um pahars Posted 1 October, 2008 Share Posted 1 October, 2008 Nice. Very nice. Lowe's academy. Lowe's find. Lowe's exciting young term. Another England international brought through his ranks. Lallana actually blossomed whilst Lowe was away. It was all Dulieu's & Crouch's hard work that has got him to where he is now. They nurtured him and resuced him from obscurity and introduced him into the first team. His first team debut was under Ken. His October 2006 contract was overseen by Ken. His well crafted loans were under Ken. His first goal was under Crouch. It was all the hard work, vision and determination of the Dynamic Duo and their ability to spot a diamond amidst the rough that made Lallana the player he now is.:smt041 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted 1 October, 2008 Share Posted 1 October, 2008 Well done to Lallana. he deserves it for his massive improvement, performances and the potential in which he has to be a big star. I do feel a bright future for Saints but at the same time, our prized assets will be sold to avoid administration, unless we are fortunate to get investment but i have my doubts about a takeover happening.. will Rupert take a gamble and not sell what is great at the club at the moment or wont he. January will be a worrying time for us Saints fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Martini Posted 1 October, 2008 Share Posted 1 October, 2008 I don't really get the "he'll be gone by January" obession. Sure he's in demand and I'm sure several clubs will come in for him but I doubt if we'll let him actually leave in January. We'll tell the clubs they can have him from this summer for the same price. This of course does depend on Lallana not making a fuss but I doubt he will do that this in January already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliemiller Posted 2 October, 2008 Share Posted 2 October, 2008 Could you explain to us how Rupert Lowe found Lallana ? Did he stand on a cold and wet touchline in a park in Bournemouth about 6 years ago and spot him personally then ? A bit of information you might be interested in , Adam was scouted by a lovely guy called Dennis Holley and another who will remain unamed as it will only cause a row. Denis sadly passed away five years ago dying from spinal cancer. The other scout is still around and scouting for saints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West End Saint Posted 2 October, 2008 Share Posted 2 October, 2008 Well done to Adam he is our best player by a mile and a deserved call up I think we are watching a new Le Tiss I hope he and the club show the same commitment to each other and we can continue to see this outstanding talent develop to his full potential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be crap. Why the hell spend 1.5 million on someone like Schneiderlin if you value Lallana at 2.5? Anyway, I don't think I believe that rumour.

Weston Saint Posted 9 October, 2008 Share Posted 9 October, 2008 In view of the Fulham rumours on here I emailed a respected friend and Saints supporter who has contacts. He has spoken to Adams Agent who is unaware of any Fulham "deal", nor is Adam. He would like to know where this rumour came from so anyone like to PM me with a name? Clearly if it was a done deal Adam and his agent would have known. I am told Adam wants to play for Southampton. He sees his future development here and is happy with his 3 year contract.

um pahars Posted 9 October, 2008 Share Posted 9 October, 2008 Why not, what do you have to hide apart from the truth, if it is true that is. Probably for the same reasons why many (including Weston Saint for instance) won't reveal their sources on here. If people don't post their sources up here (and they are well within their rights not to), then your only option is to judge them on how you perceive them in this anonymous, geeky internet world.

benjii Posted 10 October, 2008 Share Posted 10 October, 2008 The U21 team is a settled side that has not lost in normal time for 21 games (I think) - hardly likely to mess with it in a vital play-off by throwing in someone who's had a quarterish of an ok season in the Championship.
