Transfer Speculation / Gossip

[Villafirst]

Delph, Vlaar & Gabby's contracts need to be sorted pronto. Regardless of the club up for sale, the club still need to sort their long term contracts. Or is Randy going to sell and reduce his losses? Crazy when you consider the millions in TV and ST money coming in. Be glad to see the back of Lerner.

I said this a while ago. The club are seemingly running about buying a load of tat without addressing the really important matters .
I actually think vlaar will be gone straight after the WC .

According to the Sunday Mirror Lambert has just £10m to spend this summer including wages.
Not good if true.

Which is why Delph Vlaar and Gabby have no contracts on table.We will see them all walk for free if we are not taken over.

how would Moxley know that?

I don't know. Perhaps he made it up? I hope so, else it's yet another relegation battle next season.

I don't doubt that while we are for sale that Randy won't be extravagant with essentially someone else's team. That said I always find it funny when members of the media quote hard numbers. In this case, for added shock value Moxley even adds that it includes wages.

I find it hard to believe we're going to be restricted that much financially. He'd have to be absolutely stupid to think that would be enough, and Lambert would be nuts to put up with it.

However, I do think we're in for a summer of cheapness, sadly.

Perhaps Mr Lambert threw Moxley a bone. Lambert has nothing to lose by saying it either. What's Lerner going to do? Sack him? No chance.  Yet again with Aston Villa, it's the fans who suffer.

[Steve67]

Oh, and if this is true, we may only have, say 5mill left to spend this summer, for God's sake, spend it on a tough central midfielder and not another fricking left back!!!

But would it really surprise you. The reintegration of the Bomb Squad was a major indicator that we've little money for new players IMO.

If I was Lambert I'd certainly leak that info tothe press to protect my reputation, after all he'll probably be seeking a new employer sometime next season.

Also with Lerners recent track record a virtual freeze on spending is quite in character.

[pauliewalnuts]

Don't get me wrong, I totally agree with you re there being little money for players, but 10m in total, including wages?

That's what I find hard to believe.

I know we've seen a truly spectacular loss of interest in the last two years, but he'd have to have some sort of vendetta against the club to instigate a tightened financial policy - worse than the one we already had, under which we barely survived - which would pretty much mean another season of relegation fighting. One we'd have an increased chance of losing.

If true, I don't think we are in for a relegation battle, I think we'll be nailed in certainties. When the press said we were appointing TSM we all said it couldn't be true. When Lerner said we were up for sale, we said he must have a buyer lined up otherwise announcing a sale leaves the club, players & fans in limbo. Anything, including profound stupidity, is possible.

That's so depressing.

Depressing in terms of what you're saying, but even more depressing because it's true.

I genuinely think Randy has lost the plot. Says nothing for years and years, then comes out with that "why aren't you all driving around Centenary Square, with fit women sat on top of your cars, waving claret and blue flags and bibbing your horns to celebrate our point at home to Southampton" then a couple of weeks later comes out and says "yeah, I admit it, I've had enough, I am trying to sell us" but then throws in that utterly weird shite about the Shummanites.

[pauliewalnuts]

Oh, and then that freaky thing from General K on the OS about how Randy has many missions in life, talked about his 'writing' and has many options regarding what to do next.

All that stuff - let's be honest, it's more than a little bit weird, isn't it?
