I have it on good authority that saints where not going to sell lallana to liverpool and wasnt going to carry on negotiations as the deadline had passed.

Lallana then made a huge fuss about not being able to leave and Koeman stated that he didn't want him at the club if he didn't want to be here so approved him to leave.

I shouldn't be posting this but I hope people realise lallana is far from the respectable person people though he was. Other storys I've heard are how arrogant he is out of all the other players. When they visited the hospital he demanded xbox ones for him and the other players so they were not bored this also happened at a photoshoot. Also many players like lambert and fonte etc would spend a long time signing autographs for fans who waited though lallaba would only sign one or two and walk straight into the stadium as he "couldnt be arsed"

Im not bothered he's gone my only conerns now are will anyone else go and will the replacements be gambles or proven quality.

I also have some inside knowledge of Lallana, before he arrived in Brazil he was not pushing for a move and was quite happy at Saints. Something has happened in the last 7 days to change his mind. I cannot comment on any of the above post.

Surely there must be some way we can demand the return of the player of the year award? I'm thinking some sort of West Quay 'Christmas lights spectacular' only with more torches and pitch forks. Seriously I haven't felt this put out since I got my brother to sit my driving test. And he still didn't bleedin pass.

Likewise I cannot comment on the top post and nor would I. I had heard that he had been pushing for the move and had been unsettling people.

That aside, I wish him all the best. He has done us proud and wants to better himself. I can understand that.

whats wrong with him wanting to further his career with a big club,get over it

6.) 27 Jun 2014
^Kevalle, I agree completely however like many I think it is the manner in which it occurred after all the badge kissing/ chest thumping celebrations & signing a 5year contract stating he would see out his career at Saints. It just seems a tad disrespectful & almost sticking two fingers up at us fans. I don't begrudge anyone wishing to further their career but there are better ways of going about it i. e luke shaw. I bet Danny Ings wouldn't be this disrespectful (he's from Netley you know) coyr

7.) 27 Jun 2014
Am I correct in that he will now still get his "loyalty" payments from the career defining 5 yr contract that he saw out a year of?! i'm a big fan but surely saints have viided that in some way. Would almost suggest the same for Shaw.


OR was that one of the reasonw for signing big long contracts, so that the club could ask for shed loads if clubs came in for them?!

8.) 28 Jun 2014
Reading stevo comment I knew he could go with out mentioning Danny ings have u got some sort of weird fetish about the bloke stevo??

9.) 28 Jun 2014
Confirms what I said previously. There was a story about Liverpool changing their interest away from Lallana because of the high price tag.

This was a tactic to unsettle the player and it clearly worked, given all the timings discussed above. And a tactic to force Southampton to reduce the fee.

Players and agents decide transfers nowadays, not clubs. Clubs can't afford to keep unhappy players

10.) 28 Jun 2014
That is incorrect, I think

11.) 28 Jun 2014
Well i'm working off scraps of info but thete is deffinatly something wrong behind the scenes.

Does anyone know what jesus had said about the reason him and mopo etc left was because KL planned to sell within two years?

Also lovren apparently said something on twitter that was quickly deleted but outraged a lot of people what was that about?

wll sorry to post this
just reading todays paper
morgan schneiderlin says he has told saints he is going when he gets back from the world cup
if koeman gets 100 0000000 is that going to be enough to replace those player that have left
lovren is definetly going which makes it even worse
thats more players left saints than what have left the 3 teams that got relegated
WHY IS THAT OVER TO YOU LES REED FOR ANSWERS

I think the problem with that statement forestsaint is 'just reading today's paper' journalists are out to make stories from nothing. No need to worry who and what we hae until the end of the transfer season. With some wise moves in the market we can replace shaw and lallana if he does leave.

15.) 28 Jun 2014
If it is true about Lallana ten I suggest that if he scores against us that everyone in the crowd who is a Saint should turn their back to him. Out of all the players leaving I am very disappointed in him, especially after what he had said in the last year etc about wanting to stay at Saints. I would be very disappointed too if Morgan goes too, Ricky I can understand plus at his age the money we got was good business, But Lallana has left a tter tastein my mouth

I done think there is anything "going on" behind the scenes at the club at all. In my opinion we are getting ready for the next phase. As Saints media recently stated that the funds would be reinvested for Roko to build HIS team for the coming season & years to come. Yes we may be in for a bit of a conildation season but in no way will we be relegated. With Lambert, Shaw & soon to be lallana gone we have just pulled the pants down of those clubs doing the buying. I've no doubt we will do the same with spider & lovren when the time comes. Remember, before the world cup spider was not a full international at senior level. In the space of 6 weeks his price tag has gone up insanely. In fact the increase in price may work to our advantage in pricing him out of previous clubs range? In my opinion we are learning from the lessons of last season i. e lack of squad depth & using the "self sustaining" model we are selling some key players at top price to fund the next core group of players to take us forward. Yes, next season is hardly going to be better than last but I think we are building for something bigger & better. I'm excited.

19.) 28 Jun 2014
Why the excitement Steve, if we uilt something bigger and better, the big clubs will just come along and do the same as they have done now. Unless this club becomes a big club then I don't see it ever changing. I cannot understand how Saints cannot become a big club, very club started small, even Manchester United etc, its lack of ambition and passion from the club and fans that holds us back, let's face it we only have 15000 season ticket holders, if the fans showed more commitment i. e double that, then maybe someone might come in and take us further, I don't see the Leibherrs doing this I'm afraid
