Glasgow_Saint Posted 25 April, 2014 Author Share Posted 25 April, 2014 Shaw does have a few offers, nothing done tho, including improved offer from saints. Lallana just had work done at hos house so surprised to hear what I did but that comes from an agent. Thanks for the updates Crab. Good to have you on the inside Any news on mopo staying?

Sour Mash Posted 25 April, 2014 Share Posted 25 April, 2014 Lallana, 25m to United, done deal, welcome to the new era, at least they write nice letters. Lallana just had work done at hos house so surprised to hear what I did but that comes from an agent. So an update from an agent you know, is it an agent working for Lallana or Saints?

Georgie Posted 25 April, 2014 Share Posted 25 April, 2014 Lallana just had work done at hos house so surprised to hear what I did but that comes from an agent. I had also heard he had work done to his house. But then when you are earning as much as he probably is it's not really going to matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shurlock Posted 25 April, 2014 Share Posted 25 April, 2014 Not saying its wrong -just can't see Lallana being a priority. Even after they've shored up their CM and brought in a LB and another CB, they'll possibly be looking for pace on the wing. They just bought Mata and with Moyes gone, Kagawa might get a new lease of life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 25 April, 2014 Share Posted 25 April, 2014 (edited) agent that has some Saints players, not Lallanas though Slightly cynical devil's advocate hypothesis coming up... Adam's agent to another agent: "I'm banging my head against a brick wall here with the hierarchy at Saints. I'm trying to engineer a move for Adam so I can get a bit of a pay day but they say they won't let him go. I've got a bite from Man Utd but Saints won't play ball and Adam's happy to stay if the club want him to. Any chance you could start leaking a few "done deal" stories for me amongst your contacts which will hopefully rattle a few cages and give the situation some traction?"

moonraker Posted 25 April, 2014 Share Posted 25 April, 2014 The Utd story is prefaced with the lack of manager issue and this leads me to treat the whole story with a degree of scepticism. I cannot believe that they would spend £55m without any input from the man who will manage them next season. If speculating then I think both AL and LS were Moyes targets and in the absence of any other Utd transfer stories and the journos need to keep Utd headlines going this story has emerged, not totally impossible but without a permanent manager highly improbable.

The Nice defender is valued at £7m.' Depends whether you count Monaco in France really they play in the French league, Kurzawa is probably the best left back in France although some might tell you that it's the young Digne (but they're PSG supporters and their opinion certainly doesn't count, he never plays so how would they know that anyway).
