Do The Sun hate us too!!?

[Le Tissier's Laces]

So The Sun (yes, I know, I know) have posted their bargain team of the season, which contains Kone but not Rickie. Their "moneyed flop" team of the season has Gaston in. Oh the joy. It's here if you feel a desperate need to see it.

Rickie's not there because all of those moves were made this season.

 

[TheSecondStain]

Silly really, but oh my goodness, Rob Green was FREE but considered to have been a flop.

 

[Saint Elsewhere]

Lucky that all those loan players play for free really isn't it

 

[Le Tissier's Laces]

Rickie's not there because all of those moves were made this season.

Very true.

 

[Mikey]

Considering a lot of Saints fans consider Gaston a flop, not surprising some journo's would too, based on nothing more than his price tag and MotD highlights in all likelihood.

 

[Matthew Le God]

Silly really, but oh my goodness, Rob Green was FREE but considered to have been a flop.

He is on a contract worth over £2.5 million per year.

Yes, I realise he would have been paid [ouch, that is serious money].

 

[Bloodandskin]

I hate the Sun, I only come out in the dark, and that is where their sorry excuse for reporters are!

 

[Schad]

He is on a contract worth over £2.5 million per year.

And as a Prem-quality keeper moving on a free, I'm imagine that the signing-on fees associated were not inconsiderable, either.

In fairness to Green, his chances have been very limited this season through no real fault of his own.

Didn't they hand him an opportunity and he dropped it..?

 

[Qwerty]

There weren't really any other expensive bad goalkeepers to choose from.

 

[Le Tissier's Laces]

Yes, but then he was put in a pretty horrendous situation when they brought in Cesar just as he was stepping in the door.

Lets be honest, no body is going to argue with Ramirez being included in a "flop" team of the season.

 

[SFCJordi]

Twelve million pounds for Ramirez' contribution this season? Justified inclusion IMO.

Green played really well against us at St Mary's when he came on. He stopped a bullet header by Yoshida from close range. That was an amazing save.

 

[saintgreg10]

Feel a bit sorry for Jack Rodwell being included in the flop team. He's spent much of this season out injured so it's hardly his fault he hasn't made a big impact.

Can't understand Monreal being included either - bar a couple of errors, he's actually been pretty decent for Arsenal.

 

[benditlikeabanana]

more to the point, why is Clyne not in the bargain team of the year?

 

[SamKimish]

Surprised not to see Clyne in there or Davis in midfield.
