Look at him, the tight **** is even drinking cheep Kiosk coffee from a cardboard cup instead of the fine filtered coffee from a diamond encrusted, golden coffee mug I'd use if I had his money.
Sorry mate I had thought you had once said your hobbies were painting and gardening, but I must be getting my wires crossed again. Anyway keep on keeping on.
Get yourself a job down the South Park marra... I've just been down with the dog and parts of it are a disgrace
MOYES STANDS FIRM WITH WANT-AWAY KONE CHRIS SPARKS @chrissavedlatin 14 mins ago 252 reads 3 min read 0 comments Sunderland manager David Moyes is standing firm as Lamine Kone and his agent try and force away a move from the Stadium of Light. Kone, who only arrived on Wearside in January, has his heart and his wallet set on a move to Everton, with the Toffee’s lodging a £18-million bid for the Ivorian last week. Kone had originally stated that his reasoning for wanting to leave Sunderland was because the Black Cats had apparently gone back on their word and failed to offer him a new contract for keeping the club in the Premier League. However, fast forward a week or so, Sunderland have offered Kone a new deal, and the Ivorian and his agent have refused to listen to any offers made by the club. please log in to view this image Stu Forster/Getty Images Sport Kone and his agents lies are making them look foolish but they are also placing the club in a difficult situation. The Black Cats have just sold Younes Kaboul to Watford for £3.5-million after the Frenchman cited personal reasons for his desire to return to the South. Moyes does not wish to lose another defender, with the club looking to add to the squad in the coming weeks rather than further dent an already thin team. Ivorian Kone, A day after rejecting a new contract from Sunderland, reported for training yesterday complaining of a ‘back injury’, despite the suspiciousness of the timing, Kone will be ruled out of tomorrow’s clash with Middlesbrough. Despite the clear hostility surrounding the situation Moyes does not rule out Kone staying on Wearside this summer. Speaking to the Express, former Evertonmanager Moyes states that he will not be told what to do by any players, with the Scot putting his stamp on the squad. “We offered him a contract and he said no. His choice was still to go. We’re disappointed but he’s still under contract for four years. It’s not too big a deal for us. Players will go when we tell them to go, not when they want to go.” Love that quote from moyes, that's the attitude David, bravo
I think that`s a decent summary of how most of see the situation. Well said Moyes but can we afford to let him rot?
To be honest now..I would sell. He clearly doesn't want to play for us, assuming Moyes can use all the money he gets for a replacement..get rid, The greedy twat doesn't deserve to wear the shirt
We've ****ed half the squad and I can't see Kone being on silly money. He was only 5m unproven overseas cb. Be suprised if he's earning in excess of 25k and I can't see wages hitting 70% of Turnover this season unless Short goes divy and sends Bain to 'Arrods. I think we could let him rot. We could ****ing break him. But then, I don't trust the club at the moment either. The club could be taken the piss with the contract offer and this back problem is him taking the piss back.
I don't think it's personal. I think he'll sign a contract with anybody who pays him what he wants. Question is who's taking the piss here? I suspect it Kone is asking for something daft like 60k+ but I don't trust the club either at the moment and wouldn't put it past us to offer an extra 5k on say a 25k contract. Certainly with Kone being greedy and Short being tight it's never going to end well.
Must admit I like the sound of that. Refused a contract so he stays and stagnates on the old one. See what he thinks of his pissflap of an agent then.
