Dear John W Henry

[6TimesaRed]

Lallana, just buy him in the summer..

He would seriously compliment our midfield...

Fap Fap Fap..

 

[Leo]

Coutinho is better and younger and didn't cost what this lad would cost.
If we spunked anymore than 10 million on him I'd cry.

 

[6TimesaRed]

15 million... tops..

Given we paid that for Joe Sideways it would be a bargain given his capabilities

 

[Leo]

He's nearly 26 so he's hardly going to improve so for that reason I'm out.

Your kidding right ???

28 - 29 he will hit his peak.. so defo Room for improvement... Surrounded by top top players... even more so...

There's nothing to suggest he's going to peak at that age.
It's transfers like this that had us languishing in mid table for the last 5 years.

I think it's a gamble worth taking imho..

Agree with that but no chance he goes for that.

Yeh probably be 20 mill +..

Anyone know how long he has left on his contact ?

I'll play poker with you any day of the week, any time!

That little cameo tonight would have put a couple more million on his price, not sure about the contract situation.

 

[Mystic]

How clueless, sign Lallana and play him where? You already have Rooney, RVP, Mata, Adnan

Good old United fans, how could you play Lallana ahead of Janauaujah.

 

[doctor_mac]

Man City will buy him and he'll spend his contract on the bench.

 

[Woland]

If we qualify for the CL we're gonna need a shitload of players and he'd be a goodun to bag.

 

[StevieM]

Decent youngish English player has fine spell of form and decent season for smaller club.

Danger... Danger... Danger... Alert... Alert.

 

[dantes]

I don't get it. He seems like an ordinary player to me, I wouldn't even swap him for Suso

 

[Whirly]

Just reading the posts, I thought this was Ross trying to rile up some debate.

If Lallana is the kind of player that gets you aroused, then you've clearly dropped your standards dramatically. He's not worth even a third of a fap.

 

[Modo]

I wouldn't pay over £10 mill for him.
Its an English lad with technique and he's currently on form.
Calm the fuck down. There are cheaper and better midfielders out there.

Reminds me of everyone here who thought Adam Johnson was the bees knees and called me cunt for saying that he's was/is shit.

Seriously. Send Kenny to scout him and it's the danger trifecta

Average. Nothing special. 7mil tops.

His comments seem completely random, like hes picked a 1 liner out of a lucky dip and typed it out.

I asked this in the other Lallana thread and didn't get an answer - name me all the attacking midfielders that peaked at that age.

People regurgitate this bullshit constantly without thinking about it.

What usually happens is we sign the player, they aren't as good and then to psychological conditions are invented to explain why they weren't as good - like Downing not having the mentality to succeed at a 'big club' (he's been wonderful for West Ham since ?).

Craziest one for me was Reina apparently needing time to adapt to Rodgers system, and people were spouting this down the home stretch of last season. I don't think any level of adaptation could have made him an even adequate shot stopper rather than a glorified sweeper in our system.

I get your point. He's hardly an attacking midfielder, but Alonso has "peaked" at that age, he certainly looked more consistent anyway and he wasn't reliant on pace to put in a performance. Lallana isn't that quick either, it's more about pulling the strings, which he's good at. Not saying he's worth a punt, because he'll be heavily overpriced so it won't be worth it, for the amount of "peak" time we'll get from him, but I don't think the age is really an issue about whether or not he'll decline rapidly or whatever, he's a late bloomer anyway, by all accounts, which does happen occasionally, Ian Wright for instance.
