S-Clarke Posted 16 July, 2012 Share Posted 16 July, 2012 Hear reading are talking to clyne also after agreeing a few with Palace. They don't need to agree a fee. They could do it to make it easier for themselves in the long-run, but they don't need to agree a fee as he's free to talk to anyone. They are also pushing very hard on the Chris Gunter deal, that's moving quickly. FWIW I heard they wanted to try and Hijack the Clyne deal, but the fact that they're now pushing forward on Gunter suggests that they were too late. So in a round-about way, that's potentially a positive in our court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itchen_dan Posted 17 July, 2012 Share Posted 17 July, 2012 After saying the other day the fee had been agreed at £1.5m, the guy from the South London Press has changed his stance today. RichCawleySLP: Fee for Nathaniel Clyne has not been agreed between #cpfc and Southampton. Two clubs are still negotiating. RichCawleySLP: Told that #cpfc value Clyne at £4million. Now there is the normal haggling that goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Saints Posted 17 July, 2012 Share Posted 17 July, 2012 Palace chariman was on Talksport last night saying Clyne was at training with them yesterday and nothing was imminent but maybe things have progressed since then.

Why go for an interview for a job you've got no intention of taking? Because you need to go for Interviews (in football) before you find out what they are offering.

Mowgli Posted 17 July, 2012 Share Posted 17 July, 2012 He might mean something like this from the Christmas HCDAJFU thread.... :~)) Zaha and Nathanial Clyne are both on Man Utd's shopping list. Much as I like the new dawn at SMS I don't think we can compete with them just yet. Mock away. I'm delighted that we can now seriously link ourselves with players like Clyne. It's similarly amusing to see some of the targets we thought were a 'statement of our intent' now becoming anonymous figures in the lower leagues.
