Shane Long appreciation thread

[Lovelocum]

Something i heard on SWF, not that it was majored on, just that there had been some discussions.

It doesn’t mean we aren’t going to buy others, i wonder if we are moving AA on (part of the issue is not settling down here), and keep Shane for his place, whilst buying another 1st choice.

Hmmmm maybe. I doubt we will shift Armstrong after only 1 season, unless he’s unhappy. Seems odd though; “grown man on exorbitant salary fails to settle because Southampton is a **** hole”.

I do like long but don’t feel he should be one of our three strikers. Adams Armstrong and Long- hardly gets the pulse rising for next season.

Hold on he came from Blackburn, I lived up the road from there for a couple of years….it’s a toilet of a town

Maybe we flog him to Liverpool.

So, has it actually been confirmed he is leaving? There was talk this week that we were considering offering another year, which I wouldn’t be surprised at.

We’d have to dig this thread up in 12 months time.

Oh god please no

 

[Lovelocum]

Oh god please no

I heard it was a 7 year contract on 65k a week.

I heard it was a 7 year contract on 65k a week.

And he gets weekends off

 

[Lovelocum]

And he gets weekends off

He’s a great influence on the training ground though.

Sorry.

 

[Number 1 Jasper]

Sorry.

Oh .
I thought he could just zoom under his new terms ?

 

[Lovelocum]

No they just have a life size cardboard cutout and the younger players gaze in awe, absorbing the wisdom.

I’ve just realised this is supposed to be the Shane long appreciation thread and all I’m doing is taking the piss. Poor Shane.

Was that Long? That’s incredible. Give him at least a couple more years.

 

[Archers Road]

Tadic was crap half the time though.

And the best player on the pitch the other half

Oh, thank **** for that.

 

[tomw24]

Oh, thank **** for that.

It's the right decision but I think he deserves a bit more respect that that TBH. Has been a great servant to the club.

 

[Ronnie Hotdog (MLsfc)]

He was ruining the average age statistics tbf, had to go.

 

[Che’s Godlike Thighs]

Legend!!!

Retire the shirt! Retire the shirt!!!

Kidding of course. But for me it's a sad day. Love Shane to bits.

Should've been gone years ago if it wasn't for a grossly overpaid contract. Nice enough guy yes, good footballer no.

 

[st_brendy]

Right decision. But nevertheless a very sad one.

He'll always be a legend to me. Thank you Shane.

Agreed but can't fault the guy's effort and commitment to the club. We all know his limitations but he only signed what was put in front of him. Not his problem if the club overpaid him or gave him one too many contracts. Anyway, this is the Shane Long appreciation thread, not the Saints board ****ed things up thread.
