I see lallana could be on the way back. I never understood the hatred for him leaving. Sure he could have stayed but it was a time when everything was being sold and striped apart.
To me he will always be one of our own and though is best years are behind him I'd still welcome him back and take a gamble on him. If for nothing more to have around the club day to day and build on the feel good factor. A good team atmosphere comes from having people who know the club and he does.
Hopefully the news is true.

Our posts must have crossed (see below) and I’m like you - I would welcome him back.

Saw him sitting next to Le Tiss at Wembley. I would welcome him back.
I think we should prioritise experienced Premier league players and hungry championship or Scottish league players, before rolling the dice on the under 21s or foreign league players.
I would rather 3 to 5 proven players than 10 moneyball signings like the year before.

Lallana as a player = No for me, heard he might come in as a player/coach. That might work if we are paying him as a coach.
Ben Johnson = Yes, decent age/experience
ABK and Duje Caleta-Car = I would love ABK back but somehow can't see it happening. Will probably get Car back but I am undecided, I don't think we saw the best of him. THB and Bednarek should be first choice. Jan has heaps of experience and wasn't to blame for the deffense IMO . We were weak down the flanks and didn't defend as a team.
Clyne = 33 for a fullback? Not sure, great experience, I would probably take that punt if the wages are reasonable.
Ings = No way, we gambled once and won, he can finish but can he keep up, I doubt it. We will be playing on the break a lot of the time, I can't see it working.
Chris Wood = Maybe if we swap RM for Big Sam! No thanks.
Bazzunu, I don't understand the hatred for him amongst some. He has been asked to play in a particular way and he has, personally think he has been brilliant in coping with that. We could have Courtois in goal with our back 4 and the way we play but we would have had similar problems. nb. if we had play like that in the prem we will be embarrassed on a regular basis. But we wont, we will play more like we did against leeds. We needed to play like that against lesser teams to draw them out.
Transfer Priorities for me will be a ball winning /holding mid and a fast atheletic striker with a better finishing ratio than Che. Get Broja permanent if possible I really think he has a future and he hasn't really shone yet.
