BARCELONASAINT Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Brilliant news, feels like a new signing and has made my weekend. Thxs Jordan for the facebook alert.
rooney Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 What news to wake up to as I get my early dose of Saints. Fantastic and well done to Nicola, Nigel and Adam.
The Majestic Channon Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 I got up, first thing i did was start the pc go to the echo site and read this, shouted **** ME YES!! and woke the whole house. This is fantastic news .
thorpie the sinner Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Best signing of the window. FACT! totally agree, it feels like we have signed a £4 million player!!!
david in sweden Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Premiership here we come. Get in. Lallana = The MLT of the 21st Century. Probably. I'd like to think so , especially if he's still here when this contract runs out.
david in sweden Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2261409,00.html GET IN, yessssss ....and on a day when we sealed a 3-1 win over the Aussies ...IN Australia - it's double celebration!!.
thorpie the sinner Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Awesome news. Think it calls for a WOOT! WOOOOOOOOTTT!! This is the one signing for me that shows we are united and going way in the right direction!! Hopefully, Nicola's behind the scenes negotiations show his heart is red and white!!!
georgeweahscousin Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Brilliant, brilliant news. Of course it doesn't guarantee we can keep him, but gives us much better security if he wants to go. The future is very bright.
patred44 Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Bet that's upset some at Bo'mouth.. they were hoping for a cut! Sends a message to all clubs that were no longer going to have our youngsters plundered, unless we want to.
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 I woke up this morning thinking bout time he signed, came on here and saw he had. This is good news indeed! A couple of good signings and even I will start to dream
Toomer Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Just the sort of news to give everyone a lift before todays game also sends out a message to other clubs that we do not intend to sell our best young players (Oxo take note) also any potential signings that we are looking at will see this as a sign of intent.
musesaint Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Adam Lallana Living Deity.....Fact! The new Le Tiss??? .....How long has it been since we had a player of his class who turned down other offers because he WANTED to stay at the club???? My first spontaneous jizz of 2011
SO16_Saint Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Fan-bl**dy-tastic Captain material in the making too i reckon from how NA was talking. Shows real intent from the chairman and will possibly help attract our transfer targets better. Now let's have a good win today.
farawaysaint Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 In the past I would worry that this big name signing might be to distract us from Oxo leaving, hope that the new management doesn't operate like that Lallana signing is of course fantastic news, viva Lallana!
JustMike Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 brilliant news! A big statement of intent. Well done NC and NA
altoniansaints Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Excellent news this morning now lets keep hold of oxo and i`ll be a happy bunny
Gingeletiss Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Whilst I agree with the masses on here, I am perplexed as to why this is announced, but the Guly gift, has yet to be confirmed. Before any wise guy posts 'because he hasn't signed' then dohhhhh!!!
Vershinin Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 ****ing brilliant ****ing news. Get in!!! We can really push on from here now. ****ing get in. COYR
JustMike Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Whilst I agree with the masses on here, I am perplexed as to why this is announced, but the Guly gift, has yet to be confirmed. Before any wise guy posts 'because he hasn't signed' then dohhhhh!!! what gift?
dune Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 It's really good to see some loyalty in this day and age, and a big thankyou to Nicola Cortese.
trousers Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Whilst I agree with the masses on here, I am perplexed as to why this is announced To act as bait for transfer targets, e.g. Austin. It's a statement of intent.
shurlock Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 (edited) Wonder if there is some kind of break clause if we dont get promoted this season? Edited 8 January, 2011 by shurlock
rick1976.4.38 Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 ^ ://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVtVyxLoo60 trousers this link is from dagenham game
corky morris Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 That's great news before my 3 hour drive down today!!!!!
Viking Saint Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 fantastic news, and a real statement of intent....agree that it's the best signing we could've made!!! Happy Days!!
Saint Charlie Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Hopefully a standing ovation for him today.
Frank's cousin Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Great news. Adam is a great example to young players...lets hope Oxo can learn from it - see according to the Times this morning Saints have told Arsenal he will cost 10 mil....
beatlesaint Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 What a wonderful story to wake up to ! Superb news.
alpine_saint Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Really excellent news. Well done Adam, and well done to NA and especially NC for making this happen. So much for that ITK b*ll*cks on here that he was going to reject the offer.
Tamesaint Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Finally, we have a wise scouting network, up & coming manager & a chairman that realises the steps for success & owners supporting our dream. Not rocket science but when absolute imbeciles steer your ship, we've seen what can happen. Thank Markus he rid us of that cherry cheeked tosser! Couldn't agree more. Lowe gave a 5 year contract to Tommy Forecast . NC gives 4 and a half years to La God. Says it all really!!
ottery st mary Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 About to set off for the game and thought a quick look on the forum... Great news..excellent start to the day... Well done Saints and well done Adam.. Saints to win 4-2 and our star to get at least one or maybe a bonus of two great goals.. COYS WIFM
OldNick Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Couldn't agree more. Lowe gave a 5 year contract to Tommy Forecast . NC gives 4 and a half years to La God. Says it all really!! of course it could be a clever business move. All of a sudden a player who could walk for nothing in the summer will have to be prized away for big bucks if anyone wants him. The club win both ways, we get a good player who can settle and if we get a fantastic offer there is a good payday.
Um Bongo Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 4 & 1/2 years??? Blimey, fair play to the lad. I'm sure there will be some clauses in there, but nice to see someone commit.
qwertySFC Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Excellent news and a very powerful statement of intent by the club . I think NC has once again shown how professional the club is in conducting business.
krissyboy31 Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 This is magnificent news. I did fear we could lose Adam because of the amount of clubs sniffing around. At least now with a 4 1/2 year contract, anybody wanting to buy him (if the rest of the 5 year plan goes pear-shaped) will have to pay top dollar for him.
scott_saints Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Has anyone pointed out that this is a statement of intent yet?
Weston Saint Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 I have repeatedly said on here that Lallana wanted to play for Saints and was not worried about the lack of a contract offer. He knew the right offer wold be made and so it has. Never worried about the so called ITK's saying otherwise. That is not what the family were saying to me. Adam has a good agent who is looking after him the right way and has a fantastic family who he listens to. Now very important that we get promotion so that Adam can demonstrate his talent on a higher stage.
Cabrone Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 That's the best signing so far and hopefully will pursuade other players (AoC) to stay put. Shows that we are serious about moving onwards and upwards. Well done to all involved.
Badger Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Tremendous news,and a great 'statement', the prospect of AL leaving in the next four weeks would have left us motally and psycologically wounded for the promotion surge ahead. Great news! I love watching Adam turn oppostion players inside out on the pitch (having said that my 9 year olds opinion of him has changed when he read that Adam prefers to read a book than play fifa11:lol:) My feelings of joy are only slightly tempered by the fact that a contract doesn't mean he won't leave if the right offer comes in. At least now anyone who wants him will have to part with a lot of money. That of course is true,but is likely to be influenced by our own progress and as you say we should (depending on the clause in his contract) be able to negotiate for a better fee. Also, like the fact its another 11.26PM exclusive on the Saints site.
Badger Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Has anyone pointed out that this is a statement of intent yet? Or are they intending to make another statement ?
musesaint Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Has anyone pointed out that this is a statement of intent yet? I thought the contract was signed at the stadium ..not in a tent
