Anyone else excited at this potential signing? I think that he has what it takes to play for us consistently. There's always one season wonders and I thought that he would be one but this season he's just gotten better and better. I'd love to see him in the team linking up with Suarez, Sterling and Studge. Lallana is by far my favourite player outside of Liverpool in case it wasn't obvious.
What's everyone's thoughts?
Adam Lallana

Lallana would be good for around 10million, anymore than that and we should enquire with barca about fabregas, he wants out, they want him out, the fans are booing him and if uefa take the opportunity to show ffp has teeth they will need to sell to buy, considering the whole neymar legal wrangle..
I'd be surprised if fabregas goes for.much over 20 million considering the situation and a 20 mill fabregas would be better than a 20 mill lallana, given the big game/club/CL experience he will bring. Lallana will be making quite a jump which should be considered, could take time to adjust like Hendo/Allen
Alberto should go on loan to a lower prem team, give him a season to show what he is about.

Fabregas for £20m
£35m minimum.

You realise the fans actively boo him when he steps on yo the pitch right? And that he has told them he wants to leave and that he has been told to look for a club?
Players in those circumstances don't often transfer for more than 20million.
He also has just three years remaining on his contract, moved to barca for 35mill in the first place and arsenal have a clause in place where they can buy him back for 25 million if barca accept any other clubs offer, and if arsenal don't get him they get 50% of any transfer fee above the agreed 25 million.
To circumvent this barca have even agreed they are willing to allow fabregas to buy out his contract (20million euros

Facking phone!! Hit send before I was finished:
And it's 21 million euros (three years at 7 million euros a year)
Essentially even.if.they wanted the full amount the paid for him, arsenal can undercut it by 10 mill and if.fabregas moves to the other team anyway barca lose 5 mill of the fee!!
He's not wanted there, he doesn't want to be there. It's been made pretty clear he is leaving and as I said 25million is the max they will get.for him now, but they were (allegedly) willing to let him buy out his contract (just over 17 million pounds)

I think you are wrong and have been reading too many scurrilous rumours.

OP, what do you make of your names sake? I have big hopes for the Tex, maybe he needs a season out on loan first though?
Really strting to live up to the hype after back issues.

What happened to Yesil - he was a finishing machine when he first joined, then got injured and it all went quiet. Has he just been injured the whole time or did he go off the boil as well?
