West Brom moved quick and so has Lambert. Signed him today and he's scored on his debut against Bristol Rovers tonight...
Shame really that it didn't work out for him as he is a good, honest pro with heaps of talent. At least he achieved his genuine dream of playing for his boyhood club.

Rovers must be gutted... he used to play for them
Was a legend at Rovers. Scored 59 goals in 139 games + 16 subs over three seasons.
Now added a second, WBA lead 3-0.

Really sorry that it did not work out for Lambert. Maybe the pressure playing for us may help at his new club.
I would like to see him do well.
Me too. Maybe that pressure of wearing a red shirt affected him. He never looked much good at all whenever he played; even in preseason. And yet most of us recognise he has talent. Hopefully he will have an off day when we play West Brom. I would like to see him do well.

BR didn't give Lambert or Borini a fair run.
Totally agree. Feel sorry for both but I know I will get slaughtered here but I really want Mario to stay. I think he will step up to the plate this season plus we are not exactly overloaded with quality strikers and he is quality.Edited by Stinkfoot on Friday 31st July 21:47

I'd love it if he did. But indications are he won't. Seems like BR doesn't rate him - perhaps a poor training attitude? And he's rarely looked bothered when he has been in the team, so I think BR is calling this one right.Edited by Stinkfoot on Friday 31st July 21:47

I think the general consensus is that he doesn't really try much in training and can be quite disruptive.
Shame, apart from that I wouldn't mind him staying either.
How he performs in training would be the least of my worries. Lots of great strikers have been notoriously bad trainers. Shame, apart from that I wouldn't mind him staying either.
His performances on the pitch always concerned me. If you want to stroll around then you better make sure you are invaluable with goals/assists. He's not a fit for the managers style and BR clearly doesn't want him so it's a waste of wages. I'd give him away for free if someone would take him - if we get some sort of fee then even better.

I like Lambert & was hoping he'd be a Spurs player next season but i suppose signing him would go against all the current thinking at Spurs.Shame really that it didn't work out for him as he is a good, honest pro with heaps of talent.

I don't think he had much of a go at Liverpool but as you say to play for the club you loved must be a great feeling.
I really hope he does well at West Brom, he's a good pro.

Stuff like leaving a player behind to train with the reserves etc is just silly unless it is a fitness issue. I remember when Real Madrid did it with McManaman at the start of at least one season and then he went on to help them win a European Cup.
I'd keep Mario until at least Xmas. He is proven at a higher level than Ings or Origi and we have no idea when or how long it'll take Sturridge to get back to form. If Benteke needs support, he's the only striker I'd play next to him in a 4312. Just look at our first 10 games.
If we want to make a judgement on individual players not being good enough from last season then much more than Mario need to be sold.
