I can believe the Fonte bit perhaps (that a bid might be made, not that he's necessarily going) but can't for the life of me see what Lambert would offer Newcastle. He would only be an understudy for Carroll and I wouldn't have thought they would be too keen on spending a couple of million on a player frm the third tier in his late 20s to just sit on the bench. If he was 21,22,23 then maybe but they'd be better off concentrating on developing Ranger etc than signing Lambert. Also, I thought it was stated a few weeks ago that Newcastle had decided not to spend any money in January?
