Lambert hailed by former Saint
9:18am Thursday 31st December 2009
FORMER Saints striker Gordon Watson has hailed Rickie Lambert as “the kingpin” of Alan Pardew’s play-off hopefuls.
Watson admits that the £1m striker has improved enormously from the player he was at Bristol Rovers last season – when he belted 29 League One goals.
In particular, the player’s fitness – which has kept him in the lower divisions for his whole professional career – has dramatically got better.
In his role as a scout for Nigel Pearson’s Leicester, Watson was a regular watcher of Lambert during 2008/09.
“I said before the season had even started that Saints should be looking to sign Rickie Lambert,” said Watson, himself a £1m Saints forward back in the mid 1990s.

Difference is that Rickie can actually score goals, Watson can't remember a single goal ? A snip at 1M he will take us up to the next level. We could be playing pompey next season !!

Happy New Decade everyone! The future's looking bright... 2010 is red-and-white.
