Davide Santon (now retired)


Recommended Posts

The future fee agreed as part of Santon's loan deal is €3.8million (£2.9million), according to Sky Italia journalist Gianluca Di Marzio.

 

Jesus wept.

What a scummy way to behave. Tbh not as upset as some for the loss to the squad, think Haidara and Dummett are probably reasonable left back options. We really need specialised CBs and Santon definitely wasn't one. He still has a lot of potential but a gamble if it paid off.

 

It does however say something about the club that we care little for players who genuinely like the club.

As a stand-alone transfer, I'm really not that arsed about this one. I like Haidara, Dummett is average cover. Spurs at home was one of the worst individual performances I've seen from an NUFC player ever. Was right up there with Cacapa/Portsmouth and his overall form was abysmal around that time.

 

What I don't like is just what this represents as a club though. If we'd went out and bought a centre-back because of our logic being we've got 2 left-backs, we need a centre-back, so we bumped someone on to get a centre-back, I could live with that. This though, it's just getting an easy few million quid for the sake of it.

Chloe Sandersons full tweets before they were taken down if you haven't read it:

 

Just to put it out there, Davide declined Inter Milan’s first offer but was pushed out by Newcastle United to leave.

 

Disgusted with how Davide has been treated, fully fit for a while now with no chance to play – a club whose only intentions are to make £££.

 

And as long as they keep losing players with the passion Davide had, they are killing NUFC, and killing the support from the fans who stick around after all the s***.

 

:thup: Chloe, good lass!

Davide Santon:

 

"I wanted to be clear and honest, as I always have done,"  "She (Sanderson) had a bit of confusion over the last few hours with people saying I first rejected Inter’s offer, then was forced to come here by Newcastle.

 

"None of that is true. I never turned down Inter. As the negotiations all happened on deadline day, I just asked for a couple of hours to talk about it with my family and see what they thought…

 

"After talking to my girlfriend and my parents, all together we decided it would be a fantastic choice and therefore here I am ready to begin with my new Number 21 jersey."
