Summer window

I’m expecting an exciting day, with lots of new and exciting talent

 

Mate, not sure who you're talking to but I have about a dozen on ignore, who I didn't see much constructive chat or anything really, and it improves things massively. Try not to pull the trigger on that too early and might be missing some class banter but on average reckon after a week or two of constant negativity and presenting rumour as fact to fit a narrative you can get a feel for it!

 

Gravy m8, he’s just pure gravy.

 

I was surprised to see the Michut rumour but I agree he's a quality player. He doesn't get a nosebleed getting forward but I think he would be the most natural player to mould into the DCM role. He's a scrapper.

 

Clarkes not happy now, he said Burnley offered us £10m but the club won't sell. this is a disaster waiting to happen, have they any idea what they are doing ?, it is not to get us promoted by the look of it we cannot replace Stewart or Clarke. i am duffing the Soton game game now. i hope 20,000 more do the same.

 

last day again, are we all worried/frantic/angry yet?

24 hours and we will know what it is and what it is, is what it is

keeping my faith here despite these 'late comers to the party' jumping in with negative posts, strange how they all appear almost at once when someone who knows someone who went to school with someones aunty who used to be a dinner lady at some now closed school for the insane....(etc etc)'...heard something from a bloke he once bought a horse from.

 

So cos Clarkes not happy you want 20k season ticket holders, who’ve already paid their money btw, to not go? I don’t follow the logic here mind, you either support the team or you don’t imho, the fact one player spits his dummy out (which I don’t believe btw), shouldn’t make you stop supporting the team, it really shouldn’t. Unless of course you’re taking the piss and I’ve reacted to a whoosh? But if that’s the case it’s not a v good one.

 

I'll throw my two-penneth in:

Out:
Stewart, Gooch, Pritchard, Embleton, Bennette (Loan), Taylor (Loan), Roberts

In:
Rusyn, Keifer Moore, Aouichiche, Virginius, Buckley, Michut

 

Cheer up @monty987 I think I've got you a date @Kipper

 

Think there may be a few looking at Keiffer Moore tomorrow

 

What do you propose letting Clarke also go? Good idea! Duff the game please the idiot quota is already full

 

So the model isn't to get players who have a potential massive profit to sign on the dotted line for as long a possible, so they either play for us for as long a possible or we get maximum profit I we do sell? I thought that was the whole point and asking as Roberts wasn't asking for daft money they should have been trying for 4 years minimum still only 30 at the end of it.

 

I'm none of those. I'm genuinely intrigued about what is going to unfold tomorrow.

I think a lot of the Internet talk tonight is just speculation and panic fuelled by Southampton's bid for Roberts, helped along by a few ****-stirrers. It's no good worrying about something we have no control over. Just see how the day unfolds tomorrow. Just because we've accepted a bid for Stewart doesn't mean we're going to sell off all of our assets.
Fortunately, our recruitment team are a little more level headed than some of the people who have been thrown into panic mode. Roll on tomorrow.

 

Seems a good replacement for Stewart mate. I was impressed with him when he was at Barnsley and his goalscoring record at championship level is fairly good. He has a good touch for a big man, runs the channels and holds the ball up well. Hope we go for him and get him over the line.

 

Bang on mate. Let's see where we are after tomorrow and in the meantime try not to panic too much. There's no reason to.

 

My thoughts exactly - let's see what tomorrow brings because at the moment, with regards to Roberts, it seems as if we are getting worked up by rumours from people that are normally ignored (given that it is for £4m by the same club who are willing to play £10m for a player still recovering from a serious injury!!! Imo, if Southampton were serious, then unless it was daft money, then I don't think we would sell him this window.[/QUOTE]

 

I agree, but that's an eventuality that needs to be planned for when you're at the stage we're at.

 

Good point well made

 

we'll onion new contract is 3 years with option of another so don't see why we wouldn't offer roberts the same

but from what i've been told we have

jack clarke has also been offered one
in clarks contact he gets a pay rise in jan

in the new contract we've offered he gets that pay rise now with another pay rise on top in jan
