Don't let trucker paddy see this.

[Major Tom]

Same here. An ok player that will add to the squad with little chance of stinking the place out. 

 

Can see that fee coming up time and time again.  Kind of expect more than ok for that money.

 

Well, he's better than 'ok', so job done.

 

Just wait. You just wait.

[Malarkey]

Can't wait until he 'megs about 30 people including Brendan in his first game.

 

Forum meltdown.

[J-V]

Deal's completed.

As usual, this will become less about Lallana and more about who can be proved right on the internet.  I'm welcoming the lad.  I hope he's a fantastic success at the club, and I hope he contributes to a winning season for us.  If he disappoints, then I expect there'll be usual clamour of chaps on here to remind us that they told us so.  

 

Come on Adam.  Come on Liverpool.

Can't say that FSG isn't backing the manager on one hand, then turn around piss and moan about the fee, given they have pulled the plug on relatively minimal amounts on previous deals. To me, it says Brendan REALLY wants this guy at the club. Given his ability to get the best out of his players in his short time at the club, him getting his main transfer target and getting to work with him bodes well for the upcoming season.

I have to neg you LFD.  It's Chartered.

Yeah because I did the picture, you muppet!

[Jairzinho]

I think he is literally a quite good squad player and fully expect him to be literally quite good. Can't wait to bump this after his first quite good game. If he is very good or a bit shit I will pretend this post doesn't exist.

[Guest LFD]

I don't think he gets in our best XI.  Will improve the squad, but for £25 million, I'd actually like someone who would improve our first XI.  Is he better than Coutinho?  Not for me.  He'll offer competition and depth, which I guess is all our attack needs.  I think he'll be a decent - good signing, not a great one.

[Dr Nowt]

[Red Banjo]

I can say I'm somewhere between meh, and meh with a wry smile about this.

 

Show us what you can do la, and it might even change to a knowing nod, with an upturned grin.

[Adebisi]

Rodgers is always saying how he wants hungry players with a willingness to improve and I think Lallana fits the bill. I think there's another level to him yet and hopefully we'll see him reach it. I think he's going to be a very good player for us. 

I remember watching Downing and Johnson for Boro when they were first coming onto the scene and remember thinking they were both going to be great players if a quality manager got hold of them. Instead they went backwards and Downing in particular seemed to become a massive fanny who found his level at Villa while Johnson believe his own hype and seemed to learn nothing after moving to City. The only thing Lallana has in common with these two wasters is his nationality, you can tell his head is on right.


 

[Dr Nowt]

Yeah, Lallana may or may not be good enough for the level we ultimately want to get to, but he's never the coward Downing proved to be.

 

Don't think you'll see him repeatedly trying to offload responsibility of the ball back to an 18 year old who's just made his debut, as The Shusher did with Wisdom.

[Pidge]

Has this actually been confirmed anywhere other than JVs head?

I only realised recently that the ginger girl from the 70's show is Alex Vause in Orange is the New Black. Lesbotastic. 

[Section_31]

I've learned not to second guess Rodgers when it comes to signings, I've got my reservations about the price obviously but bollocks to it, look forward to seeing him in a red shirt. Welcome to the lad.

Southampton were absolutely, steadfastly, unconditionally, categorically, not budging from their valuation of £30m.  People were saying “Why do we fuck about.  If we want a player just pay the fucking price and get him – Ian Ayre is fucking useless”.  So the fact we’ve got him for £7m less then the selling club wanted; does Ayre get credit for that, or is it ignored and we’ll just call him a prick for not having the Sanchez deal done yet?

At which point you could come on and tell us you said they'd come on and tell us they told us so.

Yes, I remember reading loads of people on here absolutely desperate for the club to pay £30m for Lallana.

How is it that people complain about the fee for Lallana who was consistently good last season & yet,no one sniffs at the 25m fee we're rumoured to be willing to pay for Markovic, who I seen more than once last season & wasn't particularly impressed.

Mainly because Markovic is highly rated by all the experts who seem to think he can go on to be world class.
