He's going to do great for us. Welcome home Rickie!

Great transfer and an even better story. Hope he has a succesful two years here, then takes on some sort of coaching role if he has the right skills for it. Seems like he'd be a great fella to have around the place.

This is a great story for youngsters. I hope he does well for us to make it a real-life fairytale.
Now, for a song?

If he scores the winner in a cup final, it's a Hollywood film in the making!!

Open letter to Southampton fans:

What can I say…?

Southampton has been my life for the past five years, in which we have achieved all of our dreams and more.

First I have to thank Markus Liebherr for saving Southampton then Alan Pardew for bringing me to the club.

Thank you to all the staff involved in making me the player I am today. Without your knowledge and commitment I would not be here right now at a World Cup with England.

Thank you to all the players, past and present, who I have had nothing but good times and success with driven by our club captain, Kelvin Davis. I love every last one of you.

Thank you to the managers I have worked with – Alan, Nigel and Mauricio – and their teams for helping me and Southampton step up and adapt to every challenge that has come our way the past five years.

When I grew up there was only one club I loved. I can honestly say now I have two clubs which will always be in my heart and that is thanks to the Saints fans.

The people who support this club have been nothing short of amazing towards me and, when I look back in years to come, it will be the relationship I had with the fans here which will stand out the most.

Southampton have allowed me to realise a lifelong ambition by joining Liverpool FC and taking my family home. The five-year plan when I arrived was to get this club from League 1 to the top half of the Premier League. Against all the odds we have achieved that.

Now, under Katharina Liebherr’s leadership, the club has the chance for new plan, a new chapter, and I wish them all the success in the world.

Rickie Lambert

Lovely story, good player, astute signing.

Welcome back .

Nothing to add to that.

Cracking Left Foot · « **Reply #50 on:** June 2, 2014, 11:25:24 am »

Chuffed to bits for him, even the customary creepy examination with Dr Zaf can't stop him grinning!

Think he's going to surprise a lot of people. Welcome back Rickie.

Do we make our players get changed in a shed? oooooooo that's not nice

theredguy03 · « **Reply #52 on:** June 2, 2014, 11:26:17 am »

One of my favourite players at my favourite club. Here's to a successful career at Anfield

LFC Boy · « **Reply #53 on:** June 2, 2014, 11:26:40 am »

One of the pictures hint that he'll get #30.

"21C or 70F?" SchizoidWeatherMan! · « **Reply #54 on:** June 2, 2014, 11:26:47 am »

Very very underrated player. He is not a typical english no 9. He can pass the ball very well and bring others into play. He is what we wanted Carroll to be.

With European football, he will surely get 25 odd games this season.

Welcome back Rickie! Wasn't he pictured getting on the plane with England yesterday?

The pictures were taken before that.

He's the second IMO.

This is the first signing of the summer.

IAmZlatan · « **Reply #57 on:** June 2, 2014, 11:30:53 am »

Genuinely delighted for Rickie. Great to hear that the story about his Liverbird tattoo his true!

chromeo · « **Reply #58 on:** June 2, 2014, 11:31:41 am »

Made me a little emotional this.

"Dream come true" is often used as hyperbole but in this case it describes perfectly what's happened to Lambert.

Clayton Bigsby · « **Reply #59 on:** June 2, 2014, 11:31:50 am »

13 goals and 10 assists inthe premier league is not to be sniffed at

Think he will do very well for us

If he scores a goal to win us the league or a cup there is a film to be made here.

timiano · « **Reply #60 on:** June 2, 2014, 11:31:55 am »

Great piece of business. That's the forward line-up sorted now, and I think it's wonderfully balanced. Suarez, Sturridge, Lambert, Borini...nice.

Made up for him, hope he's got some important goals in him, would love to see him get a big goal against Everton or United

Redshadow · « **Reply #63 on:** June 2, 2014, 11:34:30 am »

Happy for the Lad. Can't help but thinking that he'll be better under BR. Looking forward to seeing him score for LFC.

Yeah, nice touch that.

Feel a bit bad that their club will be essentially starting again. Great of them to be so swift in this case.

BarryCrocker · « **Reply #66 on:** June 2, 2014, 11:36:01 am »

He looks as happy as a pig in shit in those photos. Welcome back to the club Rickie.

Here's to donning the jersey at senior level being the realisation of only the 1st of your many dreams and goals at the club.

YNWA.

Good luck and welcome Rickie! Have a feeling he'll score some important goals for us, I hate the transfer window, just want the new season to start!

Fucks sake.

King_doggerel · « **Reply #70 on:** June 2, 2014, 11:39:35 am »

I assume he will be replacement for Aspas. We still need another winger/forward - someone like Pedro from Barcelona.

Welcome lad.

BarryCrocker · « **Reply #71 on:** June 2, 2014, 11:41:26 am »

In an open letter, published on the club's website, Lambert took the opportunity to thank the fans.

It read: "What can I say? Southampton has been my life for the past five years, in which we have achieved all of our dreams and more," he wrote.

"First I have to thank Markus Liebherr for saving Southampton then Alan Pardew for bringing me to the club.

"Thank you to all the staff involved in making me the player I am today: without your knowledge and commitment I would not be here right now at a World Cup with England.

"Thank you to all the players, past and present, who I have had nothing but good times and success with driven by our club captain, Kelvin Davis. I love every last one of you.

If there ever was a quote from a new signing.

"I can't believe it. I've loved this club all my life. I left here 17 years ago and I haven't stopped loving it since."

On my lunch break at school...
good signing, very good signing, hes 32 but hes naturally fit and i wouldnt be suprised to still be with us when hes 36

Haggis36 · « **Reply #74 on:** June 2, 2014, 11:46:49 am »

Hilarious watching him getting his tour round Melwood and getting bits of his medical done. The lad is absolutely cheesin' throughout.

Never seen a signing beaming quite as much as this

His enthusiasm is going to be infectious for everyone next year

Fairy tale stuff, and now he hops on a plane to Miami. Hard to imagine life could get much better for him.
