I think the club said it was agreed with the player that they would restart negotiations after the iwndow closes, which doesnt seem to indicate he wants to be away, but who knows?

fishpaste said that, not the club

fishpaste said we were in discussions but then the club delayed until after the window due to concerns over him wanting to stay (or some other nonsense which didn’t make sense)

I dont remember it being him as I usually just ignore the ****e he posts, but as usual I could be wrong

Exactly, it was over concerns about his attitude in training yet Mowbray loves the bloke and praises him any chance he gets. The players refer to him as teachers pet so god knows how Fishbreath can confidently say he’s got an attitude problem.
 
could have chosen better words possibly but I’d like to think anybody reading it knows that I couldn’t possibly know that myself.

should have said “feels so avoidable”.


I'm 68 soon so want progress ASAP.

But this club has been held to ransom so often it's become intolerable tbh.

I've noticed, over the years, that players who hold out for bigger better contracts never seem to recapture their best form afterwards ...

.... if Roberts doesn't appreciate the chance we gave him, and the encouragement, he can go.

I want to watch players who care as much as I do, which I think is the case with Roberts, or at least make a good effort at pretending.
 
Southampton dont want Roberts. Just playing a sneaky game to see if they can unsettle him before the weekend.

Bet he smashes 2 into the top corner for us and shows a t shirt saying would never play for an ex club of Keegan.
He's injured

And the reason it “feels avoidable” to me, is that you don’t go into a transfer window with one of your best players having less than a year left, unless you want to invite offers for that player.

And if we are trying to renew him and he’s asking to wait until after the window, we should have been actively trying to sell him weeks ago, not now.
I think the whole contract extension and working with agents must be a ****ing minefield. If they know their client can get more elsewhere it's always going to be difficult

Has he?

What exclusive stories has he got right mate?

Things can change, as they say.

So I never judge on particular deals, just lengthy patterns of 'preditions' ...

... Fishpaste doesn't have a great record tbh with very few exclusives.

When he gets something right it seems to be just before it's reported elsewhere which suggests his info comes from journalists rather than the club.
 
My very very limited knowledge of agents.
I am assuming like a club you are only signed to them for a year or two. What percentage does an agent take? Why don't clubs tell players that this is the offer tell ya agent to fk off and the offer is this %age more.
Like I say prepared to be shot down in flames but some agents need twatting.

Yep, no doubt people hear things and those can often change.

Fishpaste has been wrong far too many times to be taken as reliable. Constantly posts negative stories too because they get more attention.
