You’re right. Stop the stadium development, foraging into international markets and match day income. Let’s just loan our way to Vestergaard’s lunch money and paying for his new born baby while he tells the media he wants to play again…

We could also do a better job of offloading our contracts instead of, say, leaving it until transfer deadline day to see if Vestergaard wants to go abroad to a total basket case of a club that just sacked their sporting director and might sack their manager 6 months into his job.

Doubt we would be offering 15m and doing medicals if we were waiting for one of these scrubs to leave

Grown adults criticising a professional, a professional for choosing to stay in gainful employment and maintain his current life setup over taking a (temporary) job elsewhere. The main has loyalty only to his bank balance and to his family. Get a grip.

 

Football fans are a special breed.

Makes me laugh when people roll out the "secure his family" line for Premier League playes. He's a top flight player on a huge wage.

It doesn’t suit me that he’s being offered active chances to go and play (as is in his job description, if you want to go there), but he’s turning them down to do the absolute bare minimum and rot away in our reserves.

 

The club shouldn’t have offered him the deal, but all this move to absolve the guy is bizarre to me. Usual suspects though, so I’m not shocked.

The only party who has no chance of absolution is the club in this case unfortunately- the we shouldn’t have signed him, everyone saw it, and yes it was a panic after Fofana, but that smacks of lack of knowledge, we must have known other names, and it not fair to blame him for his 80k, for his not wanting to move or for not playing, because we (the club) did all of that 

 

I know it sucks

Yes, Saints are well chuffed 

[HankMarvin]

I heard him and Bertrand just sit around playing cards reminiscing about the good old days at Southampton. Lumping on huge amounts whilst listening to “I got 5 on it” on repeat.

If its a loan deal his full wages would be covered anyway, clearly quite content not having any involvement in matches 

Assume you mean he wouldn’t be losing a penny if he took a loan deal 

 

I go back to the new child which someone mentioned a while ago 

 

the club would have spoken to him or his agent about his mindset re moving out on loan (either this country or abroad). Either he/they have lied to us or the club is showing it’s intent to move fringe players out, even if they know it won’t happen. He had nothing to gain by hiding the truth so I guess it’s all just a big charade

They’re giving him opportunities though. I think it’s yet again another horrible deal (and by the way, why I think Boehly’s approach will fail). 
 

Let’s all agree that the club and he are both **** ups. Seeing posts siding with the guy about family, choice of club etc and defending him are just bizarre to me.

 

Try walking into your boss tomorrow and telling them you’re going to sit on your arse for 18 months more with your wedge and not do what is asked of you. It’s maddening and if we get relegated, is a serious serious problem.

People say this all the time about players that are totally out of favour. It makes zero sense. 

 

So you want to pay what they're owed, but upfront, now and lose they player, when there's a chance that 1) they might get a loan or cheap sale, 2) you need them 

No of course I don’t. I was just being a baby about it!

[FoyleFox]

Anyone still got a number for Wasilewski, he'd sort out encouraging the knob to leave

[reynard]

Hopefully we've made it clear to him that he won't get a squad number and will only play for us again if we have nobody left to play.  Also what is his agent advising. he won't be getting anything out of the current deal

Fire guard please go 🙏

1) Friendly match

 

2) Horrific tackle by Fer Nino

 

3) Our brightest prospect defender breaks his leg - in a friendly!!!!!

 

4) Only 20+ days until the window closed.

 

5) Jonny Evans still out injured for several months having limped out of the FA Cup final.

 

6) Club panicked and with the clock ticking took a punt on Vestergaard because other options were either deliberately too expensive or now unavailable.

 

Sure in hindsight its been a real bust of a signing, but at the time we had our backs to a wall with options.

 

So we should all actually blame that c**t Fer Nino, not Vestergaard......  Without THAT tackle, we wouldn't have signed this lanky streak of P....

Remembering that this slob exists makes me irrationally angry. Piss off you Herman Munster slag.

Indeed.  And people berate the fact that Akinbiyi cost the club millions of pounds.  

 

When we did go down those on bigger money were legends and were on a fraction of what this guy is on and he hasn't even played.  

 

It's a disgrace.

What do you mean by that? It's not like he's refusing to play for us (as far as I know anyway) and although I agree it is odd for a professional footballer to not want to go and play football, especially on a loan where he'd be making the same money, he's not under any obligation to seek out or agree to a move. It would be more like if your boss never gave you any work to do because you're too useless to be trusted with anything but you carried on getting paid regardless.

[KFS]

And while on the topic of Boehly… Fofana’s involvement in our club created a butterfly effect that has impacted our trajectory. 
 

A club of our size trying to punch up have to be near on perfect. Instead we panic bought this guy because of Fofana’s injury.

 

The rat bag then screws us late in the window into accepting a staggered payment deal that we’ve only just checked (meaning arrivals this window). So now we can’t pay off Vestergaard who’s impacted our FFP structure, we’re a player down and Chelsea are amortising their way into 15 signings. 
 

Whole thing stinks really.

You seen him under the ball mate? He’s absolutely refused to play for us  Maybe not intentionally. That Spurs disaster. He must have had a bet on that result. 

[fox_favourite]

He’s grabbing a free wage…cancel his contract and make an example of him.
