I see his agent has finally got him appearing alongside Wayne Rooney. Just a few years later than planned. |  | | |  |

I find it ironic that people over the years were quick to demand Fonte return and plead for him to be given a coaching job despite no experience.
But when it comes to Adam Lallana they spit on the ground, there wasn't much difference in the way they left, in fact Lallana was at least getting chased by a big club who wanted him, whilst Fonte's agent was just trying to get as much money as he could for himself and for that matter his biggest client Jose Mourinho |  |

The lallana and fonte departures are a million ways different as Fonte wasn’t telling our players to leave for starters and be the chairman’s seed dropping gofer. From recall Fonte wanted a longer contract and we said no and also wouldn’t match the West Ham wage offer. It didn’t work out for him, but he played out more years in France and last season in Portugal winning their league cup. |  | | |

Fonte had signed a new contract in October 2015, he said at the time,
“I’m obviously very pleased and very happy.

“I want to thank the manager, Les Reed, Ralph [Krueger], Katharina [Liebherr] — all of the staff and all of the board — for showing their trust and belief in me.
“I am extremely happy that they are giving me this opportunity to keep being in this great club, and I hope I can give back with good performances and by helping the club move forward.
“This is where I feel happy and where I’ve been very successful, so this is where I want to be and where I want to win.”
But then after the Euros his agent also the manager of new Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho was trying to get him a move to Manchester United, so what changed Fonte's mind about being so happy at Saints.
The answer was money pure and simple and an agent who cared more about money than his client.
West Ham came on the scene later after Mourinho had been warned by the Man Utd hierarchy to stop trying to buy his agent's clients and sign true quality signings | |
