Saints Mad Si Posted 4 December, 2012 Share Posted 4 December, 2012 Certainly a page filler, needs at least 12m+ to even think about it! Would Cortese do business with Pardew? I don't think so. We may have a few bids if we do go down though which I think may tempt the player........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 4 December, 2012 Share Posted 4 December, 2012 Hard to see Nicola Cortese doing business with Alan Pardew at any price, let alone at £5m for our 24 year captain and one of our star players that still has years left on his contract.

Turkish Posted 4 December, 2012 Share Posted 4 December, 2012 5 Million shows it is lazy journalism. Treble it in the current climate. What it does show is lazy readerism. It quite clearly says its a £5m starting bid so actually great journalism. Obviously we'd want way more than £5m so round of applause for the journalist for getting it spot on that it's a starting bid and correctly reporting that Lallana has been one of our better performers and Pardew is a long term admirer. Brilliant journalism and I applaud his knowledge, sensible and realist reporting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appy Posted 4 December, 2012 Share Posted 4 December, 2012 Why do you think Lallana is worth £6m more than Matt Jarvis? We currently play in the Premier League. He has a considerable amount of time left on his contract. He is our captain. Lazy from you though to be fair, I didn't say I thought he was worth 15 million, I just think in the current climate and with our chairman's hard bargaining we wouldn't sell for less than 15 million.

Matthew Le God Posted 4 December, 2012 Share Posted 4 December, 2012 Treble it in the current climate. Why do you think Lallana is worth £6m more than Matt Jarvis? £15m isn't £6m more than £10.75m. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19342136 Plus, Jarvis is 2 years older, not on as long a contract, not the team captain, was at a Championship club and imo not as good.

The Kraken Posted 4 December, 2012 Share Posted 4 December, 2012 Why do you think Lallana is worth £6m more than Matt Jarvis? Well, Matt Jarvis is a mere left winger. Adam Lallana, on the other hand, plays on the left AND he plays on the right. Also, his general play puts the overall performances of Argentinian maestro Lionel Messi in the shade. Given all that; £5M? £55M wouldn't be enough FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect in this case, if rumour is true, What Newcastle woul be willing to pay will fall way short of what saints would be willing to sell him for.... which is all that matters really. As to whether NC would do business with 'Pards', answer is probably yes if the price was right from Saints perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh dear Mr Wrong indeed, but not MLG. "So as Jarvis is two years old that makes him in his prime, so worth more" This is in no way a FACT and is completely wrong The younger the player the more potential he has, therefore if Jarvis is "in his prime" as you say then he's not going to get any better, whereas Lallana has potential to get better, and therefore his value would be higher. Jarivs has also had a catalogue of injuries whereas Lallana hasn't. "As for your WRONG comment about contracts Jarvis contract at Wolves expired in 2015" Jarvis's contract length at Wolves is irrelevant because he submitted a transfer request so Wolves pretty much had to sell him, instantly that decreases his value. "Jarvis has an England cap, Lallana doesnt," They have both been in one squad, Jarvis has 20 minutes of itnernational football nearly 2 years ago but hasn't been close to a squad since so Lallana is currently higher up the international pecking order, Francis Jeffers has an England cap does that make him worth more than Lallana? "he is proven in the premier league, Lallana isn't yet. 14 games is not a proven premier league player." He was still playing championship football when he was bought. Lallana: - doesn't want to leave - is playing for a premiership club, - is our captain so is highly valued by us, - has been attracted good reviews this year much more than Jarvis who has been injured - is closer to the England squad. - is younger and has more potential to improve. His market value is therefore at minimum the same if not more than Jarvis Maybe before you berate other people you should check your own facts first.

I love it how people get all nit picky whenever anyone dare say a player at another club might be worth more than one of their heroes. By your reakoning we got shafted on the AOC deal because at the age of 17 AOC has 9 years to reach the level Jarvis is at, so £12m for him was a disaster when Jarvis was worth £10.75m at the grand old age of 26 as AOC is much younger and has more potential to improve. Wasn't NC lauded as being a great businessman for getting £12m out of Arsenal? Sounds like we got done on the deal. I love it when people use the "But but but but, he's out captain" as proof of his worth. So was Dan Hammond, is he worth £15m?! Oh no that's right, he's on loan to a championship club! I'm also not quite sure what you mean by saying "he was still playing championship football when he was bought" He was signed in the summer after Wolves had been relegated and he'd has a couple of seasons and premier league football and an England cap under his belt.

Lol, Turkey boy, I thought you would come back with a stupid post, it's funny because you said that Lallana isn't a proven premiership player yet Jarvis is, then cite a 17 year old who had only played league 1 football So what is it do you need to be proven in the premiership or not proven in the premiership? You can't have both ways. Any player in the Championship will cost less, mainly because they will want to move to the premier league, especially if they have already been playing there. You really think Lallanas value wouldn't drop if we got relegated? I also see you clearly ignore the bits where your waffle has got found out, Jarvis's Engalnd cap was nearly two years ago, Lallana got called up two months ago, who do think is closer to getting an England cap in the future I wonder? or the fact that Jarvis had handed in a transfer request? no because those bits make you look like the idiot you are.

Ultimately though, the value of any commodity is determined by what somebody is prepared to pay for it. In the case of Lallana, if we don't wish to sell him and he doesn't want to leave us, then Newcastle would only get their man by paying a stupidly overinflated price for him, an offer we couldn't refuse.

His value to us is very high so it would take a silly offer for us to agree to sell him. Torres was never worth £50 million, but Liverpool had no reason to sell him and I don' think he particularly wanted to leave so the transfer fee was massively inflated to make the deal happen. same with Carroll, Henderson, Downing etc. Edited 5 December, 2012 by tajjuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players are worth what their respective clubs value them at and how much a club that wants them is willing to pay. Is Jarvis a better player than Lallana ? Its debatable, Jarvis has certainly been playing a higher level of football then him on a regular basis over the last 4 years or so. The age thing is a bit of a muchness too, in real life this doesnt matter so much, Adam isnt going to improve any more than jarvis is over the next 5 years, he is 24 and played regularly he wouldnt improve massively. He is our captain... Well that means f all reletively He was in the england squad... So has livermore The fact that a donkey like Carroll commanded a fee as high as he did proves you cannot really judge, Jarvis was as important to Wolves as adam is to us, their value will not be a lot more, jarvis has parts to his game that adam hasnt and visa versa. The only difference was he wanted to leave, who knows what might turn adams head. Edited 5 December, 2012 by Smirking_Saint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the bit in bold: I suspect it would only be a Saints relegation, or offer from a top club that would do so. I don't see Lallana as good enough for a top 4 or 5 club, so relegation is probably the biggest factor. Selling him in January wouldn't make much sense IMO, even for an inflated fee like £15M.

Window Cleaner Posted 5 December, 2012 Share Posted 5 December, 2012 Do you think if Ramirez plays well or we go down he will stay, investment buy to sell. was it not categorically stated on this very forum that he "loves it here and wouldn't mind staying even if we're in the NPC" :smug: Anyway those of you who have suffered my rantings for many years will know that I'm not Lallana's biggest fan, not good enough in front of goal for a top class attacking player.
