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

[tigertim68]

Thanks and good luck

 

[Simster]

Enjoyed watching Lallana. He is a good professional and he's leaving for the right reasons.

Thanks for some.good performances and good luck going forward, AL.

 

[Marshy]

At least the fans near me won't have to put up with me saying " since Lallana has gone of we have lost control of this game" anymore

And " get lallana on to see this out "

Wonderful footballer, RDZ on the pitch for us he was.

I do believe like Adam has said though its the right time, that money can be spent better elsewhere now

 

[RandyWanger]

Maybe he knows RDZ is off and will follow him as part of his entourage

 

[Biscuit]

Brilliant footballer and understand his reasons for leaving. Wish him nothing but the best.

It'll free up a serious amount of wages, mind..

More likely hooking up with Potter than RDZ.

Top man,enjoy IKEA and McDonald's on Saturday afternoons

Good news!

He has contributed very little and cost an awful lot.

Just listened to the interview on the club website. In one sentence it’s a family decision to spend more time with his kids and towards the end of the video he suggests he wants to play a bit longer. According to The Athletic his family is based in Bournemouth; I wonder how he will achieve those twin aims?

Yes, I've been scratching my head over that one. He wants to be with his family in Bournemouth, he'll be spending a lot of time in Bournemouth and presumably he'll want to play for a club in or near Bournemouth. This means he'll probably end up at ...... nope, nothing springs to mind. Poole perhaps?

 

[Mo Gosfield]

His legacy will be numerous quiz questions in the future....." Who scored the only goal in the only game of Sam Allardyce's reign as England manager "......
Seriously though, a talented ball player, whose better days were behind him when he joined us. A clever player around the edge of the box, always looking to slip in that killer pass. Not overly physical and not a natural finisher but with a sharp brain and a finesse that many lack. Good luck to him in this next move and we may see him back one day.

Spending more time with his family…Is Dorset / Hants THAT far away for a multi-millionnaire?

 

[dazzer6666]

Love watching him play, and a great role model for the younger players. Wish him well.

Adam was helping out coaching the England u21’s. Wouldn’t be a surprise if he was welcomed into the coaching team for the seniors if Potter takes charge, plus the odd bit of tv work.

 

[Hiheidi]

Adam was helping out coaching the England u21’s.

But that was set up by David Weir, who was with Lee Carsley at Everton.

Not sure he's so rich that he can bend the fabric of space/time.
If he'd rather be at home with his family it doesn't make much difference how nice his car is or the journey might be.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Not one of our own. Not played enough to be missed as a player. We already have a large coaching team without paying him to learn from us. No Europe to add his expertise. Big chunk of wages off the books for a bit part player. Wish him well, but no loss.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Sure.
But presumably RETIRING is the answer to the problem?
Not hoping he can cut down on a commute from Hampshire to Sussex.

 

[Flounce]

I wish him well but not gutted, we need better in the squad now imo and we have plenty of other coaching/mentoring older players

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Who knows, depends what he does next doesn't it? I'd be a bit put out if he rocked up in Barrow for next season, but I don't see any need to take him out into the woods and put him out of his misery just yet if he thinks he can find a place at another club somewhere that works better for him.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Struggling to think of a player we've had who's better with the ball at their feet?

(Even if he can't shoot for toffee)
