Jagielka and Kaboul are more than competent to play in the Premiership still. I haven't really got any time for O'Shea as a footballer anymore.
Too old with a dodgy track record of injuries though for the three of them to be the bulk of our options.
That fat, scruffy ****ing ****er Porky Parry was on the radio today saying that Everton have every right to hold out for as much as they could squeeze for Stottless. When asked about Sunderland doing the same for Kone he replied, well yes but there are limits. Fat, ****ing , toffee slug.
@SkySports_Keith BREAKING: Lamine Kone has tonight handed in a transfer request to Sunderland. Statement to follow... Spoke too soon...
So he was full of **** all along. Or This is what the club want so he in not entitled to any bonuses. Which is why no new contract. Either way the club need to be strong in terms of value. He should not be allowed to speak with anyone until a fee is agreed. Tell Chelsea Arsenal and Everton to make us an offer. Largest offer over 25m wins. The player can then talk to that club. It's time to maximise the asset. If the club **** this negotiation up they are dead to me. This should be like taking candy from a baby.
