Most of us never get the chance to live out our dream. One man did, and his name is Rickie Lambert. Imagine the thrill he had to put on the red shirt, to wear the Liverbird upon his chest, to have Steven Gerrard hug him when he scored his first Liverpool goal. Rickie played hard for us, he tried his best, he never complained, he cheered on his teammates, and he represented us proudly.

Good luck to a true Red. YNWA Rickie.

Yeah, I echo your sentiments mate. Good luck big fella, lived the dream, scored in a red shirt, made a good life for himself and his family. He's a much better player than he showed here, and fitness permitting I can see him getting double figures for West Brom next year.

Echo this completely, great lad who will do well for west brom. That villa goal was one of the highlights of last season, and the celebration. He was proud as punch to represent the club and its a shame it didn't work out.

Good luck rickie!

Great lad, deserved a bit more time (especially in light of those 90th minute substitutions), still goals to flow from him yet. Let's see him stick it to Chelsea and United for us.

Doubt any real Liverpool fan has anything but affection for Rickie. Wish he'd had a few more glory moments for us. A winner against Utd or Everton or the like, to tell stories of into his old age, but I really hope he had a great season for West Brom and gets himself into the England squad for the Euros.

Good luck Rickie. He is a model professional, leave the club he love and support and join a club where he will play more. #Respect

PIPA23 · « **Reply #6 on:** August 1, 2015, 02:41:41 am »

I believe he would score than Balotelli if he played the same time as him...

good luck to him in WBA, except against us

YNWA Rickie!

Scored a brace on his pre season debut against Bristol Rovers. Good for him, true scouser.

Garry_LFC · « **Reply #9 on:** August 1, 2015, 03:05:33 am »

Total pro, glad he got his moment in the Villa away game he deserves to take something away from his time at the club. All the best.

Ziggy09 · « **Reply #10 on:** August 1, 2015, 03:08:00 am »

Sad to see him go, but for whatever reasons it wasn't working. But at least he got to live the dream for a season - more than most will. Good luck for the future!

True professional and always shown respect to the fans and club. Shame for him it didn't work out..but as stated he lived his boyhood dream. Wish him the best of luck at WBA, I predict he will do alot better over there.

Beninger · « **Reply #13 on:** August 1, 2015, 04:31:58 am »

Too bad he couldn't have done better. Looks like he's off to a good start at his new home. Best of luck...except against us!

WaterfordRed · « **Reply #14 on:** August 1, 2015, 04:39:20 am »

Good luck Rickie. Definitely double figures this season.

keyo · « **Reply #15 on:** August 1, 2015, 04:50:11 am »

Good move for him, decent business for us too. Good luck to him. Hope he does well, he has some goals left in him i reckon.

RaveDave · « **Reply #16 on:** August 1, 2015, 05:00:53 am »

He got to live the dream, best of luck to him with West Brom, but no goals against us please Rickie lad.

Garry_LFC · « **Reply #17 on:** August 1, 2015, 05:36:49 am »

Fair play to the lad as well just heard Tony Pulis say he's earning less money at West Brom too which is a measure of the man he is. He could easily have done a Borini, dug his heels in and pointed to his Liverpool contract and refuse to leave but he clearly just wants to play football.

Upinsmoke · « **Reply #18 on:** August 1, 2015, 06:40:30 am »

Good luck to him. Sorry it didn't work out for him.

Think he'll do well at WBA with a manager who will get the most out of him.

Fordy · « **Reply #19 on:** August 1, 2015, 07:17:06 am »

Good luck.

Thought he was given much of a chance but I am glad he got to live his dream.

I would of stayed for another year if I was Ricky though.

Love the lad - stupid signing.

I don't think it would've been if we hadn't of had so many problems with our other strikers.

He just want's to play football mate. Can't blame him for that. He got to live his dream anyway. Good luck to him. I wish him well at his new club, apart from when they play us.

Sums it up perfectly, nice man - but in no way what we needed

Really likable lad. Good luck!

Top fella. Shame it didn't work out. Came in as a bargain buy, made sense at the time. Two goals in 7 first team starts was no disgrace but it just wasn't to be.

Good luck to him, hope he gets back amongst the goals for his new club, apart form when they play us of course. Cheers Ricky lad.

Kicking off at Villa was unbelievable, bet he'll never forget that

He may have been instrumental in Lallana's signing, and had Balo not been bought would've gotten some of his minutes as Plan B. (see Benteke?)

Think that would have been soul destroying for him, he knew he was behind Sturridge, Beneteke, Ings and Origi. Much better to be playing regularly than train all week then sit in the stands watching.

Best of luck at West Brom Ricky.

Good luck to him at West Brom. Sounds like he had a dream debut.

cptrios · « **Reply #33 on:** August 1, 2015, 12:55:34 pm »

I'll never forget that huge grin he had on his face when someone tried to interview him at the airport before the signing was announced. Best of luck Rickie!

Les Willis · « **Reply #34 on:** August 1, 2015, 01:02:11 pm »

Great pro. Good bloke. Shame he didn't get more action for us, but I suppose it's all about styles and systems. He should do well under Tony Pulis.

surfer. Fuck you generator. · « **Reply #35 on:** August 1, 2015, 01:23:53 pm »

All the best.

For a professional footballer, this is one dream that was best off not happening. From a personal perspective, maybe he'll have some great memories to keep for life. We gained very little, don't put much of that on him, he's a backup striker, he did what he could, our attacking ideas last season weren't the best or most coherent.

SuperStevieNicol · « **Reply #36 on:** August 1, 2015, 01:24:18 pm »

Best of luck Ricky, standing ovation when he returns to Anfield please. I'd even be happy to see him net a consolation at the kop end to make it 4-1 :-)

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #37 on:** August 1, 2015, 01:25:27 pm »

Shame he never got to score at Anfield but I'm sure he'll manage it this season instead!

Alf · « **Reply #38 on:** August 1, 2015, 01:34:05 pm »

It was worth signing Rickie Lambert just for that let off at Villa Park last season.

Broad Spectrum · « **Reply #39 on:** August 1, 2015, 02:48:41 pm »

Shame really, actually quite disappointed Brendan let him go, I think he would have been useful as part of our Europa League and Domestic cup squads. Still think he was trying a bit too hard last season, but no doubt he'll smash it under Pulis this season. Probably get 5 assists from Berahino alone (if he stays with them of course).

Anyway good luck to him.
