[Bakero]

When is he expected to put pen to paper

Announcement expected in next couple of days.

Well it’s Sunday isn’t it, so probably expect the official PR in the week.

The deal is presumably all done.

Probably all signed - subject to the medical.

Probably all signed - subject to the medical.

Medical was supposedly today according to Tom Barclay and Naylor confirmed in the Athletic match discussion it is planned for tomorrow as the announcement (but then added that things can change)

I think we changed formation today in anticipation of Lallana joining. 3-5-2 with him in the hole drifting around finding bits of space behind two strikers with limited defensive responsibility. Alexis as back up in this position in the (hugely unlikely) event of Adam getting injured.

I watched the game thinking just this. Alexis didn’t have the best game, but he’s really young - he can learn from Lallana a lot in the next few seasons. I’d have loved to have seen the silky Lallana get the ball where Alexis picked it up a few times today as I swear he’d make things seriously happen! Agree with your post

Expect a photo of Lallana in the new away top tomorrow...

Daily Express claiming Spurs, Leicester and Southampton were in for him but chose us for coaching purposes etc:

‘Saints had been keen to re-sign their former player, as had Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers, who signed the playmaker for Liverpool in 2014.

But Lallana has opted to take a wage cut and sign a three year deal with Brighton, with the chance of a coaching role at the club thrown in.’

Read somewhere else that we had offered, three year contract, which was also more appealing to the player.
Hopefully a relegation clause in there somewhere...

I would imagine he is well aware we could be in a relegation fight again, and it is his future he is thinking about and after a season he is another year older, slower and even so would be devastating in the Championship. The main goal I get from this is he likes our set up, and a position in coaching/ management is his long term plan and he has picked us as the place to start.
Your not telling me he has not spoken to people at Liverpool and they have urged him we are the right move...

That in itself speaks volumes for us as potential and what we are trying to achieve here., we should all feel very proud and take this as nothing but positive news.

This is taking so long I am starting to doubt that it will happen

I am now in full on NSC off season, lack of signings, bedwetter mode

John Percy from the Telegraph has just tweeted the medical is today, so I'd expect an announcement this evening or perhaps tomorrow.

He diverted off the M25 and is heading to Norwich as we speak.

The Albion always takes ages to complete "the media stuff" for a new signing, and they've got to combine the Lallana announcement and the away kit reveal in one.

Luckily we know the club shop opens at 10am tomorrow, bursting with away kits, so early evening today looks good for the reveal.

Anybody on lookout by the Montefiore Hospital?

 

[Surf's Up]

Just seen going into the Grand accompanied by Michael Owen ... possible double signing today

Gareth Bale was playing table hockey on the pier this morning.

I wonder if people will ever stop peddling the Norwich gag, the Owen gag and the Kanchelskis gag on these threads. Do they still think they are humorous ?

Sad isn't it?
