There's a nice write up of Lallana in today's Guardian written by, of all people, Steve Claridge in his "Scouting Report" column. He is full of praise for young Adam having watched him in the recent QPR fixture. My only gripe with the piece is Claridge's miserly valuation of him....£1m. Hope Rupert doersn't take the Guardian:rolleyes:

What paper or magazine do you think he reads?

 

Farmer's Weekly? Hare and Hounds? Country Life? The Daily Mail?

in todays economic climate £1 m may be all we get offered?

 

Player prices don't seem to be influenced a lot by the credit crunch so far and 1 million doesn't come close to his value to the club as a player. Especially since he has more then 2.5 years left on his contract.

prob those & the torygraph

 

i'd be disappointed if he went for 1m, as claridge says its best for him to develop here.

 

we've a much better chance of staying up if we keep him in january

The worry has to be if we are really short of readies because of the small gates that we would accept £1m to keep the company a float.

 

At £20 a ticket income that is 50000 missing fans

Edit: a right, got you now.

 

Proof that you need to spend money to make money. You can't deliver a vastly inferior product for the same price in any business, and still expect to have the same number of customers.

 

I can't see why we'd need to sell to stay afloat in January. We must have one of the lowest wage bills in CCC and c15,000 is a healthy enough attendance in this league. Makes you wonder where the money's going (and don't say stadium and accademy)

Let's hope he listens to Stuart Pearce then:

I particularly like this sentence in Claridge's piece (apart from the missing preposition of course ;-))

 

"But for now he is in the right place at the right time because the way Southampton play, Lallana and Saints are a match made in heaven."

5000 over 10 home games, seems about right

Yeah, nice touch

 

People are very quick to slag off Claridge, but he is always complimentary of Saints when it's deserved
