Calderon's Apology

[Laughing Gravy]

You are a ****.

I bet your one of those pr1cks that stands up and sings in the South stand. Perhaps that ginger one I saw at the Albion v Saints game.

TIT

Gingerism is againts the law you twat Now i have got to change my avatar and i cant remember how to do it, or i could just change it to Inigo is a c)nt

We don't know that Calderon WOULD have left for more money. He just asked to be given the chance to hear what was on offer.

So what do you suggest might have been offered by Saints to tempt him (other than money) then?

Duration of contract? Possibly but not as likely a reason as money would be.

I think this situation shows that Poyet is a with us or against us kind of guy. He wants players here that really want to be here and if someone is any less than 100% committed to the club then that's the end of that thank you very much. I like it.

Quick links at the top and then edit details.

Option for avatar etc etc is at the side.

We offered Calderon a three year deal, Painter and Brezovan only got two years.

I still hope Calderon wlil play for brighton. i will pray hard.

 

[Simster]

I can't help thinking Calderon is moving on because he reckons that "drinking pints of Sherry" chant is so f***ing shit.

Still, at least we won't have to hear it again.

I wouldn't be so sure. The word Sherry should easily be modified to something more abusive...

20 years on from Sergey Gotsmanov doing the dirty on us and going to the Saints this has annoyed me even more! Money grabbing idiots. Hope he sinks without trace.

In a nutshell, Chappers!

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

I agree with the point of view that Gus wants 100%'ers ... I also think that many of us on here would never jump at the first contract we got offered if we had a time limited career.

Not saying he's right but I know if my contract were renewed every two - three years I'd certainly shop around a bit whilst also considering loyalty shown etc.

Yes exactly and I love it. Players have ruled the roost for too long and Poyet is now taking charge and stamping his authority on the side. He's creating a professional and winning mentality and I love it!

May I join those in agreement with these sentiments.

 

[Laughing Gravy]

I reckon he will end up with Charlton or Leeds

 

[Pavilionaire]

My views:

1. It's a backhanded compliment that Southampton - a club on the up - seem to be on the point of recruiting their 4th ex-Albion person.

2. Calderon was very much Gus's man so I can understand Gus being very, very pissed off about all of this.

3. Total team commitment will be key to any chance we have of promotion. You look at the way the Spurs players reacted to their win vs City - that's the sort of unity we should be aiming for.

I buy the idea that the players are only professional trying to get the best deal for their families, etc but - seriously - if the players don't want to play for the manager then get rid. Poyet's an impressive enough character to demand, and deserve, total commitment.

 

[Nappy thrower]

We'd better order lots of humble pie at NSC, just in case he stays.

I can't help thinking Poyet is a little too quick to write people off when they disagree with him / don't dance straight away to his tune.

It seems like Calderon wanted to wait to see Southampton's offer and had not said he would not sign for us.

I am pretty sure most people would want to address all their options before signing. No problem with that.

But for Gus to just withdraw the offer seems a bit petulant to me.

Great bounce i reckon. Nice to see a few people looking like tits in this thread.

Well done to the above posters.

It's not just about hindsight though is it! More a question of common sense.
