Fonte posted this Instagram in the New Year....I thought it was telling at the time that there was one photo of him in Saints kit and he didn't look exactly happy. How difficult would it be for him to find one hugging team mates or celebrating a goal.

All eras come to an end and Jose is the last link to the promotion years, he's done his time here and wants a big payday for his swansong. I believe that he has acted professionally and put it in on the pitch this season. It's sad, but at least we solve his replacement sooner rather than later.

Mustn't forget all he has done. Those were good years.

Adam Blackmore and Adam Leitch had a long chat with Les Reed this morning. All to come out tomorrow apparently.

Also Fonte was binned from the Europa League which was weird.

That to me, is still completely bizzare and I can fully understand that he's pissed off about it. In fact I'm still annoyed about it!!
 
I will always think highly of Jose for stepping down a league and helping us get to the Premier League, and for being an inspiring captain for most of our time in the top flight. Whatever went wrong after he came back from the Euro's, it has been obvious that his head has been turned by something, or a combination of things.

For his sake, I really hope he gets a move to one of the Lisbon teams for his last few years. If he goes to another Premier League side, especially Man Utd, I fear we won't see much more of him.

All the best Jose - in my opinion, if anyone deserves to leave when he wants to, it's him. Not overly impressed by Reed going so public when he claims we do all our business in private.

Good luck to him. Has been a great servant at saints. Saints have served him pretty well too. Can't blame him taking an opportunity to play for (Man U?) a big club in the twilight of his career. Huge defining moment for saints though. The last of the Div 1 players leaves.

I would just like to say thanks to Jose now for the past 6/7 years. He has been a rock and a fabulous captain. I am very disappointed in him wanting to leave as I really thought he'd be the one to stay and finish his playing days here and then maybe even become a coach.

I won't wish him luck if he leaves to join another Premier League side because once he does that, I hope he has no luck at all. However, he has been something special for us, just a shame it wasn't a glorious ending. Fingers crossed he ends up in Portugal, but I doubt it.

I so hope we get to Wembley now and he watches Virgil lead the team out from his armchair :)

Exactly my feelings. I believe his agent & his agents top client, Jose Moreno have poisoned him since the summer and this has been a contributory part of the alleged dressing room issues.
As SF4L infers earlier, Fonte should immediately be stripped of the captaincy and VVD installed as the Gaffer

When you look at those photos, I am amazed that Pards didn't make a move for his sister rather than his wife (seen with Jose's arm around her)
 
Jose has done a lot for us. and I will always remember that and thank him for it. But the club has done just as much if not more his career (International level to) over the years. It's not exactly a one way street, which makes it odd when people think the club owe Fonte something. He turned down an extra year extension and a considerable pay rise, which says it all really!

Thanks for everything up to and including Euro 2016.

Thanks for at least keeping your head in the game on the pitch afterwards, if not off it.
