12 months ago we would have bitten somones hand off if they offered that much for Callum. Its a cracking deal for us...... as long as the money goes back into the squad. Lets just wait and see who comes in.

it's irrelevant what we would have done 12 months ago
 
They were the ones who promised "open communication" Beefy, not us.

But when we didn't get any communication from Cortese, that got criticised too.

Opened, closed. Promised, not promised. Fans moan. Fans criticise.
 
I want him to take a few lessons in positivity. Tell us we WILL make BIG signings. Tell us we should get excited. He'd never get me into bed with that limp approach! :(
 
Really not that bothered or angry with Chambers. It was never going to be viable to keep two quality right backs happy. I always prefered Clyne anyway. Anyone witness Chambers last 20 min he played for us? He was terrible.

I already said they have been naive in not thinking the situation was this bad(players wanting to go etc). They choose to do the whole bunker down and not say a word, which sometimes works. The fans moaned at them for not saying a word and now moan when they put out a statement. No club will be 100% open with fans, specially with what has happened. You can't moan at them not saying anything and then we they say as much as they can say mian again.

he already tried getting our hopes up and look how that worked out
 
But why not ? THAT is the question !!!

Because he's getting paid more than double what he was on at Saints & he thinks he's got a fast-track into the Champions League.

Same reason you wouldn't see you future in your current job if another company offered you a massively better package.
 
Perhaps not , but surely a significant one , esp if rumours are true that Callum's Dad is viewed by quite a few as a promising coach , but Les does not agree in a BIG way ......

Nah my bosses gf hates me you don't see me looking to leave. Now if I was offered bigger wages at a bigger company I would take it. Personal differences mean nothing as long as people are respectful to each other.

Tried being silent to. Nothing will work until we get players in, but people will still moan then probably.

Walcott & Oxlade-Chamberlain (injuries aside) haven't exactly gone on to a higher level ability wise.
I would say that it's the injuries that's more of a problem at Arsenal - young players of theirs often get injured and it surely affects their development. Walcott, Ox and Ramsey have all been out for long periods this year, and Wilshire's been injured too - and it happens every year. If Chambers gets injured in the next 12 months in training, Saints should be pointing out to any players of ours that think about going there that they should think twice.

I have heard they are not .
 
Chambers had no right to demand a move. If the club had said no, he would have accepted it and got on with things. It's bullshit.
