For £30m we could buy Konoplyanka and Ricardo Rodriguez. He is a tidy player, but he is being massively overvalued.

I think some are underrating how expensive Rodriguez is going to be. He was one of the best LBs in the world last year.

Could your head be further up your own arse? I swear you didn't used to be this pompous with your opinions. 'Nobody can have watched Soton as much as me if their opinion of a player is different'. Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, like I give a fuck if anyone is doubting how much I watched Southampton.
Same Rodgers that is going after Lambert, yeah? Same one that bought Borini, Aspas, Joe Allen for 15m?
Anything over £20m is ridiculous for Lallana, especially considering he is rapidly approaching 40. I'm done discussing him anyway, any time I dare say this guy is overrated there's some mild hysteria. We'll see next season, I guess. If he does amazingly well, I'll be the first to hold my hands up and say 'good 1 m8, well done'.

You quoted my post in the first instance in a patronising sort of way, what do you expect you muppet.
And approaching 40 lol

I didn't intend to be patronising. I will bow to your opinion. You are the fountain of all football knowledge. I'll get Lallana on my next shirt, even if he doesn't sign for us. I'll call my first child Adam, even if it's a girl.
Pls dunt call me a muppet, that hurt my feelings.

It's getting a bit tetchy in here!
I understand those not wanting to blow our whole transfer budget on Lallana, but I don't get those that say we don't need him or a player of his type.
Eriksen can't do it on his own. I like Holtby but I'm sorry Lallana is a level above him.
I don't know how anyone can watch us and not conclude that we are way short of passing ability and intelligence in the final third. The more players we have like that in the squad the better, particularly if we are to play this supposed "high energy, attacking and fluent" football that Poch is supposed to bring.
Yes we have other priorities ( LB, CB and CF) but we still need more creativity.

Holtby is a better passer than Lallana.

Not from what I've seen. And even if that were the case, Lallana more than makes up for it in goal scoring, crossing, first touch, skill on the ball and football intelligence. I like Holtby and wouldn't like to see him leave but Lallana is simply a better player imo.
The though of him, Eriksen and Lamela behind Ade or Lukaku/Bony is very tasty indeed. It's all about quality in the final third for me.

Lallana is a good player but he is not worth 25 mil and I would be disappointed if we spent that much on him.

Wolfburg are asking for €18m according to the media.
Personally think he is quality. Watched him a number of times last season and he would improve us no end irrespective of price. In the end it's not my money (well actually part of it is due to my season ticket).

Isn't Griezmann and Alexis valued around the same price, although nether would probably come to us I would say they are better players then Lallana and worth 25 mil. I just think that is way to much money for a player who has only really had one great season. I think we need to strengthen a few positions and spunking 25 mil (could even be more if Southampton play hard ball) on one player is a bad move, unless of course he is world class which Lallana is not.

It's okay mate. I like to help people who don't know what they're talking about.
Anyways, in re: to Lallana and other options, he's still a solid option. He's better than the likes of Shaqiri and Kono, whilst Alexis is almost nailed on to go to Juventus imo. Griezmann could end up at PSG or someone of that calibre too. Not realistic sadly.
