One of the biggest problems any emergent club has, especially in the Prem, is getting genuine top quality, big name players to sign.If the Lallana signing actually happens (i still cant get my head round that-I'm waiting for the picture of him holding the shirt) then I think that one of the main benefits to the club will be just this- it will encourage a much higher standard of player to seriously consider us as a good move. With a player of Lallana's quality on the books, whilst maybe not at his absolute peak, but still more than capable of walking into almost any Premier league side other players will look at us as a more genuine prospective club. Llallana will have the telephone numbers of plenty of real quality players and word of mouth will start to spread in the circle of players who we will need to be playing for us if we are going to be genuine contenders rather than also rans. I'm not saying world class players will be queuing up to play for us, but maybe when Brighton is mentioned more and more players of similar quality or potential wont just say "who? or dismiss us out of hand, but start taking an actual interest.
If this signing happens, his on field performances may not be his biggest contribution to the clubs fortunes
Owen or Lallana?
Why has ErNEst lost the contacts and sauces he used to have at the Cliftonville? It would be so good to get some incider inflammation regarding LaLaLandiA!

I have it on good authority that he took one look at the new shirt and DEMANDED that we sing him.
No, it's the offical one...

I was just replying when i noticed
Any danger of a confirmation today?
With a bit of luck Naylor's waiting in his Mondeo outside the training ground, note book and pen in hand waiting with a pap.
