Topic: Adam Lallana

[newterp]

Did really well - but he sure does shit out of 50-50's regularly.

[Filler.]

Never EVER put him out wide again. Please God... play a tub of lard out wide if you're having to take him out of the midfield.

I don't think Chopper would be much use out wide.

[jooneyisdagod]

I don't think Chopper would be much use out wide.

Or for that matter, anywhere. Unless we use him to man mark the referee.

Play him out there. Why not? Get him to touch his toes, sign him off, and get him on the pitch. Get my mum on the pitch... get anyone out there, but don't vacate the midfield from Lallana.

Disagree entirely on this. I think out of all our midfielders he likes them the most (unless you include Milner), the only thing he frequently does is try to chip the ball over the defenders foot in those situations which, to be fair, is a lot smarter than steaming in hurting your knee or ankle ligaments and making not one iota of difference to where the ball goes.

Very good news and well deserved

So not £150k p/w as reported then? Shock horror.

Good news.

[disgraced cake]

Never been his biggest fan but regardless of how much they give him or how old he is can only see this as good news if he can consistently keep hitting the form he's been in for the majority of the season. Thought he'd dipped back to what we'd become used to in his first two seasons throughout January but I thought against Spurs he was fucking fantastic.

[JackWard33]

Yeah makes way more sense. Also it's 3 years with an option for another which is much better for us

[SerbianScouser]

At 110k we got him on the cheap there. Outstanding business to tie down the best no.8 in the league this season for that money. Good stuff.

[ollick]

Not £150k a week? FSG OUT!

£110k a week? FSG back in!!!

Good news this, rewarded well but obviously not too well that our heads will fall off (but they probably will anyway)

Need to keep playing him off the front three.

[poopscoop]

He's the modern-day Quassie. Love him to bits. A very accomplished player.

[CraigDS]

Said when it was first reported that I'd not be surprised to see the 4th Year as an option.

Only £110k a week too, almost makes you wonder why some posters don't wait until more concrete info comes out before getting all moany about things.

[clinical]

Okay £110k is about right to be fair. Great news.

[JustDan]

Great news. One of my favourite players. His quality was always obvious, but he's shown that quality way more consistently since Klopp came in.

Hang on a minute... I thought people liked complaining about us not spending enough?

Well the 150k for 4 years came from Paul Joyce - whose supposed to be 'sourced'

People "moan" about things because its a forum and they like discussing stuff. Negative opinions about something the club has done or is considering aren't de facto moans - often they're opinions

In this case wages and the contracts we give to new and existing players are an interesting area because they're fundamental to everything we do and don't do in the market and therefore the team we put on the pitch

I agree with your general sentiment but in this case, as I said at the time, people were pissing and moaning over a difference of c. £5m spread across 3-4 years (i.e. whether he's worth £110k, £125k, £150k...)

It seemed petty given that he's one of our best three players and absolutely fundamental to what we want to do over those 3-4 years. Saving £25-40k p/w on Lallana isn't suddenly going to make us go out and get Griezmann.

I can understand people having a more watchful eye over squad players' wages. It will be interesting to see what happens with Can and Lovren, two players I want us to keep around but not players we should be overpaying for.

[CraigDS]

Did the figure come from him? As I know he (and a few other reliable ones) mention a new deal, but thought the figure came from follow up articles in less reliable papers.

Some. Anyway.

100% agree, and it's definitely a valid discussion point.

It's just a little predictable which members will be the first to pipe up at even the smallest hint (often from unreliable sources) of something they may not agree with, which is normally most things, and then go on and on and on about it. The same member who was the main one to do it in here has done the same today in another thread based on a shite article from a shite journo in an even more shite paper.

Then again some think everything is perfect then get confused as to why we usually finish 7th/8th.

Did you read that in the Daily Mail again, seems you've outed yourself as reading that shite?

Yes mate I read we usually finish 7th/8th in Daily Mail. What a smart cookie you are.   

[ShrewKop]

Fantastic news! He has come on leaps and bounds since Klopp joined and his end product as of late has been a revelation.

Keep up the good work, Adam, you're a key member of our resurgence

[lfc79]

Good that he's signed a new deal but crazy to call it well deserved 110k per week when averages are probably £400

[sms1986]

Great news, and encouraging that Klopp is doing this for the players he wants.

Who on earth in England is on that much? The only one who gets close is Pogba and that's only because those thickos overpaid for him. They can't win when they reportedly offer 150 and can't win when they reportedly offer 110!

[lessthanmatt]

Great news.

I was going to say "2020, why so long? ", but then I realised it's just 2 and a bit years away. We're all getting old too fast and we're GOING TO FUCKING DIE soon, man. Where does the time go

[El Lobo]

Excellent, more great work from FSG tying our best players down

[Trump's tiny tiny hands]

Did really well - but he sure does shit out of 50-50's regularly.

In no way is Lallana a shithouse. Meireles on the other hand definitely was one for not taking on 50-50s

[jillcwhomever]

Brilliant another important player tied down on a new contract, good news all around.

[HeartAndSoul]

Those cringeworthy questions on the main site 

Well done to him though. Been one of our best player this season and 3 season plus an additional one sounds more than reasonable.

[jimbo1962]

You mean the Charles Laughton one?

[Fordy]

Fully deserved.

Thanks Brendan.

I am pretty sure he was saying the average wage in the UK is about 400 quid a week. Ergo, it is a reflection of how bloated and fucked up the Premier League is that we consider a sum 275 times this figure to be 'good value'.

I think that's what was meant anyway.

EDIT: 'Well deserved'

Oops, yeah, I mis-read the post.

[the_red_pill]

Thanks Brendan. 

Indeed mate.

Well done to the club and the lad!

[Billy The Kid]

Perhaps we should wait to find out who's actually funding his wages before we all go getting excited

Just said I'd throw that out there on Al 555's behalf seeing as he's offline at the moment
