Dusic Posted 15 January, 2017 Share Posted 15 January, 2017 Steve Stammers whose name is on the Mirror article is on about the same accuracy level as Alex Crook. I don't see Fonte at Liverpool myself. They already have Matip and Lovren, plus they recently signed Klavan and have Joe Gomez who is very promising. They would need to sell one of those to buy and older player with limited shelf-life. Don't see it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats not good enough if you want to compete for the title tho but i dont see Liverpool coming for Fonte as well. In fact i dont see any big club coming for him, it just doesnt really make sense for them if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because he's an ex pro (and former Saint even though he is in denial about the latter) doesn't mean he knows how things are working with Fonte, things have changed a helluvalot in the 20 years or so since he retired. I wouldn't have made a point if you had quoted anyone else that I can think of by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgiesaint Posted 15 January, 2017 Share Posted 15 January, 2017 After today's result, it wouldn't surprise me if Man City put an offer in for Fonte.

Pedro Posted 15 January, 2017 Share Posted 15 January, 2017 I always thought Black was an odd appointment given his recent history at Villa, if we wanted an interpreter (again) then get a specialist in and a better coach or whatever his title is. Will always be training ground bust ups but Black just doesn't seem to connect with us, I hope our next management team have a better charisma about them than this boring lot, although all will be forgiven if we have good run of results.

badgerx16 Posted 15 January, 2017 Share Posted 15 January, 2017 I always thought Black was an odd appointment given his recent history at Villa,.... Don't forget he was also assistant manager at Blackburn when they were relegated from the Prem. With the rest of his 'pedigree' being assistant or caretaker at Sunderland, Birmingham, and Rotherham, and 'consultant' at Blackpool, I really don't see what he brings to the table.

Seriously, when you have an assistant manager, who is a terrible, TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE addition to the backroom staff, and when he's (Black) is walking around the training facility, very audibly questioning the "attitude" of certain players (more than one) and pointing in players faces at close proximity, I'm talking about extremely senior INTERNATIONAL players, that shouldn't be happening full stop. I think if Puel is sacked, and I'm not saying he will be, but if he is, there will be a whole bunch of players going for Blacks head. Not one player, that I know of or have heard of, has an issue with Claude Puel. It's all Black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted 15 January, 2017 Share Posted 15 January, 2017 Wasn't Kelvin meant to have had a player- liaison sort of role ?

Greenridge Posted 16 January, 2017 Share Posted 16 January, 2017 Back to Fonte. The options are increasingly looking pretty thin on the ground for Jose. Be interesting if he doesn't get a move whether he'll be prepared to knuckle down and contribute to the remainder of the season. We will certainly need him with our lack of depth in that department.
