SamKimish Posted 8 May, 2010 Share Posted 8 May, 2010 Ignoring this ridiculous thread, I thought I would start a positive and more factful thread on the best player on the pitch today. It really showed how much the club means to him when he scored his 20th goal of the season. I don't know if anyone else noticed but Lallana wanted to take the penalty but Rickie wasn't having any of it and the upset showed as Lallana trudged back to our half slowly as the rest of team celebrated. No one deserves the record of 20 goals from midfield more than Lallana. He has consistently been the player putting the most effort into the games for Saints throughout the season and I genuinely see a bright future for him at St. Mary's. COYR!

IamLeGod Posted 8 May, 2010 Share Posted 8 May, 2010 Here here. I don't know what truth there is in any speculation. So rather than add to it would like to voice my desire for him to stay and become an integral part of the future of our club. He has the potential to become a firm part of the history of this club, and I certainly hope he fulfils that potential both on the field and off.

Brilliant player, brilliant season, still loads of potential. He and Rickie will fire us through the divisions, enough said! COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintsforlife7 Posted 8 May, 2010 Share Posted 8 May, 2010 So true, by far our brightest player today. Kept twisting and turning his way out of trouble and trying to play our normal game. Had a fantastic season and glad he got his 20th of the season and he looked quite pleased to have got it. Extend his contract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony F Posted 8 May, 2010 Share Posted 8 May, 2010 Adam had a quite excellent day today and was the prime difference between the teams in my opinion. Strange that he was so poor last week and had to be subbed at half time (I was not there but the feedback was all very negative). Maybe just an off day and everyone is allowed one now and again....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted 8 May, 2010 Share Posted 8 May, 2010 Lallana was quiet during the first half but he came into the game more in the second period. Absolutely delighted that he notched his 20th goal of the campaign too, especially after Rickie refused to let him take the pen. I'm in the 'Lallana will stay' camp and I think that today just shows how committed he is to Saints. If Pardew was to go though, then I think the situation could be very different.

Joensuu Posted 8 May, 2010 Share Posted 8 May, 2010 I left the game more concerned than before about Adam. He was superb today, clearly the best prospect in the league. He will have undoubtably attracted attention from bigger clubs, and I'm just a bit worried about how much he celebrated, how much he wanted a goal today, the way he wanted to take the penalty, it all just seemed that there was something special about scoring today, in a meaningless game. Why did he want to score today so much more than he seemed to in previous games? Then he seemed to walk a bit behind the other players when doing the lap. I'm probably reading too much into it, but I'm still a bit worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine he was so desperate to score as he didn't want to end the season on 19 goals. 20 is a pretty massive milestone for a midfielder,espically at that age! I really hope he stays, he's come on leaps and bounds this season. Can't believe Wotte didn't rate him,what a fool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaSaint Posted 10 May, 2010 Share Posted 10 May, 2010 didn't he get a massive bonus for scoring 20 goals - hence the huge celebration? I wouldn't be at all surprised if he was on a goal bonus in these incentive-focused days. That suggests that they fully intend to keep him at the club or else they would have pulled him and saved the bonus money. That sort of thing is not entirely unheard of at SFC.

Lallana is on a Rupert Lowe style contract I think. It was reported last season that he got quite a lot for each goal scored. I think £3000 might have been mentioned but that's probably not quite right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more the milestone TBH. Long after he's hung up his boots, he can tell his grand-kids that he scored 20 in a season, much more memorable than 19. I would imagine in AL's case it's akin to scoring a maiden century at cricket and not being stranded 99 not out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
