Has he got white sports car with number plate F3NTE? Think it was him driving down to Lordshill a minute ago

 

He was driving like a complete bellend on the M27 in a white sports car a while ago. Heavy traffic in every lane but he was undertaking and arrogantly shoving his way into gaps that weren't there just to get a few car lengths ahead.

 

Just for that reason I'd sell him.

Needs to be more like Jason Kenny. Joking players aside they are getting harder to relate to and even the ones you thought weren't knobheads can often turn out to be.

Shall we get Batman to do a list of footballer knobheads from SFC, he'd love that?

So will we have an adequate replacement for him??? I'm thinking not.

With JRod likely off too it's not great is it. We are going to struggle massively this season.

If either go, it's quite clear both positions will be filled. The stories around J Rod and us willing to loan him kinda suggests we're adding another attacking player who will push him further down anyway.

 

The whole Fonte situation has been odd though, complete shut door from the club on him. We love making a big deal out of stuff, but to not even have an interview with your European winning captain rang alarm bells. I don't think he's even been put forward for post-match or pre-match. Something has been up for a good few weeks I think. Will be interesting to see how this pans out, as it's rubbish timing.

Genuinely (knows his stuff)? Have you seen what he's/she's said?

 

I often browse that forum in the summer, he always seems to get wind of our transfer targets before - he's kind of like the kbilly over there, not sure if he posts on here or under what name.

Why on Earth would we sell either this late in the window, if we didn't have a replacement lined up?

 

give him his extra year he wants, all sorted

 

Pay rise - maybe

 

Extra year - no

I agree. Fonte and JRod leaving would surely be an indication that we have some pretty substantial inbound transfers afoot, as to not have very high level replacements for both lined up would be literally moronic.

Or we don't care about being relegated because the owner is just about to sell the club.

It's a lot more mild over there, not so much bickering and no WUM's - good place..!

 

Haha, yeah, that's *genuinely* the first impression I was left with :lol: Consider my horizons broadened :thumbup:

I did say Fonte's head had been turned. That was genuine info from a trusted source as well. If Utd want him then they've got him.

 

do they want him?

Fonte will go the same way as Lambert imo,flavour of the month at the minute but after a season he will be done,can't see him 1st choice at utd and will be used for league cup/FA cup and the odd Europa.

Will be a shame but we have form for bringing in exceptional CB's so I look forward to his replacement

 

Same for J-Rod...hoping its a 6 month loan and we can have him back at some point but he doesn't fill me with great belief at the minute where someone like Boufal or Ziyech would get the fans excited.

 

Worst case scenario is we do not bring in anyone and we all can rock up at SMS with our pitchforks

I can personally see why they would. He isn't a superstar, admittedly, but £8-12m is peanuts for United, and an experienced PL ready 2nd/3rd choice CB is something they need. Shame, last of the L1 boys.

Beefy is saying that Jay is gone and Fonte 80% gone/20% staying. He is hoping Jose can be persuaded. Beefy said that was not speculation.

 

Then there is a comment about Bertrand being badly injured or off as well - not sure if serious comment

 

Sorry don't know how to make the images bigger

Will be a big loss if he does go. We are giving ourselves an awful lot to do in the last week. Genuine question, have we in the last two meltdown summers had to replace such a big player this close to the deadline?

If this was Man City etc, it would be reported as a clear out, for us it is a meltdown

 

In balance Man city aren't getting rid of their starting centre back captain.

That comment might apply to Jay. It certainly doesn't to Jose. Nice try though.

They are getting rid of the current England GK though.

So far this is all speculation and paper talk. No evidence that Man Utd or Arsenal have made a formal approach

 

2 seasons ago and deep into the transfer window Schneiderlin was told he had to stay. We had sold all we were going to early in the window. He went the following season early but for a good fee

 

Last season and deep into the transfer window Wanyama was told he had to stay as we had sold all we were going to early in the window. He went the following year but for a good fee.

 

This time I speculate Fonte will be met with the same response. However he is much older and may not have any interest to buy him next year. I predict he will reluctantly take up the increased wage offer. Unless of course we have a better centre back coming in..............

it is obviously what the club want us to know

I love the Telegraph, but occasionally we get a positive piece from them and then we do a "180" a week later!

You've just blown your gasket about a conversation that took place entirely in your head.
