Adam Lallana

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Judging him on how he plays for England is a new low

I don't think anybody is doing that. Just discussing his most recent performance.

[Aldonose]

It'd be silly to judge anybody based on international performances. I remember John Barnes in his pomp getting regularly abused by England fans.

[aRdja]

Barkley had one assist last season, one.

Alonso never had many assists for us.

[kalasoma]

Judging him on how he plays for England is a new low......when does anyone shine for that shower of shite?

 

As I made clear, I wasn't writing off Lallana on what he's done for England. Just questioning the amount of money we're willing to spend on him.

I wish we were looking at Barkley instead.

We won't be, but it would be worth it for the reaction from Evertonians.

[Elite]

Lets face it Barkley would never come to us and I can't blame him, he'd be the ultimate Judas and the bitters would make his life hell.

 

Damn shame though as he'll be a mighty fine player.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

If Moyes was still in charge I'd say he'd be ruined by being overplayed through niggling injuries, but under Martinez he has every chance of fulfilling his potential.

A lad i know is good mates with Barkley, i was speaking to him a few months ago and asked if Barkley supports Everton, he said he's not a supporter of any team really. He said he just likes playing football. 

[Baltar]

Barkley would be an insane signing but it'll never happen. He's defo going to leave the BS though at some point. Chelsea, City and the mancs would be the obvious destinations.

Instead of Lallana we should look at Fabregas. He'll cost £30M and his wages will be huge but he's exactly the sort of player who can take us from 2nd to the title. Unlikely to happen even if we were interested but that's the class of player we should be aiming for if we're spending £25M+. 

[moof]

If Barkley signed for us he wouldn't be able to leave his house for the rest of his life.

[Aldonose]

Even IF he would be up for coming to us, they'd never sell him to us. Ever.

[Dr Nowt]

Barkley wouldn't be £25-£30M either.

 

Not to us at any rate.

[Russ Atmosphere]

Fabregas is a Chelsea player in all but Wikipedia, actually it's probably there too.

Fabregas is 27 Barca want €40million he'd also want huge wages as you mentioned.  No thanks.

 

[Sangria]

Barkley or Fabregas is not happening.  Rain check lads.

[Malarkey]

You pay for a players technical ability not his achievements at a team.

 

Unless you're a regular on the FF. Then you want a player who's won 3 European cups, for a princely sum of £15 Million.

So why are people using Lallana's achievements at a team to justify the signing/cost?

That's exactly my point.

 

Southampton supporters will over value him, Liverpool supporters will undervalue him.

[Trucker Paddy]

£25m for a 26 year old player with 2 years top flight football. Fuckin madness

£25m is what they've turned down isn't it?

[Guest davelfc]

Is that £25m or much less with add ons taking it to maybe £25m or player swap offers. 

 

I'm guessing Ayre has gone in there with a low cash offer and some old toffee crisp wrappers and a conker, a 25 winning conker mind you not some crap picked up off the grass. Oh and an old bus ticket. Why the fuck they're playing hardball I'll never know.

[Malarkey]

It'll be a low cash offer with incentives.

 

We're tight cunts.

[Guest davelfc]

Imagine trying that with your season ticket, they'd go mental.

 

"Yeah, I'll pay you £200 now and depending on how we do and performances I can pay bonuses."

[Dr Nowt]

I read somewhere the other day we offered £15M up front with add-ons, many of which are unlikely to ever be realised.

 

Can't remember where I read it mind, but it sounds suspiciously familiar.
