As Liverpool prepare for the transfer season that is fast approaching, the one thing that is crossing their mind is the upcoming Champions League that they are to play. They must make a team capable of competing in the Champions League and have the requisite squad depth. It is natural that Liverpool would have to face certain amounts of problems for competing in the Champions League after such a long period of time and they would not like to aggravate their troubles further by having a wafer thin squad. Although they have the most potent attack in the Premier League, they have already made arrangements for having a back up in the form of Rickie Lambert and this deal should Liverpool better than none. Here we take a look as to why Rickie Lambert is a perfect fit at Liverpool.
1. The bargain price
Rickie Lambert is a declared Liverpool fan for life and £4 million for a player like him is certainly a bargain price. Liverpool have other areas in their squad to strengthen. A left back, a defensive midfielder and a playmaker are the need of the hour and thus a substantial amount of money would be spent on them. Liverpool already have players like Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge in their attack and a player like Lambert would just be the additional factor in the squad to cope up with the fixture pressure. Spending anything more on another striker could prove to be costly for Liverpool and a player with higher transfer fee would ask for regular gametime. Lambert would be ready to sit on the bench and wait for the opportunity. In this regard he is the perfect man for Liverpool to get.
