FB Lallana release at 4pm

I tell thee. This is fantastic news!

We paid a million quid for him to do a job for us, which he more than fulfilled. He's not going to improve at 32 and we've got four million back. It's a good move for everyone unless you get emotionally attached to footballers. Let's get real, we sell players, so does every other club.

If Henderson was worth 30 mill, how much for Lallana?

Would be sad to see Lallana go to be sure. Morgan is one of the unsung hero types but replaceable. Luke is a different beast, one for the future but we get a bit misty eyed about how good he actually is I reckon. We can spend a small percentage of the cash and get an adequate replacement without the potential.

Great player? Hmmmm.....

Are Cork and Terry the only two Chelsea apprentices playing in the Premier League?

Destination Zululand

Davis can improve? not a chance,

Having just read his biography, the part where he and three partners put in 5k each to buy Colin Clarke, rather than Bournemouth who were skint. He was then sold for 500K to Saints a year later with the four 'partners' divvying up the cash. A tidy 125K each, a nice sum for 1986. Wonder if the taxman got his share then?

Sorry Clarkey, I disagree with this 'ignore them if you don't agree with them' sentiment. A forum should engage all our opinions. I generally agree with the more moderate posters but accept people feel more strongly than me. This would be an extremely dull site if you were all like me

Every other child around my way says they're on Chelsea's books. There are a number of Chelsea franchises where you pay to send your child. It's a complete racket.

Has Morgan got near the French set up yet?

Met up with Tim in a pub away to Palace years ago and Sam was with him. Benali cost us the game, own goal?

Was a good friend of Sam's dad Tim, before Sam was born back in New Milton. Tim is an ardent supporter as many on here will testify from those heady days in the eighties!

Yup, It's the blind assumption that Lambert would want to stay if offered more money and a longer contract elsewhere

Eh?

We are ignoring the fact that for a last pay day from WHU (double what he gets with us?) he may want the move?

Let's be honest the Europa League is a ginger stepson! Not enough money in it to buy players and you end up playing a load more games. It's Champion's league or nothing as far as i'm concerned.

The next one....

Point taken, but no reason why a Lambert or a Sheringham cannot work with a Rooney or a Welbeck running off them

The age of Lambert doesn't hold water. Teddy Sheringham got his first cap at 27 and played his last Engalnd game at 36. I don't recall him being blessed with pace either.

D Transfers within the UK attract VAT on the fee. Between european countries they don't, go figure.

Norwich supporting chum said he was excellent
