I am sure the players know that there is a point that they will be sold for (contract caveats aside).

But until that point is reached it is hard luck - players cant force moves or they lose out financially.

Is it still correct that players, if sold without a transfer request, get a % of the transfer fee. However if they put in the request, they waive the right?

Believe that they receive any remaining loyalty bonuses if they don't put in a transfer request, whereas percentage of the transfer fee would be determined by contract clause.

@BigAdamSport: "Yesterday relationship between Adam Lallana & club worsened after a number of his calls to #saintsfc board members were ignored".
 
Not really a players Concern to interfere with matters of players from other clubs. Should be a professional and keep his opinions to himself.
 
Adam Blackmore on the current Lallana situation:

"#saintsfc believe they have more clout to block Lallana move for now because other clubs interested BUT yesterday relationship between Adam Lallana & club worsened after a number of his calls to #saintsfc board members were ignored. He wants chance to play Champs League football like anyone would & is ambitious, which he's stated previously & he feels #saintsfc could/should be more sympathetic toward his stated aim to go to #lfc after years of loyal service to #saintsfc & believes he's not been dealt with correctly by those above him, given his loyalty over the years to #saintsfc.

So if any move does not happen & Lallana stays at #saintsfc then there will be some serious bridge-building needed between player & Reed/Krueger. Now I'm not saying who is right or wrong - I see where both camps are coming from, but I do believe if I was club captain I'd expect to have my calls answered and that maybe board could have managed this situation better. Having said that, they want best deal for club & don't want to be seen to be a soft target for other clubs & want money that they see makes any sale worthwhile - but at the moment there is a problem which will only be sorted out with better communication all-round . Hope that fills you in as to really what has gone on last 2 days, goodnight"

Who knows, maybe Kruegers phone is set to divert straight to Les, who lost his down the toilet?

Perfectly reasonable explanation for it ;)
 
Well, this is only one side of the story so we need to take that into account.

The 2nd thing is AL is under contract, so we are allowed to refuse his move and prevent him from leaving. His being loyal has also enabled him to the recent large and long term contract that he is enjoying before Liverpool or any other club showed interest.

For all we know, the Club may have spoken with AL and told him that it is currently not for discussion until we resolve our managerial situation, as that is our most pressing concern. Perhaps he is persisting in chasing them to let the deal go through - why should they...

If our Board just let him go most of the people on here would be sticking the knife in them, saying they dont have a back bone, are weak and inempt etc. - I just dont think they can win!!!
