A brief word on him. 1st half Probably the best 45min I have seen by an attacking english midfielder for a long long time. I think he would suit our formation so well. Lovely player. English premium prob means he would cost a fortune.
Lallana

If we want him then Tottenham and Chelsea would want him too. So no point there
Shaw and Lallana would be superb for us
Isn't Shaw a Chelski fan? And why would he even go to utd? sinking ship and all. But stranger things have happened.
Lallana looks like a cracking player. Perfect competition for Coutinho. But we can't afford him.
They have, but I suspect he's nailed on for the Chavs, especially with Cole now at the back end of his career.
Lallana's easily good enough for us, but I worry about his mental approach sometimes. He can disappear in games when things aren't going their way. Yesterday was a case in point.
I think Shaw will end up at Chelsea if that's where he wants to go. It just so happens that they need a new LB anyways with Cole probably on his way out in the summer.
As for Lallana, he looks really good, but I'd be very apprehensive about spending 25M or whatever it would take for a 26 year old English midfielder who has only recently started to shine. Not necessarily a reflection of Lallana himself but I couldn't take another Charlie Adam / Stewart Downing big fish in a small pond mistake.

He is a die hard Everton fan... He won't sign for us for that reason alone.
Doesn't necessarily follow. Joe Allen's a long-time Manc for example (tho' it would be interesting to know if he still counts himself as one).
Ronnie Whelan - Man U supporter
Fowler - Everton
McManaman - Everton
Carra - Everton.
In the end it's about playing the game. Man U didn't want Allen, so why would he reject us?
Lallana is good but not good enough. imo, not Liverpool qwarletee.
plus if he's gonna cost a bomb, i'd rather we spend it on world-class quality.

I'd rather we spend it on Konoplyanka or Yarmolenko.
Also, I'd rather give Teixeira and Suso a chance.
Assuming a fee for Lallana wasn't a problem, which it is, they weren't 26 when we bought them/brought them through (in fact 2 were gone at that age).
Saints have loads of players that would be worth signing, Along with Lallana and Shaw, Schneiderlin and Lovren are very good players, that Chambers kid looked really good yesterday and has been keeping Clyne out the team who is also very good looking right back, Ward Prowse looks a really good prospect to.
Regardless of what happens with Pochettino and the ownership this summer bigger clubs will be looking to pillage a lot of their talent.

Didn't know he was 26. Fuck that.
Lallana would be good enough for us, hes technically excellent, creates and scores goals and works very hard but as mentioned the the fee would be a major turn off.
Why the fuck would the fact he's 26 put you off? Prime years ahead of him.
I like him cos his name rhymes with banana. Rare quality that.
On the topic of whether we'd afford him - we've really got to spend big this summer to make the most of Champs league appeal.
Next season is crucial for Champs league qualification, hence all the media drivel about Utd looking to spend 200m this summer. the BT Sport deal kicks in season after next meaning that Champions league will be worth approx 65-70m as opposed to the 30-35m it is now.
The divide will only get bigger and we need to make the most of our momentum and develop a squad with enough quality and depth to ensure we're right in the thick of it.
Utd, on the other hand, are facing oblivion if they fail to qualify two seasons running. Likewise, Spurs etc

Keown on MOTD3 just said that Dortmund have been looking at him.
Can we do a cut price deal for Lamela? Is there hope for him to resurrect his career yet?
We should look at the Spurs squad next season for potential Sturridge scenario. I'm sure they will look to recoup some of the money they spent on players last season, if they are not fitting in well (which they are not).
