Andy Durman Posted 24 June, 2015 Share Posted 24 June, 2015 (edited) Clyne has had plenty of opportunity to sign his new contract. He hasn't done so for various reasons. Clearly he doesn't want to be here. Saints don't need players like him. We need players who are proud to wear the shirt. Goodbye Clyne thanks for everything. You got to love autocorrect.

Bucks Saint Posted 24 June, 2015 Share Posted 24 June, 2015 I don't know one way or another whether the Metro report is true, but it could be a clever tactic by Saints if they have accepted Liverhampton's £15m bid. If he doesn't fancy Liverpool it throws the ball firmly into his court to either sign a new deal or they sell him to Liverhampton, or he gambles on waiting for United to come in. Except he does not have to do any of these. We cant force him to sign for Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly he doesn't want to be here. Saints don't need players like him. We need players who are proud to wear the short. Goodbye Clyne thanks for everything. How do you know he doesn't want to be at Saints? He may be happy at Saints but want to see if a better offer comes along - it hardly makes him the sort of player Saints doesn't need. If anything, I'd rather have a good player who attracts interest from other (better) clubs than one who isn't as good and has no interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelman Posted 24 June, 2015 Share Posted 24 June, 2015 Many players seem to like to be able to play near where they grew up. He was born in Stockwell, so the closest (Prem League) is Chelsea, then Palace (but we can discount them I would presume). Others then are WHU, THFC and Arsenal.

Window Cleaner Posted 24 June, 2015 Share Posted 24 June, 2015 If he wanted to be at Saints he would have already signed an extension. Not necessarily, perhaps the contract being offered isn't very good and he thinks we can do better. Doesn't mean he doesn't want to be here at all, just that we might be taking the p*ss on terms.

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 24 June, 2015 Share Posted 24 June, 2015 If he wanted to be at Saints he would have already signed an extension. Sorry, not sure I follow you on that one. You only want players at Saints who want to stay at Saints no matter what the interest from other clubs? I honestly don't think there is a single player in our squad that loves Saints to the point they would do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Warrior Posted 24 June, 2015 Share Posted 24 June, 2015 Im still with King Billy's information re hes staying. Until such times as I hear differently also Clynie is reporting back to the club a week late due to his England call up . I expect Clyne to sign an extension to his contract with us then. assuming King Billy's info is still correct Im sure RK is fully aware of Clynes intentions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 24 June, 2015 Share Posted 24 June, 2015 If he wanted to be at Saints he would have already signed an extension. no reason for him to do so.

buctootim Posted 25 June, 2015 Share Posted 25 June, 2015 We bought him for £2.5m and have probably paid him around £6m in wages in the three years since. If we sell him for £15m that means we got the three years free and made a profit of £6.5m. No too shabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sour Mash Posted 25 June, 2015 Share Posted 25 June, 2015 £15m is a good deal, just pay it FFS. I don't know why it's just Liverpool though. He's a damn good full back and would improve at a big club I'm sure. Thought Utd was more likely. Arsenal should just give us £50m for the pair and be done with it. There must be a load of deals waiting to happen across some of the bigger clubs. I'd expected both Manchester teams to have been a lot more active in the market so far.

Yeah, must be like being bored but comfortable in a safe cosy marriage, fancying some other bird who doesn't fancy you back (but might next year when her current partner's not up to it any more) and having another one (or two) you don't really fancy trying to entice you with promises of all sorts of exciting things you're not currently getting at home.

alpine_saint Posted 25 June, 2015 Share Posted 25 June, 2015 Curious that they can play hardball over Sterling, but we should just bend over a take a shafting from them. They really cannot be endearing themselves to our board. Especially as the papers hear about it before them. We want 15m. They have offered only 2/3 of that in cash. As has been said, they have hopefully received an immediate refusal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 25 June, 2015 Share Posted 25 June, 2015 12.5m for the player we saw from Aug to Dec is a steel. 12.5m for the player who was average from Jan to may is good business. Sent from my SM-A300FU using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelman Posted 25 June, 2015 Share Posted 25 June, 2015 In perspective (maybe) Cech - 1 year left - aged 33 with prob 6-7 years left in him at the top level - one of the best goalies around - £11m Clyne - 1 year left - aged 24 with prob 8-9 years left in him at the top level - a very good defender, but by no means one of the best - £12.5m I am sure neither Saints nor Liverpool will disclose either the actual amount, nor the conditions and I for one am not going to get hung up on what the papers say about it. Maybe we have included a huge sell on clause in lieu of £2.5m - who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Balls Posted 25 June, 2015 Share Posted 25 June, 2015 Seen a lot on here and twitter saying it's a sideways move, all for money etc. Come on, it's not a sideways move. We have won 1 major trophy in 130 years and just celebrated finishing 7th. They had a terrible season yet played in the Champions League, got to 2 semi finals and finished above us. He'll virtually guarantee his England place. And yes, he'll probably double his wages. Who can blame him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
