Quincy Promes

Can’t see us signing him, think it’ll be tight but my gut says he’ll stay in Russia and we’ll be left with the usual “we tried but it’s really hard” bull**** as usual.

I probably agree that we're unlikely to get this one done, but it is actually true to say it's hard to push a deal through, especially in January when it's known that we have money, and in the modern era of aggressive agents touting players round as many clubs as they can. We might get him at the last moment if he sees no one else is coming in with a better offer and decides we're a stepping stone into the Prem.

 

But greed rules everything.

Moscow want all the money up front apparently and that's a sticking point, or so I'm told.

 

No more news regarding the agent/player's view to the move though.

To meet a release clause it has to be all up front, doesn't it?

 

Could be wrong on that.

I don't have a clue, it's just what I was told today.

I'd assume so.

 

You'd think a release clause would make this one easy if we really want him (and assuming he wants to come to us) then pay the release clause and what Spartak want becomes irrelevant. If we aren't prepared to meet the release clause then why are we bothering?

Fair enough, cheers for posting it- hopefully it won't kill the deal completely dead.

It's worth paying all the money up front. We'll make plenty when we sell him on to Klopp's mob.

Can't see Psg transferring the whole 200m to Barca in one lump ?

La Liga blocked the transfer. So psg and Neymar had to go around it by getting Neymar to buy out his contract. So I imagine that was actually the case. Crazy!

Question already asked and answered.

If we are paying out for Quincy, then I reckon one of Tadic, Boufal ,or Redman is likely to be sold to offset the fee. Redmann is not in MO Pete's planning so I'd go for it being him.

Not sure why a release clause would be all up front but it probably means it can't be conditional - ie you get another £2m once we win the Europa League.

 

Please just sign him Saints. Just effing do it Les.

Redmond is clearly not popular with the fans but i am wondering if the last two managers have made the most of his skills. Isn't that what Pep was on about when he had his chat with him after the Man City game

Sane & Jesus both injured. Audacious loan move on the cards?

Redmond was descent under Puel, especially up to the cup final, think he actually got pretty close to the best out of him. After that he really went of the boil.

 

He's been shocking for MoPe though. Picks the ball up from out wide, level with the top of the box, then runs back in a semi circle and shoots from about 30 yards, normally slicing the ball into the crowd.

 

Not sure if it's tactical or just a complete lack of confidence. Might be a bit of both, to be fair.

Bit of both. Can't be easy under a very cautious coach.

 

The "I'm just doing what I'm told" reaction post City match spoke volumes IMO.

I wouldn’t be that shocked if there was something in the offing with Redmond given how he has disappeared from the squad in last couple of games. Dependant on signing Promes or similar type of player of course.

I do think redmond has regressed more than any other player this year. I don't think he was particularly great last year but its definitely got worse. Whether we would be able to offload him though is a different matter. I do think were we to get relegated he could be a good asset under the right manager and with his confidence back. He has the weapons to be very effective.

Bear in mind Redmond couldn’t even hold down a starting place in the Norwich side when we signed him.

He was probably worth a gamble though. Young and English with a lot of potential, had he come good he would have commanded a huge fee. I can totally see the logic, it just hasn't worked out for whatever reason.

Anyone contemplating signing him should rapidly sign up for a test with a well-known high street optician brand

Come come DT. Supporting clubs our size and in our position is all about unrealistic expectations, and flip flopping between unrealistic optimism and pessimism. No harm being overly optimistic is there?

Please try to get his name right !

Is it Redman with 1 'n' or Redmann with 2 'n's ?

This is true....

 

and

 

"Picks the ball up from out wide, level with the top of the box, then runs back in a semi circle and shoots from about 30 yards, normally slicing the ball into the crowd."

 

...was pretty much his normal contribution for Norwich (except for that good goal against us!).

Redmond was very average for a relegated Norwich to quickly being the next Thierry Henry ffs

 

Poor lad

Pep obviously thought he was decent. Put him with a good coach and he could become a good player. Sadly like Puel the fans have made it difficult

The same way our club have destroyed Gabby too.

A quality striker who knows where the goal is.

We don’t buy success we destroy it. We find potential and we crush it. We march on.

Redmond is in deep **** at St Mary’s, for stirring, poor attitude in training and general laziness.

He was one of the players mocking Puel behind his back and to his face at the Christmas/Awards dinner. Seems to have a bit of an attitude problem.

Wouldn't surprise me. Doesn't appear too have the best attitude on the pitch either.

If he looks like a c-nt, sounds like a c-nt and acts and plays like a c-nt... then he probably is a c-nt.

Wouldn't be too surprised if this was the case.

 

He does like a moan on the pitch...and it may be my imagination, but we seem to be playing with more drive/desire now he isn't in the team. Bertrand certainly seems to have been putting more of a shift in without Redmond in front of him.

Anyway, what news on Quincy?

He's not coming because;

 

- Alex Crook said so

- Les won't dip into his retirement pot to pay the fee in full

- He doesn't like Redmonds attitude

Yes they did, lawyer just gave them a cheque (and then they affected the real transfer). Cheque is now framed somewhere or other.

Nike probably loaned them the money, same as they did with C Ronaldo.

I think this could be part of it. I've always felt his attitude was ****e, or at least he comes across as someone who always whines and blames others for his own mistakes. That backs up fans views of modern players as self indulged, entitled idiots, so I think this doesn't help his popularity amongst us.

Is it significant that his pimpmobile has not been in the car park the last 2 games?

I'd put money on him being that thing

Redmond certainly doesn't seem to have progressed much since he's been here. He's not a regular in the side - although to be fair there are very few players who are regulars under Pellegrino.

Then again I saw Antonio play for us. Seemed quick but pretty brainless and just ran the ball out of play constantly. He went to Forest etc and ended up at West Ham where he became one of their best players and got into the England squad.

I suppose that shows that players develop at different rates and so you don't want to give up on them too quickly.

An example of that was Fulham cup game his first 3 passes went astray then bollocked McCarthy for not coming for a cross.

The Pep thing was obviously just spin. Guardiola has a temper and he just picked the closest player to b*tch to about the fact that we basically sat deep for 90 minutes. Reading it as an endorsement of Redmond's skills is laughable.

It's a shame because I think he could be a very good player. He was excellent in a number of games under Puel such as Watford away and the cup final when he was prepared to run at people.

So is this Redmond guy close to signing or what? Any news?

No but Henry is, or is is Bierhoff, do Prado or Ruudi I can never remember....probably more likely Federico 'The Torpedo' Arias given our current signing policy!

Interesting, and just confirms the detestable attitude he has on the pitch.
