Baird of the land Posted 8 May, 2014 Posted 8 May, 2014 Sky Sports obviously trying to take everyone's minds off the silly FA B league stuff with nonsense speculation. I am waiting for conformation that Man City, Chelsea and Spurs have made the remainder of our squad their priority purchases.
nta786 Posted 8 May, 2014 Posted 8 May, 2014 Liverpool can ***** right off. £50 million and Suarez. That would do it. ****s. Glad they ain't winning the league. Adam Lallana is ours! Would be gutted seeing Lallana in another shirt. Gutted.
LeBenali Posted 8 May, 2014 Posted 8 May, 2014 Back page of tomorrows Sun saying Liverpool are poised with a £20 million bid,
Saint Charlie Posted 8 May, 2014 Posted 8 May, 2014 Suprised people can't see that this is actually very likely? Was clear at the Awards dinner that he at the very least has a decision to make. A move to Liverpool means CL footy next season at a club famous around the world. Fairly clear Saints ambitions have been somewhat toned down so now is the right time for him to move. Can see him coming back one day though but would be hugely suprised if he is still here in September.
Smirking_Saint Posted 8 May, 2014 Posted 8 May, 2014 Im sure theres a lot of clubs that want him. Will he go ? Who knows, it wont be cheap and will probably hinge on whether the new regime pays for improvements to the squad or not.
DG Posted 8 May, 2014 Posted 8 May, 2014 Back page of tomorrows Sun saying Liverpool are poised with a £20 million bid, £20m? Good luck with that.
washsaint Posted 8 May, 2014 Posted 8 May, 2014 20million....what a joke! WHU signed Carroll for not much less and Adam is twice the player of that lump!
Baird of the land Posted 8 May, 2014 Posted 8 May, 2014 £20m? Good luck with that. Laughable. Must be a typo, missing the extra zero on the end.

angelman Posted 8 May, 2014 Posted 8 May, 2014 http://www.redcafe.net/threads/adam-lallana.389871/page-5 Red Cafe usually has some sensible posters (and not just Man U ones) but the mongs are really posting on there about AL.
shurlock Posted 8 May, 2014 Posted 8 May, 2014 If Liverpool have circa £30m+ to spend, you'd have thought they'd be better focusing it on their back 4 or even a long term replacement for Gerrard, attacking creativity from midfield hasn't exactly been their problem this season. True. That said, he does appear to do more closing down and defending from the front than your average Liverpool attacker. A very underrated part of his game.
Saint Garrett Posted 8 May, 2014 Posted 8 May, 2014 Just imagine him holding up another clubs kit. Devastating thought. :'(

There are some things more important than playing for Liverpool and CL and family is one of those things. We all know, Saints isn't as famous as Liverpool, but we aren't some tin pot club. We pay decent wages - so Liverpool might offer £20-30k a week more, but I hardly think his wage at SFC is so bad that he has to leave. He can break into the England squad at SFC so that doesn't seem a problem at present. So maybe it is a question of family vs CL, as well as depending on the ambition of SFC. And it'snot like Liverpool are guaranteed CL every year.

He can double his family income which Im sure his Wife and little lad would also benefit hugely from. In many aspects its a no brainer for him. Apart from his relationship with Saints, which is the only reason its even a decision.

Never seen so many saints fans getting excited about a player leaving.
Saint Charlie Posted 8 May, 2014 Posted 8 May, 2014 Wait and see about saints ambitions before you try selling our players please. Never seen so many saints fans getting excited about a player leaving. Not excited, far from it. Just realistic. As for ambition, if the Manager won't commit then what does that suggest?
Bewildered Posted 8 May, 2014 Posted 8 May, 2014 Lallana should be commanding a higher fee than anyone else at this club, even Shaw. Plays in a position that tends to command higher fees, contributes more to the team and at the beginning of his prime. £20 million would be an insult
Barry Sanchez Posted 8 May, 2014 Posted 8 May, 2014 Yes, maybe, but as I asked, what about his wife & kid?

And it'snot like Liverpool are guaranteed CL every year. Its a career and going to Liverppol enhances it, it will double his wage, if its on the table he is gone.
ant Posted 8 May, 2014 Posted 8 May, 2014 Any advances on £105m. For that we'll throw Jonno Quick in. It's gone up again, £125m or nothing now. Seriously though - if true this seems tantamount to tapping up
shirleysfc Posted 8 May, 2014 Posted 8 May, 2014 The amusing thing about this is that the scousers will be moaning like little *****es when the media start linking Suarez to Madrid again.
Sour Mash Posted 8 May, 2014 Posted 8 May, 2014 True. That said, he does appear to do more closing down and defending from the front than your average Liverpool attacker. A very underrated part of his game. Yes, he's good at that, and it is useful, but the point still stands, if Liverpool have that kind of money to chuck around, I think they'd be better off focusing it elsewhere.
Roger Posted 8 May, 2014 Posted 8 May, 2014 Not excited, far from it. Just realistic. As for ambition, if the Manager won't commit then what does that suggest? And you know he won't next week do you?
Saint Charlie Posted 8 May, 2014 Posted 8 May, 2014 And you know he won't next week do you? I would be pleasantly suprised. But he hasn't as yet so when players get offers would he be persuading them to turn them down and stay here? Who is actually telling the players what the ambitions are?

Who is actually telling the players what the ambitions are? Wenger hasn't committed to arsenal yet! A lot of managers do it. He may have told them he will and it's not a big deal? Reed, Kruger who knows?
ant Posted 8 May, 2014 Posted 8 May, 2014 If he wants to go, I think £20m will get him Even with Bournemouth's 25% sell-on clause?
cellone Posted 8 May, 2014 Posted 8 May, 2014 Just imagine him holding up another clubs kit. Devastating thought. :'( Give it a miss Fella. I hadn't even thought of that moment. You %@&&£$ you. You. Shaky fist ala Frank Spencer. Garrett you are a git.
egg Posted 8 May, 2014 Posted 8 May, 2014 Wait and see about saints ambitions before you try selling our players please. Never seen so many saints fans getting excited about a player leaving. Budgets were being signed off last week. Do you know something?
cellone Posted 8 May, 2014 Posted 8 May, 2014 Forgot about Bournemouth. They could be in for £7.5m or more couldn't they. Huge deal for them, and rightly so to be fair. It would certainly be a welcome addition to the coffers for them. If they get a couple of decent players and a bit towards running costs it'll make that difference they're looking for. If it happened and they saw such a windfall disappear in running cost it would be a different story. There would put a massive amount of pressure on them to achieve promotion,

Saint_Tony Posted 8 May, 2014 Posted 8 May, 2014 Wow, why's everyone getting so worked about this? Lallana is obviously going to leave, so why the outrage at a team who will be playing in the Champions League showing an interest?

washsaint Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 what a bunch of sqiunnying little girls on here. I would suggest some of you go and take a long lie down and stay away from these boards for the next 3 months. Of course other clubs covet our players: we've had a great season full of English talent. It is a sign of what we are doing right. Some players will stay, some will go and no doubt we will bring some in: that's the nature of the business. But I won't be running around crying "the sky is falling in" until we actually see a large number of our good players depart.....which I don't think will happen.
LostBoys Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Next revelation Ashton and the Daily Fail. Reported elsewhere Pochettino and 6 players signing for Spurs in the morning. all ********
SNSUN Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 I'm not going to worry til it happens, else wise I'll have 12 new slitty marks on my wrist come September. Saints are the media's wet dream at the moment...
niceandfriendly Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 The last 3 interviews Adam has given he has said how he wants to keep progressing with the club over the summer and into the future, and how he hopes we can keep hold of all our best players. He's happy here.
Turkish Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 A very good point. I am starting to wonder if it's a case of if we have him he can't play against us. The only megateam that really needs Adam or the like is united. edit. Just thought about this a little more and thought depth of squad. Except they don't as they've recently spent over £30m on a similar type player.
Turkish Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 I'm surprised this hasn't been dismissed a lies yet. Although it does strike me that so many rumours about so many of our players, even ones that have hardly played in the first team, are appearing in sources that only a few months ago were salivating over us and what we are doing. It strikes me as mischief making behind the scenes with someone trying to. Stir things up and unsettle us. Maybe the dwarf was right about dark sources after all.....

If that's the case then he would be off even NC had stayed if our players want to play CL football at a world famous club we aren't going to hold on to them no matter what the boards ambition is. This constant undertone on here that this wouldn't be happening if NC was still here is so much bollix. Edited 9 May, 2014 by doddisalegend

alpine_saint Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Blatant tapping-up using the media. Hard to prove, of course. Fed up with this sh*t already. Going to be a long summer. 20m just demonstrates the sheer arrogance of the big clubs. If this happens, we will know EXACTLY where we are with the new board. Very, very fed up. All this sh*t about nothing ever happens before a World Cup, seems like that is b*ll*cks when its our players being touted around by the media.
EBS1980 Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 If he were to leave why move before World Cup? Have a good one and you will be able to demand more wages etcc.. I think he will finish the season, have a hat with the family to go through his options and then go off to the World Cup. Why jump on the first bid made, he is an Everton fan after all........

It's not like Lallana is our only player being linked with a move to a bigger club. In recent weeks we've had Rodriguez, Shaw, Chambers, Schnidelin, Wanyama, even Harrison Reed linked with moves away reported all in the same media outlets. The same ones that were gushing with praise of us only a few months back. Bit of a coincidence?
Goatboy Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Congratulations you have won the 'the most naive post of the thread' award, I don't think this is naive at all. It is a fair point. The loyalty of MLT is often mentioned but the only reason he didn't sign for Spurs was because his (then) wiife didn't want to move to London.
Viking Warrior Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 I think the sun are basing the Liverpool comments on Adams words at the award ceremony about scoring at Liverpool . To create this story If he goes there . He will be a squad player and his career will go backward . Personally I think it's is just scare mongering . He's worth far more than 20 million
Saint Charlie Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Hopefully the club will at least make some effort to keep him. If it was something like £20m that we sold him for it would be rather facepalm. Lallana exit would signal others leaving and most likely MP.
Roger Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 I don't think this is naive at all. It is a fair point. The loyalty of MLT is often mentioned but the only reason he didn't sign for Spurs was because his (then) wiife didn't want to move to London. Not strictly true. Initially yes but later on in his career stayed for other reasons.
