Huffton Posted 19 April, 2014 Posted 19 April, 2014 'Alex Goring Crook @alex_crook 41m Always thought Lallana would stay but was told by an ex #saintsfc player today hes heard hes off to #mufc lets see how it plays out' Now given that he's a Utd fan I'm guessing this is just a bit of nawty fun, at least I hope it is...
S-Clarke Posted 19 April, 2014 Posted 19 April, 2014 It's Alex Crook, safe to ignore and file under ''rubbish''.
Toon Saint Posted 19 April, 2014 Posted 19 April, 2014 Sat next to Crook at Utd game at St. Mary's last year. He was fist pumping every time Utd scored before phoning in his updates for Talksport, so I wouldn't bank on his impartiality. Gets most things wrong and half of his 'exclusives' are taken directly from this board.
Bucks Saint Posted 19 April, 2014 Posted 19 April, 2014 Worst pile of b@llocks from this unreliabe Utd lover
Saint Charlie Posted 19 April, 2014 Posted 19 April, 2014 Was funny last summer when he had an article in the Star saying we had bid 15m for Nainggolan and then in the afternoon of that same day he tweeted to deny we had made a bid, contradicting his own "exclusive" article.
Saint Charlie Posted 19 April, 2014 Posted 19 April, 2014 Also worth remembering we owe Bournemouth 25% of any Lallana fee so it will have to be big if he were to move. £30m minimum.
Sour Mash Posted 19 April, 2014 Posted 19 April, 2014 Poor journalist and sounds like a half hearted story. then look what his actual source is......... I'd be very surprised if Lallana goes.
Crazy Diamond Posted 19 April, 2014 Posted 19 April, 2014 It's a shame that all journalists that report potential bad news are full of sh*t according to popular SaintsWeb opinion. 50-50 chance you know. He either goes or doesn't.
RedArmy Posted 19 April, 2014 Posted 19 April, 2014 Couldn't see him leaving unless it was for champions league football or Everton. He's regarded by most as a player that should be starting in the World Cup so there's no motivation in that department. I wouldn't begrudge him a move, he's stuck with us through some **** times, but I don't see united as a wise move for him. Only if they avoid the Europa league and can focus solely on the league like Liverpool this season, but even then, they're an ageing side who are probably a few years of hard work away from mounting a serious title challenge again.
Appy Posted 19 April, 2014 Posted 19 April, 2014 Do we tell all ex players our transfer dealings? It's probably Ali Dia.

He either goes or doesn't. This isn't Lallana telling a journalist he is leaving. This is a journalist talking to an unknown ex player, who heard a rumour from a completely unknown source. It's just meaningless, it might as well have been written in marmalade on the wall of Primark. There's also a 50-50 chance of winning the lottery. You either win or you don't.
Wiggles31 Posted 19 April, 2014 Posted 19 April, 2014 Standard dog poo from Crook (surname speaks volumes)

Point out to me where he's said 'Lallana has told me he's leaving.' I believe he said something along the lines of a source with connections to the club told him he's going and we should see how it pans out. He never at any point said the player told him he was going anywhere, nor that he believed the source for that matter.
trousers Posted 19 April, 2014 Posted 19 April, 2014 I won't believe it until THEVMAN stops posting...
Dr Who? Posted 19 April, 2014 Posted 19 April, 2014 I am honestly not sure that would be a great move. Surely if he goes it will be Chelsea, Arsenal. Liverpool or City? If not abroad. He will stay though.

Never in a million years is he going to Everton. Even if they make 4th place, they aren't going to spunk £30m on Lallana.

This is a Man Utd fan, quoting an unknown ex. Saint who heard a rumour from an unknown source, that's why I think this is bull sh*t not just because it's a negative rumour.

I'm not saying I think it's true, for the record...
Dalek2003 Posted 19 April, 2014 Posted 19 April, 2014 I am honestly not sure that would be a great move. Surely if he goes it will be Chelsea, Arsenal. Liverpool or City? If not abroad. He will stay though. Man U will be up there next year, a massive club.
DuncanRG Posted 19 April, 2014 Posted 19 April, 2014 For a reporter, his negligence of the apostrophe is appalling.
Saint Garrett Posted 20 April, 2014 Posted 20 April, 2014 He wouldn't get in Chelsea's side, would probably struggle Man City's. Man Utd he'd be stuck out on the wing, Liverpool he'd be in competition with Coutinho. He might as well just stay. The only team he'd walk into above us is Spurs.
dronskisaint Posted 20 April, 2014 Posted 20 April, 2014 (edited) All bad news is bull sh*t So by your definition all your posts are .........? I think he'll stay, hope he'll stay. He values what he has at Southampton and is part of what we are trying to achieve. Edited 20 April, 2014 by dronskisaint pressed too soon
redkeith Posted 20 April, 2014 Posted 20 April, 2014 If Utd sign Lallana Moyes wants sacking. They already have Mata, Fellani and Rooney playing in the same space, and now they want Ads to run in there as well! Ads is the last player Utd need. There was another press story last week about him going to Arsenal. Both clubs need Cork, Morgan or Vic a lot more than they need Lallana.

Though Fellaini's not pushing anyone for a number 10 berth...
ottery st mary Posted 20 April, 2014 Posted 20 April, 2014 Moyes is interested in Victor Wanyama for his defence midfield position. Maybe Shaw and Chambers for full back. He likes the look of Morgan and Corky in the middle. He wants Lallana to play with Mata and Rooney in the three behind Van Persie. Moyes is also a big fan of Lovren at the back. Is willing to sign Jay Rod as well. Attempts will be made by Moyes to take Gallagher, JWP,Reed and McQueen. I have just realised that I could be as good a journalist as Crook and that bullllshiiiter Alan Nixon. Journalists like Polititians ...not to be trusted. Maybe Moyes wants to manage Saints after all:rolleyes:
cambsaint Posted 20 April, 2014 Posted 20 April, 2014 Although Man Ure can pay top dollar in fees and wages, I still cannot see a move to them being a sensible career move for a very good young player unless wanting three years mega pay-days and not too bothered about honours. This would suggest an age of 27-28. My reasoning is: No Champions League football next year and possibly not for a couple of years. A manager who looks to be somewhat one-dimensional and second div to me. Forget what he's not done this season, look at what Martinez has achieved at Everton this year. My Man City supporting football journo acquaintance calls him his "Manager of the Year" and prays that he doesn't get the sack. No guarantee the decline can be quickly arrested. Uncertainty of knowing who the next manager will be. No guarantee or realistic expectation of being top four next year. Also how would you rate the delights of South Cheshire against those of: the Solent region; London;Spain:Italy. Just think where Saints would be with Rooney and Van Persie in the team- top four for sure imo. I'd stay with Poch for another year-and probably follow him if he moves to a super-team. Of course the equation changes dramatically if an exciting managerial change occurs at OT.
mcjwills Posted 20 April, 2014 Posted 20 April, 2014 Man U will be up there next year, a massive club. Be even more massive if they got rid of Moyes and installed Hoddle as manager ?
pap Posted 20 April, 2014 Posted 20 April, 2014 Why does Alex Crook support United, then? Is he from Salford?
Monk Posted 20 April, 2014 Posted 20 April, 2014 Surely its not just a coincidence that Alex Crook and GS both sprout absolute crap 24/7? Both idiots = same person possibly? It would certainly explain a lot. Go on GS you nibble.
