SO16_Saint Posted 1 July, 2014 Share Posted 1 July, 2014 Southampton Football Club can confirm that Adam Lallana has completed his transfer to Liverpool. The fee received from Liverpool, although undisclosed, will allow the club to further develop the first-team squad for the 2014/2015 season. that is it. Nothing more. That. It. It? Feck me, he's peed off the Club royally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 1 July, 2014 Share Posted 1 July, 2014 That. It. It? Feck me, he's peed off the Club royally. No thanks, no best wishes, no highlights of his career. Just that 1 sentence. There may be more later, but he's ****ed off quite a few it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buctootim Posted 1 July, 2014 Share Posted 1 July, 2014 Do I not like this: AL: “Last season, deep down, I was thinking: hopefully one day I'll be able to play in that team. That dream is reality now.” #LallanaLFC His best ever season was last season. Playing for a move apparently. Thanks for all mediocre seasons when you were playing for Saints AL.

SRL leaves and there is a eulogy LS leaves and the statement crows how well we did to get a world record price for a teenager AL leaves and there is the briefest statement.

Viking Warrior Posted 1 July, 2014 Share Posted 1 July, 2014 S-Clarke He has not only P***** the club officials he also angered thousands of us saints fans I got the distinct impression watching the awards that he came across as disinterested, I know he on the cafe of it he is a quite lad, but he should have tried to show more enthusiasm at the awards ceremony , but then he probably felt guilty knowing he was moving to the scousers I cannot bring myself to wish him welll, but equally I will not wish him bad luck Im just sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratio_decidendi Posted 1 July, 2014 Share Posted 1 July, 2014 (edited) I'm most interested to hear why exactly the club are acting in such an emotional way over Lallana's departure. Dare I say that the statement is as bad an example of PR as Lallana's quotes? Well, perhaps not as bad, but certainly not the professionalism I would expect from the club. Lallana must have really stirred something up. EDIT: So, if what AGC says is true, then Lallana effectively forced a move in an extremely disrespectful way. There must have been more, though?

vince Posted 1 July, 2014 Share Posted 1 July, 2014 I feel disappointment in the way he has handled the whole engineering of the move, but still pleased to have seen his talent over the last few years so he goes with a sign of what might have been, rather than a feeling of hate for me. I'm sure I've read a quote from when MLT retired, he was asked who he thought fans should look out for, as a player in his mound and he picked out Adam, so to me the line of magicians with a ball at their feet in our club has died somewhat today. But you never know, maybe there's a scholar in the academy who will have benefited from watching AL over the last few years who will come through and shine. I can't help who I support, and that's Southampton Football Club, not an individual player. Next...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Warrior Posted 1 July, 2014 Share Posted 1 July, 2014 ratio This is not the clubs doing. Im sure the club did everything they could to keep him but if what crook is saying is true, then Im not suprised at their mute response I suspect it wasnt an amicable separation. AL appears to have thrown his toys out of the pram to get his precious move. Hes gone now , time to move on , but his behaviour if true does leave a nasty taste in ones mouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sums it up for me. And if he did force out by saying he wouldn't play again then wow. Felt embarrassed by the Clattenburg b.s. at the time, even more so now This is also why Lambert is still one of my favourite ever footballers, because people like him are rare in the PL these days.

S-Clarke Posted 1 July, 2014 Share Posted 1 July, 2014 The undisclosed fee would certainly indicate that as would Lallana's quotes: "I'm grateful that Southampton accepted the offer in the end" I reckon we're probably only going to net around £14-15m from this. 6.2m ish to Bournemouth, and probably about £5m in performance related add-ons.

sussexsaint Posted 1 July, 2014 Share Posted 1 July, 2014 Right, well I take back my warm wishes from elsewhere on the board. Mark Clattenberg may well have had a point then eh? Utter toss pot - keep you feelings about playing for other teams to yourself - absolutely no class or more importantly respect for all that has been done for him to date. If you compare that with the letter to the fans and club from Rickie, well , its just worlds apart. I will applaud Rickie back any day of the week - I shall keep my hands in my pockets for AL , it could all have been done so much better with so much more respect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" If you're transferred, you get that anyway I wonder if he had to agree "Special" terms in order for Liverpool to agreeto him being signed The delay was for some reason don't you think ?? From what I can muster, the delay was with us not being happy with the deal. It might sound a lot, but Bournemouth will get around 6.5m of that, and I can guarantee that another £3-5m or so will be based on non-guaranteed add-ons. So potentially, we may only net 14m from this. The stories were always that we wanted to ensure we made a net of £20m on any deal - so clubs would need to be bidding upwards of £30m for him. It seems as if the club have stuck their feet in the ground hoping for more, Liverpool clearly weren't going to pay more, Lallana really wanted the move so threw everything out of the pram and effectivley went on strike - which kind of forced the club to accept the best of a bad bunch of Liverpool offers. That's my take on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
