Matthew Le Tissier Posted 22 May, 2011 Posted 22 May, 2011 Don't shoot the messenger but I have it on very good authority he is going to Manchester united!! Apparently it's a done deal and contracts have already been signed. Shame
hypochondriac Posted 22 May, 2011 Posted 22 May, 2011 Don't shoot the messenger but I have it on very good authority he is going to Manchester united!! Apparently it's a done deal and contracts have already been signed. Shame Not a shame if we get good money and maybe a player in exchange
Thedelldays Posted 22 May, 2011 Posted 22 May, 2011 Don't shoot the messenger but I have it on very good authority he is going to Manchester united!! Apparently it's a done deal and contracts have already been signed. Shame usually people posting such things would get shot down..but you have come out with nuggets in the past... shame
sfc4prem Posted 22 May, 2011 Posted 22 May, 2011 Shame. Hopefully we got a tidy sum. Anthony Pilkington please.
saint lard Posted 22 May, 2011 Posted 22 May, 2011 Does that mean we get Owen? Really think he would have been better served staying for a season in the NPC. Shame if true,as long we have driven a hard bargain and got a good deal out of it. Let's hope we invest in some talent and spend it wisely.
Amesbury Saint Posted 22 May, 2011 Posted 22 May, 2011 Very disappointed. Hoped we would keep him longer. Good thing I have not bought my ST yet! (only joking)
Colinjb Posted 22 May, 2011 Posted 22 May, 2011 If true, so be it. Just so long it's resolved early so we can take the funds and reinvest.
Rusaldo Posted 22 May, 2011 Posted 22 May, 2011 Shame. Hopefully we got a tidy sum. Anthony Pilkington please. This please NC. Get the check book out.
Thedelldays Posted 22 May, 2011 Posted 22 May, 2011 if we get good money...which we are bound to...this could fund the next two seasons push for promotion.....
Panda Posted 22 May, 2011 Posted 22 May, 2011 Very disappointed. Hoped we would keep him longer. Good thing I have not bought my ST yet! (only joking) Please, please remember that this is pure rumour and speculation - nothing more.
Thedelldays Posted 22 May, 2011 Posted 22 May, 2011 Please, please remember that this is pure rumour and speculation - nothing more. the OP deffo knows people at the club.
Viking Saint Posted 22 May, 2011 Posted 22 May, 2011 sizeable fee up front, plus sell-on fee or appearances/International caps fee, plus Owen coming our way please....can still do a job at CCC level.....
Thedelldays Posted 22 May, 2011 Posted 22 May, 2011 sizeable fee up front, plus sell-on fee or appearances/International caps fee, plus Owen coming our way please....can still do a job at CCC level..... with his eyes closed..he is playing for man u right now....I think he is good enough for about 15 premier league sides..easily
johnnyboy Posted 22 May, 2011 Posted 22 May, 2011 To the op . Can you divulge anymore on this please ?
Wes Tender Posted 22 May, 2011 Posted 22 May, 2011 A pity that we couldn't keep him one more season, but although improbable, not beyond the bounds of possibility that we can loan him this coming season as part of the agreement. However, he is only one player and for the fee we are likely to get for him (and the millions to come from selling Puncheon ) we can get in several higher standard players to help take us to the next level in the second division.
Badger Posted 22 May, 2011 Posted 22 May, 2011 If true, then its a great shame, and double disappointment if he has signed for manU. If it is the case then lets hope NC has tied up a mega deal, and we spend it wisely. As others suggest thenPilkington would soften the blow (when he's fit again).
Matthew Le God Posted 22 May, 2011 Posted 22 May, 2011 10m + Owen and Hargreaves?! How can out of contract players be included in a deal?
EBS1980 Posted 22 May, 2011 Posted 22 May, 2011 After AOC saying he was staying after our last game of the season too.
Ewell Posted 22 May, 2011 Posted 22 May, 2011 Until it is on the O\S then I shall file this as a 'rumour' despite the fact that nearly everyone else believes the OP. I still fully expect Chambo to leave this summer though and if he doesn't it will be a massive bonus.
Deppo Posted 22 May, 2011 Posted 22 May, 2011 He better see this deal through, otherwise he will get a reputation as untrustworthy. If I remember rightly, he signed for Arsenal in January and managed to welch on that deal and carry on playing for Saints.
MarkSFC Posted 22 May, 2011 Posted 22 May, 2011 Its obviously disappointing if true but unlike with previous chairmen/boards I have no doubt that a)we will get a very good fee, b)most of it will be up front, c) there will be a sell-on clause and add-ons and perhaps most importantly d)it will all go back into team strengthening.
Saint_clark Posted 22 May, 2011 Posted 22 May, 2011 Regardless of whether the OP has been correct in the past, this is still just a rumour.
