Ok, but he had served us well for quite a few seasons. You can't seriously compare VVD and Adam's contribution to the club.
Just yesterday I was checking out an old smartphone and found this picture on it. It did make I chuckle :
He wasn’t alleged, he did it in a much publicised interview in the December (from memory) before declaring his love for the bigger pay cheque at Liverpool 5 months later
Very good haha. As I said before, it seems a fair few people have their minds made up already! Im not saying he is completely innocent and that he conducted himself perfectly. I just think the level of hatred from some is ridiculous and unwarranted. Also probably worth pointing out he was told he would be leaving Southampton long before the summer. Deal was pretty much agreed between agent and both clubs months before he left. The issue was Saints going back on the deal and changing their minds - presumably because of other players wanting out. Hence why he was a bit pissed off.
We’re football fans, that’s what we do.... until given other info to digest (still nothing really forth coming) Is that all the club did wrong? This doesn’t change what pissed me off.... approx 6 months after signing his new deal and “snapping our hands off” to stay here, he wanted out. Your choice of words is interesting... “He was told he would be leaving.....” making it sound like Saints wanted to ship him out rather than the agent and Lallana wanting a move to Liverpool and so they had the two clubs speak. Seems you’ve made up your mind too Edit: actually, if he was told long before the summer, then he must have sought that move just after the ink on his contract had dried.
They can still sell players, although not being able to sign any will probably make them unsure on moving players on....
