Calm down everyone. Adam gave us 14 years and stuck with us when we were playing in league one when he could have pushed for a move back to the prem.
He is 26, wants to experience the champions league and keep his england career going. If it was you what would do? When he returns to st marys I will be applauding as he has been a terrific player for us.
As for shaw he (and his agent) have gone for gold. He is a great prospect and at 34 million quid of united money we would have been mad to say no. Panic at old trafford in my view. he is 18 no champions league experience and just three england appearances one of which was a competitive game. We know he is good but the expectation at that price and that club will be huge.
Koeman has a job on that is for sure and if we do lose two or three more players he will need to rebuild team sprit and playing style.
Liebher has not sold us, we have a new board, manager and what will be a different squad from last season. Could just be exciting for us.
If this happens then agree with all the above. For Rickie fairy tales will have come true. His goals were crucial in getting us back into the prem but a lot more than just a goal scorer as his england starts have demonstrated.
MOPO has gone to a club that has not won a League championship in 55 years. They have never won the either the European Cup or the Champions League.
The man himself had one good season at Espanyol and of course one good season for us where his tactics caught a lot of other clubs by surprise. He, as yet, has no major prize to his name. I wish him well, but spurs are neither an elite club and as yet he is not an elite manager.
He is in fact Spurs third choice as Van Gall has gone to Old Trafford and De Boer is happy at Ajax.
The guff printed in the echo today regarding Liebherr and the Board at SFC
is just that, Guff. Better analysis and opinion are expressed here on this site.
Adam wants to go, Luke will go and I would suggest that once Spurs and the rumour machine had got going on MOPO
he was always going to go as well. He had the opportunity on several occasions over the last few weeks to come out and state his intentions. He failed to do so. He wanted to go.
We remain a well managed prem club wit a great youth system. We cleared the best part of 80 million on the eighth placed finish and the clubs revenue has increased considerably.
My hunch is that the board far from 'being played' by MOPO were ready this and will be sorting out the new manager as we discuss the issue here. My money is on Yakin the link with Liebherr and Kruger may be too obvious but he would fit the bill a young ambitious manager who gets the best of out of his squad. Anyone see how Basel played in the champions league?
I have heard that other clubs are interested in some of our young stars
C'mon we all know that. The real issue will be if we can persuade them to stay.
This will be down to the management team explaining to us the fans, and demonstrating to the current squad that we will improving our team with some quality signings and stating our intention to go for a top four finish.
Am I being over optimistic? Too ambitious perhaps. If we do not get that sort of statement and those new players them Poch, Adam and the rest will be off for sure.
Its down to Liebherr and the new guys. A big moment in saints future is I believe .
The statement from Les Reed should put an end to the nonsense posts.
His statement sets out what saints want to try and achieve. I hope we keep Luke, Adam, etc etc but football being football and clubs with more clout than saints are out there we may lose a player or two. Hope not, but it will be the players who want to go not saints need to sell.
We have moved on, c'mon look where we were just a couple of seasons ago.
