Bearsy Posted 11 June, 2014 Share Posted 11 June, 2014 If true,he can get fooked,his stock was low in France and we took a punt on him and gave him the opportunity he needed Is it backlash time? I always thought he was over-rated! Such clumsy, such reckless. Poor man's Jose Fonte. Jack Stephen's will be twice the player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey-deacons-left-nut Posted 11 June, 2014 Share Posted 11 June, 2014 I'm not angry with lovren tbh, he's not from here, he's only been here a year and is worthy of a champions league place... He doesn't owe us anything and we don't owe him anything. Annoyed and irritated but not angry. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nta786 Posted 11 June, 2014 Share Posted 11 June, 2014 Well if David Luiz is £40m, Lovren is either not for sale, or £50m. Tell Liverpool to p*ss off, and tell Lovren to honour the contract he signed in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Garrett Posted 11 June, 2014 Share Posted 11 June, 2014 Couldn't give a toss whether he wants to leave or not. It's up to the new manager. I wonder if we'll string this line out until next Summer, whilst not appointing a new boss, thus retaining the squad. It feels like it at the moment...

Gemmel Posted 11 June, 2014 Share Posted 11 June, 2014 Dear Dejan, Thank you for your email. Given your comments, no more than two weeks ago, we assumed your email had been hacked, or you had mistaken the date for April the 1st. As these two conclusions appear to be incorrect, I can only express my disappointment. I will however refer you back to your own comments, where you explain that; "You are contracted to the club and any decisions regarding your future can only de decided by us". Wise words indeed. All players have been made aware that both incoming and out going transfers,cannot be sanctioned or completed until the new manager is in situ. You will also know from your own experience 11 months ago, that transfers (In and out) are not at the sole discretion of any one individual and are instead subject to approval from a select committee. Following your email a straw poll, suggested that all other committee members would reject your request, so even in the unlikely event that the new manager was in favour of allowing you a transfer, it would be vetoed. There was however a small caveat to this, where offers in excess of 40 million sterling would be considered favourably . Upon your return from the World cup, I would be happy to sit down with you and update your contract accordingly and indeed could even discuss enhanced terms in recognition of your performances last season. The 40 million buy out clause, should give you great comfort with regard to the esteem you are held at this club, by both the staff and the fans. The other good news, is that we all share your ambition to play Champions League football and together with our new additions this close season, we will continue to strive towards this goal. Best of luck for the World Cup and I look forward to catching up at Staplewood when you return. Kind Regards Uncle Lessy P.s xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pangy Posted 11 June, 2014 Share Posted 11 June, 2014 If the club have not acknowledged the request who has leaked this ? In Reeds video yesterday he started saying about players publically expressing desire to leave then quickly changed it to clubs trying to unsettle players It all sounds fishy to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 11 June, 2014 Share Posted 11 June, 2014 If true,he can get fooked,his stock was low in France and we took a punt on him and gave him the opportunity he needed Also all this bullsh1t about change in chairman/manager is a cop out,MoPo had jumped ship and by the looks of it we are getting a better manager if Les is to be believed Cortese has gone and been replaced with RK,granted he is no NC but KL seems to have the same goals/visions as NC to fufill her late fathers wishes and she owns the bloody club !!! I know there is no loyalty in football but if Lovren & Lallana force there way out after 1 good season with us I wish them nothing but failure and misery :-) You need to get those ideas out of your head, Lyon tarted him around, probably because it's a club full of knobs, supported by knobs and run by knobs. Aulas wanted to play kids who were garbage in the hope that he could sell them for huge profits to finance their new stadium. Lost a good manager because of him being the aforesaid knobbish self and replaced him with the tea boy who has now finally seen the light and thrown in the towel, replaced with a non-entity from Reims. Aulas is French for Rupert Lowe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Duckhunter Posted 11 June, 2014 Share Posted 11 June, 2014 My god, but you're naive! The press are always straightforward and tell the honest truth as well, eh? Or is it just case of you wanting to believe? So you think that Ashton went into work and decided to make something up. He could have made anything up, but decided to make something up about Southampton rather than a bigger club. Once he decided to make something up about Southampton, he didn't pick Luke or Adam but thought he'd make something up about Lovren. He then decided to make something up that can be instantly proved or denied, rather than add the caveat "I understand" . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born In The 80s Posted 11 June, 2014 Share Posted 11 June, 2014 Let the tosser go. With all these mercenaries in the squad, it really makes me think back and admire the true legends of the last 5 years. Guys that got us up under Adkins like Lambert, Richardson, Chaplow, Hammond, Fonte, Fox and Barnard etc. That was probably the most proud I've ever been of a Saints squad. That was what proper team spirit looks like. Not this bunch of overpaid tossers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, honestly believe we just need a manager to come in that loves the club, fans and spirit of the city. That will soon rub off on the players like it did under Adkins.

If we want to take the moral high ground we should have played all of them in the Premiership and duly embarrassed ourselves as a mark of gratitude to their service.

doddisalegend Posted 11 June, 2014 Share Posted 11 June, 2014 (edited) @alex_crook: It is true #lfc target Dejan Lovren has handed in a transfer request after #saintsfc bosses ignored his phone calls to discuss his future Yeah really. Nothing to do with a bigger club offering more money sniffing around...........nothing at all Don't really have a problem with players wanting to move up the football food chain but at least they owe the fans is honesty. (" it's not you it's me") Just admit you don't want to be at the club because you've head a better offer. Adam and Dejan trying to make out they're only leaving because of the nasty board is just insulting. Edited 11 June, 2014 by doddisalegend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why today, the day after a 'positive' club statement? It feels like scripted bits and bobs are being fed out when they feel they'd have the most impact.

S-Clarke Posted 11 June, 2014 Share Posted 11 June, 2014 So would you simply put it down to a serious case of wanting revenge for revenge's sake, or more to it than that? Someone who didn't get his own way and didn't want to see success occur without him being there, that's what I'm seeing at the moment. NC did a lot of good for this club, don't get me wrong, but he also has the potential to do a lot of damage. He got too close to the players in an unhealthy kind of way and this is why we're seeing what we're seeing now. He's in the background unsettling the apple cart and at the moment we seemingly have no direction at the club to stop that, which is the frustrating thing. Get ourselves a decent experienced manager on board and re-newed ambitions and we may have ourselves a salvageable situation, but if we continue to wait....then the media and certain 'pals' will continue to take advantage of us.

SNSUN Posted 11 June, 2014 Share Posted 11 June, 2014 Without reading the thread, I find it hard to believe a player set to feature in his first World Cup game TOMORROW is concerned about his future at Southampton at this present moment in time If he has, then screw him, we get a large profit and replace him. If he hasn't, journalists need to stop writing sensationalist ******** to make them feel like they have power to influence footballing proceedings. Now I'll go back and read the thread.
