No 2 to Maybush Posted 2 June, 2014 Share Posted 2 June, 2014 I think that some of the vitriol being aimed at Lallana is a tad OTT to be honest. Yes, he signed a four year contract last year and so in theory that should be that, but life isn't quite that black and white. What is so wrong with seeking some clarification from his employers about what the current situation is, just for some peace of mind and to allow him to concentrate on doing his best for England. Some seem to be making the assumption that his he having some sort of tantrum and demanding the club accept the offer and give him a transfer. Maybe all he is doing is trying to get an update, one way or another, to put his mind (somewhat) at rest. It is only natural.....anyone who says that he should just simply ignore it all because he has a fresh four year contract is not allowing for the fact that he is a human being - not a robot. I thought the Chairman of the Club made an unequivocal statement on transfers last week, did he not? So are you saying that Adam didn't accept that? Or that believes he should be getting preferential treatment on this matter? How much clarification of his "future" does he want? Either he puts in a transfer request, or we notify him when an offer comes in that matches our valuation of him. End of.

That comes across as just being a little NEEDY if you don't mind me saying it. If he can't concentrate, it sounds to me its because the Club are not yielding to the pressure being put on them by LFC to conclude a deal pre- World Cup. And he soooo wants this move sorted..... doesn't that really sound pathetic when you read it? He can sort this out TODAY and put his mind at rest for the World Cup by handing in a transfer request. It's really that simple. Perhaps his agent should advise him to do that - then there is no ambiguity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintPete Posted 2 June, 2014 Share Posted 2 June, 2014 So if Lallana was simply telephoning the club to find out what was happening and to speak to them about his future and the board are not returning his calls I would say that has to be totally unacceptable. He is the first team captain and our most valuable player yet he is being ignored. Contract or not this is not how a club who claims openness should act. Are they panicking? It certainly looks that way. I am certain Adam Blackmore is reporting correctly. And for those asking I am told players do not get part of the transfer fee whether they ask for a transfer or not. I think your judgement is clouded on this. Why does AL need to speak to the board about his future? There was a clear statement saying players wouldn't be sold at least until the new manager is appointed. Liverpool and Lallana bith seem to have their fingers in their ears. The new manager hasn't been appointed yet! And this rubbish about deserving a move after years of loyal service? When did a big club last come in for AL? As far as I can see the first moment a big club's bid for him he's throwing his toys out of the pram and trying to force the transfer through. This despite being club captain, having signed a five year contract 12 months ago and stating he'd snap your hand off to finish his career at Southampton. He was happy enough to do this on the back of a pretty average first season in the Premiership. One exceptional season and he wants off. Sounds like the complete opposite of a loyal servant to me.

OldNick Posted 2 June, 2014 Share Posted 2 June, 2014 personally I think he should go. To get 20m for a player who is tricky but does not have a shot on him ( i know there is the odd exception)who does not head the ball and has now shown his want to get away. One super season is what his value is built on. I know fans love him as the see him as some kind of loyal star player, but patently he is not. Let him try and cope in the goldfish bowl of Anfield and the pressure that brings, i remember the great Mick Channon doing the same, he was a bit of a failure and eventually he saw the end of his career here where he was at his happiest and he blossomed again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Channon's Sideburns Posted 2 June, 2014 Share Posted 2 June, 2014 A lot of Liverpool fans on Twitter think AL is not worth the price tag.

doddisalegend Posted 2 June, 2014 Share Posted 2 June, 2014 Indeed, far too much vitriol being poured on players who've done well for us for a considerable time. I must admit that I did warn you all that this was likely to happen if (probably should have been when) we failed to move to the next level as planned. The writing was on the wall when Cortese resigned, we had a plan, it wasn't fulfilled, these are the consequences. Even If NC had stayed we would still be in the same postion we have good players who want to move to bigger clubs. We failed to get into Europe this season, the only carrot that might have kept people here, so NC or no bigger clubs would still be circling like sharks and NC wouldn't have been in any better postion to stop things than the current board. Telling players we have a plan for CL football is a pretty moot point when some club already in the CL comes a calling.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint1977 Posted 2 June, 2014 Share Posted 2 June, 2014 Also, just to remember, this agitating from Lallana's camp weakens our position and strengthens Liverpool's - all this from our Captain who spoke of how keen he was to end his career with us not too long ago. Yep, lack of class from someone who is supposed to be skipper. If Liverpool want him, they'll pay the dosh after the WC. In response to Weston's post, how can the club answer those questions until the new manager is installed?! Compare Adam's behaviour with Rickie's on the other thread - easy to see who the Saints legend is and who isn't. Best thing is that Koeman gets the job and forces £30m out of Liverpool so Adam can count his money and we can move on with people who are passionate about playing for SFC. Can't remember Shearer and others who have left like Bridgey behaving like this, it's more like Kenwyne Jones. Rickie respects people and has had to work for a living to fulfil his dreams, hence the sickening sense of entitlement isn't there. Lambert understands your average fan. Adam is best advised to feign an injury when he has to play against us next season because the abuse he'll get would make Darren Anderton or Harry Redknapp blush.

Doing a move before the WC was Liverpool and Adam's target, not Saints and if he wants to blame anyone, it's MP because he messed us about with Spurs. Could have had Koeman in post by now. His behaviour, and that of his advisors, is appalling and he no longer has my support as a Saints player. Clattenburg took a lot of stick on this forum but he was right. Hope we get the £30m from Liverpool on OUR timescales with a replacement in train and everyone moves on but until that happens I suggest Adam shuts up on gets on with the WC.

aintforever Posted 2 June, 2014 Share Posted 2 June, 2014 (edited) Also I'm sick of hearing Adam deserves champions league football Adam deserves his own personal arse wiper etc, what about what the fans deserve? I say make him honour his contract, stand firm like Liverpool did with the Suarez, Sent from my C1905 using Tapatalk This if we cave in to one player it will set a precedent. I would tell Lallana and Shaw to forget about any move. We would be better off having them sulking in the reserves than having half our squad thinking they can just ship whenever they fancy it. The Suarez situation proves that you can stand firm and after a bit of initial sulking it won't effect their performances.

I'm as p*ssed off at Lallana as most of you but - as many of them are when it comes to the Board - some of these comments are way, way over the top. Lallana's conduct may be symptomatic of the ills inside football these days, but he didn't exactly invent those ills. He has been, until now, a loyal and highly valuable player for us - for more years than Rickie, and nobody (as far as I can see) is defending his actions; they are just saying that he deserved to have his phone call answered/returned. By all means, tell him things he doesn't want to hear, and even be quite pointed about it, but return the damn call. As I said earlier, let's not lose sight of the fact that (with Spurs' interest apparently waning, and with Liverpool setting out an ultimatum - and having other options) Lallana could still be a Saints player next season.

Smirking_Saint Posted 2 June, 2014 Share Posted 2 June, 2014 The board have offered relatively little clarification to where their direction is not only to the fans but as I understand it not really to the players or originally to MoPo either. Therefore it would be, for me, if I was in ALs position, difficult to reach a decision about where my future lies. Should a clarification of the clubs ambition have been forthcoming and shoukd it have been all but matching that of our star players Im sure that the unrest would have been a lot less then it is now. They have hardly covered themselves in glory since their inception as the new board have they ? Manager and legend has left and Cork/Fonte (the latter is a massive dressing room influence) have been left in the lurch. Whilst IF it is AL agitating for a move then that would be v v dissapointing for a lad thats always been v pro Saints I cant see it occuring without some sort of background trouble (as Blackmore alludes to) also I dont think RL would have slipped out the back door with the same pace as he did either. Somethings up, their is unrest in the camp and the future is certainly hazy at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Tender Posted 2 June, 2014 Share Posted 2 June, 2014 Weston, please tell us how the club are supposed to comment on his future when the new manager is yet to be installed?

Compare his behaviour and Rickie's - you can see who the Saints legend is. I'm tending to agree, even to the extent that like you I'm getting a bit hacked off with Lallana. I do hope that the Club are as good as their word and that they won't even consider any offer from Liverpool until our new manager has arrived. Liverpool have indicated that £25 million is their final offer. What arrogance from them if they believe that such a negotiating tactic will have us quaking in our boots, especially now that we have made a statement saying that we will not sell any more of our players before we appoint our new manager. If they are unprepared to up their offer to a level that we would consider too good to turn down, then all well and good, but otherwise they can go and get stuffed. Nobody is fooled by their attempts to get Lallana before the World Cup where he might well distinguish himself and therefore command a higher price afterwards. I read an article about him a month ago suggesting he was worth £15 million. A player is worth what somebody is prepared to pay for him, but also has a value to the selling club based on what it might cost us to replace him. I really do hope that Liverpool throw a strop and stick to their threat that this was their final offer. I'm sure that they are surprised that they can't just snap their fingers and expect players to prostrate themselves in front of the mighty scousers, but I'm sure that they will be able to buy another player as good as Lallana for much less money, somebody who has dreamed since boyhood of playing for a major world renowned club like them.

RobM Posted 2 June, 2014 Share Posted 2 June, 2014 This looks to have flown over your head a bit. Lallana wants to go and play Champions League football and is trying to kick up a fuss via the media because Saints are saying 'no'. Lallana is in the wrong here, not the club. The same Lallana who said at the end of the season he wants to hear the ambitions of the club, hear what's planned and then he'll make a decision? And now we're hearing he's upset that he hasn't got that information. All we know is what Blackmore has tweeted. We don't know what's going on in Adam's head and what he really feels, so no, it hasn't flown over my head, I'm just not forming an opinion on second hand (maybe third, or fourth hand) information that could well be utterly biased and agenda-driven, or just plain wrong. For all we know you're right, Adam is throwing his toys out of the pram and if so, **** him, cash in on the spoilt brat. Equally, for all we know you're wrong and Adam just needs assurances that we are investing to push on to the next stage in our progression and we want CL football, at which point he'll be happy to stay.

I can't remember a bid coming in for him before and him electing to turn it down and stay with us ! Not from a big club thats true, but this is different, as people have already pointed out no doubt Gerrard is in his bloody ear all the time, he hears what they earn, what life is like at a big club etc etc and for some reason now the Champions League is the be all and end all of what a player wants to play in ! Not so long ago wasn't it his dream to play for England and he has managed that, and done it whilst playing for Southampton. But now a competition on a Tuesday night which lasts a couple of months if you don't get out the group stage is the icing on the cake ! Its crap. He was quite happy to sign a four year deal with Saints, quite happy to see his salary increase with every progression the club made and now he wants his loyalty rewarded by being allowed to eff off to Liverpool. Thanks for that Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallagroth Posted 2 June, 2014 Share Posted 2 June, 2014 If lallana is throwing his toys out the pram (speculation) then quite frankly if I was the board I would be even less inclined to let him go. He may say he has been loyal servant but quite simply he signed a contract and no doubt in order to get a juicy wage and other bonuses. He can be a drama queen and sit the season with the reserves and Osvaldo or he can roll his sleeves up and make someone else think he's worth as much as we currently value him at.

Bearsy Posted 2 June, 2014 Share Posted 2 June, 2014 i wonder if lallana uses the same logic with his bird? "Listen, bird," Lallana would say to his bird, "I have been loyalty to you for quite a few years now, i think it's only fair i get a free shot at Jorgie Porter from hollyoaks."

Gorgiesaint Posted 2 June, 2014 Share Posted 2 June, 2014 Coming up on Talksport, Adrian Durham (yes you know what's coming) 1. Is Liverpool signing SRL a head's gone? 2. Are Saints being disrespectful to Lallana in not selling him? You couldn't make it up - but obviously Durham can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
