Premier League 2014/15
It's because of the way in which he pushed the deal through.stevequal wrote:Somewhat surprised by the level of animosity Southampton fans showed towards Lallana. He was at that club a long time.
The general belief is he threatened to go on strike unless they sold him to Liverpool - something he has denied, but with no real conviction, suggesting there's a great deal of truth in that
He said in the press last week "There were a couple of false claims saying that I’d (threatened to) never play for the club again."
The guy played for the club 16 years, while other players headed off to more glamorous clubs. Think he deserves more respect personally. It wasn't as if he was wanting to join Portsmouth.
I can understand the anger towards Lovren, but not Lallana.

Maybe, but many Saints fans believe Lallana changed as a person after breaking into the England squad
Mark Clattenburg even said it to Lallana on the pitch during a game. At the time, Saints were angry and threatened disciplinary action against Clattenburg, but the sands of time shows he was probably right.
It's difficult for a club like Southampton when their players report for International duty, especially when they find Liverpool players are on £75k+ per week and they are earning 1/2 or 1/3 of that at Saints

Got no respect for Southampton after that. How could they possibly boo players that helped get them into the position that they find themselves in now? I suppose at the end of day they got what was coming to them. All I hope now is that they (fans) and that smug manager who thinks he's God's gift (like LVG does) come crashing back down to earth. Come on West Brom, go get 'em!
I can understand it. Saints fans wanted Rickie Lambert to fulfill his dream but the others were like rats from a sinking ship heading for the nearest desert island filled with cash.
Have people forgotten how half our team headed for the door in the summer? You can have that happen and the fans sit there and not say anything.

In hindsight i imagine alot of them probably wish they had stayed. At the time Southampton were tipped for relegation and it was Liverpool who had nearly won the league and were in the Champions League.
Southampton are alot like West Ham where you look at the squad you could have had if everyone had stayed. Losing your best players to warm the bench at bigger cubs is something so called lesser Premier League teams have to suffer unfortunately. Hopefully things will change.
