solentstars Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 yes would cost £2m a year to stick him in reserves and leave him there, no international football, no league football and the club would be in charge, he's under contract, if he strikes fine him , individual offense each 1st team game he makes himself unavailable. £2m would be cheap to show players the club is in charge of transfers not them and not their agentswhat crap idea and his transfer fee would nose dive has well so other clubs would get him on the cheap
DuncanRG Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 I don't know if it's been mentioned but it appears that Dejan is on holiday with Guly
alpine_saint Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 I don't know if it's been mentioned but it appears that Dejan is on holiday with Guly To a noody camp ??
alpine_saint Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 Liverpool seem to be spending money like there is no tomorrow and this from a team who finished second and damned nearly won the league so what's going on? How solid is their finance one must wonder and how serious their interest in players like Lovren who seem to be churned out by Croatia at two a penny? Is it all a game of bluff and their real targets are much more fancied players who are hedging their bets to get a best possible deal? What if they aren't all that bothered about Lovren anyway and won't bite on our price (would you?) just because he will always be for them their second best option? A lot of doggy-do has been floating about in this particular choppy sea so how could he be welcomed back by the club and fans if there's no deal to be done? It seems we have passed the point of no return with even the Echo slagging him off as "not fit to wear the shirt". So no welcome here then or we about to demonstrate that our ethical standards are no higher than his or other wanna ways? Set a thief to catch a thief? I'm guessing they are just spending the Suarez money in advance. Laugh my tits off if that goes pear-shaped and they are stuck with him...
Mallagroth Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 letting Guly go was a clear sign we lack ambition and the players have acted accordingly
Dig Dig Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 Hoping that spending quality time with a genuine saints legend will help Dejan see the error of his ways
DuncanRG Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 I'm guessing they are just spending the Suarez money in advance. Laugh my tits off if that goes pear-shaped and they are stuck with him... The BBC's Ben Smith has said that none of their spending to date has been 'reliant on Suarez's sale' - i.e. not using the Suarez money
Coldridge Posted 9 July, 2014 Posted 9 July, 2014 I wonder: Tadic = Serb Lovren = Croat. May not get on too well. Also, has Dejan actually put in a transfer request, or is he still hoping for those loyalty payments :-) Hopefully Lovren won't take a page out of Osvaldo's exit strategy and commit an atrocity on Tadic to force a move.
washsaint Posted 9 July, 2014 Posted 9 July, 2014 Some of the papers are claiming Liverpool will meet 25 million valuation.....if so, bite their bloody arms off!!! Good riddance to a guy who is the epitome of the premier league greed culture.
Viking Warrior Posted 9 July, 2014 Posted 9 July, 2014 But on BBC column they are quoting a daily express that the scousers need to sell Lucas Leica to fund their bid for lovren That would suggest they don't have that much cash to splash
kpturner Posted 9 July, 2014 Posted 9 July, 2014 I don't know if it's been mentioned but it appears that Dejan is on holiday with Guly He has just posted the video but it doesn't mean he is there with him - but I guess you knew that already.
angelman Posted 9 July, 2014 Posted 9 July, 2014 All gone very quiet. Does that mean the deal is being done/finalised?
Beckenham Saint Posted 9 July, 2014 Posted 9 July, 2014 I don't know if it's been mentioned but it appears that Dejan is on holiday with Guly Guly to Liverpool?
SuperSAINT Posted 9 July, 2014 Posted 9 July, 2014 But on BBC column they are quoting a daily express that the scousers need to sell Lucas Leica to fund their bid for lovren That would suggest they don't have that much cash to splash I'm sure they are doing fine financially. They're just about to sell Suarez for £75m. I saw Ben Smith tweet that their signings so far haven't been dependant on selling Suarez either.
Viking Warrior Posted 9 July, 2014 Posted 9 July, 2014 Guly to be the new capt of the Brazilian national team You heard it here first .
DuncanRG Posted 9 July, 2014 Posted 9 July, 2014 He has just posted the video but it doesn't mean he is there with him - but I guess you knew that already. I'd say that makes it likely. They are friends after all
USA SaintsFan Posted 9 July, 2014 Posted 9 July, 2014 Lol Lovren blocked me from his instagram account because I called him a disrespectful traitor.

hypochondriac Posted 9 July, 2014 Posted 9 July, 2014 Lol Lovren blocked me from his instagram account because I called him a disrespectful traitor.
alpine_saint Posted 10 July, 2014 Posted 10 July, 2014 Seems to have gone quiet. Calm before the storm, or has he got his way ??
ratio_decidendi Posted 10 July, 2014 Posted 10 July, 2014 Seems to have gone quiet. Calm before the storm, or has he got his way ?? Aren't those just the same thing in context? But re Lovren leaving, probably both. I struggle to see him staying.
alpine_saint Posted 10 July, 2014 Posted 10 July, 2014 Aren't those just the same thing in context? But re Lovren leaving, probably both. I struggle to see him staying. By "calm before the storm", I mean until his next Twitter explosion because we arent budging.
austsaint Posted 10 July, 2014 Posted 10 July, 2014 If he does go are we any chance of recruiting Ron Vlaar? Hasn't he had a brilliant WC.
Wes Tender Posted 10 July, 2014 Posted 10 July, 2014 If he does go are we any chance of recruiting Ron Vlaar? Hasn't he had a brilliant WC. Just as long as we don't allow him anywhere near a penalty kick
angelman Posted 10 July, 2014 Posted 10 July, 2014 Didn't Guan say that we would sign someone once they were knocked out of the WC? I presumed that he was referring to Belgium, as they were playing that night, but Netherlands might make more sense, although they are still to play one more time (and isn't it time that FIFA get rid of the 3rd place game?)
sussexsaint Posted 10 July, 2014 Posted 10 July, 2014 To a noody camp ?? Lovren and Guly are signing for Barca?
Saints foreva Posted 10 July, 2014 Posted 10 July, 2014 If he does go are we any chance of recruiting Ron Vlaar? Hasn't he had a brilliant WC. Always thought he looked poor when playing for Villa.
FarehamRed Posted 10 July, 2014 Posted 10 July, 2014 Straight swap: Lovren for Vlaar. I'd be happy with that.
Professor Posted 10 July, 2014 Posted 10 July, 2014 If only half of the remarks attributed to Lovren are true, I would still find his behaviour appalling. Trying to break a contract freely signed less than a year ago and with 3 years still to run, deserves a fine by the club. If there was any justice in football, it should be possible to recover some of the money Lovren was paid on the misrepresentation he made that he would commit to 4 years at Southampton. If he hasn't gone by the start of the season, the last thing I would want would be to see him in a Saints' shirt again. I hope the club stick to the £25m price that has been rumoured, not that he's worth it, but just to make life difficult for the money grubbers and so that clubs like Liverpool who try to use their financial position to weaken their opponents, can't do so easily.

Viking Warrior Posted 10 July, 2014 Posted 10 July, 2014 Gary jones probably spoke to Alex goring crook about continuing with the lovren story If lovren is so good why have clubs across Europe not made a bid? :)
Matthew Le God Posted 10 July, 2014 Posted 10 July, 2014 If lovren is so good why have clubs across Europe not made a bid? How do you know they haven't?
Heisenberg Posted 10 July, 2014 Posted 10 July, 2014 How do you know they haven't? Lovren tells us when clubs bid for him
FCTwente Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 How would you guys rate De Vrij as replacement? He's reportedly being linked to MU and Barcelona, however, I think he would be delighted to be reunioned with Koeman. He is apparently to be picked up for 8/10M EUR maximum. It of course depends whether MU and Barcelona come in -- but he's having a really good WC imo.

I haven't a lot of Dutch football this season tbh, but he does look like hes having a good WC... Let's just raid Feyenoord lool-Clasie, Pelle, Martins Indi (though he think hes gone already, De Vrij, Immers, Kongolo, Janmaat...
Delboy Dave Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 De vrij is quality, signed him on fifa13 in about my 3rd season and his rating is 87 now so he must be good ;-)
Bucks Saint Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 Always thought he looked pretty good despite playing for a very poor Villa. corrected it for you

Patrick Bateman Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 Always thought he looked poor when playing for Villa. To be fair, Villa were terrible all round - Vlaar is probably their stand out player after Benteke!
Viking Warrior Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 S-Clarke she wasn't with you last night She was with Manchester United squad doing a work out with some if their players . However she might have been with you last weel :)
SaintRobbie Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that we need to buy a replacement for Lovren and pay top whack to do so. Then let Judas II go to Scouse-hampton for £20-25m. But replace before selling.
Saint IQ Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 Straight swap: Lovren for Vlaar. I'd be happy with that. Behave.
DuncanRG Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 Don't fancy Vlaar. De Vrij would be brilliant but he'll probably be off elsewhere. Van Dijk and Manga look promising enough but I haven't seen either of them play, Van Dijk once or twice.
Big Bad Bob Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 Don't fancy Vlaar. De Vrij would be brilliant but he'll probably be off elsewhere. Van Dijk and Manga look promising enough but I haven't seen either of them play, Van Dijk once or twice. van Dijk in Japanese anime, sounds a bit scary to be honest...

Van Dijk and Manga look promising enough but I haven't seen either of them play, Van Dijk once or twice. Five years ago I never dreamed posters would muse that key defenders of World Cup semi finalists who conceded 3 goals in 6 matches might not be good enough for us. Actually I didn't imagine it five minutes ago either.

notnowcato Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 Vlaar plays for Villa ffs, lets not act like the World Cup is a higher standard then the Prem Come now Pastor... the German side would absolutely pish the Premier League.
