At present Gastons value is probably as low as it is likely to be barring a bad injury. If he has a great WC ( he set up a goal the other night) his value could rocket. I do not see the haste in selling him quite yet
-
You're having a laugh, we have had many other heroes who deserve a statue before RL as much as I adored him
-
perhaps everything AL is told would then be passed onto his agent and then the buyers. It is a case of the tail wagging the dog if we are not careful. iam pleased the board are showing some steel, but also not bothered if AL now goes
-
Anybody else getting texts from Liverpool fans saying that you may as well support them as they are taking half our squad. I just reply well you didnt want to win the league do you.
-
I accept him going, sad though it is
-
personally I think he should go. To get 20m for a player who is tricky but does not have a shot on him ( i know there is the odd exception)who does not head the ball and has now shown his want to get away. One super season is what his value is built on. I know fans love him as the see him as some kind of loyal star player, but patently he is not. Let him try and cope in the goldfish bowl of Anfield and the pressure that brings, i remember the great Mick Channon doing the same, he was a bit of a failure and eventually he saw the end of his career here where he was at his happiest and he blossomed again

Will Saints ever be a "bigger fish in the sea"?
OldNick replied to Fitzhugh Fella's topic in The Saints
Great to have a much bigger stadium but where will everyone park? -
I watched Redmond play for young England the other day and was underwhelmed. I would still be happy to have him here but Sinclair still has something to prove and potential to be a decent player

OldNick replied to Fitzhugh Fella's topic in The Saints
'Twas always the way. We are just a large provincial club and will always be so. Yes we had our attendance fall but £40 a ticket (to have 40 you have to earn 50) is a lot of money to find. Add to that travel food etc and football is now becoming a luxury. Every top club now needs wealthy benefactors or a superb business model with a massive attendance and marketing. It will be a long time until we can fall into that, if ever -
I'd prefer Scott Sinclair, he is a wasted talent that if in the right surroundings could still be a top English player

The best thing the Board can do right now is.......
OldNick replied to Block34's topic in The Saints
Sell Al and LS then turn their phones off. Both are now damaged goods and we can invest. If the exodus stops with them then we can recover. -
I wonder how long it will take for the Scallies up there to make Adam feel at home
-
Yep could do yet, but he has already been made to look a bit foolish in his statement about no player sold until manager is in place, let alone the ice hockey manager does more as he has to make subs all the time
-
Does anyone still believe we will be competitive?
OldNick replied to Frank's cousin's topic in The Saints
We just need to get some stability very quickly. Sell the 3 and then let no more go. We must keep Lovren Wanyama and Morgan. We then have a basis to build on again. The sad thing is that seeing a mainly English team that was a credit t us will now be mainly foreign -
He will regain his fitness here playing a few games to make himself sharp again and prove the injury has not been terminal then the Jan window will open. Of course he would have been on England duty by then as well so the likes of Gerrard or whoever can tap him up, simples
-
All fair points, I don't want to go down the. Pompey route and pleased that at least we fans are considering budgets above big players.
-
are you certain MP would have gone if NC was still here. If not do you also feel everything would be unraveling as quickly as it seems now? NC departure IMO helped make a lot of decisions now. However much you might not like it, the players brought into the dream as well as MP. We lost the driver , and the coach lost its way up the winding road.
-
perhaps the board are calling Liverpools bluff. Things could turn very quickly positive if the board indeed comes up trumps
-
Stevie Gerrard been talking to him for months!!!!!
-
did LS just happen to have a head cold yesterday and not play for England, so that he didnt get an injury before his medical for Man U.
-
and if the Lovren rumour means him going as well? I understand why we are selling 2 or 3 but making statements like nobody will sold until manager is in place etc makes you lose faith in anything they say
-
Hi Foxy, did I miss the list of managers that were going to be released to the fans? not that i want that
-
Thats exactly what I was thinking yesterday. Of course we had Micky Channon to worship as Ron left
-
We struggled to beat BUrnley last season and. Leicester will be decent,QPR will spend to stay up The league is stronger than last
