Baird of the land Posted 29 May, 2014 Share Posted 29 May, 2014 I don't understand why people limit this list. If you think all these will go, what reason do you think Wanyama, Rodriguez, Clyne would stay? I think Wanyama will be off very soon. He hasn't been here long, is clearly ambitious and wants to get back to the CL. Pochettinno might sign him again. Wonder if it could continue down to players like JWP and Reed. Be interesting to see what happens as no financially sound club, and certainly no premier league club has ever had a massive sell off. Especially a club doing well. Would seem utterly bizarre to risk relegation and a huge drop in revenues if they wanted to make money. Cortese must be loving it. He can just sit back and convince idiots it would all have been so different under him, without ever actually having to prove it. Maybe saints have an inside scoop that sky is going bust and there will be no more 80m pay days to come. Can't remember a top half club selling more than one of their star players. So the talk of 5/6 players leaving is nonsense, especially as you say the remaining 5/6 first teamers wouldn't hang about either if any club ever did that.

Dig Dig Posted 29 May, 2014 Share Posted 29 May, 2014 Honestly the hysteria on here is palpable. He hasn't gone yet, and if he does I am sure we will get good money for him. I will be as gutted as the next fan to lose a player who has been a talisman on our journey. But we have to accept his age and the possibility he may not fit in the new managers plans. There does seem a concerted effort from clubs and the press to try it on with Saints to see if the change of board has become a change of policy in respect of selling players. This may well be orchestrated from a small bunker near Milan. So what evidence do we actually have? Krueger has repeatedly said we won't sell on anything but our terms. We have yet to sell one player, this includes the Arsenal Schneiderlin bid we rejected in January. I wasn't a fan of Krueger when I met him but would be amazed if he makes a strong statement on Wednesday and sells a club idol by the weekend. It may all go to rat ****, but let's judge it on the whole summer rather than getting all Chicken Lickin. If it is any consolation this is how Liverpool fans are feeling about Suarez and Citeh fans are feeling about Aguero and Toure. Our run of improvement will have to slowdown and reverse at some point. Maybe now, maybe later - but as a Public Enemy put it, "don't believe the hype". Hope you copied this post, you might need to keep trotting it out before all our main players leave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That middle sentence sums up my bemusement - if there's no need to sell and we aren't being asset stripped, why this fire sale? The comparison was Pompey in the late 2000s but that was a club leaking money all over the place and with no infrastructure - hardly true of us. I've tried to ignore the likes of Charlie, Crab Lungs and the other doom mongers but when even the sensible posters think something is badly wrong, then there probably is. Still feel cheated by Rickie and Adam though, stabbed the fans in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sour Mash Posted 29 May, 2014 Share Posted 29 May, 2014 How much are Liverpool prepared to pay for Lambert?

Plumstead_Saint Posted 29 May, 2014 Share Posted 29 May, 2014 Can't deny him this if it's true. He's been a fantastic player for Saints and will always be a legend. That said he is 32, and a scouser to boot, so can't blame if if he wants to join LFC as a bench warmer. Just don't sign before the world cup ;-) oh and he's worth more like £8 million to Rogers!

What i want is for all the three saints lads to remain saints players till after the World Cup . At least I can say we had 3 saints lads playing in the World Cup .

Colinjb Posted 29 May, 2014 Share Posted 29 May, 2014 (edited) Can't help but think of this song right about now. Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young In a world of magnets and miracles Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary The ringing of the division bell had begun Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway Do they still meet there by the Cut There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps Running before time took our dreams away Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground To a life consumed by slow decay The grass was greener The light was brighter With friends surrounded The nights of wonder Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again Dragged by the force of some inner tide At a higher altitude with flag unfurled We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world Encumbered forever by desire and ambition There's a hunger still unsatisfied Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon Though down this road we've been so many times The grass was greener The light was brighter The taste was sweeter The nights of wonder With friends surrounded The dawn mist glowing The water flowing The endless river Forever and ever Edited 29 May, 2014 by Colinjb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
