Nathaniel Clyne Joins Liverpool - Official

I think he was blushing for you, how cringe worthy.

Absolutely this. Embarrassing.

JonnyOldBoy · 30 April, 2015

Or a man embarrassed by the actions of stranger crassly shouting stuff out at him in a room full of people.

or another greedy stupid footballer....

Saint Garrett · 30 April, 2015

If he wants to price himself out of staying then thats up to him, flog him and we'll get someone in our wage bracket. No point breaking the clubs structure just because of another greedy footballer. You'd have thought they would learn after seeing others fail.

MarkSFC · 30 April, 2015

If he signs a new deal and stays then great. If he chooses to go to Manure or A.N.Other CL team then fair enough and good riddance. Sign Trippier.

Not many footballers these days think like that unfortunately. Greed plus massive ego equals no way will I fail mentality.

i know it's rose coloured spectacles view but if you were a defender playing under one of the best defenders of the last 30 years why would you want to leave and not have him coach you and teach you how to become a better player ? That's the footballers mentality that I don't understand.

Unfortunately Clyne has already shown himself to be one who will sit and get the club nothing when he left Palace for free. Get rid asap if he's not signing

There is nothing wrong with fulfilling your contract and moving on. Forcing a move in violation of your contract is a different matter.

With you on this. Although Lovren has got more than he deserves, lala is starting to come good. Rickie and Shaw are enjoying retirement and Chambers is earning a fortune for putting in an average days work.

Who exactly has failed ? They are all at bigger clubs on more money.

Listen, I am very happy we have done what we have, it puts all the pressure on Clyne as opposed to it being the other way around. He is a great player, and we should be offering a top wage of around 70-80k IMO (considering the TV deal and our top 4 'ambition'). If he isnt interested then we need to get as much as we can and get an adequate replacement (im not sure trippier is)

They have failed in the eyes of those who love football , not money.... i could have earned £150K plus a year for the last decade but decided not to so I could be involved in my kids growing up.... I love some things more than money..... just one example....

Agree it's his right and something we took advantage of signing him.

Dark Munster · 30 April, 2015

So, a 10 day ultimatum. That should be as successful as it was with Cork.

Anyway, if he decides to go good luck to him. I agree with Redslo, Nathan will have fulfilled most of his contract and played well for us, and Saints will make good money if he leaves in the summer. I certainly will have much more respect for him than Lovren, Shaw and Chambers.

Yes but some people are different, if I wanted I could earn near that, the contractors I hire are on over £1000 a day price and you dont even want to know about per hour and I do as much if not more. Its been offered, but I like my flexibility.

All that is irrelevant though, they are playing for bigger clubs with a higher chance of success and silverware, Lambert is the only one that you could say made a poor decision but in a way it was different due to the opportunity of him playing for his boyhood club

From the sounds of it you're already on a tidy wage but like the way your life is going.

There is also the chance to win silerware consistently and Champions League football. We can't compete om that front in addition to the wages.

Roboze · 30 April, 2015

oi Smirking Saint, can i come and work for you!!! i'd do it for 700 a day lol

Smirking_Saint · 30 April, 2015

I can assure you Im on nowhere near the contractors wage, but yes Im happy. Money isnt everything.

Gladly, send you're CV in the post and try not to blow me, yourself or anyone else up. The paper works horrendous

cellone · 30 April, 2015

I'll do not blowing anyone up for £350 a day. That Roboze is only in it for the ££.Me, I would put my heart and soul into not blowing people up.

And as they grow up, your kids will ask "Daddy, how come we can't have nice things?"

lordswoodsaints · 1 May, 2015

Not really bothered if he goes if I'm honest,a decent enough player but has recently looked average,probably distracted by transfer talk and contracts.get the deal done early,get a replacement in early and all will be good.

Yes but you also ned to know that at some stage, the clubs will want a return in some form. They don't buy players, give them shed loads of money, and keep doing it for year on year and be happy with them sat on the bench? Managers change, others become disenchanted, clubs sometime need cash, and no matter how much you cost, if you aint done anyhting of note in a season, no one will shell out more to buy you.

Donatello · 1 May, 2015

And your kids will ask, 'Where's/Who's Daddy?'

I was told the same thing by my 8 year old son , I could change jobs and not quite double my wages but it'll mean working away and not having him Thursday nights ! Some things money can't buy

rooney · 1 May, 2015

He has not played to full capacity in his last few games and does not seem to go around his man to get to the by-line to cross anymore. I think you are probably correct in that he is distracted by all the talk/negotiations.

Smirking_Saint · 1 May, 2015

You could more than double it Simo

But yeah you are right mate. There is more to life than money.

Saint_clark · 1 May, 2015

Jesus christ, you don't need £150k a year to have nice things.

sadoldgit · 1 May, 2015

Thing is none of know at the moment what is in Clyne's mind. Before the pitchforks are shaken and the torches are lit shouldn't we at least wait to find out what he proposes to do?

the saint in winchester · 1 May, 2015

Saint86 · 1 May, 2015

All depends how you raise them. Money isn't everything.. Although if your lucky and can combine a great lifestyle with money then hats off to you.... and I hate you

Redslo · 1 May, 2015

And your kids will ask, 'Where's/Who's Daddy?'

If I have any kids they must be asking that because their mothers never notified me.

To be fair thought, there is only one woman I did not see again during the relevant time period so it is probably not an issue.

Also, I should mention my initial comment was a joke. I also made similar career decisions albeit without kids to influence the decision and I make enough to have many of the nice things I would buy if I had unlimited money. Basically, all I really miss are the politicians I could buy here in American if I were rich enough.

Best raid the Dutch leagues now while we still can. This time next year we'll have more Dutch managers in the PL than the Eredivisie.

I guess you're being ironic here but as your "dutch scout" I can truly say that there is no dutch rightback with any talent right now that will make it in the PL. It's getting worse and worse, even van der Wiel gets a chance now in the national team and this guy doen't know sh*t about defending. There isn't even one Ullie van Gobbel anymore...

Badger · 4 May, 2015

I go along with this, he's not irreplaceable, and if his heart isn't in it then he can bugger off. Unfortunately though we don't have a track record of getting the replacements in early, if we did then ideally I'd like Byram or Trippier signed up by the end of May to report back with the rest, but the liklihood is their agents will want them to wait for that bid from Liverpool or whatever that they can sort whilst the player is on holiday.

Expect another summer of angst.

Katalinic · 4 May, 2015

Good player but if the fee is anywhere near the £25m some papers are quoting then take it and spend some of it on Trippier.

Badger · 4 May, 2015

Good player but if the fee is anywhere near the £25m some papers are quoting then take it and spend some of it on Trippier.

Given his contract situation I dount it will be near £20m, probably nearer £15m from one article. Perhaps we can hope for a Chelsea/Man U bidding war.

Slight deja vu coming on here, Chambers, Shaw and Lallana all had 3 or 4 years to run on "recently" signed contracts, as did Morgan. Don't know about SRL or Lovren but guessing they still had a few years to run.

End of the day Contracts with football players don't seem to be worth the paper they are written on if the player wants to leave, although at least we squeezed another season out of Morgan! But it does put the club at an advantage in pushing for a decent fee, rather than letting a contract run out and end up with nothing. Who knows, maybe Clynne will let his run out and be in a great bargining position in getting himself (and agent ) a big pay day, or have any new contract include a get out clause if anybody comes in with an agreed fee.

Christ, really not looking forward to the summer break. Don't even have a World Cup to distract us this year, although that was in part probably a big influence on our players getting so much attention and being bigged up and believing all the praise they got through the season.

Andy Durman · 5 May, 2015

It doesn't really say anything. Happy to stay, but could also go....

Saint_Tony · 5 May, 2015

It's just a standard reply, of course he says he's happy here. He may well be, but I'm sure like most players he would be happier at one of the biggest clubs in the world, playing CL and doubling his money.He's gone, as is Morgan. Let's deal with it and move on. Take £20 million and sign Trippier for less than half of that.

Trippier is a class act and would be a great replacement for clyne.

saintoaks · 5 May, 2015

Just Heard on sky sports news he's looking to stay!! Time will tell...

Andy Durman · 5 May, 2015

Well if he wants to stay then he has my absolute respect.

It would be a fantastic statement for next season.

Interesting after Roy wanting our players to play for bigger clubs that the ones remaining made more England appearances this season than the ones who left!
