Daily Echo ‏@dailyecho 37m Adam Lallana has taken a full page advert in tomorrow's @dailyecho to say thanks to all #saintsfc fans. pic.twitter.com/M0PqP2Jyjw

Day 1...

Stewart Lee fan?

Bournemouth chief executive reveals sacrifices had to be made over Lallana deal... http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/11312797.AFC_Bournemouth__Blake_reveals__small_sacrifices__over_Lallana_deal/?ref=twtrec

Alpine calling me a "bore"! I've never seen you post anything approaching neutral, let alone positive about Saints. Its just an endless stream of negativity and is extremely boring. I'll admit, I'm not popular with some people on this forum, but some people do appear to like my posting style. I struggle to imagine how anyone can find anything you have ever posted on this forum as constructive and worthwhile. Cheer up ffs!

Receiving more for Lallana, Shaw and Lambert than AC Milan got for Ibrahimoivc and Tiago Silva is hardly "catastrophic circumstances".

Amy Lewis ‏@SkySportsAmy Southampton have agreed a fee with FC Twente for Serbian midfielder Dusan Tadic, I'm told

Sure do. Unless we are both wrong!

Snap

I think it might be Jordan Turnbull.

Umm...

July 2010.

As Tadic is the Lallana replacement and Pelle the Lambert replacement, I think its more likely Pelle would get the 7 shirt.

What do you mean by "doing some stuff on behalf of Osvaldo"?

Vince Bartram and Ryan Flood coach the younger keepers.

Why would they take the website down in order to announce a player signing? That makes no sense, all they have to do is add an article like they do for any other story, not take the site offline.

They did that last night and added Veho to the sponsors at the bottom.

Thats blown it. Would be nice if they moved to a non generic website.

Its working for me.

A good journalist has solid contacts within the industry, that Twitter account claims to be a "Football Walking Enciclopedia" and has under 100 followers. Its just a random guy who could be anywhere in the world making things up.

What makes that source remotely credible?

The Daily Echo say Saints will make internal appointments for them. At the bottom of this article... http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/11310675.Lallana_deal_stalls/ So Radhi Jaidi may get the under 21 or under 18 managers role perhaps?

Why is he "shafted"? He has a players contract and salary until June 2016, i'm sure he'll cope. Does he even have coaching badges completed? He has no experience as a 1st team coach. Instead we've appointed the England goalkeeper coach, I think that shows a good level of quality and ambition from the club don't you? Because we need more than just the Koeman brothers to coach the 1st team and Sammy Lee is a highly respected coach in English football. He won 3 league titles and 2 European cups as a player and has been the assistant manager of Liverpool and a coach for England. It appears he is a very high quality appointment for such a role at Saints.
