washsaint Posted 6 August, 2014 Share Posted 6 August, 2014 Good man - we need committed players like FOnte. All of a sudden our future is looking much, much brighter and I have every confidence we will go into the new season with a much stronger squad depth than last year and a manager who has a PLan B.

Has his detractors (for valid reasons), but looks set to be a saints cult legend for the modern era. I have always liked the bloke. Good to see his public persona is not hiding some asshole inside. I'm glad he is also not pretending that everything is fine or that he wasn't annoyed about the summer. He is clearly disappointed by it all but despite that is happy to sign up and see where things lead. Very good news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100% Saint Posted 6 August, 2014 Share Posted 6 August, 2014 Fonte is a player who has just not stopped getting better for us throughout the leagues, it would be nice for him to get the captains armband along with a nice 5 year long contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

positivepete Posted 7 August, 2014 Share Posted 7 August, 2014 Surely this weakens his position by coming out and saying he wants to stay? In the same way as it would have weakened the clubs position if we had bought before we sold.

Mr X Posted 7 August, 2014 Share Posted 7 August, 2014 Why couldn't he have said that at the beginning? Funny its after failed Cardiff bids etc the truth is no other club that is higher up the pecking order than saints want him, if they did he would be writing his tweets and transfer request out now, don't get me wrong he has been a great servant to the club but that's the sad truth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How to bend the truth to suit a story? I liked the "Southampton Exodus" angle to the story of Osvaldo leaving on Sky Sports News yesterday, despite it being 1) A loan out, so he's still our player 2) A swap, so we have the same number of players as we had before the deal anyway 3) A player who didn't feature in the last 6 months anyway so had no impact at all on the first team in that time period.
