Well for one, the transfer window has been open for weeks. For two, you don't have to take this personally. It's just the move that he feels is best for him right now. Good luck to him.

I'd be more gutted about losing spiderman than any of the other players we have.

How long is left on his contract? I'm worried he'll leave for nothing at the end of the season.

Why aren't they pointed at the pitch? F'in disgrace.

Question is: will he still play Rooney?

No. There are at least two of us.

That picture doesn't look like him. The one of Lallana didn't look like Lallana. It's just a load of made up sh1te.

I don't think that suits Shaw either - if he wants to play in the Champion's League, why would he sign there and come back on loan?

Nice. I think Reed and the team have played a blinder here, really looking forward to next season now. I think any players leaving for bigger clubs might be looking back from their comfy bench and wondering what might have been.

Good on you for having the courage to say this.

I don't think it matters too much what happens with Lallana/Shaw/Lovren. If he gets the team playing well and winning more games than we lose, he'll be popular.

What was it before?

NO.

Yes.

Is it though? Lallana signing some kid's shirt is like the bizarre situation that you describe? I honestly can't think of any way at all in which those two circumstances are alike.

Yeah, sadly that is not going to happen. Would be awesome.

Of course, if Liverpool don't get near the valuation and he doesn't end up moving there, poor kid has a shirt with the wrong signature on it.

I think it's probable that the spirit in the squad is good, amongst the people who want to be in there.

I'm not sure what he's supposed to do in this situation though. That kid has queued up to get his autograph, is he supposed to refuse?

I think the disappointment is so deep because it always seemed like he was a saints fan too, who wouldn't make all the want-away noises currently attributed to him. Thin line between love and hate. I don't know if it's warranted, but it explains why Kenwyne wouldn't get the same level of vitriol.

1. True, but the club have said they want this order: I. Recruit manager. II. Transfers. 2. No idea, probably Liverpool want it done quickly because they then know what other players they need.

No, until after the World Cup. His price might go up during the WC.

I'm pretty sure we'd have made top six without him holding us back last season

Says on the BBC article about Lallana that he's hoping Southampton will get a new manager soon so he can complete his move before the WC. Might it be in Southampton's interest not to disclose that they had recruited a new manager until late enough that it can't be completed?

Probably it's some people out who haven't made it into the 1st team much - Mayuka? Hooiveld? Oh and Osvaldo?
