You're never going to see the "evidence" that you want to see. Firstly, you have a history of taking stuff from here (and other places online) and passing it off elsewhere as your own; secondly, why would anybody in any sort of position of trust with somebody else breach that trust by providing details that could/would identify them? If you choose not to believe that Lallana left on bad terms because of the way he acted, that's up to you. The rest of us will get on with our lives quite comfortably without it. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Duckhunter Posted 25 July, 2020 Share Posted 25 July, 2020 My Snap dragon works with a close member of his family, and she’s told the SD the reason he wanted to go, the money on offer and the fact he regrets the hate from Southampton. She obviously didn’t say “Adam acted like a wanker to get his move”. From the clubs pronouncements it’s obvious something went on and he didn’t leave in the correct manner. However, I’m of the opinion nearly every single player is capable of behaving like this. Ricky lambert left in the proper manner, but his dream move was pretty much waved through. How would he have acted had we said no? Who knows. Anyway, we are where we are. Bridges burned. It’s just a shame that the promotion team which gave us such a wonderful 2 years has a member not welcomed here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The very modern "sorry you were offended" rather than being sorry for the act that caused offence in the first place. Ultimately, until he says he regrets the way in which he acted, rather than regretting that we didn't like it, I don't see a great deal of change in his portrayal among the fanbase.

wild-saint Posted 25 July, 2020 Share Posted 25 July, 2020 Lallana was a great player for saints and I’m not that arsed how he left the club as most players will follow the money. I think we all know Lallana just doesn’t fit with our style of player and the demands of the manager regardless of how he left the club. Interestingly most BHA fans are choosing to ignore the fitness concerns and think Saints fans are secretly disappointed to have missed out. Strange bunch really.

Interestingly most BHA fans are choosing to ignore the fitness concerns and think Saints fans are secretly disappointed to have missed out. Strange bunch really. Yep, my view as well. Not bothered about 2014 and no axe to grind but at 32 not suited to Ralph’s style or system. Ralph wants a level of intensity in the press that was never Adam’s game even when he was a Saints player. If he starts well there will be a few moaning on here but have to look at the 2-4 year picture. Have good memories of him as a Saints player but no regrets at him going to Brighton. Our strategy has to be buying Mane-like gems with express pace in their early 20s to develop and make a big profit on, that’s how the club rebuilds. Two year contract would been the maximum I’d have considered if I was Potter, three is a risk at three but I guess BHA are thinking he might do enough in the first 18 months to fund the high wages and could move into a coaching role earlier if his body doesn’t hold up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Kent Saint Posted 26 July, 2020 Share Posted 26 July, 2020 We all enjoyed is ability to ghost past players etc but his shooting ability was lame , he should have been doing shooting practice long after everyone had gone home. His departure was poor whatever you say but his ball skills were inspiring and lightened up a match. No way would he fit in with the current team / system so Brighton it is but will he fit in a small club ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Posted 26 July, 2020 Share Posted 26 July, 2020 My first reaction was that it would be worth having Lallana back on a free transfer. I don't go along with the idea that football players should forgo the chance to accumulate the sort of wealth most people can only dream about, by playing for another team. Fans have loyalty to clubs but it doesn't cost us anything whereas loyalty could cost players a fortune. If Pompy offered Saints' fans a 100K annual salary to attend all their football matches, not many Saints fans would refuse, and that's a lot less money than entices players to move clubs. But on second thoughts, I'm not sure Lallana is right for Southampton now. He's a player on the way down. If there's a space in the squad, I'd rather see it taken by an Academy player.

He'll be on huge wages for the next 3 years so using him from the bench doesn't really make sense. I believe that is the deal. That he is regular starter not a squad filler. He will likely come down on his wages to compensate for that guarantee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shance Posted 26 July, 2020 Share Posted 26 July, 2020 Like has been said many times before in this thread, nobody expects Saints to keep top players that are wanted by bigger clubs. If you want to leave though then do it respectfully. There's a reason why our fans still chant Lamberts name and why we still remember players like Mane fondly. There's a reason why our fans can't stand Lovren, Lallana and Fonte. There's a way of doing things and they did it wrong. lallana was the worst of them all as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
