Would you be pleased if the Hammers signed Adam Lallana from Liverpool?Yes, would be a good signingNo, he isn't good enough |
Due to the 32-year-old’s contract at Anfield being set to expire at the end of June (per Transfermarkt), the English midfielder would be available to the Hammers on a free transfer – if the Reds do not offer him a new deal.
However, after the transfer link was shared to the London Stadium faithful on Twitter (via @whufc_news), supporters continued airing their disapproval.
Oh hell no

Well he’s got a shocking injury record so we must be in for him?

What do we think?
As can be seen in these responses from West Ham supporters, they are not keen on the idea of signing Lallana from Liverpool on a free transfer.
A 6.34/10 average rating in the Premier League this season, which has made the 32-year-old the fifth-worst performer for the Merseyside club (per WhoScored), may suggest that these fans are right to be dismissive.
