St Chalet

I have to say the PST are brilliant salesman. They have basically replicated this scheme without the lure of a high return. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzi_scheme

Yep, must confess the mix of international football stars and amatuer pornography did make me chuckle.

I think if you read the subsequent ones it gives it context. Also, if a true timeline, would explain our clubs relaxed manner around Poch staying and signing the deal.

This guy has some interesting insight it would seem* https://twitter.com/TheFalseLibero * awaits Trousers to helpfully publish his tweets.

Ramirez, Lovren and Yoshida have left?

Or Lallana's ego. He wouldn't want to be next to any inferior players.

Nice find. But please keep discussion on one thread, I have moved the other comments. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?50187-Adam-Lallana-Transfer-Rumours

I am sure Luke Shaw is on the verge of a move. You don't hear him begging via leaked messages to the local press and Cortese newhounds for a move. I get that players want to move on, but show a bit of respect for us fans please AL, even if you don't give a **** about Les and Ralph.

I would assume from this statement that you have never implemented SAP?

My feeling in respect of Adam is he is caught between two positions. I don't get the feeling he is naturally confident guy and shuns the limelight. I get the feeling he is being pushed around. It is almost like he is waiting for the club to do something so he can then use it as an excuse. I'd also couple this with the fact that he is clearly worried that this 'chance' might not be available again, say in a years time. I'd like him to stay. He is a quality footballer but just not handling this situation very well. Everyone entitled to a wobble.

Thanks for posting. Much appreciated.

Nail on head. He should have negotiated a buy-out figure or a CL bid clause, but he didn't because that would have cost him money on his deal. If we bottle this then Morgan, Lovren and a few others will know we are soft.

We were happy to let Lambert leave then and were edging him out. That's the difference.

Can't recall us trying to sell Lallana to West Ham in January.

PS Adam, there is always a way back. Just ask Stevie. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-354637/Leaving-Reds-hardest-decision-Gerrard.html

I think the fact he signed a new contract is helping him even less.

Time to adopt the 'Suarez' position. I'd personally refuse as it will send out a clear message to anyone else who tries the same trick.

Alpine currently warming his car up to drive him there.

Fixed it for the OP.

And Matt Le Tissier

But at least we still have you

So if Adam wants to play CL he should work even hardwr to drag the team into the Top 4. As a fan it is a dream of mine to see Saints in the CL. Not going to realise that of we sell every player capable of playing in said competition.

Adam is an employee under contract. He should respect that. The board should be straight with the players and explain that position though and not hide from it. The lack if a clear plan has seemingly created a vacuum in which uncertainty and opportunistic acts from other clubs have thrived. Also some of the juvenile comments about Lallana are bang out of order. He has been (and I hope will continue to be) a great player for us.

Quite.
