    Wonder what the details of this deal are. Some sources seem to suggest Lallana will be on £100k a week - I hope that is not the case.
    You'd imagine he was one of the highest earners at Southampton, being captain and all, if you're moving jobs, playing at a higher level, you've a right to demand higher wages.

    Now with all that said, I've no idea what he was/is on

    I'd say he's on a decent enough wage. He's not a guy in his early 20s.

    Guess who was signed this day four years ago?





    Roy Hodgson

    :mad:

    i don't know whether this is supposed to depress me, or I'm supposed to be fúcking delighted that it's just a memory.

    i'm so confused.

    I'd be surprised if it's that high, he'd have settled for much less I am sure, but when you pay that high a fee, it's reasonable for a player to expect a big wedge...

    According to the Barcelona paper Sport, Suarez was told that the deal wouldn't go ahead unless he apologised for his actions.

    Here we go.

    Zubizaretta:
    Luis Suarez? Won't comment as sports director, just saying that it honours him that he apologized.

    Rakitic:
    To have the character and strength to apologise in front of the world shows what a noble person he is.

    Read some thought of analytical football brain Ted Knutson onLFC for next season.
    https://twitter.com/mixedknuts

    He reckon LFC will have to go 3-5-2 to accomodate Gerrard, Lallana etc.
    He's also pointed out that Henderson was bought because of the high percentage of turnovers he makes in the opposition's half. Lallana had similar stats last season.
    He reckons with Gerrard playing the Pirlo role, he needs protection from players than can get the ball back after losing possession in the oppositions half.

    So it would appear than LFC will evolve further on the high pressing game a la last season.
    So, I see the 5-2 being, Sterling, Henderson, Gerrard, Lallana & Coutinho with Sturridge & Lambert/Borini (we can only presume Suarez is gone following his 'apology' last night.

    Everything looks fine, although I'm not a huge fan of Lambert or Borini, I think Sanchez if he comes in the swap deal would be a step up on them.

    However, is Rodgers actually going to do anything about the back?
    Sakho has had a good WC, Skrtl can play in a 3 CB, as can Agger, but still, it's unsettling to think of those slow 3 at the back and a slow Gerrard 'protecting' them.

    Who would you bring in?

    Very underwhelming signing.

    Its like we never signed Downing, Carroll and Adam.

    I'm not sure how signing someone renowned for his versatility is the same as signing those one dimensional players you've named.

    Lallana was a nominee for PFA Player of the Year. I think its too much money but a good signing. He is no Downing etc imo. He probably covers more distance in a game than Adam & Carroll combined too.

    the only way this is in any way comparable is that Lallana is British and it's expensive.

    Lallana will be a lot better that any of those signings, I can guarantee it.

    Sanchez, Shaqiri, a decent LB and a quality CB then I'll be happy with Suarez leaving. Irreplaceable talent that I'll forever respect.

    Vermaelen also looks interesting, seems to be on his way out of Arsenal. Proven in the PL...any takers?
