Yes and Brighton want to remember they've only kept their heads above water due to the 4 rubbish teams below them, they've hardly blazed a trail, 8 league wins all season is hardly anything to write home about. And they were lucky the season before when they stayed up with only 36 points, they won't keep getting lucky. And an ageing Lallana on big wages would be a severe drain on them in the Championship.

Re: Adam Lallana
They have a bit more income than us because they charge a lot more for tickets, but their big advantage is that Bloom puts about £50m per year in as loans.
They're in a similar situation to Bolton a few years back. Their owner has lent them a fortune but hasn't converted any to shares - so someday he, or his heirs, or his creditors can ask for it back.

They don't own their stadium or training ground directly either, those and the club itself are owned by a parent company last I saw anything.

Blackburn and more pertinently Bolton are a sober reminder of what can transpire in such circumstances.

Their tickets include 'free' travel on the train from various local stations to the ground, I remember that from when I watched us there a couple of years ago the season we finished 7th.
Does anyone know if the club is having to pay the local rail companies for this arrangement?

Which will no doubt endear him to the rest of Brighton's squad and help generate an all for one/work for each other ethos at the club.

Re: Adam Lallana
It was all part of the agreement that got them permission to build the stadium at Falmer - it's not just from local stations though, it goes from Worthing to Eastbourne (west to east) and up to Hayward's Heath on the trains back up to London. It is a service offered by the club so you would assume they are paying for it.GodIsADeeJay81 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 25, 2020 11:47 pmGenuine question about the tickets though.

Re: Adam Lallana
We have dodged a bullet here.
90k a week for a 32 year old lad that has barely played for 3 seasons and to be honest has not done anything particularly spectacular his career apart from being a bit part player for Liverpool.
To be honest I find it a very strange transfer for Brighton, they could have invested the money into a really good up and coming footballer like Eze that would have a good sell on in the future

Re: Adam Lallana
Incredible deal-and we all thought the pandemic would put a degree of caution into new deals and purchases. Brighton must feel very insecure, and when their injured players come back will have a sizeable squad.

Re: Adam Lallana
I wouldn’t be surprised if this turns into a fantastic signing for Brighton.
Remember the last player to leave Liverpool for a rival club that we were linked with ended up 2nd in the scoring charts yet this board couldn’t wait to tell us how he was past it and not good enough for us.

Re: Adam Lallana
At risk of letting facts spoil a minor rant, the knock on Ings was that he had a very bad injury record and £20m was more than we should gamble on a man who might not play.MRG wrote: ↑Mon Jul 27, 2020 11:30 pmI wouldn’t be surprised if this turns into a fantastic signing for Brighton.

I one of the top players is on £90k per week, the other top players will be less happy with £45k per week.

Players want to play with good players. Lallana is a very good player. Brightons task will be to avoid relegation and if he performs well, he’ll give them a far better chance at doing that and in the long run earn better wages/contract for the other players around him.

Seems odd that West Ham, Palace or Southampton weren't in for him.
I know he wants to be south coast but an hour or two's drive isn't the end of the world.

Re: Adam Lallana
Liverpool has a habit of burning players out then dumping them
Danny Ings was the exception but Flanagan, Sturrudge,Solanke and Spearing all talked up as youngsters all bombed
Lallana is not your comparative general cm that all good sides need.At best hes got a decent pass in him on a good day,which of late have been rarer and rarer.
Fair play if Brighton are stupid enough to pay £90m on a crocked .

Re: Adam Lallana
If the Brighton players accept that Lallana is a big step above them as a player and deserves the money, then it'll be fine. If the Brighton players believe that they're as good as him and are contributing just as much to the club and he doesn't deserve twice the money, it won't. As the very least, when an existing player is negotiating a new contract, they will quote Lallana's wage as a negotiating pont.Dyched wrote: ↑Tue Jul 28, 2020 9:56 amDoes this actually happen?

Re: Adam Lallana
It probably isn't the case at Brighton but some players do have contract clauses that say their earnings always have to match the highest paid player.

Re: Adam Lallana
Brighton were one of the clubs that benefitted greatly from the lockdown as until footie shut down they had not won in the calendar year. However they finished twelfth in the post Covid table and the three games they lost were to City, Liverpool and Man Utd. Lallana may prove a good signing for them as he is something they haven't got, an EPL experienced classy midfielder.
Burnley already have Cork and Westwood to fulfill that role. So it's a good fit for Brighton and we have not missed out.
Both Brighton and Southampton could turn out to be surprise packages next season.

Re: Adam Lallana
Forgot he was playing until he went off injured.
Passenger tonight, but he's getting on abit now and has hardly played in recent years.
When he came off he looked more like he couldn't be arsed than injured too haha. Alot more chasing shadows playing in a lesser team like Brighton.
