Weston Saint Posted 18 July, 2012 Share Posted 18 July, 2012 I am flattered by the support but as Ottery says I will survive. I was only answering another posters enquiry. Obvious I know, but he did ask! I keep away from controversial posts. It does no good engaging such people and only feeds their obsessions. Good signing when complete.

pap Posted 18 July, 2012 Share Posted 18 July, 2012 News just in from the game. Happy Clappers United 10 - 0 Dell Sized Mentality City "It's men versus boys out there" Seriously though, nice signing if true. I love our transfer focus at the moment; pluck young talent that can do a job now and have got room to grow in the future. The fact that a lot of them are English is even better. They're going to rocket in value if they do well. Bit of a gamble on youth/and or former Championship players, but much prefer this approach to the one QPR took.

St Chalet Posted 18 July, 2012 Share Posted 18 July, 2012 I have it on trusted authority it is £2m, a chunky sign on (if it is 500k then this explains reports of 2.5m) and Palace retain a 20% sell on clause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Chalet Posted 18 July, 2012 Share Posted 18 July, 2012 Strange that they can insist on a sell on clause when he is out of contract? They are free to negotiate or let it go to tribunal - as are we. I would imagine that it suits both parties to agree now as it gives Palace wonga to spend in the window and us certainty on the fee. Daniel Sturridge is a good example of where sides couldn't agree and it went to a tribunal. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/8460232.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 18 July, 2012 Share Posted 18 July, 2012 Seriously though, nice signing if true.

They're going to rocket in value if they do well. Bit of a gamble on youth/and or former Championship players, but much prefer this approach to the one QPR took. Our signing strategy might work wonderfully - it might fail miserably I suppose - but whatever the outcome I'm all for giving it a go. We could build a team (as many others have) based around established Premier League players looking for a last big pay day before they decline, but our way - the Southampton way - looks a better way to me. Virtually every player we field this coming season - Lambert/Lallana/Schneiderlin/Rodriguez - will take to the pitch having something still to prove in the game, this season will be the biggest moment of their careers so far for most of them. An enticing prospect if ever I saw one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will play for England in the next year. Composed on the ball, very, very quick. Technically incredibly gifted and a very good reader of the game. Only 20 as well. Regarded as one of the best young english full back around. You don't come close to signing for Man Utd for being average, put it that way.

An enticing prospect if ever I saw one. I don't think we'll fail miserably. I'm fully expecting to get a couple of hidings, but hey - there isn't a team in the Prem that hasn't had a good thrashing on an off day. We'll only go down if we're consistently bad, and I'd back this team to do better than that. If we can survive this year with this group of players fully blooded and experience to draw from, especially if we see the sort of improvement we've seen in the likes of Lambert, that's going to be an excellent first season back, imo. You're right though. Every player has got something to prove. Can't wait. Particularly looking forward to the games against the scouse teams.

hypochondriac Posted 18 July, 2012 Share Posted 18 July, 2012 (edited) Really good signing but I hope people don't go on and on about how United wanted him.

Maybe this played a part in United not coming back for him http://www.metro.co.uk/sport/football/893963-nathaniel-clyne-close-to-penning-shock-manchester-united-deal Manager Sir Alex Ferguson was confident he could get his man, only for the player's agent to pull the plug on a switch to Old Trafford at the last minute, believing better terms would be offered as a free agent in the summer. The decision annoyed Ferguson, but he has maintained an interest We all know that Fergie can be stubborn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dig Dig Posted 18 July, 2012 Share Posted 18 July, 2012 Very happy to have beaten Man Utd to the signing of this player.
