Maggie May Posted 9 May, 2014 Share Posted 9 May, 2014 I agree to some extent, but then, that would include nearly everything to do with Saints and limit the forum a bit. That's true, and in some ways being a fan would be more enjoyable. I don't get why people take football so personally. If Lallana leaves, it's not going to change my life. Other things are far more important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintSteve Posted 9 May, 2014 Share Posted 9 May, 2014 Only in the sense that every player is a squad player now. Think you're underestimating his quality. Not at all, lets not kid ourselves, last season he was distinctly average and MP's coaching staff have done wonders to improve his game time contribution; rather than flattering to deceive. Hence the reason that he will go nowhere if MP stays.. simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red&white56 Posted 9 May, 2014 Share Posted 9 May, 2014 Its a career and going to Liverpool enhances it, it will double his wage, if its on the table he is gone. Only to have most of it nicked when he's out of town on an away fixture!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aintforever Posted 9 May, 2014 Share Posted 9 May, 2014 I doubt we will accept anything below £40mill, Lallana is vital for our side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelman Posted 9 May, 2014 Share Posted 9 May, 2014 What's the point of discussing something we have no control over? That said, selling Lallana will bring the club much needed funds to push on. If we invest in the way Norwich did in the summer, like we should have, it will show a real sign of intent to the rest of the league. If there is no point discussing something we have no control over, then we might as well just talk about whether we are going to buy a ticket or not. As for selling AL, say he does go for £20m, less agents fees, sell on clauses, VAT, anything else, then we would have to sign a replacement say £10m+ plus signong on fees, agents fees, VAT and anything else, I wonder how much there would actually be left to push on?? And investing like Norwich - you'll have to explain that one!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not overly quick but exceptional skill and close control, his movement is amazing and two footed as well. It will be a long time before we see a player like him again in a saints shirt again (if he goes) I know Pochettino is a little bias but he compared him to Iniesta and Silva and he isn't far off.

Dr Who? Posted 9 May, 2014 Author Share Posted 9 May, 2014 He is ****ing class and I would be gutted if he left the club! Out of all the players it would hurt to see him in another shirt, just because he has been with the club for 14 years and 8 as a pro. It is his birthday tomorrow!

In any case, a unique player who is not easily replaceable. If he was just someone we signed rather then came through the academy I wouldn't really care. AM's aren't in short supply, off the top of my head I'd have no problem bringing Michu in to replace him. It'd just be for sentimental reasons and that it'd **** me off that we're selling another academy product. I know they're different positions but I don't think he's any better then Pahars was. Whether he's in the prime of his career or not is debatable. Ask Wayne Bridge when his prime was, Lallana's will be the same if he leaves, he's simply not a top 4 player.

Gambol2K9 Posted 9 May, 2014 Share Posted 9 May, 2014 For once in my life I am a bit ITK on this one and I know that Shaw and Lallana are both open to moves to bigger clubs. Shaws the more keen to move to a big club, whereas Lallana wants to get a feel for where the clubs ambition lies before making a decision. Pochettino staying or going isn't the main factor in their decisions. Will be an interesting summer. I'm fully aware how this forum works and that I'll get countless **** for claiming i have insider knowledge, believe it or not but it has come from a big source inside the club. This is the first time I've been passed along a bit of info, prob won't be much more. I'm not particularly concerned whether anyone believes it or not.

Pretty much what Lallana's speech sounded like at the awards. If he's going to leave I guess it would be after World Cup. As for Shaw I think it's been a case of when he will leave, not if. Although I think we could keep him for one more season. Re MP, I still think this will have a massive impact if he stays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
