I'm not so naive to be unable to understand that players don't care as much for the club as we do and that money doesn't buy this type of loyalty - in fact I've said so in several of my posts on this topic. However, in terms of your hypothetical - of course I would want to move jobs and I'd no...

He could have come out and said that he was still committed to playing for this club and happy to be here, despite wanting the move. By saying what he said about honouring the contract, it seems like he is here under protest - and given his recent absence it does make you wonder. You could say...

Maybe - and as I said some good performances and it's water under the bridge to me. As I've said before, I have no problem with players wanting or asking to go. But at the end of the day they have a great lifestyle - people like us pay pretty much our entire disposable income following our club...

Not impressed with that tweet, as I haven't been the whole saga. "I will honour my contract". Too ****ing right you will - like we honoured yours when you were injured and also at times quite underwhelming. It's a shame he couldn't use words to mend any bridges, hopefully it will be in...

As I've acknowledged in my post - see the word "suggests" and elsewhere, it's speculation. I don't begrudge any player who wants to move clubs, or indeed who asks to move clubs. I do have an issue with players not giving 100% to the club they are contracted to and therefore the supporters who...

I agree on last year's performances. If Stephens comes out now, says despite asking for a move he is perfectly happy to be staying and willing to put the effort in for us, then I might agree with you. Unfortunately too much of the last few weeks has suggested that his attitude is not so great...

Hmmmmm. Agree with most of what you've said there but not that.

So professional that, depending on what you believe, he has been unable to do his job properly for the last 3 weeks because either a) He is unable to give 100% due to the prospect of getting a slightly better job elsewhere (whether that is his or CH's assessment) or b) He came back from the...

I hate to say it but my view is that Chris Hughton is lying when he says Stephens isn't refusing to play, or being very economical with the truth, e.g. Stephens hasn't refused, but has asked not to. I don't buy the fitness argument - whilst he might not have played blinders we've seen already...
