According to this one, he's only Site-banned for 1 Month.

So that mean it's not Permanent. The Question now, is whether or not he can Post in the Soccer Forum, once he serves out his Ban.

Out would appear that OPR went a little over the top, and then a mod reacted, again slightly over, and an admin came up with a middle ground...think it's a month ban...

OPR is not the only Casualty though.

Luckycharms_74 is also serving a Month Ban. http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057194830

While Lord Trollington seems to have been Banned permanently on the Soccer Forums.

Lallana is a good player, he's not really worth 20 mil but in the current climate he'd go for at least that possibly more.

My concern is he has had 2 seasons of top flight football and is now 26 years old. He had one great season, one average to good season. If we went for him before his one fantastic season he would probably have gone for less than 10 million. His price is been driven up significantly by that one great season.

Surely the scouting network we have can get someone at least at that level for less. After all we got Coutinho for half that and he is currently a good player with bags of potential.

It just seems like the easiest thing to do. Blow big money on a decent player that had a great season. He's EPL "proven", in the WC squad, in team of the year etc etc His stock will never be as high again. I would have thought we've learned a lesson over the years.

Thats not to say Lallana, if bought, could go on to be great value or a big success. I'm just not sure he's the answer, but the money mentioned makes him a big big signing for us. I suppose it all depends on who our targets are. If he's our number one then I'm completely underwhelmed.

Absolutely - well put.

Underwhelmed would be the word if he's our number one target in the attacking area. If he's seen as competition in the attacking/midfield areas and he is just one part of a really heavy investment this summer (i.e. we will be signing another attacking player of high quality, a further centre-mid of top quality, as well as sorting out the defence), then I have no real problem with over paying by about 5m for him. But I'd be very doubtful that we would spend 20m on him for this type of role. That type of money suggests possibly our biggest-money summer move, and if Adam Lallana is our big play in the market this summer I will be very disappointed and disillusioned.

One decent season and one very good season is what he has had - some people trying to claim 2.

I do agree with what people are saying about squad depth and that it would be hard to sign someone as an immediate upgrade on our front 6, but I just think that for 20m (or 25m) there should probably be something better available out there.

I've no great problem with his signing, but if it's the only one in the attacking area I will be disappointed.

Had to stifle a laugh while reading that in work.

I really do think we need to invest, and quite heavily, this summer. It would be naive to think that our squad, plus one or two additions, could cope with what is ahead next year.

We have Champions League, and arguably overachieved in doing so. Now lets get a squad that makes it doing it again for the next 5-10 years the norm and the expected once more. Currently, we do not have that.

Again, totally agree.

While a lot of people were flipping out in January or last summer, I was (while a bit disappointed) relatively calm about the situation and very understanding of the difficult task Rodgers and Ayre faced.

You will not see such calmness from me this time round if we are not very aggressive, very ambitious, and ultimately very successful in bringing in 3-4 top class players into this team.

Now is most certainly the time to build on what we have. Despite scoring over 100 goals this season and finishing 2nd with 84 points, top 4 is by no means guaranteed next season. The league is incredibly comppetitive at the moment in relation to top 4, you essentially have 5 giants competeing for 4 spots (not to mention Spurs and Everton).

What a waste it would be to skimp this summer, target the type of players we could have attracted with only Europa League football and not take advantage of this priviliged position we have not been in for 5 years.

If we do this, we may well find ourselves back to square one, reminiscing about that one great season where it looked like we were going to be back in the big time again.

Site banned for month. Perma banned from SF. Can be reviewed after 6 months, I believe.

Just remembered that's not a topic allowed for discussion here.

Footballs are round. We kick them well. I like that we kick them well. I think we'll kick them well next season, too. Maybe even weller.

Hadn't enough on my debit card to get it at the time, kinda raging.

I am hoping that its because I put it down for collection from the store is the reason for the delay.

They contact you once it has arrived at the store. There's a tracking code in the confirmation email they sent when you purchased...
