That can't be right, they've made their final bid. They'll be moving onto other targets now.

I didn't even recognise it as being him at first. And I still don't.

Ahahahahahah.. That is cruel but it did make me laugh. I'm pretty sure there was just a massive misunderstanding at Liverpool. After beating City Brendan Rodgers said "I'm really pleased with the way they've played today, if only there was a way we could bottle it.."

Pahaars?

One word: Legend. If you take him off the banner I'm cancelling my subscription.

Still a hero, still a saints legend. Will miss you Rickie!

Probably Lallana's agent, because he wants a slice of that transfer pie.

Saint J 77: Maybe the players are in the dark because the board don't know who they will sell before they appoint the new manager? Why do they players have to know exactly what's going to happen right now this instant or they will pop? It's the start of the summer and until we know who is going to be in charge next season, maybe they could all just have a bit of patience and go on holiday / to the world cup? I personally want the board to hang onto all the players that the next manager / coach might want to keep. I don't believe it is asset stripping or Lallana would be a Liverpool player now.

I'm with the board on this one. There's no reason why they have to be waiting by the phone for Lallana's call when it's the weekend. He wants his 'future' sorted by the world cup (but presumably that's code for 'move') but the board have made their position clear (Liverpool have to stump up £30m) and if that doesn't change then there's no reason for contact to take place. Go to the world cup and do your best Adam, you might only get one chance at it.

Sweet! Thought I had to work tomorrow, really happy to have another day off

Thanks for the summary. Maybe we can stall long enough for us to sign a new head coach who can bring the players back into the fold.

Adam Blackmore has tweeted this link, saying it's an update on Lallana saga. I can't actually read it because it's behind a paywall. thetim.es/1n1e8Ec

Who are the pompey fans calling Judas, Redknapp? I thought they all loved him because he went back there?

Indeed, if the situation remains the same and we get a really good manager in, it could turn into a decent transfer window.

I'm so glad he didn't go to WH. Liverpool I can just about come to terms with because he's from there and grew up supporting them.

So after reading everything I could find on here and twitter, I still don't know what the situation is with Lallana. Have we rejected all bids for him?

It's not a public company anymore. Doesn't have to release any financial data.

Thanks for the info.

Guess or ITK?

From 27 - 32 years old. Played for us at his peak.

If you can't find a SWF meltdown, you're looking in the wrong place. #itshappening

I wasn't at the time, but now I blame him for the current media ****storm surrounding saints. I don't want people like that at the club.

Sour Mash: good theory! I'm going to assume that's it.
