This doesn't look like a good move for us and the fee being bandied about is very poor, even for a guy with a year left on his contract. De Jong wouldn't sign a new contract though and we need total commitment. Failure to replace him adequately will be the real sin.

Sinclair's in the last year of his contract and we're stumping up 8 million.

Johnson left for 10 million with 2 years to run on his contract.

We gave Everton anything from 12-15 million for Rodwell.

And it appears De Jong will be leaving for as little as 3 million.


It isn't hard to see why Marwood comes in for some stick.

Somewhere Sabster and blueplan are having a party.

I have nothing against him.

The only thing I was against was his portrayal as some sort of ultimate don and as one of the best DMs in the world (of which he is not even close). He could have been useful this season but very very rarely he will suit italian football.

I quoted the fees as I knew them.

So in essence you want to keep a player who won't sign a new contract, and a player who wants to leave so he can get regular game time. Hardly inspires good morale

I'd rather have got another year out of De Jong than sell him for peanuts, Rodwell aint ready to step into De Jong's shoes I'm afraid.

As someone else said, i suppose the real sin is in not adequately replacing these players, if they have to go then yeh fair play, but the replacements haven't inspired me at all.


It's dead easy spending other people's money tho

Say what?
