Adam Lallana

[Hansern]

I doubt the last bid was 25 mill and I dont think the next one will be that high either.
I read earlier today that Soton feel the Add ons are unrealistic.

If we committ to 3-5 mill in easier achiveable add ons then thats fine by me.
Rodgers wants him and he'll fit in perfectly. Thats worth some extra cash.

 

[hmmmmm1]

Maybe I'm being totally naive but I'd Rodgers wants him and thinks he's worth whatever we're willing to offer then he has my full backing.

This kind of naive thinking has screwed us in the past!

 

[Red Bird]

I would rather see Firmino but if Rodgers believes that Lallana is worth a punt at, I'll trust his judgement. Carroll, Downing, Adam were all Camolli's mistake and he got the chop for those mistakes.

They all do, indeed. My biggest worry is the fact managers far too frequently seem to think that other teams' players are better than theirs. Remember Rodgers wanted to swap Henderson and a couple of million quid for Clint Dempsey.

In the last 24 odd months, we've passed up on just about every major target we've had because of a refusal to pay over the odds or be "put over a barrel with the fee".

Just by the by.

Yeah, but they're all foreign so it's ok!

In the past 24 months we've improved dramatically.

Before that we used to pay over the odds all the time and we got worse and worse.

What you're trying to say, Managers should read forums and seek advice from fans about the next best buy?

Erm no

Media reports of a third bid going in.

My guess is it's around 28M, and Southampton will accept it.

I would be very surprised if we go from £15m + add-ons worth up to £5m (as was the last purported bid) to £28m.

£15m plus Borini?

 

[Modo]

£15m plus Borini?

Fuck that.

 

[Frogfish]

£15m plus Borini?

I doubt they want him. It also undervalues Borini in my estimation.

 

[RedZeppelin III]

Well what are you waiting for? You'd better get on to the board quick and let them know. I'm sure they'd appreciate the heads-up.

good one mate, you've put me in my place .

 

[redhorizon2]

I doubt they want him. It also undervalues Borini in my estimation.

I read somewhere that Borini was being used as a make weight. Borini some say is worth £13m so £15m + Broini could give the value of £28m is all I am saying.

 

[Red Astaire]

Borini worth 15m? Really?

 

[Frogfish]

Borini worth 15m? Really?

He is if he is a make-weight 😉

No. Fuck this. If Borini is included then the price is too high regardless!

 

[Modo]

No. Fuck this. If Borini is included then the price is too high regardless!

Exactly.

 

[peterhague]

I still don't know what Rodgers has done to inspire confidence in him picking the right players in the transfer market. What's he done to earn that trust?

I think his record is ropey.

Did he have anything to do with the bringing the red nets back to Anfield? That was pretty boss.

 

[Glen C]

Exactly.

why its not like borini is any good. if southampton are stupid enough to take the deal we'd be mugs to turn it down. borini is average at best.

Because we'll probably make more money selling him to another club than having him part of some deal to get Lallana in.
Seriously we'd look like mugs if we "gave" Borini to fucking Southampton and also paid them £15 million.
Lallana isn't worth more than £15 million.

borini isnt worth more than 10m so its still a good deal.

 

[Fabio]

Aside from the lallana issue, Borini is a young, energetic striker who can play across the front 3, who had a decent season at a goal shy sunderland

Borini could be a fantastic impact player for us. I'm gonna say Kuyt -esque

 

[kingjulian]

Except Kuyt was a core player for us....nearly always played and especially in big games.

Yes he is.

Yes he is.

no he's not

We didn't buy him when he was 20 though.

Borini has more than enough time to be as effective as Kuyt

 

[red_maradona]

Borini worth 15m? Really?

If it 15m + borini, I would accept that. Borini will not make it here and rather than loan him or sell him, I would rather he was used in a make wight deal for this lad.
