Saint_clark Posted 5 December, 2008 Posted 5 December, 2008 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/articles/article.php?page_id=11029 Obviously no direct quote so far, but excellent news nonetheless.
Saint_clark Posted 5 December, 2008 Author Posted 5 December, 2008 Gone in the transfer window then To be honest I thought he would leave. Not so sure now - neither Walcott or Bale actually said they would stay at Saints. I am 99% certain Surman will stay.
Dannyboy_Saint Posted 5 December, 2008 Posted 5 December, 2008 Unfortunately it may not be up to him whether he stays or not. If a premiership team comes in with a £1.5m+ bid for him would the board really turn it down? Unlikely in my opinion. The likelihood of us keeping our young stars relies entirely on us being able to shift the old ones first.
It's There Posted 5 December, 2008 Posted 5 December, 2008 Apart from the money issue, why would a young player, playing in his first full season, playing attractive football where he is appreciated, playing with friends he's grown up with.. want to move? He's still earning more than his peers in other professions, knows he is popular and could become a talisman for the club like MLT- and he can always move and earn mega bucks in the future. He's on a long contract too. I think he will stay, regardless of money offers for at least another year.
Bailey Posted 5 December, 2008 Posted 5 December, 2008 I know for a fact that Lallana, Surman and even Schneiderlin are more than happy at Saints. None of them are wanting to leave but obviously, if some club comes in with a massive offer then we'd have to consider it. At least we won't have a repeat of the Kenwyne saga, and it's good to know that our players are totally committed to the cause.
Scudamore Posted 5 December, 2008 Posted 5 December, 2008 where does he pledge his future? In the programme. Which you should buy i guess...
The Tango Man Posted 6 December, 2008 Posted 6 December, 2008 Unfortunately it may not be up to him whether he stays or not.

Long Shot Posted 6 December, 2008 Posted 6 December, 2008 Apart from the money issue, why would a young player, playing in his first full season, playing attractive football where he is appreciated, playing with friends he's grown up with.. want to move? He's still earning more than his peers in other professions, knows he is popular and could become a talisman for the club like MLT- and he can always move and earn mega bucks in the future. He's on a long contract too. I think he will stay, regardless of money offers for at least another year. Prepare yourself for a big let down if I were you! If he has an impressive December he will be gone by Jan 31.
NickG Posted 6 December, 2008 Posted 6 December, 2008 fear the worst but genuinely don't know. Remember the guarantees posted on here in the summer that they were all gone and not single player in. A lot post their predictions on here as fact, when its not.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 6 December, 2008 Posted 6 December, 2008 I know for a fact that Lallana, Surman and even Schneiderlin are more than happy at Saints.

At least we won't have a repeat of the Kenwyne saga, and it's good to know that our players are totally committed to the cause. No one will come in with a massive offer because we publicised the fact that we are supposedly skint so if we recieve offers they will be lower but tempting enough to take. We have to keep the players together or we have no chance...simple really.
Windmill Arm 2 Posted 6 December, 2008 Posted 6 December, 2008 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/articles/article.php?page_id=11029 Obviously no direct quote so far, but excellent news nonetheless. Off he goes to Arsenal in the window then.
musesaint Posted 6 December, 2008 Posted 6 December, 2008 IMHO whether he goes in the transfer window will be the acid test of Lowe's true intentions to "re-build" the club Having watched the kids all season I think they could do incredibly well given time .....provided we can keep them together!
SuperSAINT Posted 6 December, 2008 Posted 6 December, 2008 It's great news, but. Bale didn't want to go, neither did Theo -- UNTIL someone makes an offer. Then they want to go. Why do most people forget this
Plumstead_Saint Posted 6 December, 2008 Posted 6 December, 2008 I think [and hope ] they'll both still be here come February. The big clubs don't buy players who are not quite the finished article, in January. It's not like they will be brought in to turn around a failing season - they offer potential, not a seasoned pro's battling abilities or morale boost. Premiereship clubs will appreciate letting them play another 5 months first team football here and then swoop in the summer.
Legod Third Coming Posted 6 December, 2008 Posted 6 December, 2008 You really have to take this with a pinch of salt. If you have an asset that someone values, you never say you want to sell it - otherwise you lower the price. If he pledges his future here, that also ups his sell-on value.. and so on and so on... But, the guy is playing regular football among a bunch of lads who work together as a team with a fantastic ethic, under a coach who is instilling the very best type of football into them, who seems like a really honest, genuine and decent man - a guy moved to tears let you not forget by our support at Reading! Ultimately, this will always come down to what the club and player think is best for both - finances, career, international chances, etc. But let's just hope in the spirit of the new world post-credit crunch that people start to place less value on money and more on happiness.

The likelihood of us keeping our young stars relies entirely on us being able to shift the old ones first. But the Beetroot-Faced One said to the Echo this week that we never get rid of players against their will, its always them that want to leave. Surely he wasnt lying ???:shock::shock::shock::shock::shock::shock:
OldNick Posted 6 December, 2008 Posted 6 December, 2008 Off he goes to Arsenal in the window then. watching the Arsenal youngsters the other night, I dont think they need to pay a fortune for lallana
OldNick Posted 6 December, 2008 Posted 6 December, 2008 IMHO whether he goes in the transfer window will be the acid test of Lowe's true intentions to "re-build" the club Having watched the kids all season I think they could do incredibly well given time .....provided we can keep them together! as this new way we are doing things is Lowes baby he may want it to be a great success.He knows that the best price realised will be in the summer or the following window and so it is probably best if we keep him.Unless someone comes in with a mega offer Ill be surprised if Lallana goes if not
paulwantsapint Posted 6 December, 2008 Posted 6 December, 2008 One of Lowes few good qualities is he loves to p155 off the rest of football when he sells players so if he does sell a star he will demand a good price & try gettin buyer to loan the kid back deffinatly till summer & poss beyond

Mr X Posted 6 December, 2008 Posted 6 December, 2008 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/articles/article.php?page_id=11029 Obviously no direct quote so far, but excellent news nonetheless. Anyone would be a fool to read to much in to this, I don't know why they do this kind of spin, we've had loads of players utter the dreaded "I want to stay at this club" a couple of weeks/months later there gone. Who was the last player to pledge their future to the club hmm let me think................................................................ Andrew davies
Mr X Posted 6 December, 2008 Posted 6 December, 2008 Please list them he delivers first class catering
Third Division South Days Posted 6 December, 2008 Posted 6 December, 2008 wait and see who's on the injured list for the man u game!
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 6 December, 2008 Posted 6 December, 2008 he delivers first class catering Just one then....bit of a short list isn`t it?
Thedelldays Posted 6 December, 2008 Posted 6 December, 2008 Just one then....bit of a short list isn`t it? who gives a ****..?
um pahars Posted 6 December, 2008 Posted 6 December, 2008 The acid test will come when Spurs wave a 4 year deal worth 5 million in front of him and then they whisper 3 million in Lowe's ear. Nice to hear he doesn't want to go, and as others have said, I think he could benefit from staying here longer, but pretty soon actions will need to speak louder than words. (PS How the fccuk do I get the pound sign to appear rather than the ### sign whenever I press shift 3???)
NickG Posted 6 December, 2008 Posted 6 December, 2008 it maybe keyboard language settings in control panel?
um pahars Posted 6 December, 2008 Posted 6 December, 2008 it maybe keyboard language settings in control panel? £££ Thank you very much indeed.
