Adam Lallana
£25m doesn’t exactly represent a bargain deal for a 26 year old creative midfielder who is yet to be tested on the biggest stages of European football but Adam Lallana is that kind of player for whom age would never matter. As two-footed as they come with the balance of a ballerina and a tireless worker in midfield – Adam Lallana is exactly the kind of player who Rodgers would try and pair up with Jordan Henderson on the opposite side of the pitch.
Close control that would bring a smile on the faces of the best in the business, Lallana demonstrates an exceptional calmness in tight situation using his magical feet to conjure up a chance from virtually nothing. Though fee might be a little over-priced for the former Saints skipper, Liverpool have got themselves a creative attacking midfielder who is comfortable doing all the hard work for his side while creating chances when in possession. If Brendan Rodgers’ spending spree this summer was based on the idea of replacing Luis Suarez’ contribution to Liverpool in different individuals, the Reds boss can rest assured that Adam Lallana has got the creating chances bit covered for a number of years.
