£25m before the world cup? We say no thanks. Why would we sell now? Liverpool are now leaking news to the press and putting us under pressure.. The board better not sell. But I fear the worst.

It changes everything. Totally different mood in this house. It's back to being just England rather than our lads. Even though he's not gone yet!

Rooney probably the quietest player on the pitch. I though he said he wanted to prove his doubters wrong? Barely seen him make an effort.

Cracking goal from sturridge. Need him to get confident! Sent from my C5303 using Tapatalk

Lallana would be the dream. But an unrealistic one I think. Either that or Schneiderlin... Davis.. JRod?

Give it a few days and we can just delete the thread

It isn't the loss of one footballer - it's the loss of spirit, the spirit that has carried us from league one upwards. The departure that triggers off further departures. The togetherness of the squad torn up. Rickie leaving is far more than just the loss of one footballer.

By the time the world cup starts it seems there will be no Saints in the England squad... Sent from my C5303 using Tapatalk

I can't remember a time when any club that finished 8th sold off all their key players. We are losing the backbone of the team. Can we really not convince them to stay? Sent from my C5303 using Tapatalk

Probably putting 2 and 2 together... Spurs already have a gazillion midfielders.

More likely Chambers and/or Lovren and/or JRod? Hopefully no-one will follow.

A totally different type of club to us. He is certainly not a perfect fit for them. They need a proven winner..

Then I suggest you go and lay down.

Surely if they had rolled over immediately both Lallana and Shaw would already be gone?

Love it!!

I still remember the headlines about us signing an international striker :-)

I think this is the better idea. A World Cup forum in the off-topic section would be good!

The Lallana goal against Newcastle is one of mine. The way he just picks up the loose ball without even looking, strides forwards and blasts it into the corner. Pure football genius. He needs to get more consistent with that kind of thing though if he really wants to make it as a top player.

One or two bad games and he could be the next Robbie Keane.

Agreed, I've deleted the negativity. Trying to think positive :-)

We were all blown away when Rickie was included in the England squad for the first time. Amazed that a Saint's player had actually been called up, elated the he played AND scored. Now it's just the norm + 2 more :-)

Edited - this was supposed to be a positive thread. Apologies :-)

Luke clapping around there, just in case I suppose.

Hopefully it's not the last time we see Adam for us.

My word, those commentators are idiotic. Most subbed player? Well, he must be **** then.
