Adam Lallana

[Grey Fox]

It's a good job we didn't spend money like this (twice) on players who didn't deliver.

Patience boy, patience.

Really liking the way the bin dippers are going after English talent, let's hope their performances start to mirror the national team....
£25m though? Bet Bournemouth are chuffed!

Spending the suarez money in advance.

Good player and he'll do alright for them. Not £25 million worth of alright though...

 

[Shanks]

shaw ain't worth 30mill though either, but both young decent english players.

Good luck to them, but will Rogers be able to replace the ability of Suarez

Lallana isn't young. He's 26 - he'll be 30 by the time the next world cup comes around. Also, he's older than:

Ozil, Bale, Di Maria, Aguero, Neymar, Sanchez, Balotelli, Muller, Sturridge, Hazard

I'd say 26 was young.. not child like young, but coming into prime young...

God I'd love to be 26 again....

Young in the grand scheme of life maybe! In terms of a football career he's entering his peak

To me under 23 sort of age is young in footballing terms.

Me too pal1

Although at least I get to grab a 27yr old each night, I'll take that instead!

Does that come with some "fountain of youth" style properties then? Maybe Rolf was onto something...
