Nathaniel Clyne Joins Liverpool - Official


Saint Garrett

Recommended Posts

...I have a feeling that we'll hear of another new contract being signed soon. I think the big clubs have moved away from him.

 

 

Clyne ??

 

Any idea on why they have moved away ? (unless they have watched his last few performances) wages/attitude etc ???

 

He would be idea for a top 6 club playing in Europe to fill the homegrown quota

ALVES CLOSE TO MAN UTD DEAL?

 

Manchester United are very close to confirming a deal for Barcelona right-back Dani Alves, according to Catalan newspaper Sport.

 

The paper report that the player will snub Barca after United offered him a contract that was ‘far superior’ to the one on the table from the Spanish club.

 

The 32-year-old is available on a free transfer as his contract at the Nou Camp expires this summer.

 

Signing a 32 year old right back doesn't exactly smack of forward planning.

Maybe they don't see the point in paying big money for someone who will be free next summer?

These top clubs don't really forward plan, it's about the here and now for them. They'll just spend £30m on another RB in a year or 2 if that happens, no problem for them.

 

I mean Liverpool are looking to replace Gerrard with Pirlo......I thought the whole reason to let Gerrard go was to evolve his position with a younger player...but Pirlo?? Cracking player, but what have you got, 1 year max out of him? Sensible move.

But look at last year, they replaced Evra with Shaw, Evra's had a good season at Juve I think, Shaw has has his usual sick note troubled twelvemonth. They were mad to let Evra go really.

Pirlo would be better than Gerrard is now when he's 63

The Northern Journos like Ogden, Ducker and McDonnell have been mentioning Clyne as a done deal to United for months, the same way they were "briefed" about Shaw.

 

With the Saints reopening talks and Alves speculation it suggests to be that someone is trying to hurry a decision along.

Actually I think it would be a decent signing for them and I'm not a Dani Alves fan.

 

The problem that United have had is that they have for last 15 years or so replaced their centre backs as a pair - you had Bruce/Pallister, then Stam/Johnsen, followed by Vidic/Ferdinand. It should have been followed by Chris Smalling and Phil Jones but neither has come up to scratch. It means they're likely to have a fairly inexperienced centre back partnership - likely to be Daley Blind + one other. Alves will provide some much needed experience at the back (provided he's not on all out attack!)

According to this interview with Les Reed Clyne has got himself a new agent, after binning his last one, so possibly not such a done deal after all.

Can't he sign up Morgan and Toby to his portfolio as well??!!

 

Toby would stay but out of his hands as we are not the owning club

Morgan.......who knows ......but we are the owning club

 

So lets wait and see ................and the Clyne situation is not resolved yet...........

Holy Cow! Would be outstanding if Clyne does stay with us. I'd probably experience a pants explosion if Morgan stayed too...

 

Morgan is the only I think who will be off (from the list of "expected players to leave" in the summer) - it's hard, but I do think the guy deserves to push on with some Champions League football, wouldn't begrudge him it at all.

 

Although I'd love to see him in Europe with Saints and end up having a testimonial, but hey ho.

It IS hard to begrudge him a move, but I wouldnt be happy if he went to an English team - would be easier to take if it were to a Foreign team.... at least then we dont have to play against him

 

That being said, I can see him going to Chelsea

He won't oust matic at Chelsea. If city don't get pogba he might go there, counts towards home grown quota I think.

 

He does under current rules, but if the new rules are implemented he would not count as home grown (in England, would still be home grown in France).

I think Mourinho is keen to move Ramires on in the summer and Fabregas doesn't really fit the deeper role - Morgan would probably end up playing alongside Matic if he went to Chelski.

Matic and Morgan partnership would certainly be formidable no a lot would get past if Jose decided to park the bus !

Personally I'd say to Clyne "we're happy to let you go for free next season as by then one of the academy lads will be ready to step up therefore saving us a transfer fee , so your better off signing a new deal on higher wages and we'll let you go next time" !

Be fantastic if he signs a new deal. If not that is to be expected from most, maybe a slight chance he'll be here next season more so than Morgan as Clyne is a couple of years younger but I too have noticed the last few games he doesn't look the same as earlier on in the season.

Utd no longer in for Clyne or Clyne no longer in for United? Utd saving face?

 

Who knows, either way Clyne staying would be a huge boost. Despite the recent dip which could be for many reasons, he is the best RB I have seen in my time at saints.

i agree he is good but not the best we have had, imo.
