Kenwyne Jones

[Ludwig]

Right, this probably isn't reliable and won't come to fruition now anyway. But I've been told by someone who spoke to Michael Chopra that Kenwyne all but had a deal to sign for Chelsea sewn up before he crocked himself vs England. Also said Chopra is going to move, isn't happy with Keane not playing him etc. etc.

 

But, do we have a sell-on clause on KJ? Obviously such a move won't happen now and I know we got Stern + £6M which was a great deal at the time, but I'd hope we got a sell on clause, we could be in for a couple of million at some point, if he continues to progress and the injury (back earliest March apparently ) doesn't ruin him.

I would have thought that as we got a fairly good deal for him that we won't be inline for anything else.

 

£6m + SJ was quite a bit

That's a shame, couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke.

sorry to sound pedantic but Stern John was not in exchange for Jones, inevitably part of discussions but actually a separate deal on a free.

[Wilko]

I always thought he was a crock of ****e.

I didn't realise that. There may be a sell on clause then. I don't remember anything being said at the time though

KJ was one of the best players I've seen in a Saints shirt in recent years. Left badly, very badly even, but I've no doubt he'll join one of the bigger clubs in the near future.
