swannymere Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 On loan until the end of the season and then a permanent transfer, who'll be the target of the hate mob now?
Window Cleaner Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 On loan until the end of the season and then a permanent transfer, who'll be the target of the hate mob now? Guly and Jos I expect, same as always.
disconnect Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 Thanks for the service Danny. Was good in the promotion season and was part of some very good team performances since. Are we bringing in another left back??
Saint Charlie Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 Made some vital assists in the promotion season and always gave 100%. No shame in not being good enough for PL football. Hope he does well. Always remember that Shaw said Fox has given him the most support of any player in our squad. Deserves respect for that.
St.Patrik Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 Surely not - Clyne can cover that spot so no other needed really.
a1ex2001 Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 slightly concerned about the lack of left back cover if Danny has gone, I know most people think he's rubbish but who else do we have? are we saying that the next in line from the youth team is ready?
Saint Garrett Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 Key part of our promotion, not good enough for the Prem, wish him the best of luck for the future - Lallana's best mate as well!
St Chalet Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 Good luck Danny. Honest pro who lacked the positionall awareness to continue with us in the Prem. Lallana put him in his personal XI Saints players and he has been a great help in developing Luke Shaw.
ben05 Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 Quite Sad to see him go to be honest. Yes he wasn't Premier League standard but he was a big character in the dressing room. Some great memories of him on the last day against Coventry on peoples shoulders. That tackle in the snow at Birmingham, that goal at Arsenal. He may have lacked in ability but he always gave 100% and played for the shirt. Good luck Foxy
berkshiresaint Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 A great servant to the club, maybe got more hassle than any other saints player. Top bloke though by all accounts. Good luck to the fella.
ericb Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 On loan until the end of the season and then a permanent transfer, who'll be the target of the hate mob now? As far as i saw it Danny Fox was never "targeted by the hate mob" he was quite simply nowhere near good enough for the premier league and nearly everybody could see that/got frustrated by it. Of course that doesn't fit into the general hyperbole that this place is so found of, where you either have to be with something or against something (a bit like the Mccarthy trials in the states).
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 slightly concerned about the lack of left back cover if Danny has gone, I know most people think he's rubbish but who else do we have? are we saying that the next in line from the youth team is ready? I imagine with the emergence of Chambers the plan would be to stick Clyne at LB in the case of Shaw being injured/unavailable. Also, is this the one out MP hinted at post-Arsenal?
trousers Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 Good luck Danny - thanks for helping get us back to the premier league.
mcbendy Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 BEST NEWS EVER. Total ffing liability in the Prem.
Colinjb Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 (edited) Good luck to him, thanks for playing your part in our rise Danny. Frankly, better planning would have ensured that he wouldn't have been exposed at Premier League level, he probably should have left along with Hammond and Harding back in the summer of 2012. Not signing Buttner necessitated his stay. Edited 30 January, 2014 by Colinjb
LatvianTolix Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 We have a cover LB with Targett if needed.
buctootim Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 The real news about Fox leaving is that Shaw clearly isnt going anywhere. Also isn't there a new academy left back on the fringes of the first team?
disconnect Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 Would people really play Clyne at left back? He's totally one footed!
Sour Mash Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 As far as i saw it Danny Fox was never "targeted by the hate mob" he was quite simply nowhere near good enough for the premier league and nearly everybody could see that/got frustrated by it. Of course that doesn't fit into the general hyperbole that this place is so found of, where you either have to be with something or against something (a bit like the Mccarthy trials in the states). Maybe not a hate mob, but he did get tons of stick at times, a lot of it unecessary.
Sour Mash Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 We have a cover LB with Targett if needed. Can't really be classed as cover can he?
Baird of the land Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 Harding isn't going to be happy with Fox once again arriving at the club he's at!
Griffo Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 People saying good riddance etc are c*nts. Not his fault he wasn't good enough for the Prem. Did a good job for us in getting us up.
sotonist Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 On loan until the end of the season and then a permanent transfer, who'll be the target of the hate mob now? danny fox when they send him back, most likely.
DT Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 He looks ecstatic: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BfOaByxCMAE6liV.jpg
buctootim Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 He looks ecstatic: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BfOaByxCMAE6liV.jpg Lol. The Forest watches and pens arent as smart either.
Lets B Avenue Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 As far as i saw it Danny Fox was never "targeted by the hate mob" he was quite simply nowhere near good enough for the premier league and nearly everybody could see that/got frustrated by it. Of course that doesn't fit into the general hyperbole that this place is so found of, where you either have to be with something or against something (a bit like the Mccarthy trials in the states). Wanna bet? BEST NEWS EVER. Total ffing liability in the Prem. Not his fault he was hopeless. I bet Dan Harding wont be pleased to see him. He had just got back in the 1st team over xmas and will now have Foxy picked ahead of him again.
Lighthouse Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 Would people really play Clyne at left back? He's totally one footed! I'd have him out of position over Fox any day, Fox's positioning was shocking and he made some dreadful errors. Having said that, Fox was a decent player in the Championship and an important figure in our promotion. Never gave less than 100% for us, good luck to him at Forest. Does this mean he will be pushing Dan Harding out the team for the second time?
saint_ed Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 Clearly a very popular member of the squad so in that respect will be missed, however Championship is most definitely his level. Would be intrigued to know what fee we got for him.
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 Lol, ol' Crooky is all over it guys Alex Goring Crook @alex_crook 1m #saintsfc defender Danny Fox has joined #nffc on loan with a view to a permanent deal in the summer #transfers
Window Cleaner Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 Clearly a very popular member of the squad so in that respect will be missed, however Championship is most definitely his level. Would be intrigued to know what fee we got for him. as a loan fee..now with a couple of months of the season left, 50K perhaps.
VectisSaint Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 Would people really play Clyne at left back? He's totally one footed! Yes. He has played in the position very well when asked to play there already. In fact he looked just as good at LB as he does at RB when he has played there. I have no qualms about Clyne playing LB if needed, but hopefully he won't need to unless Shaw goes down with Nandos belly again.
positivepete Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 A good move for him, it really cant be fun being a footballer who only trains and never plays, they do not have that long a career. Glad to see the others being released and moved on for the same reason.
hypochondriac Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 A good move for him, it really cant be fun being a footballer who only trains and never plays, they do not have that long a career. Glad to see the others being released and moved on for the same reason. Yes it could. It's not exactly a hardship!
Patrick Bateman Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 People saying good riddance etc are c*nts. Not his fault he wasn't good enough for the Prem. Did a good job for us in getting us up. Could not agree more with you! He's actually a top bloke, really nice guy, well liked and did a great job in helping us get where we are now. He was also happy to be backup and Shaw obviously liked him and learned from his experience. Hope Forest works out for him.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 Great guy and good pro - did a good job for us. Who covers LB now? Interesting that Katharina Liebherr said nobody would leave - the Lee, Sharp, Barnard, Fox and Martin all leave Osvaldo out next please
Barry Sanchez Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 Due to Foxes poor positional play he will delayed in signing on at Nottingham due to him turning up in Falkirk.........
saint_ed Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 as a loan fee..now with a couple of months of the season left, 50K perhaps. I meant to make the move permanent. I'm pretty sure he still had a year to run on his contract?
Window Cleaner Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 Great guy and good pro - did a good job for us. Who covers LB now? Interesting that Katharina Liebherr said nobody would leave - the Lee, Sharp, Barnard, Fox and Martin all leave Osvaldo out next please As I said at the time it's all about airy fairy semantics. At no time did KL say no one would leave, she said we had no plans to sell any players in January...and we haven't. We could loan out the whole squad and she'd still be right. We have also said that we have no plans to sell any of the squad during the January transfer window.

Lighthouse Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 People saying good riddance etc are c*nts. Not his fault he wasn't good enough for the Prem. Did a good job for us in getting us up. 1 person, as far as I can make out.
saint.tom.clancy Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 Due to Foxes poor positional play he will delayed in signing on at Nottingham due to him turning up in Falkirk......... Hilarious. Good luck to him, as others say always gave 100% but was never going to cut it in the prem. Hope he does a job for Forest.
Griffo Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 1 person, as far as I can make out. Twitter is full of people saying it.
The Cat Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 I'm only glad he's gone so people stop moaning about him. Hate it when the crowd gets on a players back and the collective sighing, tutting and groaning when he missed a tackle or made a bad pass was embarrassing. Forest may get promoted so we could see him back at St Mary's next season.
jasonb Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 Good luck Foxy! As one or two other s have said he and Shaw had built up a great relationship and Shaw speaks very highly of him. This cannot be underestimated and unlike a mercenary he was a team player and a valuable part of that team. Once a Saint always a Saint* *with the exception of those that really were sh#t for us of course
farawaysaint Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 Goodbye and goodluck Fox, you were there when needed and that's all we can ask.
Kingsland Red Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 Good luck Dan and thanks Mate. Proper footballer who did us proud in the Champiobnship. (Contrary to SWF ideas, it is not the player's role to find a better replacement for themselves when they are out of their depth)
Shroppie Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 People saying good riddance etc are c*nts. Not his fault he wasn't good enough for the Prem. Did a good job for us in getting us up. Agree totally. Always gave 100% effort, was really important in the promotion year and has been adequate cover in the Prem. He just can't match the very high standards we now have. He will be a good buy for Forest. Thanks, Danny and good luck.
Olallana Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 In a classic 4-4-2 system Fox could be decent even in Premier League if he would have a midfielder helping and protecting him. In our system fullbacks are often exposed with 2-on-1 situations and in that he is too slow and indecisive to make it work. Probably better though for him to play in the championship, he´ll do a job there.
