Tastycles' Lambert to Liverpool explanations:
a) Liverpool are basically doing what Monaco did with Moutinho. Basically they are paying over the odds for Lambert so they can get Lallana cheaper so Southampton have to give less sell on to Bournemouth.
b) He's bought him for the Champions League. Shola Ameobi's scoring record is like 1 in 10 in England, but 1 in 3 in Europe. Kevin Davies was man of the match against Bayern away. Heskey has scored a hat trick in the Champions League and Crouchy took Liverpool to the final. The best teams in Europe still haven't worked out how to deal with the big unit route one striker, because at no point in youth development in Spain is there a fat old bloke shouting "GET RID OF IT!!!" at the centre backs before they boot it up the pitch.
