Fer isn't the same sort of player as Lallana and isn't as good. Not that I'm saying Saints won't sign him, I just think they'll need someone else as well, so they probably will try to keep the price down.

Of course, there haven't been any substantiated rumours about Leroy moving to St. Mary's. Everyone's just putting two (Koeman's dutch) and two (Leroy's dutch) together. Goodness knows what they've mate. 10million hopefully.

Not really worth the comparison given how different they are, but give it a few years and Fer's potential far outstrips Lallana's - who has pretty much been at that level for 3/4 seasons now. But now he's in the big league people pay attention.
 
I don't really get the Lallana love, personally.

He looks quite good on the ball, with his head up and good close control, but every time I see him play he looks terribly ineffectual. Is that because he's more of a flat track bully and I've only really watched him against better teams?

Don't get me wrong, he's clearly a decent player, but I definitely don't think he's worth £27m.

Transfermarkt value him at £6.6m and Fer at £7.5m.
 
The news on Fer, Hooper and Redmond has all quietened down a bit. Guess this could be good or bad. It either means they are doing deals :-( or there have been no good enough bids :-).
 
Bedford if they were doing deals I'd guess the rumours would be rife. I wonder if we've put some people off with our asking prices.
 
Well, as I wrote that, some journalist was coming up with rumours of a £10m bid from Stoke for Redmond... would that be enough given his age and talent??
 
Quite frankly I'd want more but it would be approaching the right value. Can't see it though, I think he is very much in Adams plans and is more valuable at the club. Doubt we'd let him leave.
