This is great news all round and the bromance between these two can continue.

How many times have you seen a player with his arm around the manager in these contract signing photos?!

 

[Icy Gull]

He also said RDZ is up there with the best managers he has played for.

Not convinced he’s going to spend much time on the pitch though

 

[The Fits]

I do actually think he might be the one who manages us. We always think ex players will, obviously, and the Bruno affair burns, but he clearly absolutely loves it here and there must be a part of this deal that has one eye on him joining the coaching set up.

 

[Blue3]

So hasTB used the transfer kitty together with the missing 1983 FA Cup money and invested it in a time machine gone back to 2014 and signed a younger Lallana oh just noticed it was a typo

 

[HCxUK]

Lovely - obviously contributes loads, even when he’s not playing.

Would be a real boost if we could get him back fit for the last few games of the season.

There could be a couple of very big ones…

 

[dangull]

I'm not totally convinced. Out for the rest of the season and you wouldn't be surprised when he comes back that he picks up another long term injury.
But it's not my money, so hope I am wrong.

Ducks and hides

 

[Billy in Bristol]

The first De Zerbi ask / wish of 2023...granted.

 

[Hiheidi]

There's an interview with him on the app, and he expects to be back playing for the end of this season.

 

[Swansman]

I'm not totally convinced. Out for the rest of the season and you wouldn't be surprised when he comes back that he picks up another long term injury.
But it's not my money, so hope I am wrong.

Ducks and hides

Sure, he probably will be injured again. But he has shown that if he's just available to help the boys in half of the games, it is worth it.

He’s worth keeping if he never plays in a match again……..I reckon his next contract will be one on the coaching staff (with RdeZ at Chelsea, probably)

 

[Seagull58]

Cracking news, so influential both on and off the pitch. Really hope when he hangs his boots up we bring him into the coaching fold.

Grow out his beard, shave his head and paint a mural?

 

[ozzygull]

Really good news. RDZ definitely wants him around the club fit or not, and he seems like such a great roll model for the younger players and a lovely fella as well.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

He also said RDZ is up there with the best managers he has played for.

Not convinced he’s going to spend much time on the pitch though

Hadn’t realised he’s been involved in 78 games since he signed.

That’s not too bad….

 

[Rookie]

The bromance between him and RDZ is something else

 

[jakarta]

Succession planning or what?

I think I've got something in my eye

Ducks and hides

Now that you are safely ducked and hidden think about the influence that Adam Lallana will have away from the pitch, as well as on it when injury free. The guy is obviously well respected, knowledgeable and influential throughout the club. A superb mentor for the younger players and has the credentials to be an outstanding coach in the future - hopefully with us.

Puts the usual generic football player tripe to shame! Well said.

 

[Motogull]

Great news and class words from him.

 

[Guinness Boy]

I've got tremendous respect and not a little man love for Lallana. This is tremendous news
