Puncheon to the rescue?

Your wrong.

 

It was actually...

 

KEVIN:

'@jasonpunch would be nice to swap you and cash for jordan' (rhodes)

JASON PUNCHEON:

'@saintkev1211 got more chance winning the lottery than that happening'

I wonder if he meant Rhodes will never join Saints or he will never join Huddersfield? It matters not. Glad you posted that. So much made up **** about JP on the board it's not true.

Give the guy his due, if you read his tweets and re-tweets, he really doesn't seem to have an attitude, nor does he seem to 'have it in" for SFC either......seems like he's ready to let bygones be bygones etc. He even re-tweeted someone who said " If you want saints fc to be in the prem, RT". Fair play to the lad.

it's not TOO MUCH money, it's the fee we set that matters and if they haven't got the werewithal to pay it - they should keep quiet and not go into print on the matter.

 

If he ends up in a Prem.club then he'll be a bargain at anything less than £1 million - hope we get a sell-on clause in any eventual deal, too.

Puncheon's agent has an interesting balancing act to perform - on the one hand he wants to get the transfer fee as high as possible to maximise his cut, but on the other hand he doesn't want the price to put potential purchasers off.

 

His current stance of stating that Blackpool's offer wasn't unreasonable "for a player currently training with the youth team" shows which side of the equation he's leaning towards

 

Ole Jase must be wishing he hadnt queered his pitch - example well and truly set

It never ceases to amaze me about the comments made by so called fans that can only be a hindrance to the clubs efforts in signing or selling any of our players. There are those who never cease to rubbish players, their evaluation or abilities, thus ensuring other clubs, their supporters aren't prepared to pay the money we desperately need. Puncheon was worth more than a million but besides his own input, some Saints Web members are just happy to pour on fuel and allow him to become worthless.

 

What type of society do we live these days where we're so quick to destroy, ridicule and write off a person, a player and fellow supporter.

Can't believe Blackpool are so poor in the transfer market. Don't they know that if you want to sign a player you have to just get on with it and pay whatever amount the selling club ask for? They should have stumped up the £1m on January 1st, none of this fannying around.

We have had this £1m tag on his head for too long now. Clubs will not meet it, as we've seen window after window....which is why he ends up going out on loan on deadline day.

 

Fair play to us for sticking our feet into the ground and wanting the most though, at the end of the day it's no loss either way for us. We either get what we want, or he goes back out on loan has a potentially good spell and then ends up being worth more. He won't be playing for us again anyway, I'm pretty sure of that.

But not a very good way to treat a player I would have thought

 

It maybe a reason why players do not want to come here if they think SFC do not treat their players well

I'd say he was worth 1 million back in the day, when he was hitting hat-tricks for Millwall, then went to the Prem with Blackpool and looked good.

 

The QPR stint didn't do him much good at all - I'd take 500k now.

Seems we have TURNED DOWN a bid of 650k for him.

Would think - if this story is true - we are trying to squeeze a few more £k out of Blackpool. £750k may be the figure NC has in mind. Also, reading their comments on their weblink above, they think Tom Ince could be impacted if JP comes in. If they would let Incey come our way, even on loan, that would be an attractive proposition.

Hmm. I think the anecdotal evidence of that already exists...

 

Thing is I mostly agree with the way he does things, we run our business in a not too dissimilar way, however football is different and a vast % of other clubs don't do business in the same way (just guessing).

 

I couldnt care less if we spent an extra million on Hooper for e.g if he helps secure a massive pay day in May.

We would have to give Puncheon and a million (maybe more now) to get Phillips from Blackpool...

 

Should have got Phillips from Wycombe before Blackpool..

 

Quite right. You want Puncheon? Fine. We'll give you him and some token wedge for Matt Phillips.

Nice to see that potentially our negotiating tactics are hindering the capture of players.

 

You are a bore Hypo, yet more evidence of your WUM status, why the hell should we give the player away for peanuts. Yet on the other side of things, you want us to spend over the odds for players, surely on a wind again!

I wouldn't sell him to any rival club tbh,you just know it will come back to haunt you.

If your not going to use him keep sending him out on loan (with clauses) to run his contract down hopefully this will send out a message to any other potential fools who think they can mug us around and then just happily jaunt off to another decent contract.......im a great believer in bringing the power back to the clubs.

Thats just plain embarrassing.

His agent clearly wants him out the door. I think someone got it spot on earlier when they mentioned that it would improve a rival and NA doesn't want to do that. He hasn't been out on loan to a team in the same league as us yet, and although NA/NC don't like him, they both know he is a handy player and would do damage to us if he went somewhere else. Something they have got to sort out. Give us Matt Phillips in return and they are welcome to him.

1 million is a fair price for a 25 year old who had a good season in the premiership. Have no doubt that we will get that price for him.

 

£1.5m is a fair price for a reliable 25 year old who had a good season in the premiership. £650k is a fair price for an unstable 25 year old who had a good season in the premiership but with a history of problems at a succession of clubs and who Saints are keen to get shot of.

I agree with this. I suppose if we don't need the money then we shouldn't sell but I don't see us getting a much better offer. Doesn't seem to make much business sense.

according to Puncheon's agent ..Blackpool manager Holloway made a " reasonable offer" - £650K apparantly - for his player who (he says) Saints don't want.

Whatever our intentions, every player has a price and even £1 million isn't THAT much for a player (the agent says) is sought after by " several Championship clubs " ....so where's the problem?... if those "other " clubs want him equally badly ...then we'll get our money eventually.

 

I'd also like a sell-on clause because IF - Puncheon does do well and eventually moves onto the Prem..then even £1 million would like like a "steal ".

 

I'm more than happy for Cortese to hold out for the full sum.!

Add on top 'wasted' wages and that £650k seems very fair. If we were playing him, or even having him warm the bench, his wages wouldn't be a concern and we could hold out for more. But we're paying him to train with kids - kids who are above him in the pecking order - which is a waste. Even on a modest wage, it wouldn't take long to eat into the difference between £650k and £1m. Not to mention harmony at the club, which has to be considered.

Just out of interest, where has this myth arisen that Puncheon had a good season in the Premiership? I believe he made a total of 11 appearances for Blackpool in half a season, and scored 3 goals. He has since made 2 apps for QPR. He has actually had a handful of good games in the Prem, maybe half a dozen in total. Reason they are after him now is because they could see that he might be half decent in the Championship. He really has not shown much as yet to suggest he is premiership quality.

A players value is what anybody would be prepared to pay for him. (Just like buying and selling houses.) Puncheon is overpriced if nobody wants to sell him and underpriced if a lot of clubs want to buy him.

 

The idea that there somehow is the "right" or "correct" price for a player, or for that matter a house or any other commodity, belongs to fantasy land. Estate agents valuations, for instance, are based on recent sale prices for similar houses. So if we could think of somebody very similar to Puncheon (poor and unwilling passer of the ball who repeatedly runs into trouble, as I remember him) and find out what they sold for, then we might be in the right area.

 

Think of the clamour on here to sell Pulis. How can you sell somebody which nobody wants to buy. Hence we have still got Forecast.

 

If I was a manager in the two top divisions I wouldn't even sign him on a free. Not that I am, and thank G for that, but maybe it might put things in perspective.

He's been out on loan so - I'd assume, we haven't been wasting any money on his wages. We can always farm him out again if need be.

his wages were paid for and QPR paid a loan fee as well. I have to say unless that 650,000 was based on appearances and promotion etc. I'd of thought we would have taken it and moved on. I just wonder how much we paid for him in the first place. Perhaps a lot higher than first thought.
