    Ye because that really makes him more proven, Pogba isn't near proven at any level yet.

    haha he plays central midfield for one of the biggest clubs in Italy and Europe and is midfield for France!!! how is he not proven??? also just won the seria A with Juve and has a price tag of between 40-50m!!! if lallana wasn't English his price would be 10-15 tops

    How can anyone be touting inexperienced managers for the role (Pochettino, Martinez, Giggs) after what has happened with Moyes

    #GiggsOut
    I think Giggs will get it

    #GiggsIn
    Giggs will not get the job

    #GiggsOut
    Is Giggs our saviour?

    #GiggsShakeItAllAbout
    Encouraging that the Glazers aren't afraid to make big calls when necessary

    The Glazers are pure daycent making big calls!!
    Isn't hiring Giggs the easy/cheap option?

    Uh oh, are the Glazers are taking the easy option?!
    Mark Ogden ‏@MOgdenTelegraph 55s
    Man Utd will not be pursuing Jurgen Klopp. Been made aware he is committed to Borussia Dortmund. Story to follow...

    #KloppOut
    Obvious Klopp wants it

    #KloppIn

    Every man and his dog could see Fellaini wasn't Utd standard yet the clamour for him to be signed in here was ridiculous.

    "Everyone could see it. Except all of you here. You're all so ridiculous"
    The players should have insisted on no POTY awards this year.

    This is just nuts. Completely bonkers. Why should Wilson, Janko & Giggs miss out on their awards, which are not related to this seasons first team performance? Why should David De Gea not be recognised for being the outstanding performer in an otherwise woeful season? All the awards were thoroughly deserved.

    That really is nuts, makes my dissing of Ronaldo to Maradona comparisons seem trivial :eek:

    Ah, we all change opinions over time, to be fair to him.

    It's just rarely that it happens so often in the space of two or three weeks. Usually it's over a period of months/years.

    Try to spell my name right, yeah. and I'm entitled to change my opinion on a subject that is changing by the week. I was behind Moyes all season. Tried my absolute best to get behind him, and will with the next manager - even if he doesnt get off to a good start. Towards the end I lost faith. There were strong rumours about him losing the dressing room, and he started to look like a dead man walking.

    What's wrong with that??

    Pogba after one full good season at Juventus and a handful of games for France is proven? He's nowhere near proven yet he's a headcase and unpredicble what he will do, When he establishes himself after a good few seasons then come back and say it, It's almost as if people think Lallana only exsisted the past 2 seasons he's consistinley been very good for Southampton in League 1 the Championship and now the PL, Made the club captain at a young age and will be playing in the WC. I'm not saying he's a world beater but certainly he's a lot more than a one season wonder people seem to think.

    Theres nothing wrong with it but go through the post now and itd be
    Moyes in
    Moyes out

    Its a bit funny is all.

    Lallana has a season in the prem.. Powell is performing in the championship so was zaha at a lot younger an age. Cleverly done well at Wigan. I seen him play against the airtricity x1. Electric he was. Think he scored a hatrick.
    This was all before they were 25.
    He has pretty much reached his prime and looks good at a team that were in the championship last season and will probably be fighting relegation next season.
    Every few years a club comes up looking great then go back to midtable or lower.
    He isnt as good as the best in the world. Not nearly as good.
    For united itd be like good money for old rope. Hes not better than Ashley young was thought to be.

    Not really. I backed Moyes as much as anyone. My support was shaken after the liverpool game (I think). I then got behind him again. Then the Everton result was enough for me.

    It was pretty difficult to keep the faith in all fairness. Especially in the immediate aftermath of some of the painful results.

    i think the main reasons for delaying this is -
    1. dont want to over shadow Giggs...once Sunday is done, it will be announced.
    2. season ticket renewal period - normally the vast majority of season tickets are renewed between last game and end of May...this period is now approaching and no better time to announce something big than this. traditioanlly over the last 5 years apart from last year, we have our signings done also to coincide with renewal date or when the club are trying to sign up new season tickets.

    if i am wrong and we let this go on for weeks and weeks, then we are in deep s*it.

    That sounds pretty reasonable. However I won't believe anything until I see him being unveiled!

    On another note how much are United season tickets?

    Mines about 800 (edit probably closer to 900) a year when the cup games are added in the stretford end i can look up the exact price later

    That's not too bad. I was using a friend's Chelsea tickets this year and the seats were about 10 rows from the pitch for £940. I thought they'd be more for some reason.

    Pogba is unproven? Nope you couldn't be any more wrong especially when comparing him with Lallana

    Pogba isnt proven because he hasnt done it on a rainy night against Doncaster apparantly.

    Lallana is a class player, but is he not more of a no 10 than a winger?

    You have a very strong opinion of a player that you haven't seen much of?

    Where did I say I havnt seen much of him?
    Im not a specialist on all things Southampton. I dont know why he was playing in certain positions on certain Weeks I see him on the wing or around the box.
    Hes not a bad player. He is way overhyped since the Southampton manager came in. Him and the striker they have that is not much better than big Andy if even.

    He's been hyped this 6 years.

    I've got opinions on Lallana too, they are formed from the few live games that have involved Southampton and MOTD, the same as the majority here I'd imagine and the same as jane82 is probably making out.

    Mine is only £532 for 19 league games. then we have any extra cup home games, though the LC is optional.

    it is quite possible that we will only have 21 or 22 home games next season, which will really impact the clubs finances, compared to 28 this season and i think 29 last season.

    but I wouldn't dare say he is better or worse that X ,Y and Z and go comparing to other players to make a point when the opinion is been reached by limited times the player was watched .

    everyone has an opinion - but to put it across so strongly (over multiple posts) and then admit to have not watched support that much I find a little bizarre.. that's all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,206 ✭✭✭Lucas Hood


    Love watching Lallana hes comfortable in any of 3 positions behind the striker and even in a deeper centre midfield position.

    Jane82 has probably seen Lallana as much as the rest of us bar Saints fans, which if we're being honest is f*ck all compared to the players in the team we actually support.
    Unless there's people downloading full match recordings of Southampton games, in which case I apologise to those people.

    Right folks who would our prediction as to LVGs 1st signing. I think it will be Toni Kroos as he is the exact type of player needed a box to box midfielder who can act as a link between the defence and the attack. Reus is too similar to Mata and Rooney when he drops back.
