I wasn't even ****ed off he was left out, couldn't give a toss. Baines was rubbish, but not really bothered whether Shaw plays instead. Couldn't even get excited about one of our players playing in the opener. I was really looking forward to capping off a great season by watching our stars against the worlds best, but those disloyal ****s ruined that.

Giordano Posted 17 June, 2014 Share Posted 17 June, 2014 Know what you mean but they are still Saints players. And i would still get emotional if Rickie gets on too. He has still not played for anyone else but Saints this year. Next season is different but whilst in the grey zone if the WC he is still our Rickie in my mind and I'm proud of him. Adz and Shaw too.

austsaint Posted 17 June, 2014 Share Posted 17 June, 2014 I agree he needs humbling, but its a two edged sword, whilst I wouldn't mind seeing him come down a peg, I'd prefer to get shot of him at an inflated value. Agreed. I think Lallana has talked his way out of his contract with Saints and the Club is probably better off with the inflated fee for him. I have a feeling last season will be seen in time as his best, under MP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buctootim Posted 17 June, 2014 Share Posted 17 June, 2014 (edited) I have a feeling last season will be seen in time as his best, under MP. This. He has too many limitations to be really great and has had too many 'no better than average' seasons. You couldn't be confident he would repeat last seasons efforts if we pulled out all the stops to keep him. I'd sell at anything north of £15m.

St_Tel49 Posted 17 June, 2014 Share Posted 17 June, 2014 We offer you 25 millions,that is maximum for Lallana,but you are so greedy...I think you don't deserve him. You didn't offer £25m that's the problem. There was about £10m in ludicrous add-ons that may kid people in your part of the world but doesn't fool us.

NewYorkSaint Posted 17 June, 2014 Share Posted 17 June, 2014 Could someone enlighten me here, a little? Just what is it that Adam has done that has so upset everyone? Signed a kid's Liverpool shirt? Told the club he'd like to play Champions League football next year? I haven't seen any comments from him that are disrespectful of Southampton. Far from it. His end of season speeches were highly emotional about the time he's had with us. But if you put yourself in his shoes at the end of the season... there really did seem to be a lot of uncertainty about, a lot of it MoPo generated. An offer from Champions League qualified Liverpool, where pal Rickie L was already heading, would have been hard for any one to turn down. Maybe there have been behind the scenes shouting matches at Saints refusal to let him go ahead of a new appointment. Maybe bridges have been burned. But let's hold onto another possibility. Maybe, just as we have all be impressed and delighted by Katerina and the board's level of commitment with Koeman appointment, maybe Adam is too. Let's give it a chance, yes? The more he sees fans here already ****ed off with him, the less he might be inclined to stay. I think we should send out a different message. That we'd really, truly love him to stay. The man's a genius footballer and gave me more pleasure last season than anyone else. And I for one will be absolutely celebrating if he has a good world cup moment or two. He's given years of loyalty to Saints, and is as key as anyone to where we are today. The fact that he's ambitious, and maybe has come to believe his own hype a little too much, can't cancel all that out... can it?? Adam, breaking up is hard to do... so I ain't doin' it just yet.

Come on home!! My beef is quite simple - if he wants to go, hand in a transfer request. Don't do it through the media etc. I have no problem with players having ambition and wanting to play at a higher level than we can offer, but just be honest about it. If however he is trying to agitate for the move without a transfer request, so that he can cling on to his bonuses - well, he can do one. All in my very humble opinion of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, like a man, you go to the club and tell them face to face that either you're staying or your leaving. Unless, of course, you're not a man. It's not that simple. He's under contract. All he can do is let the club know that he would like to leave... and he's done that, albeit informally. The fuss over no formal transfer request is neither here nor there. In his situation, there's bound to be a negotiation over terms of departure, if that's what it comes to. Like I say, I think he's earned benefit of the doubt. The bigger picture, is that I get that it's natural for people's disappointment at losing him to turn into anger at him. It's a way of managing the pain. I just don't think it's fair on a guy who gave us so much for so many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pap Posted 17 June, 2014 Share Posted 17 June, 2014 (edited) The fuss over no formal transfer request is neither here nor there. It's completely relevant. A formal transfer request would have put the matter to bed, but AL did not make one because money would be lost. Instead, we get the spectacle of our captain appearing in various news articles effectively saying that the team he leads isn't good enough for him anymore. And of course, once one rolls in, especially the captain, others feel able to make the statement as well. He signed a five year contract last year and committed himself to the club. We all know he'll go if Liverpool stump up enough cash, and we all know he wants to go. Liverpool have used him like a chump, getting him to moan about wanting away instead of putting their fúcking hands in their pockets. He's been idiotic enough to play along. As for Adam's gifts over the years, let's not forget that throughout, he was a professional footballer being paid a wage that'd make the vast majority of us seem like paupers by comparison. He has not worked for free and it's not like the gains haven't been mutual. We've shown huge faith in him as a player and have made him captain in a team that has far likelier leadership candidates. We have done right by him. In recent weeks, he's been the worst sort of ambassador an up and coming club could wish for.

derry Posted 17 June, 2014 Share Posted 17 June, 2014 In a way AL has been suckered by Liverpool. They thought they could railroad Saints with a three tenths of f-all fee on the never never by minimising the cash outlay and add ons they might not have to pay. The fee will have to give Saints his value as a current England international plus the 25% sell on. It just isn't going to happen unless they pay about £25m up front.

"I've spoken with Ronald Koeman and his vision for the next few years at St Mary's is incredibly exciting. The uncertainty I personally felt at the end of the season has been resolved and I'm thrilled to be staying. I truly appreciate this club's faith in me." It wouldn't take much to have everyone excited about him again. It wasn't so long ago we were debating whether to add him to the masthead of this site. Just as when Saints are 2-0 down with 80 mins played you want the crowd to rally, that's what I want right now. Fan opinion is only a small part, but I think it still matters if a decision is in the balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres truth in that, but its also true (imo) that he feels he has earned a free pass like Lambert because of his sterling service to the club. The reality though is that Lambert over delivered year after year and paid back his transfer fee by a factor of 20. Lallana may have been around a long time but has only just started to pay back the investment made in him. One stellar season and a derisory offer from Liverpool is not enough.

I haven't seen it directly either, Bear - but we saw the reports on the BBC and elsewhere. All with a degree of separation, but all pushing the issue nonetheless. If the stories did not come from his camp, then where? Why would Blackmore put his reputation on the line to repeat such sentiments? I've seen enough of this media lark to know that stuff is parroted endlessly, so I know you can't equate plurality with credibility. That said, AL could have come out straightaway and said "nope, this story is all bóllocks. I haven't asked to leave the club". Having a word in the club's shell-like is no problem. Rickie did exactly the same, as long ago as December, and no-one thinks any the less of him for it. Going to the media to get your own way is a different story, especially at a time when its club should be celebrating some impressive representation at the World Cup.

Tamesaint Posted 17 June, 2014 Share Posted 17 June, 2014 Lallana repeatedly moans about wanting a transfer. A couple of weeks ago I looked back in the Saintsweb history and identified a thread from 2009 when he stated that he wanted out.That was not the only instance. Saint chalet closed the thread that I bumped but the fact still remains - Lallana has form when it comes to wanting to leave. I personally hope that he stays. I think he is one of the most gifted players that I have seen in a Saints shirt. He has the potentail to be the next MLT, There could be a a whole generation of Sotonians christened Adam in the same way as my son and several of his contemporaries are named Matthew.However he has got to get a grip and commit himself to Saints.The Scousers are taking the p **s and making him look a chump. I don't want a captain who kisses the shirt but at thesame time wants to leave us. I think he is better off staying with us - but if he wants to give it up here to sit on the bench at Anfield and make irreguar appearances in the Champions League when Liverpool are playing in the middle of Ukraine or fielding the reserves when home to the Greek champions then let him.

Tamesaint Posted 17 June, 2014 Share Posted 17 June, 2014 yes, I could. They simply do not have the squad to play and seriously challenge 50+ games a season So he will not be first choice. He will regularly be coming on off the bench after 70 minutes when their first team is tired and his much expected Champions League appearances will be when Liverpool want to rest their first choice players.

Woy after training with his squad for a few weeks clearly rates him behind them. Why would he replace Sturridge or Henderson? You might as well say he won't get picked ahead of Mignolet. Liverpool are not planning to spend at least twenty million freaking pounds on Lallana just to use him as some stand in super sub. With fans on here so dismissive of his potential not sure why he should ever bother to stick around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
