Adam Lallana was rather different. He had been with Southampton since the age of 12 and was the club captain. In winning four awards at the Player of the Year dinner, Lallana spoke publicly of how Southampton meant the world to him and suggested he wanted to stay. Liverpool's first offer arrived shortly after and, according to one source, Lallana "flipped like a burger" once he knew that they were in for him. Southampton then felt that Lallana behaved arrogantly in pushing to leave. For his part, it is understood that Lallana felt the club were not communicating with him about his future plans. The club waited until Koeman was in place and the World Cup was over before making final decisions and, after turning down several offers, agreed a £25 million fee with Liverpool.
