Clarkey123 Posted 31 January 2023 Share Posted 31 January 2023 Very much of the mindset that Vestergaards head is in the F**k you Rodgers + Leicester camp now. Bordering on madness that he turned down Fulham and still after another 6months will take an away day at Gillingham once a year as his only game time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Really don’t understand what chelsea have to do with it we could have done deals in the summer but we chose not to. We dragged out fofana to try and get as much money as we could. Why wouldn’t they attempt to stage payments ? I’m sure we do that. it’s just business - we could pay off vestergaard if we wanted to - I have no evidence but i suspect we chose not to pay him his full wage to get him to Fulham last summer so he chose to stay here and draw it. We would not have had to pay his contract up in one go - it would have been paid monthly as it ticked down over the next couple years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to derail but i raised it in the context of 7-8 year contracts being handed out by them. They’ve ****ed us by unsettling our player and forced our hand to buy this bum and now handing out lengthy contracts that they would hope don’t do a Vestergaard and up sticks. If Mudryk fancies it he could do a Vestergaard for the remainder of his career. Mental Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t it more that City accepted a bid from Fulham but Vestergaard didn’t agree to personal terms (because they were offering lower wages than City)? If City just unilaterally decided to withhold Vestergaard’s wages, the PFA would have thrown a shit fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch Posted 31 January 2023 Share Posted 31 January 2023 I fully agree that the club are responsible for this situation and it's not his fault at all. Having said that.... and I do realise that this is gonna get me some stick but I wouldn't have him anywhere near the first team squad, particuarly the younger players. He'd be training by himself. Surely the culture you want to create within your squad is hunger, determination, a willingness to get your head down, graft and to just want to play. That's not an easy culture to promote when you have players seemingly willing to sit back and collect a wage. Ofcourse, this is based on speculated reports and my opinion only applies if there is any actual truth to it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brookfox Posted 31 January 2023 Share Posted 31 January 2023 The blame for this has be sits entirely with Rogers, the scouts and whomever negotiated his contract. 2 mins due diligence scanning the Southampton message boards would've told us he wasn’t for us. Only positive is the club appear to have learnt their lesson and this windows signings (and Faes) appear to be on paper at least more back to our previous modus operandi. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan, in your view would this situation be easier to navigate should it be the MLB or another American league? Judge’s form completely drops off a cliff, for example, they drop him into an affiliate but he flat out refuses to go and play? Maybe not a good example, but Im wondering whether he’s intentionally worked this out to collect a wage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main has loyalty only to his bank balance and to his family. Get a grip. Football fans are a special breed. Good shout I mean why would a professional chose to do the profession he’s paid handsomely to when he can pick up his weekly salary and be a stay at home dad whilst having full access to 1 of the best gyms around…. Now I say it like that there’s no wonder he’s turning down these transfers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
