sotonist Posted 1 June, 2014 Posted 1 June, 2014 Fonte knows the score. Disgusting what's happening at this club, it's actually worse and more inept than venkys. Oh, Jose's been on the same contract since League One ... no, he signed a new contract half way through our championship season http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/16354197
Crab Lungs Posted 1 June, 2014 Posted 1 June, 2014 My mistake. Still... Been on that contract for a while... Not good.
Turkish Posted 1 June, 2014 Posted 1 June, 2014 My mistake. Still... Been on that contract for a while... Not good. Where are these revelations you promised to post?
Turkish Posted 1 June, 2014 Posted 1 June, 2014 Fonte knows the score. Disgusting what's happening at this club, it's actually worse and more inept than venkys. Oh, Jose's been on the same contract since League One ... Why didn't your hero give a better one then? he did with other players,even puncheon who he loaned out weeks later.
Whitey Grandad Posted 1 June, 2014 Posted 1 June, 2014 My mistake. Still... Been on that contract for a while... Not good. Wouldn't that contract have included provision for an increase upon promotion?
RedFear Posted 1 June, 2014 Posted 1 June, 2014 Where are these revelations you promised to post? exactly. he keeps telling us things are bad and hinting that he knows the score and will tell us all. Although his 'they write nice letters' shtick is obviously hilarious, as yet we have nothing
Turkish Posted 1 June, 2014 Posted 1 June, 2014 My mistake. Still... Been on that contract for a while... Not good. 2 1/2 season, of which he's been under the new board for 3 months. Why didn't Cortese give him a premier league deal? Why didn't he give cork one?
Turkish Posted 1 June, 2014 Posted 1 June, 2014 Oh Turks, you know he's not my hero by any means! Well come on then reveal all this stuff you know like you've been saying you would.....
kpturner Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 (edited) Monday edition, I believe...Which Monday paper are these Fonte revelations in then? Edited 2 June, 2014 by kpturner
alpine_saint Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 Which Monday paper are these Fonte revelations in then?
Saint Charlie Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 Quotes online at the Twitter of @Joe_Batchelor. Everything he says seems fair enough to me, pretty measured.
ratio_decidendi Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 Very fair comments from Jose Fonte - a far cry from what Adam Blackmore was suggesting...
hypochondriac Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 Very fair comments from Jose Fonte - a far cry from what Adam Blackmore was suggesting... In fairness you don't know that. It could be that Jose is being more measured in public than he is in private.
ratio_decidendi Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 In fairness you don't know that. It could be that Jose is being more measured in public than he is in private. Sure, but why would I have any reason to doubt what he's saying? I'm not going to waste my time double-guessing what Jose Fonte might really mean.
Saint Charlie Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 Pretty sure Blackmore hasn't specifically commented on Fonte, but if he is unsure of his situation then again it shows a lack of communication. He has been a good pro for the club, the least we can do is have a chat with him, even if its to say they havent decided yet.
kpturner Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 As I suspected, a bit of a mountain out of a molehill.
the saint in winchester Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 When is Crab Lungs going to post what he "knows"? Surely his house guests have gone now? Put up or shut up, Crabby. If you know something, share it, with proof.
Window Cleaner Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 Wouldn't that contract have included provision for an increase upon promotion? You'd think so by looking at that Bentley he bought himself after we got to the PL.
WealdSaint Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 I would imagine that the board are concentrating mostly on the new manager. Once the new manager is in place I would expect that those player like Fonte & Cork will be offered new deals.
Window Cleaner Posted 2 June, 2014 Posted 2 June, 2014 I would imagine that the board are concentrating mostly on the new manager. Once the new manager is in place I would expect that those player like Fonte & Cork will be offered new deals. Depends if the new manager rates them really, who can say. Anyway how is a bloke who's probably seen a couple of minutes of video analysis going to decide who goes and who stays ? The "board" have talked themselves into a corner, all that will probably happen is that when we actually have a new manager they'll rubber stamp the decisions they've already taken.
Saint Charlie Posted 27 June, 2014 Posted 27 June, 2014 The Cork and Fonte deals are huge now. Need to retain some consistency and keep a couple of the players that have grown with the club. Still amazed its nearly pre season and this hasnt been done, when both players have shown they are very keen to stay if they are actually offered something.
Saint Charlie Posted 14 July, 2014 Posted 14 July, 2014 http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/cardiff-city-transfer-news-southampton-7421892 Cardiff coming back with a second bid. Probably been encouraged by his Agent to force our hand re contract talks. Would suggest to me that no contract is hugely imminent. But Im sure others will disagree.
St Chalet Posted 14 July, 2014 Posted 14 July, 2014 Bump it again in another month to see if you get a bite.
Dig Dig Posted 14 July, 2014 Author Posted 14 July, 2014 Bump it again in another month to see if you get a bite. Why is he just looking for a bite? Found an article and linked it to a relevant thread. If you think he is just trolling, why not infract him?
Turkish Posted 14 July, 2014 Posted 14 July, 2014 Fonte knows the score. Disgusting what's happening at this club, it's actually worse and more inept than venkys. Oh, Jose's been on the same contract since League One ... Oh and look out of the nauseating, look-at-us-aren't-we-nice-people videos and statements of every player departure. It's all false, it's all bullsh1t from those at the top trying to project the human touch. Shove your nice open letters up your fat arses. T0ssers. When is Crab Lungs going to post what he "knows"? Surely his house guests have gone now? Put up or shut up, Crabby. If you know something, share it, with proof. ? 6 weeks on and still no closer to crab lungs telling us why we are run by people more incompetent than the venkeys.
CB Fry Posted 14 July, 2014 Posted 14 July, 2014 He did say he was busy and he would do it later. I think that meant sometime after the Tokyo Olympics.
Sour Mash Posted 14 July, 2014 Posted 14 July, 2014 Why is he just looking for a bite? Found an article and linked it to a relevant thread. If you think he is just trolling, why not infract him? Sweet of you to stand up for your little mate.
Saint Charlie Posted 14 July, 2014 Posted 14 July, 2014 Be interesting to see if either do sign new deals. Would be the first endorsements of the new regime from first team players. Hopefully happens soon and we can add it to the recent good news.

Probably been encouraged by his Agent to force our hand re contract talks. He should sack his agent in that case. The fact only one club has shown interest and they are in the championship would weaken his hand, not strengthen it.
Smirking_Saint Posted 15 July, 2014 Posted 15 July, 2014 Cork's Dad having a pop on Twitter now... Still going to wait till the end of the window before making a decision
davesaint Posted 15 July, 2014 Posted 15 July, 2014 Cork's Dad having a pop on Twitter now... Alan Cork @alancorky 2h Didn't take long for the manager to assess jay rod amazing that
Bewildered Posted 15 July, 2014 Posted 15 July, 2014 Alan Cork @alancorky 2h Didn't take long for the manager to assess jay rod amazing that Truly amazing that the club might be a bit more keen to tie the club's top scorer down to a longer contract.
Dig Dig Posted 15 July, 2014 Author Posted 15 July, 2014 Truly amazing that the club might be a bit more keen to tie the club's top scorer down to a longer contract. We are the sum of all our parts and Koeman shouldn't say he needs time to assess contracts for players but then immediately look to contradict that view.
Saint Charlie Posted 23 July, 2014 Posted 23 July, 2014 Someone on Twitter said that in the Mirror it suggests Fonte has rejected a two year extension? Can't see anything in the online version though. Would be disappointing if even someone like him has lost faith.
sadoldgit Posted 23 July, 2014 Posted 23 July, 2014 If he thinks he can get more money elsewhere, or use another offer as a bargaining tool, why wouldnt he do that? Unless Poch wants him I cant see him going to one of the "bigger" clubs.

Unless Poch wants him I cant see him going to one of the "bigger" clubs. Yeah Fonte is decent but not brilliant. If he thinks a Hull or Cardiff are better options then I would be suprised.
sadoldgit Posted 23 July, 2014 Posted 23 July, 2014 I suppose Hull have European football to look forward to and have just bought the mighty Ince! Who knows what goes through footballers minds?
Bewildered Posted 23 July, 2014 Posted 23 July, 2014 talkSAINTS @talkSAINTS · 1h Jose Fonte is set to turn down a 2-Year-Contract extension. (Daily Star). #Saintsfc That is the only source i can find for the rumour that Fonte rejected a contract offer and I can't find any mention of it on the Daily Star website. The only Fonte related news I can find is this piece saying he is the leading contender to be the next Captain. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/11358336.Fonte_in_line_for_Saints_captaincy/?ref=var_0
Dig Dig Posted 23 July, 2014 Author Posted 23 July, 2014 If [insert player here>Fonte I blame Cortese and Pochettino for selling them the champions league dream and then just walking out the back door.
Saint Charlie Posted 23 July, 2014 Posted 23 July, 2014 Spurs players already love Pochettino according to Jermain Defoe.
sadoldgit Posted 23 July, 2014 Posted 23 July, 2014 If [insert player here>Fonte I blame Cortese and Pochettino for selling them the champions league dream and then just walking out the back door. Dontcha just love the blame culture?
buctootim Posted 23 July, 2014 Posted 23 July, 2014 Spurs players already love Pochettino according to Jermain Defoe. How many acceptable answers are there when an interviewer asks a player how they enjoy working with a new manager?
Whitey Grandad Posted 23 July, 2014 Posted 23 July, 2014 Spurs players already love Pochettino according to Jermain Defoe. He hasn't been at the club for quite a while now.
Saint Charlie Posted 23 July, 2014 Posted 23 July, 2014 How many acceptable answers are there when an interviewer asks a player how they enjoy working with a new manager? He isn't a Spurs player. He said that his former team mates have told him the training is great, and they really like him. Defoe (Pochettino): "Speaking to the lads, they love him already." #THFC Defoe: "They say training is really sharp, with a lot of pressing." #THFC Defoe: "With the players they have got at Tottenham, and with that manager, I think they will do well." #THFC Defoe (Pochettino): "There have been a lot of managers come and go but I think this one is there to stay." #THFC
