How much would you lot want for him? I hope we don't spend a fortune on one player

A lot more than £20mill that's for sure. He has 4 years left on his contract so we are under no pressure to sell. You will have to spend a fortune to get him.
 
Also the little matter of 25% sell on fee to Bournemouth .....just don't think Liverpool would pay the amount required to turn our heads.
 
I would suggest we adopt the same approach with Liverpool and Adam, as Liverpool did with Suarez


HE IS NOT FOR SALE AT ANY PRICE.

PLEASE GO AWAY AND STOP WASTING OUR TIME

PLEASE STOP TRYING TO DESTABILISE OUR PLAYERS

I REPEAT, HE IS NOT FOR SALE AT ANY PRICE
 
I wish I was Southampton Chairman right now then I wouldn't be worried at all. All I would have to do was create 1 email:

OUR PLAYERS ARE NOT FOR SALE YOU ****ING TWATS. I would never get tired of sending that to Liverpool, Chelsea and Man United. :emoticon-0102-bigsm
 
I'd let them keep sending them, then take great delight in shredding each and every one.

Do it serial killer style with cuttings from newspaper articles about Lallana.
 
Speaking after signing that 5 year contract last April:
"I'm absolutely delighted," said Lallana. "To commit my future to the Club for the next five years is something I'm really happy about.

"I can't wait to work with the new management team and the lads to continue our progress in the Premier League. It was an easy decision for me with the direction the Club is going in.

"I've been at the Club since I was 12 and – being honest – I can only see my future lying with Southampton Football Club.

"If someone was to say that I'd end my career playing for Southampton in the Premier League then I'd snap your hand off for it.

"I am privileged and honoured to be given the opportunity to be here for the next five years. It's something I'm going to look to grab with both hands.

"I'm honoured to be playing for Southampton and captaining the Club at the present moment, and I just hope the next five years don't go as quickly as the previous five!

"I can't wait to get going and to continue playing for this club."

Surely things haven't changed that much Adam.
 
Exactly, even if he does have his head turned, he still loves this club and wouldn't be disruptive if we denied him a big move. So why would we ever sell him?
 
It might be that before he was only getting offers from midtable teams, while now he realises that every club in the league would want him and he could play regular first team football in the Champions League.
 
In the end the only concrete sources are randomers from twitter, and Sky's Alex 'boring' Crooks.

Neither of which are reliable.

If nothing has been said then there is no story.

Well, they have. Then there was constant talk of ambition and top 4. Now the future, although clearly very solid, does not quite show the same clear, ruthless ambition that Cortese made a trademark. It's uncertainty, and Adam is, quite frankly, of that age where he might be starting to peak, and he has to want his best years of playing to be winning titles and whooping ass around the grandest stages in Europe.

We really shouldn't understate the other side of losing Cortese. He constantly preached ambition and progress. People stick to that, and when the leadership is now a little more: "Well, slow down now lets see how this goes." It's a big ****ing change.

Now given all this, I do see potential for him to move, maybe this summer. However I'd like to think he'd be sensible enough to give Lex Luger and Co. a chance to show their intended level of investment and commitment first, by moving late-on in the window or even in January.

We shouldn't be accepting bids any time immediately, but to be honest, if he had given it some time for the board to show something, and he'd expressed a desire to leave, I'd want to make something happen for him. You can't argue he should be denied it.
 
Good for him if he decides to stay and good for you if you tell us all to **** off, haha! A stronger Southampton is better for us, means you can take more points off our rivals ! ;)
 
Not being negative, but anyone who keeps saying that no-one will go in the summer are probably the same people saying we will get CL in the next couple of seasons. Not saying Luke & Adam definitely will go, but people need to open their eyes that it's definitely a possibility. And more of a probability.

It's a possibility sure. I don't know how you can say it's probable though - virtually all the evidence we have points to them staying, anything else is purely speculation.
