Dark Munster Posted 22 May, 2011 Share Posted 22 May, 2011 £10 million + 30% sell-on + Owen + Hargreaves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint lard Posted 22 May, 2011 Share Posted 22 May, 2011 Does that mean we get Owen? Really think he would have been better served staying for a season in the NPC. Shame if true,as long we have driven a hard bargain and got a good deal out of it. Let's hope we invest in some talent and spend it wisely.

Amesbury Saint Posted 22 May, 2011 Share Posted 22 May, 2011 Very disappointed. Hoped we would keep him longer. Good thing I have not bought my ST yet! (only joking) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinjb Posted 22 May, 2011 Share Posted 22 May, 2011 If true, so be it. Just so long it's resolved early so we can take the funds and reinvest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Tender Posted 22 May, 2011 Share Posted 22 May, 2011 A pity that we couldn't keep him one more season, but although improbable, not beyond the bounds of possibility that we can loan him this coming season as part of the agreement. However, he is only one player and for the fee we are likely to get for him (and the millions to come from selling Puncheon ) we can get in several higher standard players to help take us to the next level in the second division.

haddock22 Posted 22 May, 2011 Share Posted 22 May, 2011 yawn same as the done deal with Arsenal was yeh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted 22 May, 2011 Share Posted 22 May, 2011 If true, then its a great shame, and double disappointment if he has signed for manU. If it is the case then lets hope NC has tied up a mega deal, and we spend it wisely. As others suggest thenPilkington would soften the blow (when he's fit again).

Ewell Posted 22 May, 2011 Share Posted 22 May, 2011 Until it is on the O\S then I shall file this as a 'rumour' despite the fact that nearly everyone else believes the OP. I still fully expect Chambo to leave this summer though and if he doesn't it will be a massive bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deppo Posted 22 May, 2011 Share Posted 22 May, 2011 He better see this deal through, otherwise he will get a reputation as untrustworthy. If I remember rightly, he signed for Arsenal in January and managed to welch on that deal and carry on playing for Saints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkSFC Posted 22 May, 2011 Share Posted 22 May, 2011 Its obviously disappointing if true but unlike with previous chairmen/boards I have no doubt that a)we will get a very good fee, b)most of it will be up front, c) there will be a sell-on clause and add-ons and perhaps most importantly d)it will all go back into team strengthening.
