No Fixed AbodeSanguineNo Fixed Abode Ricky Lambert decides to stay at Liverpool.
Bad move imo. They've ruined him.
Like Balotelli, it was a pretty nonsensical signing, since he doesn't fit their style of play.
Still, if I was 32, had more money than I could ever spend and had been signed a few months ago by the club I supported, I'd probably stick around too.
That depends how driven you are to succeed. I'd be very surprised if Lambert were included in the next England squad, with the lack of game time and the emergence of Harry Kane and Charlie Austin.
It may have been a dream of his to move to his boyhood club, but with the poor form of Balotelli, injury to Sturrdige, he must be pretty annoyed at the amount of minutes he's had on the pitch this season.
Dont think you can say doing x means you are driven whereas doing y means you are not. Life just isn't as simple as that.
He could easily see going somewhere like Villa as not much of a challenge where as staying at a club who aim to stretch themselves by qualifying for the CL where he is not currently a starter as much more of a challenge and he is so driven he wants to stay and prove himself.
life is rarely so black & white, Kes
