Kenwyne Jones

[SB]

Moving to Stoke for a fee of 7 million, what have I missed?

At one point Liverpool where interested in signing Jones with Sunderland saying they wouldn't sell for less than 50 million..

Injuries and Sunderland having a number of decent strikers

[farawaysaint]

I think you mean Sunderland.. But Jones never fulfilled his potential for whatever reason and is now just a decent PL striker.

[Scummer]

Obviously loves red and white stripes.

[Andy_Porter]

He's also a complete ****, Bruce probably wants rid.

 

He wouldn't speak to Cisse when he was at Sunderland, they passed the ball to eachother something like six times during the season with four of those being centres...

[Huntingdon]

Any player who threatens strike action to get away from Saints will always be a tosser IMO

[saint_stevo]

Sell-on clause?

[Rory]

Another former Saint goes to Stoke then.

[Saint Fan CaM]

All ex-Saints gravitate to Stoke. It's the law.

[SB]

Jones, higginbotham, delap, Beattie, Fuller, best put a bet on them to be relegated.

[Doctoroncall]

Obviously loves red and white stripes.

 

So he only needs to join Sheffield United, Brentford and Exeter to complete the set (unless I missed one!).

Athletico madrid ??

 

 

 

TBF, this will be a good move for stoke and jones, the way they are set up and play i can see him scoring bucketfulls there.

[SuperMikey]

Agree with S_S, Jones will be prolific with Stoke. A big, strong, physical player like him suits Stoke down to the ground. He's pretty damn quick too. They've got themselves a good deal there.

Don't forget Andrew Davies

Lincoln, Cheltenham ?????

Sell-on clause?

My thoughts entirely...

It wasn't even going on strike that bothered me, but to try and explain his actions and bringing up the Puerta as his reasons for going on strike was disgusting.

[Rebel]

he has a bad attitude - a lack of commitment if you like

 

he still chickens out of 50-50 balls and fails to go the extra yard for the ball

 

a big time charlie

[Paul Chuckle]

I'm sure I have read on here before that we waved the sell on to get Stern John instead???

[Smirking_Saint]

Probably, such was the old routine, forcast anyone ?? Why we lost Bale and Walcott oh so cheaply.

 

Then again without Stern we may have been relegated earlier.

[david in sweden]

Obviously loves red and white stripes.

 

good observation, Scummer...after Stoke there is ..Sheff.Wednesday and ? ...who else has R/W stripes ..?

[Arizona]

No doubt this latest move was inspired by the death of Adam Stansfield.

Wednesday played in blue and white last time i checked ??

If the £7m is true it shows what ludicrous inflation there is in transfer fees once a player has played for a team in the Prem, or Euro equivalent. Jones is worth a fraction of that and personally I wouldn't do a straight swop for him with Lambert, but clubs are mesmerised by the so-called 'top level' tag.

[Pancake]

My thoughts entirely...

 

Correct me if Im wrong, but wasnt it stated that we "called in" all sell on clauses during Administration?

[toofarnorth]

Lincoln, Cheltenham ?????

 

Cheltenham have been solid red for a few seasons now, although traditionally striped.

I don't quite follow as he is supposed to have gone from Saints for £6m having barely played in Prem up to that point.

 

As for sell on, if there is one, surely that would only apply to the profit on the deal (compared to £6m purchase price) which sounds like it's not a lot?

[SaintNeil90]

Didnt they say at the time that the Stern John deal was completely seperate and nothing to do with the Jones deal?

[saint_stevo]

No doubt this latest move was inspired by the death of Adam Stansfield.

 

Um.....?

[Arizona]

Um.....?

 

When Jones left Saints last time he gave the death of a Spannish LB as a reason that he should, 'seize the opportunity' and move on. This despite the fact that Jones went on strike 4 days before the Spannish player died.

I dearly miss him pulling on his shirt as he has the best body I have ever seen..made me a very happy female, I really miss him but not for footballing reasons...

Obviously not seen me at the gym then petal.

No sell-on clause, chaps.

This sale went through at the time Mr Lowe was not with us ... before he came back.

I found an article earlier where he bemaons that if he had been with the Club when Jones (and a couple of others) were negotiated, he would have put in the sell-on clause. However, he wasn't and hence no sell-on clause in this deal.

Yes, odd that a bid of 15M was declined last season and now a deal of 7M is about to go through. Something has happened that made Mr Bruce keen to make the sale go through now!

Pretty sure you're wrong as we recently pocketed wonga from a sell on following JVD's move to Wolves.

Maybe there wasn't a brown envelope in the offing last time?

 

Tongue firmly in cheek!
