sussexsaint Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 I'm sure any bids from Poch will be warmly received by the board
Pastor Patrón Posted 3 July, 2014 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
farawaysaint Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 So his agent is gunning for a move, reading that it sounds like he's offering Fonte to Tottenham.
sussexsaint Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 Of course the agents are - they don't get the big money unless there is a move
saint_ed Posted 3 July, 2014 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.
Graffito Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 Of course the agents are - they don't get the big money unless there is a move They get paid for negotiating contracts.
farawaysaint Posted 3 July, 2014 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. It's this level of bs which explains why tribal football are never to be trusted.
Whitey Grandad Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 They get paid for negotiating contracts. Bread and butter, they get that every couple of years. Commission on transfers is extra luvvly jubbly.
DT Posted 3 July, 2014 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. There's only so much joy a picture of Sammy Lee smiling can generate.
Minsk Posted 3 July, 2014 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. There's only so much joy a picture of Sammy Lee smiling can generate. Where does it say Fonte is 'disgruntled'?
Charlie Wayman Posted 3 July, 2014 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!
DT Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 Where does it say Fonte is 'disgruntled'? It doesn't. I therefore hope he is gruntled. It doesn't say that either.
tttdcs Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 http://www.tribalfootball.com/articles/tottenham-boss-pochettino-goes-southampton-defender-fonte-4029330?utm_source=main_feed Might as well ship everyone out and start from scratch. Ideal time to negotiate a pay rise perhaps?
egg Posted 3 July, 2014 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.
angelman Posted 3 July, 2014 Author Posted 3 July, 2014 When are Yoshida and Hooiveld contracted till?
Saint Billy Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 When are Yoshida and Hooiveld contracted till? Now I need to worry !!
SaintRobbie Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 To be honest he may as well go if Lovren goes. He's half the player without Lovren.
krissyboy31 Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 Why is his contract not sorted? Just bizarre. Could be more about the length of contract, than anything else.
sadoldgit Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 Why is his contract not sorted? Just bizarre. There are a number of possibilities, none of which we are privvy to. Why does that make it "bizarre?"
Saint Charlie Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 There are a number of possibilities, none of which we are privvy to. Why does that make it "bizarre?" 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.
Raging Bull Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 If it helps anyone he was looking to buy a mates house, he ain't now as he's not sure if he's hanging around. That's the reason he gave my mate Best regards Bull
Dalek2003 Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 Why don't we just go down to League 1 with £180 million in the bank and start again ?
sadoldgit Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 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.
SaintRobbie Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 Why don't we just go down to League 1 with £180 million in the bank and start again ? Because the aim is to win the league.
Baird of the land Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 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. Agree completely. With all the departures you'd think tying down two important players from last season would be a priority.
philelec Posted 3 July, 2014 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. Some of those that left had a 5 year or so contract, what difference did that make?
Baird of the land Posted 3 July, 2014 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.
BlakeySFC Posted 3 July, 2014 Posted 3 July, 2014 Pretty sure this is just his agent trying to get him a contract extension.
saintbob40 Posted 3 July, 2014 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 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.
ringwood Posted 4 July, 2014 Posted 4 July, 2014 anyone got the club calendar does Fonte appear between now and December, is Fonte on any club advertising? if he is that sure sign he's going !
fez Posted 4 July, 2014 Posted 4 July, 2014 anyone got the club calendar does Fonte appear between now and December, is Fonte on any club advertising? if he is that sure sign he's going ! He's advertising the new kit quite prominently
SaintRichmond Posted 4 July, 2014 Posted 4 July, 2014 He's advertising the new kit quite prominently He was the only player they could find that was still at the Club (at time of posting this of course )
