SuperSAINT Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 The question is what happens when J-Rod and Morgan say they want to go? (Like the others)
Doctoroncall Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Strong statement by Krueger. Hope he has not made his own noose with that guarantee. Actually, I wonder how long he will be at the club. It's easy to come out with these statements if he's not here next week.

Tom Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Interesting he only mentioned those two wouldn't be sold though.
saint_ed Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Interesting he only mentioned those two wouldn't be sold though. In fairness they are the ones the interviewer asked him about.
trousers Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Interesting he only mentioned those two wouldn't be sold though. Those were the only two that the interviewer specifically asked about though
JN9 Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 I feel better already... Perhaps a tad naive of me, but that's just the kind of chap that I am
warsash saint Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Maybe Jrod & Morgan have decided to stay rather then us not allowing them to move?
Viking Warrior Posted 29 July, 2014 Author Posted 29 July, 2014 Good summary Glasgow I thought it was a positive statement and the sky guy was pretty forceful with his questions
FloatingbridgeSaint Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Sky news transfer centre news ticker clearly showing that MS & JR WILL be leaving the club this summer. I guess we either mis heard or sky sports news typist has cocked up?!
iansums Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 I reckon Morgan and JRod are going absolutely ape sh*t at the moment.
Viking Warrior Posted 29 July, 2014 Author Posted 29 July, 2014 Tom The reporter raised the question about JRod and Morgan as they were subject to transfer speculation, to which Krueger responded accordingly
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 I reckon Morgan and JRod are going absolutely ape sh*t at the moment. About what?
saintalan Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 I dont think he answered the question re FFP, he just answered on the basis transfers were not for financial reasons. Think it was genuine mishearing when the guy asked re Financial Fair Play Cheers Alan
KingdomCome Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Krueger: "JRod and Morgan are NOT for sale." SSN presenter: "Is that guaranteed?" Krueger: "Yes" I really want to believe this
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 About not being allowed to leave. And what brings you to this conclusion?
Tom Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Tom The reporter raised the question about JRod and Morgan as they were subject to transfer speculation, to which Krueger responded accordingly Fair point but could have been a good chance to place assurances on any others though.
iansums Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 And what brings you to this conclusion? Calm down. Its just a throw away remark. We've been given the impression that many of the players want out.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Calm down. Its just a throw away remark. We've been given the impression that many of the players want out. I think you are the one getting all irate and should calm down...
Tractor_Saint Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Pulled together (aka nicked) from @connorarmstrong by TractorSaint Our fans will be pleased with the final product, I am sure. Ronald has become a key piece of keeping the Saints on that level. We know it's going to be a challenging season. He is a person who is there for Southampton. He wants to build with us, long-term. If you look at the facts, since January we have built an entirely new board, coaching staff and new playing staff. If you look at Koeman's background, he could come in with a swagger. He leads by example. We are looking to truly have a squad that has everybody pulling in the same direction. For Ronald, it's best to get the players in tomorrow. We are working as quickly as possible. I believe that we are very close to a few deals. It's about getting the right players in the right deal, that fits the way Ronald wants to play and we want to play. We know that he needs more players and we need more depth in our line up. Ronald Koeman has done an outstanding job with his staff so far. Come September, it is judgement day. We are in a process and it is far from over. Jay Rodriguez and Morgan Schneiderlin are not for sale and will be a part of our club as we enter the new season. We needed to stay silent to bring in the best deals for the club. We are completely ready to have players stay where others did not meet our prices. Even against their will. There was interest brewing before the World Cup and quite clearly we stayed patient and didn't make quick deals. We will continue to build forward with players and with a team that are prepared to go the hard way into Europe. It is in the best interest of the club and the rebuild. We set premiums on the players and we reached those premiums. It was quite clear that we had multiple players interested in taking a short-cut to the Champions League. We did not put any players for sale. What we did say is, we would watch the process and listen Quite clearly, we entered the transfer window with a plan. We have a clear strategic approach.
iansums Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 I think you are the one getting all irate and should calm down... Thanks for the advice pal but I'm quite calm just trying to keep a smile through all this madness.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Thanks for the advice pal but I'm quite calm just trying to keep a smile through all this madness. Me too pal...no value it getting all worked up about something you can do jack about
St Marco Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Don't believe anything he says at all, nor that of KL or Reed.

Saint Charlie Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 First time that he did actually talk a very good game. Couldn't have done a better interview IMO. Whether any of it is true is another thing, but he came across as very confident.
KingdomCome Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 no credibility whatsoever... It is quite telling that he says precisely what fans have wanted to hear for some time and few actually believe him. I'm not calling him a liar or "unaware of the full facts" when he made the guarantee, but I am definitely in the waitansee tribe
saint77 Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 First time that he did actually talk a very good game. Couldn't have done a better interview IMO. Whether any of it is true is another thing, but he came across as very confident. Exactly my thoughts
Sour Mash Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 The club have obviously decided to take today as an opportunity to get out there and try and re-assert their message. It could still be more bluff and bluster, but I've got a feeling what Krueger is being fairly truthful with what he is saying there. We'll know the truth soon enough either way.
Nolan Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 First time that he did actually talk a very good game. Couldn't have done a better interview IMO. Whether any of it is true is another thing, but he came across as very confident. Who has hacked Charlie's account then?
Mallagroth Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 First time that he did actually talk a very good game. Couldn't have done a better interview IMO. Whether any of it is true is another thing, but he came across as very confident. Well bloody hell, if Saint Charlie is saying stuff like this we have officially turned a corner !
Baird of the land Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 First time that he did actually talk a very good game. Couldn't have done a better interview IMO. Whether any of it is true is another thing, but he came across as very confident. Yep good interview. The statements that have been needed. I'm taking it as evidence of a directional shift in boardroom rather than Ralph being hung out as a Guy Fawkes to be burnt a week down the line.
View From The Top Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 And there we have it. The board have given themselves no wiggle room so let's see if they do it.
Wes Tender Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Krueger handled himself well in the face of some difficult questions. The most significant statement made by him is that Schneiderlin and Rodriguez are staying. Whether that is because they have both confirmed that they wish to stay because they have been pursuaded that they can both play a significant part in an exciting season with quality new additions around them, or because the club have told them that any offers for them will be rejected, remains to be seen. If the former, then that is the best news of the past few days, as it will be possible to build a good team around them with a few decent additions. If the press feeding frenzy continues unabated and they take the Lallana / Lovren Judas route, then what could we do? Surely Krueger has been able to give these guarantees because the players have been pursuaded to stay, otherwise his stock will plummet.

He has nothing to lose.
Toadhall Saint Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 I reckon Morgan and JRod are going absolutely ape sh*t at the moment. Tough ****. Your contracted to play for SFC no one forced you to sign it so ****ing well honour it. Same should have been said to Chambers et al.
doddisalegend Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Only a complete moron would guarantee live on radio that two players will not be sold if he thought there was any chance of them being sold...................wouldn't they? To be honest I was sceptical that any club would risk buying J-rod in his current condition but I had pretty much come to terms with Morgan leaving but the club have painted themselves into a corner now they can't sell either player (at least until January) without bringing down a s hitstorm.
SaintRobbie Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Saints are hoping to sign a GK , defender and forward by the end of the week More news coming up Good stuff, only 3 more defenders, x1 striker and x2 midfielders to go then!
SaintRobbie Posted 29 July, 2014 Posted 29 July, 2014 Actually, I wonder how long he will be at the club. It's easy to come out with these statements if he's not here next week. He's on borrowed time.
