Hasn't he had attitude problems in the past? If so, unless he's matured I doubt Lampard will be too interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angieram Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 2 hours ago, Ambitious said: Notoriously bad trainer, despite having huge ability. The exact type of player I imagine would leave Lampard ripping his hair out. I'd also argue that those who would start the sentence 'if anyone could get him to work hard, Lampard...' remember he was afforded the opportunity of a lifetime at United to work under SAF, but still couldn't bring himself to get his head down. He's done well this season, but has still found it difficult to play consistent and get a start for Wigan week-in, week-out. I'd like him here, but would not at all be surprised if this was a signing that, if made, failed to live up to expectation. Who are you? Bielsa?

Can't see us going for big fee, high profile players. He's out of contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inglorius Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Am very happy if we confine our signings to free transfers. Our record in the transfer market has been at best poor at worst abysmal. Can we start a thread on signing a new recruitment team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live like a king for three seasons, and a guaranteed crack at silverware every year. Saying that, with him being an attacking midfielder, we have an ace in the hole with The Frank Effect... Can't see him dropping all the way down to that level.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always held that if you can maintain a 50/50 good to bad signings ratio you've done okay as a manager - There aren't that many who do better - It's just unfortunate when the ones that cost you the most money turn out to be in your 'bad' 50% I actually think we might be better than 50/50 over the last few years too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marriott was nailed on, but now? Waghorn has had one good game and bits in some, but was a snip at £5m. Holmes? Evans? Malone? easy to say no as yes for them. Loans have been the best of the lot but bottom line is they do better for their own ambitions than ours, unless we get promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
