Martin Lol Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Jon Obika to Yeovil on loan for 3 months, that's 3 Spurs youngsters there now. That's 12 now out on loan, 8 from the Academy, not like Arsenal's system, but a lot better than we've done in the past. Inglethorpe must be doing something right.

midds Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 BBC reporting that Everton have rejected Lescott's transfer request. Never seen the point in clubs 'rejecting' transfer requests from unhappy players. What did they do, stick their fingers in their ears and go "la, la, la, la, can't hear you, la, la, la"? If he wants away then they should do the sensible thing and try to get the best deal they can for him. Rejecting it just seems petty and futile.

You don't need a youth system anyway, just any player that says he'd like to play for Arsenal and Arsenal don't want you sign But in all seriousness, i think that not taking part in the reserve league seems like a good plan and getting as many players out on loan as possible Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely a player they are resigned to losing would cost less than one they expect to keep! Once a player formally says he wants away it's a bit daft, imo, to keep him. I'm assuming they've tried to convince him to stay but they've obviously failed. His head's been turned and he's going. Best thing they can do is to strike the best deal they possibly can. Everton should tell City they can speak to him this afternoon if they cough up £20m. That gives Everton plenty of time to replace him before the window closes. The more they refuse to accept the situation the less time it leaves to replace him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, Everton must be pissed off. They offer him a better deal and extension about a year ago and then he does this. What's the point in a contract? Couldn't agree more but at least Lescott has had the decency to ask for a transfer which means he probably forgoes any loyalty bonuses written into his contract. He's being open about it and he wants a transfer where he'll undoubtedly sign an even better contract at City than the improved one he's currently on. If I wanted to move to a different company on a much better wage, I'd resign and start work at the new place without any problems at all. Can't see how Everton, or any club, can possibly refuse a player a move if they've put a formal transfer request in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Where City are concerned and with some other clubs (eg. Bassong to Spurs), I don't understand why players are so reluctant to put in a transfer request. They are going to get a huge payrise and signing on fee which surely must negate whatever their loyalty bonuses are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatwax Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Just stupid rumours but there are small winds of air blowing around that Ribery might go to either Inter or Juventus. It is said that Bayern are pretty upset with Reals ways of doing business and it's common knowledge that Inter and Bayern have a good relationship. Would make me hurt my panties. Also said that Inter are looking to sign Gourcuff Wouldn't you be against it since he's ex AC Milan? He's clearly a young talent but I thought AC and Inter fans hated the idea of having a player of the opposition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are going to get a huge payrise and signing on fee which surely must negate whatever their loyalty bonuses are. Because if they don't, they get a huge payrose, signing-on fee AND a loyalty bonus when their club finally caves in as they're desperate for the "big four" cash...

Guest Roland Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Boudewijn Zenden will choose between Blackburn, Hull City and Portsmouth according to NL media. Blackburn also is interested to sign FC Utrecht player Silberbauer. He is a attacking midfielder, played for FC Kopenhagen before he joined Utrecht 2 years ago.

Ashley17 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Reading have apparently agreed a fee for Ross Jenkins. Tommy Smith will be off also. This is not good. I feared for you the moment you appointed Malky MacKay. Nothing against MacKay himself, but promotions from within are usually epic fails. Hutchings at Wigan Roeder at Newcastle (after the caretaker spell) Adams at Portsmouth Sbragia at Sunderland And probably others that I can't think of right now. Whereas on the flipside I can only really think of Jol at Spurs where it has worked, and that was because he was there about 2 months as assistant under Santini. Unless you count Vialli at Chelsea, but he didn't exactly break new ground for Chelsea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
