dronskisaint Posted 3 February, 2014 Share Posted 3 February, 2014 You see it's funny. When Adkins was here and I said several times he was a dead man walking, that he had little to no say in transfers and cortese didn't rate him I was given all sorts of abuse and trolling accusations. Several people were big enough to apologies at the time Adkins was fired which was fair play to them but the usual status quo remains that if it's something people don't want to to read it's bullsh*t and trolling. Well like I've said before, for someone that talks a lot of bullsh*t and spends my time trolling I seem to get an awful lot right. It was a simple question, I didn't accuse you of anything!! ...Given that you categorically stated that the transfer committee wanted him gone (something that I had not read before but I don't live on here) and that it would appear to buck all that has happened since I just asked if you had some proof. I'm not particularly interested in a rambling explanation of whatever you may or may not have got right in 20 odd thousand posts(even Glasgow gets the odd thing right although he usually predicts it after it's happened :-))... For what it's worth I like your genuine footballing comments - hence being interested in an answer - please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 3 February, 2014 Share Posted 3 February, 2014 How do you know you were right on this one, we may still play in the champions league in a 50k stadium.

um pahars Posted 3 February, 2014 Share Posted 3 February, 2014 Not playing the victim at all pal. It's a fact that I'm often accused of trolling and talking sh*t yet I get a lot right. As for sources and evidence to proof is there to see. I was sneered at for saying what I did about Adkins and look what happened there. I remember when I said about Di Matteo being offered the job before MP and also when Chelsea were linked with Clyne in the press a while back that they weren't interested in him and said my source was a director at Chelsea who I wouldn't name (I did name him and how I know him via PM to a couple of people on here I have a bit of time for) and was melt with the usual sneering made up comments about the paper and ink salesmen trying to flog Bruce buck a few reams of a4 so that's why you won't get a source out of me, sunshine.

I don't disagree with that view, however, Cortese's 'vision' potentially clashing with that of the Liebherr family could be the sole reason he left, it could be a contributory factor or it might not be a factor at all.

Saint J 77 Posted 3 February, 2014 Share Posted 3 February, 2014 have not read the whole thread, but has it occurred to anyone that Lambert may have wanted to go to west ham? Yes I had thought that but then you have to ask why? What changed from last summer when he signed his new contract and he said he wanted to stay until the end of his career? From the daily echo http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/109...tury_of_goals I asked this question “It has been the best four-and-a-half years of my life,” he said. “I have given everything and I will carry on giving everything I can while I am here. I have absolutely loved it.” Noticed the way he phrased " I will carry on giving everything I can while I am here." Made me think he has changed his thinking a bit since he sign his contract last year. I do wonder what made him unhappy. Was it Osvaldo? Was it a falling out with Cortese? I did wonder that maybe he felt he was struggling to keep up with Pochettino's high pressing game. Whatever the reason I hope all the factors involved are resolved now and he is happy again. I hope Pochettino sees he is a valuable asset to the team and worth keeping. I hope he can finish his career for us. Many mentioned the he played a little bit of a deeper role on Saturday and it seemed to suit him. Maybe Poch will play him there from now on.

Many mentioned the he played a little bit of a deeper role on Saturday and it seemed to suit him. Maybe Poch will play him there from now on. I agree with this and at the risk of sounding boringly obvious has it escaped everyone's attention that West Ham were reputedly offering him a 3 year contract at a lot more money than hes on at the moment? If i offered most of the posters here a 50% salary increase as is rumored from his current c £40,000pw to c £60,000pw, a £xm signing on bonus and guaranteed it for 3 years plus you don't even need to move your family as work is only 65 miles up the road ...are you saying you would reject it out of hand? He is contracted until 2016 with us but it would be mid 2017 at that wage with WHUFC. Then add in that you've got young competition at work at present for your position, maybe you are not quite as "needed" as west ham might say they need you to save them, add in that the MOPO style of play does not always flatter you physically as the team does not play to your strengths as much anymore then add in injuries and a family and the idea of setting yourself up for life with one last big contract.....well- you would have to listen to what both West Ham and Saints had got to say on the matter- surely?I reckon it was very close myself, and that the Osvaldo thing might well have saved Rickie for us. We could not get rid of Osvaldo AND lose Rickie....and it was just to soon for the new bosses to be on the case for a replacement hence SRL is still a Saint. Delighted cos we all love Rickie. So, he's got 4 months now to ensure he goes to Brazil which means he will be busting a gut to score or make goals as always...and then when he gets back from Rio having played WC footie and scoring a hat-trick against Italy having nut-megged Osvaldo for the first goal and a one two with Ads who had left Osvaldo on his backside prior to that during the move for his second whilst his third was a bullet header from outside the area after Jrod had chipped the ball over to him, the Jrod who incidentally had also nutmegged Osvaldo earlier in the move causing a retaliation resulting in Dani being sent off, to join Balotelli who had already lashed out at Ads for nutmegging him twice in one course of play whilst picking his pocket, adding another tattoo to his arm "I love Brazil" and finally autographing Balotelli's shirt adding a big X kiss before revealing an undershirt t-shirt message to him as "Nuts! Mario" before carrying on to score his first goal for England during one rather long and extended mazy run lasting around 6 minutes...so long in fact that several of the england midfield had enough time to get deckchairs out, apply some factor 30 and order some caipirinhas, Gerrard even had time to nick some wheel hubs off the Italian team coach and still get back in time for his drink before the ice melted and Woy managed a little nap which left him a lot fresher for the post match interview .. All that means Rickie would be in a strong position for a renewed contract on a higher basic wage from Saints upon his return :-).

That's fair enough, there's a reason why the earlier rounds are called qualifiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint J 77 Posted 4 February, 2014 Share Posted 4 February, 2014 why? reported £75k s week is a good enough reason for a couple of years If money is the main motivation then I'm sure he'll be off to West Ham in the summer, if they stay up. Being a bit of a cynic I did wonder if the timing of Rickies injury was to do with the potential move to West Ham. Avoiding game time so he could past a medical. I guess we will never know for sure. I just hope he hasn't had his head turned by the money on offer. Now seeing this second half of the season as his big goodbye to the Saints fans.
