Shane Long

[Hopkirk]

Is Shane Long the new Peter Crouch, constantly moving from club to club?

Why do these good players keep moving?

[saintpeter48]

journeymen footballers, one minute they're kissing the badge, next they're off for a bigger payday!! I'm a Saints supporter and it looks like he's making a whistle stop with us!!!

[Hopkirk]

Crouchy passed through there as well didn't he?

[saintpeter48]

yes he did, scored a few then moved on, here about 6 months, 20 odd games about a dozen goals ...... no loyalty these days, as i said, journeymen footballers.

12 million for Long?

Well over-priced, Hull knew Southampton had made a lot of cash in letting their best players leave and so cleverly got an inflated price for an average player

[Hopkirk]

The Baggies apparently get £600,000 from a sell on clause.

I'm sure Jeremy will look after that, Hopkirk !.

[Hopkirk]

Probably use it to pay off a sacked manager

[tonyav]

I think your probably right, Hopkirk.

[tonyav]

Funny how some peoples views on player change.

Blimey! Joe had three Baggies in his team!

(No Villains though)

[tonyav]

T'was a long time ago though, Hopkirk ;-)

[Hopkirk]

Oh yes, so your quality has risen then?

[tonyav]

We won yesterday away from home, how did the baggies do ?.

[Hopkirk]

Better than I feared.

[tonyav]

Got to admit I thought we'd get a draw at Stoke.

[joeluke]

Tonyav......my opinion of Long hadn't changed, I said at the time he could move to a bigger club and he since has - onto Hull and Southampton

[Hopkirk]

Oi! Joe! No!
