Facts? other than the stuff that came from his own mouth, you mean?

They won it 5 times, you know.

Or, ''NITK' as some would say.

That's Rocket Swanie, who also said we were in for Alex Wistel. (which will also turn out false)

From what I can muster, the delay was with us not being happy with the deal. It might sound a lot, but Bournemouth will get around 6.5m of that, and I can guarantee that another £3-5m or so will be based on non-guaranteed add-ons. So potentially, we may only net 14m from this. The stories were always that we wanted to ensure we made a net of £20m on any deal - so clubs would need to be bidding upwards of £30m for him. It seems as if the club have stuck their feet in the ground hoping for more, Liverpool clearly weren't going to pay more, Lallana really wanted the move so threw everything out of the pram and effectivley went on strike - which kind of forced the club to accept the best of a bad bunch of Liverpool offers. That's my take on it.

I believe his head has become to big for even Suarez.

I reckon we're probably only going to net around £14-15m from this. 6.2m ish to Bournemouth, and probably about £5m in performance related add-ons.

Said he'd never play for the club again if they didn't allow it to go through, apparently. I reckon we've been forced into accepting a lower fee than we wanted.

Based on how he's acted, he'll probably celebrate right in front of us. Seems like a different person than the one I thought he was after all this. ''You've changed'' etc.

Welcome to the world of football transfers. The negotiating tactic is being used to full effect here.

No thanks, no best wishes, no highlights of his career. Just that 1 sentence. There may be more later, but he's ****ed off quite a few it seems.

Southampton Football Club can confirm that Adam Lallana has completed his transfer to Liverpool. The fee received from Liverpool, although undisclosed, will allow the club to further develop the first-team squad for the 2014/2015 season. that is it. Nothing more.

Never got the hate myself personally either, but these comments coming out now are pretty poor. Very poor taste. The OS statement kind of tells you what the club think of him now.

http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/01072014-adam-lallana-joins-liverpool-1708952.aspx Jeez, short, sharp, to the point. He has not made any fans, it seems.

We now have a guaranteed transfer pot of around £60m from sales, plus whatever we had already. Let's go and buy some better 'people'.

I hope he knows what's coming for him when he comes to SMS next season.....as much as it pains me to say it, he has not helped himself a single jot with any comment since the end of the season.

AL went crying to MP and NC, basically.

Not really, no, it has not sunk in if I'm being honest. I'd like to thank everyone at Southampton for what they have done for me; I have been there for the best part of 14 years. And that is the sole reference to us. There may be more later, but this is now leaving an incredibly bad taste in my mouth.

He's had a PR disaster, once again. Who is advising him? He was our captain last season, and he openly admits that now. What is he playing at?

AL: “Last season, deep down, I was thinking: hopefully one day I'll be able to play in that team. That dream is reality now.” He's not really helping himself, is he? He's been a complete PR disaster in the last few months.

Think they go straight into the group stages.

All of our England WC players - gone, even before pre-season training started. Quite a sobering thought. No more call ups this year please. Poisoned chalice for us or what.

Lower league style announcement by Liverpool. That looks so horrendous, even worse as a bigger graphic.

Liverpools breaking news twitter announcements are utterly, utterly naff. Proper lower league stuff.

Staplewood footage, the temp. huts are in the BG.
