Nice guys finish last
Maybe £8m? Is that a bit optimistic? He's still young and a Welsh international.
I've never, ever rated Allen, so happy to see him leave. Hope we get some genuine quality in to replace him.
I thought it was a beard. ..
Yeah, I thought 8 mill could be a realistic fee for him.
I rated him but he hasnt developed at all tbh. Time to move on.
That's balls. It's a cock.
He'd probably do well at Southampton
Rodgers did indeed say that by now Joe Allen would be worth £30m. The signing of Allen, and subsequent frequent eulogies about him was one of the biggest concerns and issues I had with Rodgers. So very desperate to prove a point about how clever he was.
He's called Bruce.
A quick Google search says we've been discussing a contract since March with Allen.
Does anybody want to rage on about the incompetence of it not being done already considering he's only got 18 months left on his present deal?
No? Thought not.
£5m at most, I reckon. Given the bargains the mid table clubs are getting abroad I can't see anyone going high on Allen.
And like Lallana he'll be back in the lower divisions by the time he's 30.

Take out that first sentence and the same can be said of Ryan
As in, rated Joe Allen and refused to countenance being wrong about him?
And about how he thought he was clever in seeing something nobody else did in Allen
Useful in bed
Skode Allen
Joe Allen is a very good footballer and I was enthusiastic about his signing and thought £14m was a fair price. I still think he's a very good footballer but he hasn't improved the way I thought he would. He has been excellent for Wales in their qualifying group (along with their only other 3 decent players Bale, Ramsey & Williams) and has done well against decent teams. I still think he'll do an excellent job for a team like Southampton, WBA or maybe back to Swansea; I think we'll get about £8m for him but I still think he will prove a bargain for that price if and when he goes.
For the record I think we should sell him because Klopp needs to make this team "his" and get rid of quite a few players and Allen could hardly be deemed important to us at this stage.

He is British with a better injury record than walcott and wilshere so I would say £14.5m. Remember we got £10m for borini.
Same here. I'm hoping that Klopp will halt the destruction of assets at which Rodgers was so adept. That includes giving even Rodgers's own "overpriced" favourites a fresh start. Since January is so far away, the best bet is to regroup with what we have and let January take care of itself when it comes.
He's clearly a very decent player and a good pro. Sadly he's not the top quality we need in that position and he'll always be tarred with the fact he was overhyped by a manager who ultimately failed. Wherever Rodgers lands his next job he can buy allen as his first signing.
If so we should say the price is £30M. He won't pass a chance to prove himself right, will he?
