Fonte submits Official Transfer Request

And don't expect morale in the dressing room to improve if Jose leaves this month. Today's news is a side-show, nothing more.

 

Good post cbk, but one thing, do you really think Reed has a say on team selection?

I'd ****ing hope not...

 

I've said this before, and I'll say it again ... THEY WERE PREPARED TO USE HIM. If it was some club policy, or an agreement with another club, they wouldn't have had him on the bench and risk him needing to come on at any point, thereby ruining the plan.

 

Oh go on then.

 

On better news for me personally, I managed to crack one off whilst stirring custard this afternoon.

 

CBK's livened up and he's happy everybody else has too. All we need now is the return of Adkins and we'll all be happy for ever after

 

In some circumstances, yes he does. I think there was some tit-for-tat stuff going on between Reed & Fonte and not playing him in Europe was one way of "showing him who's boss"

 

Who's starting the Saint Davide thread?

 

He defo influenced the Fonte in Eu stuff.

You know, fans moan when we take a stance, we do, and we classed as poop.

Very underused word; poop. Is it more American or Armenian?

 

Is it me , or is Les Reed Teflon coated ? All these things that have happened over the last few years & he seems perfect ?

 

Because HE IS perfect. He's the man I aspire to be, especially as I am him, sometimes, when he allows me to be.

 

Still not sure not on that myself mate, would be a worry if true though for sure.

I'm still gutted he didn't play in any of the EL games though. He should have been leading us out.

 

Did I imagine it , or did someone post the Reed interview a few moments ago ?

 

It's a bit different to this situation let's be honest.

 

I have heard in the past that Les Reed is FAR more influential than people think , but has this Teflon coat . Doubt he suffered when we went into admin .

 

They did, in the other Fonte thread...

Bloody meglamaniacs.

 

Thanks .

 

Was he there when the club first went into Admin, cant recall.

 

So what's peoples thoughts? Refuse or let him go?

I'd refuse it personally, tell him to play until the Summer where we will take a lower fee opening up more clubs of choice to him.

Then the minute that deal is done, I'd be taking Virgil aside and saying "sorry Virgil, we can't be replacing both of you in the same window. You were happy enough to sign a 6 year deal, now we need another year out of you."

Job done

 

No.
