Alright then. I am talentless, and I try to be a fucker.
I certainly wouldn't pay a million pounds to play for Liverpool though.

Never a good idea to read much (if anything) into those clips, anyone can be made to look good or bad in a 5 minute edited video.
Saw him in a few of the Europa games and he does look a talent for sure, has the typical traits of a Rodgers type player - quick, technically sound and works hard.
If I was going to earn millions and play in the CL and be pushing for the title for 4 or 5 years? I might.
Ahh! That makes much more sense.
I mean, me too.
Get Firmino and end this saga, as simple as that. He is also quality and has much higher ceiling. In team like Hoffenheim, the guy has scored lik 16 goals and has 11 assists. It will be brilliant to have one more Brazillian in the squad. He will come muh cheaper also. He scores in big games, he scored or assisted or both against all big teams in BL, thats a good habit we need.
Have you been making podcasts pretending to be the LFC Transfer Committee?
The guardian claims that the bid is 15M with 10M in potential add ons
"Koeman wants to work in the Premier League but would also want reassurances over their transfer plans at a time when the team that finished eighth last season is in danger of being dismantled. Rickie Lambert has already joined Liverpool and could soon be followed by Adam Lallana, the subject of a £15m offer, with £10m in potential add-ons."

I've seen that figure of 15m with 10m addons a few times now. Wouldn't surprise me.
Local rumours are all that Southampton have actually agreed the deal in principle but won't do anything until the world cup is over & new manager in place. Sounds a bit unlikely to me.

An excerpt from Tim Sherwood's column
[article=http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/tim-sherwood-world-cup-2014-column-what-i-learnt-from-roy-hodgson-and-why-adam-lallana-raheem-sterling-and-jack-wilshere-should-play-against-italy-9504116.html]I would play Adam Lallana and Raheem Sterling in England’s starting XI. Lallana is a free spirit with a lot of ability and he is one of those whom the opposition will have to worry about. I like teams that pose opponents problems rather than constantly worrying about what the other side can do.
Lallana has more technical ability than Sterling and brings players into the game more while working in a team framework. Raheem, by contrast, plays like the best player in the school playground, dribbling around his mates. Every time he has been asked to step up a level he has done it. He is a maverick.
Another thing we noticed at Spurs about Lallana and Sterling was their fitness stats. They are incredible. They are two of the fittest players in the Premier League. They keep going all game and it is not just attacking areas but covering back as well. I always felt at Spurs that Aaron Lennon was one of our best defenders. The reason I played him so much was that I knew the work he did going backwards would allow the likes of Christian Eriksen and Emmanuel Adebayor freedom.[/article]

It really is strange the way a myth has developed about Lallanas fitness and work rate, if you didn't know better you might well buy into that bullshit, there was some matey on the radio the other day going on about him getting subbed and that it shows hes unfit, felt like putting my foot through the TV, lol.
Similar screengrab as the one I did for Emre Can. Data source: transfermarkt:
Might have been streaming radio commentary though the telly. I've often done that with Old Faithful, usually to great effect. 😎
On the subject of Lallana, though, while I *hope* it's bull (if we buy him), the fact remains that this view seems to come predominantly from Southampton fans, and they ought to know.

You can listen to the radio through a TV, blows the mind doesn't it? lol.
[article=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/southampton/10901340/Dutch-legend-Ronald-Koeman-formally-offered-Southampton-managers-job.html]Ronald Koeman is finalising negotiations with Southampton to succeed Mauricio Pochettino as manager after receiving a formal offer from the club on Friday.
A contract has been drawn up and is with the lawyers of both Southampton and Koeman, with a formal announcement now imminent. Koeman returns from a holiday in Turkey on Monday and has already begun planning his backroom team in readiness to start work next week.
His brother, Erwin, is likely to be his assistant while Jan Kluitenburg, who worked with him at Feyenoord, is being lined up for the post of fitness coach.
Koeman’s first task will be to stabilise the playing squad. Rickie Lambert has already joined Liverpool and there have been offers from Liverpool for Adam Lallana and Dejan Lovren, and from Manchester United for Luke Shaw.
The three players all want to leave but Southampton are so far resisting these offers and want Koeman to have the opportunity to speak with their players after the World Cup.
Telegraph Sport revealed that Koeman has been identified as the ideal successor to Pochettino at the start of June, with the Dutchman impressing club officials, notably technical director Les Reed and chairman Ralph Krueger, during a meeting in Southampton. Other candidates were considered but Koeman has always been first choice and the clear frontunner.
Koeman is currently out of work after leaving Feyenoord last month and is seen as a good fit with Southampton’s philosophy of promoting young talent from their academy and adopting an attacking playing style.
In a 14-year managerial career, Koeman has won Dutch titles with Ajax and PSV Eindhoven as well as the Cope del Rey at Valencia. As a player, he is best known in England for the controversial free-kick that effectively ended England’s chances of qualifying for the 1994
World Cup but he also won the European Cup with both Ajax and Barcelona, as well as the 1988 European Championships with Holland.
His Feyenoord team have finished second, third and second during the past three years in Holland’s Eredivisie and were the league’s leading scorers last season.
Southampton are adamant that they have no need to sell their best players but they must realign their finances and are expected to recoup more money than they spend this summer in transfer fees. The club have £22 million still outstanding to pay on players from previous transfer windows, as well as a training ground bill that has risen to £30 million and been financed by loans from owner Katarina Liebherr.
Southampton would only actually have received around £15 million from Liverpool’s initial bid for Lallana, with the remainder of the proposed deal made up of various performance-related clauses.
Bournemouth would also be entitled to a 25 per cent sell-on fee, meaning that Southampton saw no value in the deal.
They would also want at least £30 million for Shaw, who may yet emerge as a definite target of Chelsea. Shaw is a fan of Chelsea but they have been deterred by such a high fee for a left-back and have approached Atletico Madrid for Filipe Luís.[/article]

when have we offered something to a Club where the other Club is satisfied enough and they are happy to sell their Player to us
Do you really have to ask. There's a club in the North east that loves to do business with us.
sorry, i am such a noob but not as noob as Ayre and this committe
The ones we bought?
The question should be is he more or less wank than what we already have and our other targets?
Tough to compare with Coutinho because Phillipe isn't a fully developed player yet and inconsistent, lets just say are equally wank options to have in our squad.
A bit of a pity about Rakitic and Barca, get the impression he would be really wank over here and is a little less wank than the wank Lallana.
