[Albion] Adam Lallana **Leaving Summer 2024**

[Hugo Rune]

“A couple of clever acquisitions that the football club always do…..the talent that is inside this building will be up there with any other football club in the Premier League.”



He knows!

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Old, injury prone, ex-Liverpool.
Yes please.

Michael Owen, Shirley?

 

[portslade seagull]

Great player when fit but his body was against him. Legs had given up so understand his decision. Think he will end up at Pompey

 

[Pavilionaire]

Think he will end up at Pompey

That would blot his Saints legacy, and he'd have to drive past Southampton every day just to get to work.

 

[spence]

Nope. No-one is thinking that.

Plenty of us thinking about freeing up wages for an experienced player that will be able to complete 90 minutes once a week.

Absolutely this.

My reaction is phew. Thanks Adam for doing what De Zerbi should have done. A club like us cannot carry players on hefty wages. Just Milner left to offload.

 

[BadFish]

This is another fault of RDZ ... His over loyalty to players , see Jason Steele and James milner.

Do you like any of our players or coaches?

That would blot his Saints legacy, and he'd have to drive past Southampton every day just to get to work.

If you look into the manner of his departure from Saints, you’ll see he has no legacy left there to blot.

it would be like Marc Cucurella signing for Palace.

I am just home from the pub, where AL back to Saints was suggested, and none of the Saints fans present were keen.

 

[dadams2k11]

Class Interwiew, from a class guy. Wouldn't be suprised to see him at Saints next season. Going back from where it all started, the full circle.

 

[Hiheidi]

Isn't his son in the Southampton academy?

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Good interview. He's a class act, of course.
I'm a little disappointed, but not surprised, that he thinks he still has any football left in him.
He hasn't.

If there is any truth in the "family reasons" statement, he has a choice of 3 clubs to go to.
All 3 of them are on an upward curve and might be able to afford him, but what would they get from him?
15 minutes in half of their games?
Probably not even that in the Championship.

He would have been wise to have accepted our offer.

A joy to watch, in his pomp.
But that time has passed.

I can’t find any details about the manner of his departure….all the reporting I found is just the basics about the deal and how Saints had to pay Bournemouth some dollar. What happened? I presume he agitated for a departure?

 

[Springal]

His small part in this goal !! Fantastic

Could he end up at Reading? Only an hour's commute from Southampton, much easier to head up the motorway than deal with the A27.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

If he's turned down our deal, he won't be interested in what Reading can offer.

Eastleigh or Weymouth would be more likely than those jokers...

Did he turn down our deal? Only read he'd decided to move on - what had we offered him, another year on a reduced wage?

Presumably Reading can offer regular first team football for him which we can't. Can't see him at Southampton, Bournemouth or Pompey so that's the next closest club who play at Championship level.

13 of a squad of 25 odd.

Are you sure you're a Brighton fan?

No-one knows what we offered him, but it's been reported as his decision not to stay after talks with the club.

I strongly suspect any offer we would make would be heavily based on his likely appearances next season.
And that would certainly have been a significant drop.

Lallana hasn't left because we can't offer him the minutes he wants.

Reading are in League One and are a total basket case at the moment, 3 straight seasons they’ve had points deductions for FFP payments, late payments to players etc. He’d be mad to go there.
