Saint Garrett Posted 11 April, 2013 Author Share Posted 11 April, 2013 (edited) http://t.co/wIhqxOrfez Team Captain Adam Lallana has become the latest Southampton player to commit his long-term future to the Club having this evening signed a new deal until 2018. Lallana has agreed a new five-year contract that will take him up to 12 years as a professional with the Club, having graduated from the Saints Academy in 2006. The midfielder joins a core of players to have penned new deals having progressed with Southampton in recent months. He follows suit from Kelvin Davis, Rickie Lambert, Morgan Schneiderlin and Jason Puncheon, who have also been rewarded for their efforts in re-establishing Saints in the top-flight of English football. In his first year in the Barclays Premier League, Adam – who turns 25 years of age in May – has enjoyed another successful campaign having been installed as Team Captain ahead of the season-opening game at Manchester City. He struck his third top-flight goal in last weekend’s win over Reading, which moved him onto a career total of 50 strikes for the Club in just over 200 first-team appearances. Lallana's new contract will therefore be music to the ears of Saints fans, who have enjoyed watching a home-grown player help the Club climb from League 1 to its current position of 11th in the Premier League. After penning his new deal, Adam spoke of his happiness at committing his long-term future to Southampton and looked ahead to what awaits the Club over the coming years. "I'm absolutely delighted," said Lallana. "To commit my future to the Club for the next five years is something I'm really happy about. "I can't wait to work with the new management team and the lads to continue our progress in the Premier League. It was an easy decision for me with the direction the Club is going in. "I've been at the Club since I was 12 and – being honest – I can only see my future lying with Southampton Football Club. "If someone was to say that I'd end my career playing for Southampton in the Premier League then I'd snap your hand off for it. "I am privileged and honoured to be given the opportunity to be here for the next five years. It's something I'm going to look to grab with both hands. "I'm honoured to be playing for Southampton and captaining the Club at the present moment, and I just hope the next five years don't go as quickly as the previous five! "I can't wait to get going and to continue playing for this club." Edited 11 April, 2013 by Saint Garrett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colinjb Posted 11 April, 2013 Share Posted 11 April, 2013 Boruc and Shaw please....maybe even Corky ? I echo Boruc, but an announcement about Shaw was made a while ago. He will sign in the summer, he already has a pre-contract agreement signed and I see no reason why he would currently want to leave and bench warm somewhere.

Chez Posted 11 April, 2013 Share Posted 11 April, 2013 Marcus buying thre club and Lambert signing apart, Lallana's five year deal back in League 1 was the major massive turning point in our rise through the leagues. Tremendous player, exactly the sort of player you want at the club. Us happy clappers have never had it so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockey_saint Posted 11 April, 2013 Share Posted 11 April, 2013 From that video is it fair to deduce that either Mauricio's English is coming on a treat or that Adam's Spanish is pretty good (I also heard he was from St. Helens and was nicked from the Bournemouth set-up, add on being an Everton fan, not so 100% saints but we'll take him anyhow ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His quotes are a little Le Tissier-esque though! I wonder if we'll hold him in the same regard when he retires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was Nicola Cortese, I would be throwing his party at the stadium.... all expenses paid, the day before the actually birthday itself...... with a signing ceremony at midnight!
