Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana says he
regrets how he secured a transfer away from
Southampton last season, as he prepares for
his first return to St Mary’s Stadium this
weekend.
According to Soccernet, Lallana, who had
been at Saints for the previous 12 years and
helped their rise from League One into the
Premier League, left under a cloud as he
made it clear to the club that he immediately
wanted to move to Anfield when made aware
of their interest.
The 26-year-old took out a full page advert
in a newspaper thanking Southampton fans
after he secured his 25 million pound move,
but the gesture was not well received by
some on the south coast and he has
conceded the manner of his exit could have
been better handled.
“I’m not stupid enough to think the way I left
didn’t leave a sour taste in a few people’s
mouths,” Lallana told the BBC. “The way I left
I regret, I regret bits and pieces of how it
happened and it got nasty. It was sad the
way it happened.” source :punching.com
