Transfer Rumour Lamine Kone

[Ashtonian]

Perhaps, just a thought.

This behaviour is less to do with him being a tit or anything and simply because he can see how much of a mess sunderland are in. Taking into account when he was signed in january he had moved from a reletively stable club and probably given promises of stabilising and giving the team a boost up the league under the manager.

then next thing he sees that no-one is getting bought that would improve them, the manager who signed him has gone, replaced by a fella who isn't fun to be managed by lets be honest.

So yeah, the minute a club like everton want to sign you, do you sit and be a perfect employee whilst the club you are at price you out of a move only to then get potentially relegated, or do you ask to leave, on the basis you are improving your career?

Still not decent behaviour but doesn't mean he is a bad attitude player either.

Koeman goosed Southampton.

Arsed?

If Short had given Kone the improved contract he was promised by Big Sam at the start of the summer, this issue wouldn't have ever occurred.

They've only got themselves to blame.

Come on mate. Koeman gave Southampton two seasons and was entering the final year of his contract. It's a world away.

The club just offered him a new contact and he turned it down, just on six months after joining the club on a permanent transfer.

It's perfectly fine to criticise the behaviour of player during this summer. Excusing it because he is due to sign for us is kopite behaviour. Let's get some t shirts and get the players to wear them while warming up to FREE LAMINE from this terrible injustice imposed upon him.

He's behaved like an utter gimp.

It clearly means he has a bad attitude.

not really.

Same as any portsmouth player wanting to jump ship back when they were going out of business. Do you blame them for wanting to leave? Similar situation, it looks dire at sunderland right now and perhaps he wants to move elsewhere to a club who aren't looking down worryingly all season.

If he didn't wear the mask then it doesn't count. Therefore he is not a gimp.
If your going to be a gimp do it properly, mask n all.

It is indeed. What a shitshow football has become.

Compare the attitude and arrogance of these athletes with the various examples of dedication and professionalism over the last two weeks in Brazil.

* not including American garage wreckers and Russian smackfiends

....I'm sure that not all footballers are unethical, on the flip side football clubs are quick to discard young players they feel are not good enough. It can be a brutal, unforgiving game Chico but it can also be magnificent. It's probably best to accept it for what it is.

It's an undeniably gimpish thing to do, yeah, and if it happened to us we'd be rightfully pissed off too, but it's the table we're eating at now it seems. Quite nice to be the ones being ruthless and not the ones getting our shoes robbed for a change.

The guy wants to move, he should be able to do so, we are all allowed to change our jobs if we wish.

That stands for our players too though, we can't be selective over these things.

It's ok, when we parade him round finch farm Christopher will be there in his fluorescent vest complaining about the need for a parade.

Not that that makes it okay. Football isn't really the place to get your fill of good ethics.

After just six months at his new club?

Come on mate, this is a low kop out.

Let's not sweep it under the carpet as he's coming to us. There's loads of transfers every day which are conducted respectfully.

This lad has behaved really bad towards his new club and fans.

 

[flibbyflob]

Just get this done and it gives Moist a chance to spend the money they make. God they need to spend some looking at them. He is cutting off his nose to spite his face if he delays the move.

It's nothing like Portsmouth at all. He's getting paid and paid well. Sunderland are competing in the Premier League, he should at least pretend like he's honouring is contract signed six months ago and give them a full season. Show some commitment to making them better.

 

[witchdoc187]

Next up on that crystal ball.

He's been there barely six months mate and he's already disrespecting the club and it's fans by behaving in this manner. Maybe after he'd put his back into helping improve them for a at least a season or two and showing some sort of honour for the contract he's signed.

Just because he looks like coming to us doesn't mean we should turn a blind eye to this behaviour and make excuses for it pal, we're not kopites.

I'm not making excuses for him. I wouldn't like it it if happened to us. But if I was him and I wanted to play for Everton and not Sunderland and Sunderland wouldn't let me leave I'd make it happen. I wouldn't just play somewhere I didn't want to be with someone paying me less. It makes absolutely no sense. He's obv done enough in the last 6 months (if Walsh hadn't been looking at him before he joined Sunderland) for us to think he's worthy of a bid. To say he should stay against his will for one or two years makes no sense to me. If he doesn't want to be there then they shouldn't stop him leaving. Its just free will isn't it. Contracts are worth nothing in football as we know whether we like it or not is a different argument. We also don't know anything about him, the club or what's driving his decision.

But we've probably offered him a massive bucket of cash and tickets to Blood Brothers. I can see his reasoning.

I agree it's not great behaviour, but pretty normal these days in football.

It's not going to change, so may as well just accept it.........i'm in a good mood today, mrs was feeling frisky this morning, the world seems OK.
