washsaint Posted 25 July, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted 25 July, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 25 July, 2014 Share 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.

Trout-Tickler Posted 25 July, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 25 July, 2014 Share 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.
