Merovingian Posted 1 January, 2009 Share Posted 1 January, 2009 cannot possibly say I would be disappointed if he went for £15M, whilst he scores goals when not on form we may aswell play with 10 men as he is lazy as fook. I was chuffed when we signed him but as some Spurs fans warned us he goes missing often and needs 10 shots per goal. He has cost us 9 points in the last 5 games with a host of missed chances and penalties. For good money bye bye and we move on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Shearer Posted 1 January, 2009 Share Posted 1 January, 2009 Seriously inflated at £15m. Tis crazy prices. Especially as pompey haven't even paid up fully on the transfer anyway!

mack rill Posted 1 January, 2009 Share Posted 1 January, 2009 You're gutted really. Not really,,,,Before he signed for us it was a puzzle why a striker with his goal per match ratio was kept on the bench by the Dutch kunt and One a Day Ramos,,,,Now we know. While we were creaming are nickers over getting him The yedds were coming on the web saying, (Yul be sorry) when hes not in a (Billy big ******** strop) hes a top quality striker, But a club of our size cannot afford a passenger two games out of three.

(quote by Merovian) I'll give you a £50 bet right now the only major player likely to be leaving is Diarra, who we have been playing without for 4-5 games now. in fact this season he has not quite reached last seasons heights, he keeps picking up niggles and injuries. Show me hard facts we have to sell, that is facts that have not come from a jackanory journo. If you can find facts then also include tony adams comments today that we are in fact going to have funds in Jan. We have agreed to sign Belhadji for £3M in January !

I'm disappointed to lose Defoe. He's one of the top players in that position in the country.

Corporate Ho Posted 5 January, 2009 Share Posted 5 January, 2009 I think that's the issue. You and Merovignan have been claiming that NONE of your top players were going anywhere. I claimed none of our top players were leaving? When? Like when I posted this on the 15th Dec: Don't see a firesale happening in Jan. Diarra will be off, the only question is to who. I was told that Man Utd had bid £16m for him (they failed with a £12m bid back in the summer) but that Man City are willing to go to almost £20m to get him if they need to (!) but Real Madrid are supposedly showing interest now at around £20m so we should make a decent profit on him wherever he goes. There might be a shock move for Sol Campbell to Newcastle if they'll match his wages and that would be fine with me. Gets two of the highest earners of the wage bill and Kaboul's looked good when hes played. The only other one I can see leaving is maybe Johnson. Spurs have of course been linked but I've heard that Benitez is interested. Would be hard to turn the move down for him if that happens. http://saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=6507 TOP players. Good to see you using a quote that had absolutely nothing to do with the point you were trying to prove. It was made in response to Granty saying that of the 13 players we have who are out of contract in the summer quite a few of them must be our better players. I posted the link to prove that wasn't the case. Try and understand basic English before you post again and make yourself look a knob Are you saying he hasn't received any phone calls and that the quotes on the BBC website are in fact all made up? No. I think he was saying that the quote was fine but that Defoe was lying when he made the claim. Of all the people who've left Pompey the only ones who claimed they received threats are Defoe and Quashie. Funnily enough, they both left to link up with Redknapp. Coincidence eh? Amazing that Diarra didn't receive any threats, wouldn't you say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
