The player was offered to us. We made a bid that want acceptable and decided that we didn't want to improve the offer. What is your problem? As an "apologist" I would not have a problem in a club being turned down if our Board didn't fancy their offer.

We paid too much for Long and didn't offer enough for this guy. What a shabby club we are.

Apparently yes, he was offered to us.

He didn't like our defensive and negative tactics apparently and thought we should have played the same way we played against Sunderland. As Del Boy would say....plonker.

Agree. I have heard several comments about Hodgson from Redknapp that showed he was clearly thinking he was the better man for the job. As you say, no class. The Independent is saying that QPR were not going to offer him another contract next year and that he also had the hump over Les Ferdinand having full control of transfers in January. But is all about the knees apparently

Indeed. I am no fan of Wenger but Durhams constant tirade against the bloke is just embarrassing, as is the Daily Arsenal feature (which they may finally have dropped).

Either Hawsby or Jacobs were saying yesterday that it was a huge mistake that he wasn't given the England manager's job. Really?

Me neither. As a kid I was told not to ride two abreast (although we always did when there were no cars around). How times change!

Clearly the roads are dangerous places for all users: cyclists, motorists, lorry drivers, bikers, pedestrians. We all have a responsibility for our own safety and that of others who share the roads. What makes them so dangerous are the idiots who feel like they own the roads and the rest of us are just an inconvenience who get in the way.

The basic point is that we felt he wasn't worth what Feyenoord wanted. I am sure he would have been on better wages with us so instead of feeling insulted perhaps he should just feel frustrated that both clubs could not reach a compromise? I would image more deals fall through than get over the line and this is one that didn't work out. Getting @rsey about it doesn't help matters.

Good point!!!

The only thing that Harry Redknapp cares about is Harry Redknapp. Sadly he will get another job in football but it is good to see some of the media finally sussing him out.

Do you know what wages were offered? Were they "insulting" ?

So not a first team regular then? The thing is he wouldn't be coming here are a regular either, he was offered to the club form what I understand - not someone we have been actively looking at. You would get 3.6 million euros for him but that offer wasn't acceptable and SFC didn't think it was worth going higher. Not sure what the problem is? It would have been insulting if the club had said no thanks he is rubbish. An offer was made that wasnt accepted by Feyenoord. Clubs disagree on valuations all the time. Sometimes they are resolved, sometimes not. Not sure why you are so upset? If you like the player so much you still have him and if he is worth more at some point someone will pay that price.

Awful

Looks like he was having a dig!!!

What I like about this squad is that it is just that - a squad. We have a lot of decent players and are not reliant on just one.

I think Liverpool got Lambert on the cheap but would reserve "shameful" for what they paid for Lovren

Real footage. At least 9 dead. Many survived though!

I rarely beep a cyclist but some of them are all over the road and I will do so as a sign that are cycling dangerously. I appreciate that there are many cyclists who are responsible but there are also those who are a danger to themselves and to other road users. I have been verbally abused by cyclists when I have gone out of my way to make sure I give them plenty of room. Perhaps we should add "lycra rage" to road rage? I used to be a rep in London so spent most of my day on the roads. It scared me the number of cyclists who used to jump red lights.

Is 3.5m euros for someone who is not an established 1st team player really "shameful" ???
