Ex-Saint Olly ready to tell all on Lallana

ADAM LALLANA ADAM LALLANA

OLLY Lancashire is ready to provide his own report on good friend Adam Lallana’s strengths and weaknesses as he prepares for his first match against Saints since his release from St Mary’s.

Having established himself in Walsall’s first team in recent weeks, the 22-year-old defender, left, helped his side climb off the bottom of League One with an eye-catching 1-0 win at Charlton on Sunday.

Now he is aiming to keep Lallana quiet when Saints visit the Banks’s Stadium this weekend.

“There aren’t many players in this league with Adam’s ability so it will be good to play against him,” said Lancashire.

“We grew up playing together and I speak to Adam a lot.

“We’ve chatted on the phone this week but if the manager wants me to tell the boys about his strengths and weaknesses I will do.”

We should never have let Lancashire go. He might well have become the defender we need in the future.

It would appear to me that the two teams are Poles apart. Once we Ghetto into our stride they would stand a cat in hells chance.
Lechs get behind the team and storm troop to a great victory

We don't need any sh1t from down the road. Only class players from higher leagues please.
The only thing I want to see us get from our neighbours is 3 points when we play them.

Last night I drove past an advert announcing a popular over-50's travel and financial services company has diversified into offering alpine sport holidays in Poland. It's the first time I've seen the word SAGANOWSKI up in lights for a very long time.

(This is not only an awful pun but it is also one that requires a) an awareness of the influencial film director Krzysztof Kieslowski and b) the knowledge that he was Polish. I think it may be time to go home.)

On OS, NA saying they have eye on a some players but may have to wait till the summer. I know all the reasons..can't force people to sell, no point in buying the wrong man etc, but I'm losing my nerve. I want new players. I'm in that dangerous position that you get in the January sales...can't find anything so you buy that orange jumper with a green fringe. I'm starting to twitch so must go and lie down.

Uspokój się Fran. On jest stosowanie takich samych zasad, na rynku transferowym, jak robi na kontuzje. On zawsze mówi, że pozwalając opozycji, kto nie gra, może dać im przewagę, a on jest po prostu staramy się wykonywać swoją pracę w "poufnych" sposób. Pogłoski będzie latać bez względu na ciszę NA's.

Calm down Fran. He is applying the same rules, the transfer market as he does to injury. He always says that, by allowing the opposition, who does not play, can give them an advantage, and he is just trying to carry out their work in "sensitive"way. Rumors will fly regardless of the silence of FOR's.

That's a translation back to English.....now that doesn't make sense.
