Its clear you've never seen him play. I've got absolutely no idea why you'd compare him to LS?? His style tends to be likened to andy carroll but he's miles ahead. He's way more skillful with better positional awareness scoring something like 34 pens on the bounce and can strike a free kick. Plus he pisses all over crouch for heading ability.
Did you not see the chelsea game? Everyone knows how we'll play now and will simply look to line up 2 banks so we need an alternative with a more of a physical presence and a different threat.

I'm (potentially) really happy that br isn't going all blinkered with just a plan A. I love that he's looked at things and developed.

Bit touchy, are we? The reason for bringing LS into it is because there's no way you'll keep him once RM/PSG et al come knocking. Maybe this season, not next. Lambert was the penalty taker for Saints last season, yes, but you've already got Gerrard. Also, when I was last here his rumoured price was £9m, which has now gone down significantly.

Looking at things and developing? Have you signed a new central defence while I've been away?
