You're probably gonna get slammed for this and I think you knew that, but I do agree with you. On an even level, sure I'd take Lallana. But considering the price disparity, Milner's ability to play a bit deeper in midfield, and the proven winner's mentality of Milner (therefore would bust his bollocks in the high press from midfield in every single game he plays), I'd certainly take Milner given our current circumstances and use that money elsewhere.

I'd sure as Hell take Milner over Lennon. I also love the idea of Milner being that impact sub late in just about any situation (press to win the ball back to spring a necessary attack or simply to give some extra grit to see out a lead). Having Lamela and Milner manning the right of our attack sounds pretty good to me.

Eriksen and Lamela?

Right ok.

Lallana different class to both. I just don't get this claim we don't need Lallana. Eriksen did ok but generally we were chronically bad in the areas just outside the box.

Even beyond that, is Milner's ability to quite literally play across the midfield in attempt to spring that attack. I think he'd be excellent in Poch's system, but unfortunately I think he'd come with a demand to start in the league and I for one wouldn't want Poch to afford him that given the need for our young talents to build with Poch's project. But nonetheless, I would genuinely love to have such a hard worker with a winner's mentality within our young squad.

Wow. Sometimes posts make me want the sweet release of death. Adam Fucking Lallana different class to Eriksen and Lamela.

Woah! Steady on. Now I rate Lallana a lot but to say he's 'different class' to Eriksen is quite ridiculous.

Eriksen is real quality and will only get better as he gets more used to the English game. Lallana is already used to the English game and his technique is short of Eriksens IMO.

Eriksen managed almost the same goals and assists in total in his first year in the prem in much less games and he's much younger

Lallana may be lower middle. Not sure of the other two.

Ha oh dear, Lallana in a different class to Eriksen & Lamela....! Cannot believe some of the tripe that gets written on here, Adam Lallana who has had one good season in a top league in his entire career and is 26 is apparently in a different league to a player who has 44 caps for his country, just turned 22 and has had a very good debut season in a new league and also to a player who has just turned 22, scored 15 goals as a 20 year old in Serie A and has struggled through injury in his first season but has been touted as one of the best youngsters in the world.

I really dont get some peoples thoughts, but hey I guess thats why the game is so good!

bryanabutler · May 31, 2014

Yes he is diifferent class, well below those two

Ha very possibly but i would rather say what i think is right than say what others want to hear, i have 5 times as many positives as neutrals and negatives combined

I love Milner, one of the most underated players of the modern era, Would love Milner at Spurs, always gives 110% and is a versatile and very handy player indeed

One swallow don't make a summer and that applies to Lallana

He could keep up the form of last season but is too much of a risk whereas Milner is proven year after year and less than half the price

yankspurs · May 31, 2014

One good season on the top level at 26 and people thinks he's some kind of great player? No. Just no. He's an okay player who will be lucky to do as good as he did this past season. Not close to being worth 15m let alone 25m, IMO. On a club like us or Liverpool, he'd be second choice and nothing more. The suggestion that he is as good or better than Shaqiri, Eriksen or Lamela is just plain laughable.

I'd take him but at 8-10m and no more. Let Liverpool blow 25m on him. At Soton's asking price, I am not touching him with a 10 foot pole.

If Lallana is worth 25 mill then eriksen must be worth 40 at least. Eriksen has been one of europe's top talents for the last 3 years. Before this season I doubt if anyone knew anything about Lallana. Don't get me wrong he's decent but not fit to lace eriksen's boots. Don't get me started on lamela, he's got the potential to be one of the top 3 players in the world, still can't believe we got either of them.
If we're spending big money it has to go on one of lb, cb, rw.

Snarfalicious · May 31, 2014

Eriksen absolutely demolishes Lallana in my opinion. 4 years younger, just as dual-footed/versatile, played for a better side and put together 7 goals and 9 assists in his first season in just 25 BPL appearances. Lallana managed 9 goals in 8 assists in 38 BPL appearances. You'd think Lallana has double those tallies judging by the asking price and how highly regarded he is (primarily because, y'know, English).

Matrix · May 31, 2014

Lallana is good. Very good but to say he's in a different class to Eriksen and Lamela is utter tripe. Wow. I will say Lallana would improve the squad. 10 x the player Siggy is.
I for one would prefer Barkley for the money being touted for Lallana, but wouldn't be against the idea of going for him.

Wellspurs · May 31, 2014

He's a good shout but wont the club shop run out of "A"s in the first week?

Mr Pink · May 31, 2014

Lallana is in the same sort of class to Eriksen and Lamela IMO. In and around that bracket anyway.

The three of them playing behind a forward could be devastating.

Hoddle&Waddle · May 31, 2014

I'd take him, not for that money though.

The mind boggles.

I'd be looking to pay between 14-17M for him.
