Barry Sanchez Posted 24 April, 2014 Share Posted 24 April, 2014 theres special providence in the fall of a sparrow IMO. If he ain't fallen yet, he's gonna fall sooner or later. It's prob not worth worrying about. I would just enjoy watching him fly while you can. Or whatever. © shakespeare Sort of right, Hamlet? Not too sure the right sort of meaning there but word and peace out Beersy. If you mean to enjoy the ride while it lasts? But what ride are we enjoying and if it is for the benefit of other? Meaning its a futile game we play. Barry Lomax Wunderwald Sanchez 2014 Le Harve colouring in competition winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearsy Posted 24 April, 2014 Share Posted 24 April, 2014 yeah tbh shakespeare may not have been talking bout Luke Shaw per se, i think baby jesus came in to it somewhere.

hypochondriac Posted 24 April, 2014 Share Posted 24 April, 2014 If that were actually true and Adam was leaving, it would mean Shaw and Morgan would be off too and we might as well give up. I expect lallana would be the last player we would let leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 24 April, 2014 Share Posted 24 April, 2014 When does Lallana's contract expire? A long time from now. If you remember Cortese secured all of our key players on long term contracts last season. Most of them have 3 or 4 more years left. Something the new order don't seem to have been doing, unless they've just not made such a song and dance about it which is entirely possible although Jack Cork is the only key player with a relatively short time left I think.

I thought that I was being perfectly fair to them by citing possible reasons as to why they've been seen to do nothing as of yet. I personally have no confidence whatsoever in them but that's just me and I'll no doubt be proved to be a doubting Thomas. Personally I think if this set up had been at all serious about taking the club forward we'd have appointed a CEO or chairman with some sort of basic experience when we supposedly ran interviews for that post and not have wound up with a talks a good job chairman and a chief beancounter CEO.

Window Cleaner Posted 24 April, 2014 Share Posted 24 April, 2014 Lallana, 25m to United, done deal, welcome to the new era, at least they write nice letters. so that would be...18.75 million for us and 6.25 million for Bournemouth then, probably both less VAT, making our share in theory about 15 million £. Can't see that being true, not worth it for us at that price. The thought of actually giving 6.25 million to Bournemouth AFC is also revolting, they'll only waste it....

angelman Posted 24 April, 2014 Share Posted 24 April, 2014 If lallana goes I'm going too! I hope that this closed season isn't the straw that breaks my camel's back. I am getting very disillusioned with the PL and finding that I cannot (or rather, do not want to) accept the way that it is all favoured towards the bigger clubs. I can't really see the point of getting excited about a competition where there is little to no chance of the hierarchy changing. Our first season back was interesting to see whether we would survive. This season has been interesting to see if we can flourish. But if next season is back to square one what with our squad having been raped, then maybe it would be better to give up on the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG Posted 24 April, 2014 Share Posted 24 April, 2014 If players want to go they'll go and very few clubs are able to keep players v big club interests but what a kick in the balls Lallana going would be. For only £25m too? Try £50m instead. And £60m for Shaw, take them to the cleaners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 24 April, 2014 Share Posted 24 April, 2014 "financial difficulties" which have as of yet not been explained to me, as I've said before if the owner is not capable of serious investment then she should sell us to someone who is. All clubs owe transfer fees because they're not yet due, we'll get a good whack from the PL this season and should make a profit, so we pay our oustanding transfer fees and contract some new ones. It's the way football works, perhaps someone should tell that to the German lawyer and the Ice Hockey ex-player. We'll certainly not be a big hit on the US commercial scene by selling our best players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know that, although he has said this week that we need new players for the squad and as everything that's worth anything from the academy has already been drafted in I guess that means buying or at least signing players. Don't even mind if we don't "spend big". We need to keep what we have, get shot of the crap, Osvaldo,Gaston,Mayuka etc and invest the resulting funds in 3 or 4 players of quality. If we could get say 20 million for those 3 we'd have nearly enough for 3 Lovrens, makes you think doesn't it.

berkshiresaint Posted 24 April, 2014 Share Posted 24 April, 2014 So with Lallana, Shaw, Morgan, Chambers, Lovren, Cork & Clyne all rumoured to be leaving for either Moan U, Arsenal or Citeh. Which of our current players will actually be able to turn out for the team next season? Seeing as MoPo is guaranteed to be leaving to manage Spurs, PSG or any one of the other clubs he has been linked to who is going to manage this 6a side team of ours?
