Liverpool fans in the Football Transfer Tavern are concerned about their attacking options after the The Mirror revealed that boyhood Reds fan Rickie Lambert has emerged as a loan target for Crystal Palace and Hull City.
Fellow relegation fighters West Bromwich Albion and QPR have joined the two struggling sides as they seek the 32-year-old’s services.
Brendan Rodgers has made no indication that the big striker is available but with his lack of first team football, punters expect that they could let him go.
It has been a real kick in the teeth for Lambert following his £4 million move from Southampton last summer as he has had to be content with a place on the bench whilst playing second fiddle to the out-of-form Mario Balotelli in spells.
His chances of featuring for the first team are looking slimmer after Daniel Sturridge returned from a long injury yesterday and managed to find the back of the net – a great boost to Reds fans everywhere.
Liverpool fans. Do you think that Rickie Lambert has a future at Anfield or should he look to go out on loan for the rest of the season? Let us know your thoughts below.
