Fonte's Reception

[Saints Fan4Life]

Key words being "not put in a WRITTEN transfer request"

That was my point...doesn't deny asking to leave, just that he didn't put it in writing.

 

[Saints_Alive]

It's not the first and it won't be the last time that a player and club are at odds over a contract proposal, doesn't mean either are in the wrong, just that they can't agree.
Time to bury the affair in the past and move on.

 

[fran-MLs little camera]

Closed matter as far as the club are concerned. And as for the fans, Fonte is no longer here, whereas Reed and the rest of the board are....so our interests are best served by their success not that of an ex-player.

If he's telling the truth and I'm inclined to believe him. I'm disappointed in the club for it's actions.

Just as a matter of interest, why would you be inclined to believe either party? I find it hard in these situations, because the only fact we know for certain, is that he isn't here anymore.

Could've been an e-mail, a text, a whatsapp, snapchat or vine then?

We thats put the cat amongst the pigeons!
Jose has just done a live interview with Jim White on talkSport and I took notes:

1. Have you always admired WHU - throughout Champ/Prem they always had great atmosphere in their old ground. Love the fans passion
2. Loved my time at Saints and have so many friends still there. Achieved so much over the years
3. My time at Saints came to an end for "one reason or another"
4. He didn't put in a written transfer request
5. After the summer success at the Euro's there were a number of offers on the table and discussions with management about leaving but that didn't happen but I didn't put in a written request
6. "For one reason or another it happened"
7. "100% sure all the players will say I am professional and they know the truth. I never refused to play. I don't want to open a can of worms"
8. "I didn't expect to have moved from Southampton but now its happened I am looking forward"
9. Joined WHU because of the manager and the real ambition of the club. They really want to achieve things

Wow......waiting for the response from the club as that contradicts most of the messages coming from them

Points 3, 6, and 7 scream NDA has been signed. Question is, why? He's opened the can of worms as far as he believes he can without overstepping a specific threshold.

Shame Fonte can't let it go.

I'm interested on what basis you believe him. I'm not saying he's not telling the truth but in the absence of further evidence I'd say it's impossible to judge.

Damn...my secret is out.

Curse you Fran ...

[fran-MLs little camera]

The fact is that whatever means he used, he wanted to leave. He can't imply that by not putting it in writing it means that he wanted to stay when he clearly (for whatever reason) didn't. It doesn't make it any better if he used sign language.

Wilson of Bournemouth apparently

Email according to Le Tiss

Wilson of Bournemouth apparently

Can't be - he's still at Bournemouth, isn't he? The article said the player had already moved.

 

[fran-MLs little camera]

I thought Payet...he moved for less money. Jusst proves that injunctions can mean that the innocent can get talked about.

Will we be doing a chorus of "Jose Fonte's Baby", followed by "Jose who is the daddy now"?

"Billie Jean" too?
