Miltonaggro Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 InGot no problem with him wanting to be ambitious, and play in the champions league, especially with the Euros In his own country coming up.....if he just goes to Spurs, then he can f*ck himself. Sideways move, to that **** club with ****. fans. Can't stand them. So yes I only respect him because he's currently a Saint. That about covers it!...
DuncanRG Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 You're in cloud cuckoo land if you think Morgan conducted himself more professionally than Adam Lallana, Luke Shaw or Calum Chambers last summer.
CB Fry Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 You're in cloud cuckoo land if you think Morgan conducted himself more professionally than Adam Lallana, Luke Shaw or Calum Chambers last summer. Luke Shaw and Chambers didn't do anything wrong. Morgan had one strop. Lallana had an extended, childish strop, and did some rather stupid things, particularly as he was team captain. So lumping in all four together is misleading.
eelpie Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 I thought the chairman said "we are not a gossiping club" and here we are being just that ! This seems to be stating the facts as they currently are. Clarification is good, and contrasts well with the fog and rumour that nurtured panic among Saints supporters last summer.
cellone Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 Could easily be argued that Spurs are also a step up from Saints just the same as Liverpool . Unfortunately this isn't the thread for it ..... Massive facepalm
Redslo Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 You're in cloud cuckoo land if you think Morgan conducted himself more professionally than Adam Lallana, Luke Shaw or Calum Chambers last summer. But we can all agree he conducted himself more professionally and Lovren and less professionally than Lambert, right?

Badger Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 Spurs ''ITK's'' now claim that they have offered us our asking price for Morgan, and now it's up to him. Maybe they'll get off of their fantasy island one day. Should be up to the club, just say "No" f^ck off, we're not selling to Poch.." Lambert coming back as a make weight for Clyne .......wont happen he is only worth 500K and would not get a game Clyne to the scousers may happen but on our terms Schneiderlin to the yids will not happen......he has 2 years left on his contract Depends on whatever agreement the club made with him really, hopefully we'll only sell to a Champions League club, which will rule Poch and the yids out of it. My big fear though is that if none of the CL clubs make a firm bid, then he'll simply want to leave to a 'bigger' club..
Verbal Kint Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 Schneiderlin to the yids will not happen......he has 2 years left on his contract If nobody else pays the money and Spurs do then it wouldn't surprise me at all if it does happen. My own opinion from the outside looking in is that Morgan is completely full of ****. But let's see what happens
Batman Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 going to Spurs would be an odd one. Sure, they are a bit of a bigger club but not in the league liverpool are. no champions league football (which morgan harps on about) and 'Spurs' is just not enough without CL football, like 'Liverpool' are. I doubt he would be on a massive pay rise either if he moved to Spurs, like signing for a liverpool etc If he went there, would mean he really wants out of SFC....
simo Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 If Morgan moves anywhere but a champions league club he'll be going down in my boo book for when he comes back!
Verbal Kint Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 If he went there, would mean he really wants out of SFC.... Which everything over the last 12 months would suggest to be honest. Last summer he was talking about wanting European football, then in December when we were in and around the top 4 his rhetoric changed and became about playing for a "big club" rather than wanting champions league football and now that we've fallen away from the top 4 again he's gone back to talking about needing to play in the champions league. He's full of **** and just wants out
LaptopSaint Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 Sunday Times reckons Spurs are in pole position to get Toby from Atletico as well - just imagine Morgan and Toby turning up with Poch at SMS. Ugly.

kermitsaint Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 Nob. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk Name calling again ? If Morgan moves to Spurs then so be it . They can afford to pay more than us and have the potential to improve more than us based upon that financial clout . Their chances of reaching Champs League are better than ours . The hysterical wailing and gnashing of teeth on here is tiresome and childish . Yes Morgan has said he wants Champs league but any contract would be approx 3 to 4 years . Spurs have that potential and most likely a manager who wants to stay for many years . If they pay the asking price then I will wish him well .

You seem to revel in other teams percieved superiority over Saints and your history shows nothing more than criticism after criticism of Saints. So tell me, this doesn't befit the natural behaviour of a fan, so how long have you been following Saints exactly? Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
angelman Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 Spurs is a big step up financially for a player, just as Liverpool is. But the league is as it is, and Spurs/Liverpool are unlikely to get CL. Certainly they aren't going to do so on a regular basis for the foreseeable future. The might if lucky interlope and then go back to where they usually are (5th-7th). The four there at the moment, are the 4 that always get it. It's why this league is not the best in the world.
kermitsaint Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 I'm realistic about what a team in our position is capable of . We are limited due to the size of St Marys and the FFP rules .

I'm not one of the happy clappy brigade . Some things I get frustrated about , others I dont . As for your name calling and questioning my support ? Well I have nothing to prove to you other than I respect your opinion rather than your childish response to different opinions . You're not the only one who chooses to belittle others who don't share your opinion . I was born in Romsey and raised in Chandlers Ford . I'm a 3rd generation supporter . My grandad wore Saints socks to his wedding much to nans disgust . My dad is a lifelong supporter . I've wrapped my new born children ( 4 so far ) in a Saints scarf and each has worn a fully signed baby sized shirt in their first photo . I have a large Saints tattoo on my shoulder . I watch every single league game through satellite tv as I now live in Australia. When we weren't on tv I would watch a live commentary feed. I also own many many shirts as do my children . Good enough for you you utter numpty ??

derry Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 Any player going to Spurs needs to look at the long view. They are redeveloping WHL and looking likely that they will be tenants of MKD for three years which could well have an effect on their results. They may not be quite so successful in their away years. Still the money would be better.

Redslo Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 Anyone that permanently marks their body for life and think that its a good look needs their head tested. I was going to point out that this would apply to every current Southampton player except maybe Tadic. And then I realized that due to the risk of concussions, every football player should have a test annually to establish a baseline for future reference. So maybe you are right.
buctootim Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 I was going to point out that this would apply to every current Southampton player except maybe Tadic. Pretty sure Morgan, James WP and quite a few others (Long?) are in the state nature intended.

The9 Posted 21 June, 2015 Posted 21 June, 2015 we could lose clyne morgan and toby. Forster is out injured and yet to get any keeper in. be amazed if cedric is better than clyne next season. who ever we get in to replace morgan will more than likely NOT be as good. likewise, toby We managed to keep Schneiderlin and have Clyne and Alderweireld play for us last year without even having Europa League football, what makes you think we can't sign players of a better standard now we do have that incentive?

He always "he'd wait and see" when the table suggested Saints might be one of those CL clubs.

Off the top of my head I would say an extra 5,000 seats would be worth somewhere around one and a half million over a season. I can't see that would make much of a difference. My quick arithmetic suggests something over 3 million pounds a season, if the new seats sold at 35 pounds each. Not a huge amount in the scheme of things, but with financial fair play not completely trivial. It would, for example, allow us to pay one player enough to keep him from going to Liverpool for the money.
