Saint Charlie Posted 2 June, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WealdSaint Posted 2 June, 2014 Share 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 Share 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.

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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
