He's surprised me in the market this summer, to be honest, because you'd think becoming a CL team, at long last, would open the doors to a superior pool of talent and instead, he's gone for average, intra league players despite losing one of the best players in the world.
It's a valid argument to say the top class players won't go there, but there's plenty of others a tier or two below that would.
Lallana doesn't seem to be that highly rated, to be honest. Deserves a crack at a bigger team, but probably not a CL one.
Maybe he'll prove himself a revelation there, who knows. Can't see it though.
