doggface Posted 16 July, 2010 Posted 16 July, 2010 There have been a few threads with concerns about lack of incoming players, but I would consider it a major success & boost to keep hold of our best players:- Lambert Lallana Schniederlin Fonte Must admit most concerned about Lambert who is virtually irreplaceable at this level IMO. So far so good then...... Yes with their sales we could strengthen in other areas - but these guys proved this season they are/can be the best in this league which is vital to our promotion hopes. If Cortese can keep the vultures away this season he will have done very very well. Thoughts?.........
djharvey Posted 16 July, 2010 Posted 16 July, 2010 Agree, so far so good and excited to see full squad at start of season. Think there will still be a few movements, even after signing butterfield!
Arizona Posted 16 July, 2010 Posted 16 July, 2010 Fonte only signed 6 month ago. I can't see why he'd be even leaning against the exit door.
Turkish Posted 16 July, 2010 Posted 16 July, 2010 the only one i thought would go was Schneiderlin, he seems happy though, so far so good.
BadgerBadger Posted 16 July, 2010 Posted 16 July, 2010 No one would dare exit the NC regime without being invited to do so
Saint_clark Posted 16 July, 2010 Posted 16 July, 2010 I didn't think we'd sell anyone. I suppose I mean I don't think we'll sell anyone. Window isn't shut yet...
saintscottofthenortham Posted 16 July, 2010 Posted 16 July, 2010 I was thinking this earlier when reading the idiotic "Not Worried Yet? You should be!" thread. Hats off to the Management of our club. There is no doubt that enquires would have been made for AT LEAST 2-3 of our players (Lambo, Lala and Spiderman) and thus far... they are still with us.
offix Posted 17 July, 2010 Posted 17 July, 2010 they were loaners, but Antonio and Papa will be missed

musesaint Posted 17 July, 2010 Posted 17 July, 2010 We are no longer a selling club and I honestly think none of our key players will be going anywhere We will only sell if the offer is tooooo ridiculous to refuse ...not even sure the old argument of "you can't stop the player" will apply ...I suspect Cortese is the type who'd rather let a player "rot in the reserves" than leave against the club's wishes How things have changed
beatlesaint Posted 17 July, 2010 Posted 17 July, 2010 Only disappointment for me is that Antonio hasnt come back............yet ! Perhaps AP has something better up his sleeve for RM/impact sub.
saintwarwick Posted 17 July, 2010 Posted 17 July, 2010 IMHO Lallana and Schneiderlin WILL move up to CCC or Prem You are correct, to the ccc after this coming season and the premiership a couple of seasons later, that is how long it will take us to get there
saintwarwick Posted 17 July, 2010 Posted 17 July, 2010 they were loaners, but Antonio and Papa will be missed Antonio yes but not Papa, he didn't set the world alight and most of his goals were in the cup. Hopefully Cortese/Pardew are working on getting Antonio back but even if they are not I will trust their judgment on who they bring in. That Oxley chap looks very promising anyway.
Joesaint Posted 17 July, 2010 Posted 17 July, 2010 Very happy with all that is going on and looking forward to a hopefully great season! COYS
ericofarabia Posted 17 July, 2010 Posted 17 July, 2010 Don't forget to add Connolly to that list. Fingers crossed that he stays injury free, as he is most certainly a class above most players in this league f'sure.
opthomps Posted 17 July, 2010 Posted 17 July, 2010 I agree, its a great point. So glad if we start the season with Schneiderlin, as I thought he might want out, as was the rumour last year. Shows he believes in what the club are doing if he and the others stay. 1 more CM and ST will really put us in pole position.
alpine_saint Posted 17 July, 2010 Posted 17 July, 2010 I agree, but I keep hearing how there is plenty of time for us to bring new players in, so there is plenty of time for those 4 players to receive good offers and f**k off.
Cricketphilly Posted 17 July, 2010 Posted 17 July, 2010 I agree, but I keep hearing how there is plenty of time for us to bring new players in, so there is plenty of time for those 4 players to receive good offers and f**k off. What size club are likely to buy them out of interest?
hypochondriac Posted 17 July, 2010 Posted 17 July, 2010 No one would dare exit the NC regime without being invited to do so Lol.
Dellman Posted 17 July, 2010 Posted 17 July, 2010 Lallana and Schneiderlin WILL move up to CCC or Prem
