Adam Lallana

[Cardie]

The big increases in wages are due to the new TV deal, think there has been around a 50% increase from the last one, and eventually the TV money filters down into player wages. £150k is the equivalent of £100k 2 seasons ago.

 

Yep, I said in the summer that it wouldn't take long for the difference between the old deal and new deal (rather than the splashy 150 million figures you'd see in the press and quoted by supporters) to be swallowed up as part of the normal budget as it's converted into new and renewed contracts.

[moof]

that is criminal. He's been wank for ages.

He's been back for about four games, ya nutter.

[Jairzinho]

Did fuck all in the six weeks previous though.

[TheHowieLama]

At times we have. Emre Can's usually sitting so deep he is next to Henderson anyway.

[Dr Nowt]

Will sign his new contract and then immediately get a long-term injury/develop brittle bone disease or the like.

 

Banker.

[Josef Svejk]

100k or 150k - what difference does it make ?

 

50k?

[Paco]

Who would you genuinely trust as a two in midfield currently ? For me maybe make both Wijnaldum and Henderson sit, you can then allow the fullbacks forward. Sturridge could play in that set up till we get someone better. And better midfielders.

I meant he should have bought a dm. This team has been crying out for it for years. And I don't mean Lucas.

Talks between Lallana and his representatives are at an advanced stage & he is to shortly pen a deal worth £150,000 a week. (Chris Bascombe)

 

He'd be extended until 2021. The new deal is well-deserved, Imo, but those are some high wages.

Absolutely ridiculous wages for anybody,let alone somebody like Lallana. Yes he's done well but is far from a world beater as they should be world beaters wages.

[stringvest]

I think youll find hes been involved in 8 since his layoff. One or two decent games in 10 is usually enough to see him proclaimed as world class though, so we're at least due a few decent performances. One look at Coutinho's wages compared to his contribution, and it seems churlish to have a pop at anyone else getting a pay rise.

[Barnesey]

Why aren't we playing that formation already?

 

It crystal clear that playing this 433 4141 4123 thing is costing us a multitude of problems defensively.

The one common thing in those formations is 4 at the back. And so they are all wrong. We play with two at the back becoming 1 or none as Matip/Lovren move into midfield

[Wicket]

No issue with him getting a contract per se, although I agree with the poster who said it is a very bizarre time to be handing out new contracts when the teams been largely playing shite for 2 months. 

 

The most baffling thing for me though, is the supposed £150k p/w. There are much better players than Lallana out there who I reckon we wouldn't dream of offering that kind of money to to come here.

 

A lot of players come the summer are going to look at the bar we've set for the good, if not absolute top notch players we already have here and probably end up walking away when we offer them a fraction.

They're looking at players with less than 2 and a half years left.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Nivea are paying half.

[cloggypop]

New 3 year deal with 12 month option. 110K a week.

Terrific news. Top, top, top player.

[jimmycase]

Negotiations likely started 3 months back at least and it is only the official signing today. No weird timing at all.

[Funkasy]

Terrific news. Top, top, top player.

These last 3 years have been more like, bad, bad, top player.

[Jairzinho]

Like a new signing.

[moof]

Forget new signings, this place needs new jokes

[Arl arse]

[Guest]

Where's the lean? Contract should be revoked until he leans on something other than Jurgen.

He's been a bit of a late bloomer, mate, but he's crucial to the side now.

[Section_31]

I'm indifferent, can't help it.

[Captain]

Shorter contract than Mignolet?

 

Uh-oh.
