OldNick Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 West Ham go back today and he is going up do the finalities of signing. No surprise there.
sussexsaint Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 See, no matter how rich we become we are losing our best players with precious little time to get more. So long mate and thanks
Bakovnetski Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 Shame. But you cant blame him with the continuing uncertainty. He proved to be a better keeper last season and showed some loyalty towards us by not legging it sooner. Will be missed.
Chez Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 See, no matter how rich we become we are losing our best players with precious little time to get more. So long mate and thanks transfer window closes end of August and there is still time after that to get loans in.
sussexsaint Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 Depends how long this flippin 'minor issues' take to resolve themselves - the last lot of 'minor issues' weren't resolved in a 21 exclusivity period
NickG Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 If players are worthy of premiership or CCC then some of them will migrate in that direction. Our recovery, if it happens, will only need to be an incremental growth. All we need are good league 1 players - as long as we have decent league 1 level players - hopefully best in their position for the league - well organised and managed we will go up.
The9 Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 Depends how long this flippin 'minor issues' take to resolve themselves - the last lot of 'minor issues' weren't resolved in a 21 exclusivity period I don't think "not having any money" is a minor issue. This time the money is there.
DT Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 West Ham go back today and he is going up do the finalities of signing. No surprise there. Pillow talk?
Miltonaggro Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 KD was great for us last season, and will be missed but I have much faith in Bart and Sunny Forecast...
Dog Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 Great keeper, thanks for your time. But if picked for West Ham he will be out of his depth in the premiership.
DT Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 Great keeper, thanks for your time. But if picked for West Ham he will be out of his depth in the premiership. Do you think he'll get a game there?
miserableoldgit Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 West Ham go back today and he is going up do the finalities of signing. No surprise there. Not sure where this has come from. Wotte said on Saturday after the Eastleigh game that once the take-over went through he would be talking to KD, BWP and SJ about staying/new contracts.

qwertySFC Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 too busy biting it to talk Liberal party talk ............
miserableoldgit Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 well lets see today. Wotte should know more than me I`m not saying that you are wrong, it`s just that Wotte said this about KD,BW-P and SJ, in his interview on Solent (heard it again this morning). It may be his use of English, but he also definitely said "when the take-over happens" not "if". Then again, I could just be straw clutching!
Bailey Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 Won't hold it against Kelvin if he does officially leave today, but I still hope that he sticks around for a few more days to see if a Saints takeover is forthcoming. The guy has been first-class for us and we will definitely miss him. Should he go today, then I wish him all the very best at West Ham.

The guy has been first-class for us and we will definitely miss him. Should he go today, then I wish him all the very best at West Ham. Totally agree - he was outstanding for us and I truely pray he can wait another couple of days. He's shown so much loyalty to our club after only being here a short time. My heart says he'll wait - my head says he'll go - please heart be right just once :-)
eelpie Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 Shame. But you cant blame him with the continuing uncertainty. He proved to be a better keeper last season and showed some loyalty towards us by not legging it sooner. Will be missed. Kelvin showed CONSIDERABLE loyalty and belief in Saints. He will be much missed on the pitch. Quite a character imo to have proved his detractors wrong. I hope Kelvin goes on to big things. He deserves it.
Hopkins Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 Idiot for going there. He really is. If he honestly thinks he'll get first team football there then he is in for a big shock. He should have joined a Championship team. Idiot.
mickyp Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 cant work out why he is going to west ham? surely he will only be backup to green unless he is off
ecuk268 Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 Idiot for going there. He really is. If he honestly thinks he'll get first team football there then he is in for a big shock. He should have joined a Championship team. Idiot. Depends what he wants. At his age, this will be his last big contract. He'll be on Premiership wages and, although he probably knows he'll not be first choice, financial security is probably his priority.

The guy has been first-class for us and we will definitely miss him. Should he go today, then I wish him all the very best at West Ham. While I agree that Davis is a good keeper, I wouldn't lose any sleep if he left. There are always plenty of good keepers available and most of them would be bigger and more commanding than Davis. That's not to mention Michael Poke who could be a decent keeper at L1 level. I'm not so confident about Bart or Forecast though.
L1Minus10 Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 Not sure where this has come from. Wotte said on Saturday after the Eastleigh game that once the take-over went through he would be talking to KD, BWP and SJ about staying/new contracts. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo ! WOTTE OUT!!!!
ART Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 Very sad indeed as all he's going to West Ham for is to play second fiddle. Even sadder is that we can't be near a takeover or something could have been done. Fry is playing blindman's bluff and unfortunately all us Saints fans are taken for idiots whilst he takes us for a ride. Sad to see you leave Kelvin, we obviously aren't anywhere near being able to say we can offer you a deal.
Saintjersey Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 Idiot for going there. He really is. If he honestly thinks he'll get first team football there then he is in for a big shock.

The9 Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 Idiot for going there. He really is. If he honestly thinks he'll get first team football there then he is in for a big shock. He should have joined a Championship team. Idiot. Yes, how stupid, he's probably doubled his wages.
Bailey Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 To those that can't figure out why Kelvin is on the verge of joining West Ham, I suggest it has a lot to do with what's best for his family, financial security and getting one last big pay day before his career comes to an end. Playing for West Ham means that he won't have to move house again, and baring in mind how settled he and his family are in the area, that will no doubt have been taken into consideration. As a result, his kids can continue at their current school too. In an ideal world, Kelvin would stay at Saints and be our skipper next season, but he has a deadline set by West Ham too. If he hasn't signed on the dotted line by that deadline, then Zola may well start to look elsewhere at other alternatives.
Billy Bob Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 how did bart and TF play saturday? we've seen bart play well and terribly recently in the last few years, would L1 not be his level?
rallyboy Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 the poor bloke has just spent a year at the end of a firing range surrounded by idiots. He must be shell-shocked and have the Nam stare, so a few months sat on a bench, a Premiership wage and the occasional run out in a big game is a no brainer. Ditto Surman - he couldn't say no. It is when players go on strike/depart muttering about going to 'a big club' that they deserve abuse - imo. Good luck to him.
DrZuess1979 the 2nd Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 And dont forget, that its not that far from his home. His wife did say she didn`t want to move
Nineteen Canteen Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 Idiot for going there. He really is. If he honestly thinks he'll get first team football there then he is in for a big shock. He should have joined a Championship team. Idiot. Firstly, Kelvin Davis was absolutely committed to this club and it was well known he wanted to stay. Not sure how that makes him an idiot. Secondly, a players career is short and he needs to make adequate provision for himself and his family, the same as the rest of us and the security of a contract I suspect was in the forefront of his mind than his selfish need to play every game as 1st choice. Not sure how that makes him an idiot Thirdly, he can only join a team who come in for him so I think we can assume he wasn't offered a No 1 choice at a Championship club so not sure how that makes him an idiot. Finally, if the Swiss had not taken a guarded approach to let the Pinnacle Circus and legend mascot into the driving seat for a media joy ride and ridiculous and unnecessary delays I have no doubt Saints would have been in a position to secure Kelvin's services to the end of his playing days but time has run out and clealrly Kelvin can't afford to wait any longer with NOTHING CERTAIN. So who is the idiot? Hopkins, Lynam, MLT, Fry, Crouch, McMenemy (did he come out in support of Pinnacle at the 11th hour?), Fialka or Kelvin Davis? I don't know the answer but it's definitely not Kelvin. Are you the idiot Hopkins?
Nineteen Canteen Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 I'll just clean this thread up a tad... Az, allegedly some may say you were a bit previous with that aerosol spray.
Fergie Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 At least this might give bialkowski or forecast a chance to prove themselves? Always thought Bialkowski was a good keeper and now he might be given a chance to develop even more. This is if the club dont buy another keeper...although i cannot think of anyone who might be better and want to drop divisions to come here? Bialkowski for number 1 i say!
Master Bates Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 Bialkowski for number 1 i say! I agree, but only if we get a David Coles type as goal keeping coach. Speaking of which, found an 'old' interview http://www.great-save.com/Pages/featcoles
Saints foreva Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 Thanks KD, I think he has tried to hold this deal off for as long as he could. Bart for number 1, gives him a chance to regain some lost confidence.
Chez Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 no brainer leaving us for a premiership side. If Green gets injured then in he comes, and while he waits for that chance he'll double his wages. I know he wants to stay in the area as he kids are settled but thats quite a tough old commute isn't it?
Arizona Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 Az, allegedly some may say you were a bit previous with that aerosol spray. Perhaps, but it's almost impressive how you managed to jump from 'Kelvin Davis leaving on a free transfer', to 'MLT should never be allowed to work at the club ever again' in just one post. You are within your right to post that on the endless other threads discussing takeovers. However you don't need to turn EVERY thread into a slanging match between Mole, Alpine, yourself and anyone else daft enough to bite.
