You can't gauge what a player is worth off a transfer fee alone because the total cost of the player includes wages. So, for Lallana we basically paid half of what Arsenal paid for Sanchez. Is Lallana worth half a Sanchez? To me he is for his quality; he just needs to be fit. Then there is a question of whether a transfer is a success and you can't judge that off the first season so you're wrong on that count too.
I wouldn't say Lallana is worth half of Sanchez. He was a good player for a mid table club in the PL for 2 season and is 26 years old. By comparison, Sanchez had pllayed for the most successful club in Europe in the last decade in the biggest matches in the biggest competitions. His track record was far superior to that of Lallana.
The very fact that Lallana is from the EPL is why he's worth so much so there's no point iffing about another league. We bought Lallana from Southampton after he had a PFA POTY nominated season.
That's another reason the transfer was disappointing. We bought him from the PL presumably to avoid the settling in period. Therefore, that makes it even more disappointing that he hasn't hit top form right way.
Either way, strictly looking at quality, age and what he has accomplished prior to joining us, he is not worth more than £10-12 million. It's no surprise to me that Brendan is the one that FSG have chosen to blame for our transfer failures.
