King Jela 20,364 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 They could have got Shaqiri for £15 odd million and he is miles ahead of Lallana no matter what the English media would have you believe.Lambert is nothing more than an average English striker he had a decent season last year but he isn't anything special and to pay 8 odd million for someone his age was ridiculous.Can I will give you.£4 million for a striker that had a goal ratio of 1 in 2.5 games for Southampton over the last 2 seasons. Good bit of business. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goianegra 4,682 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Yeah because they were so weak last season taking a title challenge eright to the final day of the season If they manage to get Can and add to their defence I see no reason they can't have another good Season even with Champions League football.

wully 47,423 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Lallana has been at Southampton for 14 years, having joined the club as a 12-year-old from Bournemouth, who hold a 25% sell-on clause.And an Everton fan according to Football Manager.

The CL can cripple a club with injuries.Lambert was clearly brought in as backup for lower key games.As far as I am concerned lallana is a decent all round attacking mid but he is worth no more than 12-15mil for the output he provided, not 25mil which is overpaying by about 10 millionShaqiri is a MUCH better player and bayern will probably sell for less due to him wanting first team action Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be shite against crystal palace one week, and then run the show against Man City the next. I reckon Brazil wanted a couple of more solid players to play in behind the likes of Neymar and Oscar.

Think they're main concentration will be finishing top 4 again. Not a massive fan of Lallana either, but he's an improvement in their midfield imo. Having him and Coutinho isn't a bad thing.Am I missing something about Shaqiri btw. Has he been transfer listed? I will agree, even before he went to Bayern I thought he was brilliant. Would be a coup for any PL club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
