washsaint Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Why? Why sell him and for only 12 million? What on earth is going on? The others, fair enough. But this kid is something special and why on earth are we letting him go when he is on a long contract at Saints? This is making no sense whatsoever and with the wholesale decimation of the team the club really does need to start providing some answers. So we are likely to have lost Shaw, Lambert, Lallana, Lovren, Chambers and Schneiderlin. That, to put it mildly, is catastrophic.
Batman Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 selling chambers for £12m is just daft selling shaw for £30m is a different ball game to selling someone like chambers, who has loads more to learn for such a fee more so as we really (surely) do not need the money

goneawol Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Arsenal agree Calum Chambers transfer from Southampton for £7million fee http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/arsenal-agree-calum-chambers-transfer-3915561
Big_Bald_Si Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Link to something saying we're selling Chambers?
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Why? Why sell him and for only 12 million? What on earth is going on? The others, fair enough.

So we are likely to have lost Shaw, Lambert, Lallana, Lovren, Chambers and Schneiderlin. That, to put it mildly, is catastrophic. But we do already have a better Rb at the club, who fits our system better. Just playing devils advocate.
Give it to Ron Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Scandalous and one too far......never believe another word from Reed or the club again. This one makes absolutely no sense if true.
Wiggles31 Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Yeah this angers me more than any of the other sales. Totally rubbishes the 'we sell who we want' vibe.
Batman Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 But we do already have a better Rb at the club, who fits our system better. Just playing devils advocate. its about a squad of players though. who is to say that chambers wont push on even further this season when do we stop selling players?
Katalinic Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Yeah this angers me more than any of the other sales. Totally rubbishes the 'we sell who we want' vibe. Yep agree. And if it is for 7m, or 12m for that matter then it is a joke.
Give it to Ron Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 But we do already have a better Rb at the club, who fits our system better. Just playing devils advocate. But players lose form and get injured....Injured Adam Lallana out for six weeks - blow for #LFC
Faz Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 This season, more so than last, it will be impossible to keep both Chambers and Clyne happy. One will go, and it looks like Calum.
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 its about a squad of players though. who is to say that chambers wont push on even further this season when do we stop selling players? "Sorry Callum, but we've decided you can't move to Arsenal, play in the CL and get paid 6 times as much because we need you to sit on the bench to help pad our squad out". Yeah, like to see that one.
Restark19 Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 This season, more so than last, it will be impossible to keep both Chambers and Clyne happy. One will go, and it looks like Calum. Say Clyne gets injured at Liverpool, or in any other of our 37 games next season.. then what?
Baird of the land Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Disgraceful if true. We shouldn't be considering selling him, let alone for the joke quoted fee.
Batman Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 This season, more so than last, it will be impossible to keep both Chambers and Clyne happy. One will go, and it looks like Calum. yet we managed it last season, just fine
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Say Clyne gets injured at Liverpool, or in any other of our 37 games next season.. then what? And say he doesn't... Plus, are you saying we won't replace him?
bpsaint Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Tbh im fuming about this one Likewise, I'll be ****ing livid if we flog one of our rising stars for such a meagre amount.
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 yet we managed it last season, just fine Apparently Callum has been looking to leave since Feb, so probably not.
Batman Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Apparently Callum has been looking to leave since Feb, so probably not. apparently do tell us where you heard this one DPS
Plastic Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 This makes no sense, if true. Agree, disappointing.
Georgie Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 I thought Koeman wanted two players for each position? Chambers leaving is an utter joke if true. We will be lucky to stay up next season. There really is something very wrong at the club.
ratio_decidendi Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Not putting much stock into this. What did Koeman say? It's all just rumours...
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 apparently do tell us where you heard this one DPS It was in one of the articles above Brett from Camden.
Lifelongsaint83 Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Graeme Bailey @GraemeBailey 37s Arsenal close to Callum Chambers deal. Outstanding prospect and a big loss for Southampton.
VectisSaint Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Its what happens when the club is being run by a bunch of amateurs, poor old Markus must be turning in his grave to see what his daughter has done to the Club, but some on here will still say its OK as KL has the best interests at heart and must be good because she got rid of evil Nic. Well folks this is what happens. Its great having a hockey coach who is a motivational speaker and hasn't been seen or heard of for weeks. KL should have sold the Club to Nic's backers as he wanted and we would not be in the position we are now. Sleep walking into disaster but lets just wait until the season starts as some chumps on here would have us do, we had a minimal sized squad last season and we are now effectively down 5 players already, and who is to say who will be next? Lots of money in the bank though so all will be OK. I feel sorry for Ron, because I think he would be a top manager, but he will be left looking rather silly I'm afraid.
Batman Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 if this happens there is something seriously wrong at the club IMO
View From The Top Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 (edited) This is a step too far. Edited 25 July, 2014 by View From The Top
Trout-Tickler Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 As others have said can understand the other sales (disappointing though they were) but selling Chambers really would be daft. What's the point in producing good young players only to ship them off after one good season? JWP must be disappointed as nobody has tried to sign him yet! Tried to keep the faith with the board but if this turns out to be true then it's hard to believe anything they say.
Saint_Jonny Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 This one will take some explaining. Getting ridiculous now..as if it wasn't already.
Saint Charlie Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 **** off. He won't even be a starter there. Madness. Low fee for a player who will play for England soon. What is going on? Fonte not signing a contract. How have the board seemingly alienated half the squad in 6months? Ths likes of JWP and Davis are probably hoping someone comes in for them.
fanimal Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Just got back from the pub to get a signal and read on twitter about CC; WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON SAINTS FGS TALK TO US FANS!!!!!!!
positivepete Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Does Chambers have the same agent as the players who have already left?
Baird of the land Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 I'd really like the words 'not for sale' to be uttered by saints. Apparently they aren't in our vocab.
Saint Charlie Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Who is making these decisions? They go on about the academy but none of the good players ever play more than 100 games for us.
ThreeSixty Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Koeman says its all ********. Lots of paper talk, all from the same source.
doggface Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 ****ing bull****....enough is enough. Is Les on a street Corner doing tricks for $$$$??!
SuperSAINT Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 FFS! - I didn't expect this one! And there was me thinking all summer: "Well, at least we're strong at right back!" So how many players do we need now?!?
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Who is making these decisions? They go on about the academy but none of the good players ever play more than 100 games for us. Same happened under NC as well though. It's called being a small club.
Dellman Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Can we get ST money back for sale under false pretences?
Roger Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Southampton fc are a joke. Kris temple now saying koeman hasn't a clue what's going on. He hasn't a say. Why didn't they sell club before cortèse left ffs
Turkish Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Who is making these decisions? They go on about the academy but none of the good players ever play more than 100 games for us. Lallana?
Batman Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Southampton fc are a joke. Kris temple now saying koeman hasn't a clue what's going on. He hasn't a say. Why didn't they sell club before cortèse left ffs IF, that is the case, can see keoman walking before he takes us down and ruins his reputation he has rebuilt
Appy Posted 25 July, 2014 Posted 25 July, 2014 Southampton fc are a joke. Kris temple now saying koeman hasn't a clue what's going on. He hasn't a say. Why didn't they sell club before cortèse left ffs Our managers haven't had a say in transfers for a couple of years to be fair.
