Saints ready to sign Robert Green


CLOTH EARS

Recommended Posts

He's definitely better than KD and would have liked him here but £50k p.w is complete madness so it's time to look further.

 

QPR need their heads looking at, they are going to bankrupt themselves if they carry on like this.

 

Football has to get back into the real world.

Whatever you are on, isn't working.

 

Oh my God, how much simpler do I have to make my point before you are able to comprehend it? One last try:

 

fact = fact

 

99% fact = not a fact

 

100% fact = abuse of the English language

He really is, by almost every comparison.

 

Ok but he's not a big enough improvement over KD to fork out extra cash on. He won't gain us anymore points. He was woeful last season and is only in Poland/Ukraine by default. Really don't understand the love in for Green on here.

He's available on a free transfer, so we wouldn't have to fork out for him. Wages are the only question mark; but any experienced keeper at PL level is going to demand high wages, so I'm not sure how much of a factor that can be.

I don't think we're in a position to offer anybody £50k a week, with all the new FFP rules coming in we need to be cautious with the wage structure.

 

Wont they also apply to QPR then who it seems are able to do this?

It seems our Champions League expectations could be in jeopardy if QPR can outbid us, and £50K per week is out of reach for us.

 

tsk, youre stuck in an Askham mindset. We all know players will join us because of Corteses vision and money wont come into it.

Let's not forget the outstanding training facilities, which are getting better as we speak. Players always mention it when they sign - they must be willing to accept less money for the vision and facilities.

so QPR paying him 2.5m a year wages....but getting him on a free. I bet if they sell him in a year they'll get their dosh back.

 

Then how come no other clubs have come in for him? Nobody else wants to pay Green £50,000pw now so QPR will have no chance of shifting him in a years time and earning a fee.

I'd rather we try getting Fraser Forster, good at Celtic on loan, only 24, wants to play PL football and Newcastle want to sell. Wouldn't cost much fee wise or wages wise either.

 

Absolutely agree with this option. Needless to say he was great for me on Football Manager..........(Which seems the only way people rate players on here!)

He's not particularly great and his agent has already said he's off to Celtic.

How is Green being better than Davis or vice versa anything other than an opinion?

 

They're very similar IMO, which means little sense in investing heavily in Green for potentially minor improvement. 2 of the best Championship keepers, one already here, liked by fans and used to our setup.

 

I'm sure we'll sign 1 or 2 keepers but can't see it being someone like that.

 

Meanwhile WH sign Jussi. Used to think he was quality but seemed to really lose it the last 18 months or so.

 

Pretty much spot on. Apart from Green being a minor improvement ;)

Either the Mirror or the Mail are reporting that Norwich are in for Butland and that we've had an improved offer turned down, one of them has also stated we're in for the Celtic keeper that was at Newcastle. Do you think they copy everything from various forums?

You've got to wonder if they do. In the age of instantaneous 24/7 news including social media, journalists have a hell of a job on to grab a story noone has previously tweeted/posted/facebooked about already meaning they are often rehashing old news.
