Pastor Patrón Posted 3 July, 2014 Share Posted 3 July, 2014 We don't need a defence anyway. Just put our money stacks in the goal, have Boruc jumping around in that sh#t like Scrooge mcduck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farawaysaint Posted 3 July, 2014 Share Posted 3 July, 2014 So his agent is gunning for a move, reading that it sounds like he's offering Fonte to Tottenham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint_ed Posted 3 July, 2014 Share Posted 3 July, 2014 They don't have the same agent. Possibly used to, but Poch signed with Jonathan Barnett in order to get his Spuds move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT Posted 3 July, 2014 Share Posted 3 July, 2014 This tide of disgruntled players is getting very depressing and needs to be nipped by the announcement of some key players coming in.

Charlie Wayman Posted 3 July, 2014 Share Posted 3 July, 2014 On the other had the young lads of the development squad must be chuffed as bunnies with two tails. First team football in record time beyond their wildest dreams. What odds on a Josh Sims hat-trick at Anfield. Adam who? Rickety Lamberto, doh!

egg Posted 3 July, 2014 Share Posted 3 July, 2014 Why is his contract not sorted? Just bizarre. He may have refused the club's offer. The fact that his deal hasn't been extended doesn't mean that the club haven't tried to extend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but whatever your outlook it is kind of bizarre that Cork and Fonte havent signed new contracts.

Both have suggested they want to stay and both are good players and no trouble, who wouldnt be asking for the earth. Is it really "bizarre" though? We have no idea what is going on behind the scenes so why assume that it is "bizarre?" Why dont you wait and see what transpires and then make a comment on what you know, not what you dont know.?You are just having a dig at the Board again.

With all the departures you'd think tying down two important players from last season would be a priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philelec Posted 3 July, 2014 Share Posted 3 July, 2014 Agree completely. With all the departures you'd think tying down two important players from last season would be a priority.

Baird of the land Posted 3 July, 2014 Share Posted 3 July, 2014 Some of those that left had a 5 year or so contract, what difference did that make? A we were able to get big fees due to long contracts B Keeping happy and rewarding those who gave done well would be nice, rather than making them have to consider somewhere where they are wanted.

saintbob40 Posted 3 July, 2014 Share Posted 3 July, 2014 A we were able to get big fees due to long contracts B Keeping happy and rewarding those who gave done well would be nice, rather than making them have to consider somewhere where they are wanted. Precisely it makes no footballing or commercial sense to keep Cork and Fonte dangling on what is now less than 12 months of their contracts. We have lost Lambert, Shaw and Lallana with Lovren and Morgan highly likely to follow whether we like it or not , with Jay Rod out till November. Our best team in 20 or so years is being decimated. The more new faces we throw at this the less chance we have of making it a success. We need to build around the core of what we have left and that core needs to be strong and focused on he job in hand rather than being messed around on their contracts.

Saint Fan CaM Posted 3 July, 2014 Share Posted 3 July, 2014 To be honest he may as well go if Lovren goes. He's half the player without Lovren. Nah, you're kind of half right. Fonte was better with Lovren, but that's not due to Lovren specifically. Fonte has enough about him to raise his game with whatever partner providing that partner is a PL class defender (i.e. a primarily left-footed ball player) that suits Fonte's game...it could be anyone that meets that spec.
