on a player and id be amazed.

What a waste of pfaffing money

Luke at some stage they've all done it.

But under Tan its taken more than 7 years of costly mistakes,where he has blamed everyone and of course one step further the Despicable Rebrand.

Tan, 8 Managers and 6 CEO's later unbelievable.

I know im not debating the owner more the the fact Lambert singing happens in football.

Its not really 8 managers is it or are you counting interim managers? if you are then that's not so bad. The choice of managers have been pretty poor though but again that happens at clubs.

going forward though we have a good manager and hopefully a transfer committee who will give Warnock what we can afford

Saints legend Rickie Lambert finding life tough at Cardiff

Daily Echo

Friday 7th April 2017

SAINTS legend Rickie Lambert is facing an uncertain future at Cardiff City.

Lambert has only featured in three games since the turn of the year, and none at all since February 11.

Today Cardiff boss Neil Warnock revealed Lambert is fully fit but he has not been good enough to warrant a regular place in his squad.

The former England international has struggled with a back problem, and Warnock said: "He is training but at the moment I don't think he's happy with his fitness.

"He's going to be training hard and trying to get back into the squad really.

"He's fully fit so it's not a matter of him not being fit now.

"It's just a case of, is he better than some of the others in the squad now, and I've felt not."

Lambert earned legendary status at St Mary's after plundering 106 league goals in 208 appearances for Saints between August 2009 and May 2014.

But since joining boyhood idols Liverpool for £4m, his career has stagnated.

Now 35, Lambert has only scored seven league goals since leaving Saints - two for Liverpool in 2014/15, one for West Brom in 2015/16 and four for Cardiff this term - in 25 starts plus 36 sub appearances.

The transfer committee should be about getting the players we can afford for the manager in place in my opinion. The mistake was the appointment of Trollope. Once he was in charge they had to let him bring in some of his players.

I agree. The mistake was the appointment of Trollope as manager who was out of his depth. PT obviously had a connection with Lambert from their time at Bristol Rovers and Trollope used that to bring him in as his main striker.

Admittedly the signing was a gamble but if the committee had not backed the manager then they would have been slaughtered for having a lack of ambition.

The irony of all this is PT was given the managers job as the 'cheap' option but the Lambert signing blew that theory out of the water.

Wez, Tan has also received £200,000 from Sky money,gate money,Parachute payments,sponsorships, what the hell has he done with it all? ? ? ?

Put simply Annis Tan has used the money to run the football club. Even after all those payments from Sky etc. he has still had to dip into his own pocket to keep us afloat, including £15m to settle Langston debts and more millions to pay off the mess Ridsdale left behind.

You muddy the waters well but when all the smoke and mirrors are taken away the club accounts prove beyond doubt that VT has put 10's of millions of pounds into this club. He certainly hasn't taken money out which was the standard practise before he arrived (e.g. Riddler/PMG)

Tan is guilty of a stupid mistake with the rebrand he is also guilty of wasting millions of pounds on bad deals. However, he has taken full responsibility for that and will have fully paid the tab when we become debt free.

I think he has the best interests of the club at heart and when you compare him to say Coventry's owners then we should be thankful if a little annoyed that things could have been oh so much better.
