Not willing to fight for his place? With only 12 months on his current contract get a fee and let him go as no player than the club.
I wouldn't take the Mickey for something like this mate, but if it's true, it's a bad situation for SAFC. He had a great season for you last year.
I remember reading earlier in the season that he wanted to play at some point for (I think it was) one of the Milan clubs
It would surprise me if he is not willing to fight for his place, but if Nostalgic is correct then we may as well cash in now.
He came to us after failing at Arsenal as he had some very dodgy performances for them but a decent run through injury settled him down here, but there are others out there just as good.
Don't want him to leave,but if he isn't prepared to fight for his place,sell him....but only at the right price for our club.
I think the media have jumped to conclusions but look at the clues. Congerton: “Competition for places is healthy and brings out the best in players. We already have a great goalkeeper in Vito Manonne and another one now in Costel," Pantilimon: “I said when I left Man City that I came here to play and help this team,” “I know he (Mannone) is a good player and a great keeper. “We’ll fight to help this team and get good results.” We've got quotes that imply they'll be in competition together next season, Nowt's backing up that Mannone wants to leave so I'm not too concerned at the moment.
Always a lesson to be learnt , if he wants to move i would rather he did so now so we can move on without all this will he or wont he ,same with johnson ,i hope the jc thing has been a lesson well taken in by all.
