Adam Lallana

I'm sure the lawyers were digging into every dot and cross to ensure Bournemouth only got the initial fee cut. That's why the saga dragged on for so long in the summer.

You may be right BC and if so it is a ****ing shabby way to do business, no wonder lower league teams charge a premium when players move on, it is like dealing with sharks

It is, but sadly there are very few morals in football or business, it's all about the bottom line, and I imagine most clubs these days would check all the fine print of the contract and try to maximise their profits by using whatever 'creative' means they can.

Looking the business. Now watch him get injured turning out for Ingerlund.

Getting up to speed now after a slow start, understandable after he missed most of pre season. No doubting his talent but I wasn't keen on the price. If Markovic is a 20m quid player while he's as raw as he is then its hard to quibble with Lallana's price!

Was really pleased when we signed him, he's going to be one of our best players this season.

Match sharpness is kicking in nicely.. been a breath of fresh air since arriving. Constant work rate, pressing and closing but also great link up play and guile around the box.

[Muddled]

He's so poised and so balanced. He rarely gets flustered in possession, he's intricate, neat, has great vision and is more than capable on either foot. He's selfless, hard-working and offers a goal threat ... a great purchase.

Cum face. And by the look of Gerrard he aint all that impressed with the mess!

And Lovren with a What Am I Doing Here face.

[Buzzo]

At least one of our Southampton buys is doing well. He looks a great buy, and you can only imagine he will get better.

Kalkan

[Vermilion]

Liking Lallana, very skillful, well balanced, aggressive going forward yet willing to take on defensive duties also in equal measure.

Think he'll improve too, or his intigration with his team mates will anyway, which could mean some awesome football.
