revolution saint Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 apparently......http://www.francefootball.fr/#!/news/2011/08/11/134609_schneiderlin-objectif-la-premier-league-en-2012.html Helps if you can speak French but basically signs til 2014. Good news. Apologies if posted elsewhere.
Saint Garrett Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 Thats fantastic news if true...one I personally have been waiting for.
Dig Dig Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 I heard he was going to. It's not been confirmed by the club yet though. Maybe Fonte next as well
hypochondriac Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 Fantastic, that's one thing I wanted. As you say just Fonte as that is the lot!
Saint_lambden Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 This window has been fantastic..only set to get better too!
View From The Top Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 I'm staying with Morgan's agent in France. True story.
shurlock Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 Yep- basically saying that the NC's hopes for prem football next season is what swung it, that the sale of Oxo will let us get in 2-3 players etc
SNSUN Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 Potentially the best signing of the summer if this is true. What a good news day this is for Saints. (Potentially.)
SuperMikey Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 Fonte will sign a new contract this week as well. FACT.
HK_Phoey Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 Said a few times Fonte is the one I am waiting for. Only player other than Lallana and perhaps Lambert that picks himself
The Kraken Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 Good news. I wasn't too surprised about this one though. I could be mistaken, but i believe that Morgan is now considered a home grown player with us, as he's spent 3 years here before his 21st (he turned 21 last November but I'm sure that season counts). As a consquence we would have been entitled to a development fee for him if he had left when his contract expired., so it's in his interests to presumably get himself on better wages for at least a season then see what happens. I'm sure MLG will be along soon to correct me on that, but that's the way I read it.
Asaint4ever Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 best signing if true! him and cork in the middle please!
SuperSAINT Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 Brilliant if true. Massive fan of his. *fingers crossed*
sussexsaint Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 This for me is the best news, Morgan is a quality player.
Saint_clark Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 Can't believe he's still only 21. And according to Wiki, 5 games away from 100 games for us.
Avenue Saint Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 If this is confirmed, absolutely chuffed!!! This was the one I've been waiting for. Fantastic!
Scoobysaint Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 Midfielder French of Southampton, age of 21 years, will extend until 2014 with his club promoted to the English season in D2. (Photo press-Sports) "Morgan, why you ready to extend with Southampton where you came in 2008?" Because I am there feel well. There is a very good sports project, and the club is based on very sound bases. The President has big ambitions: he wants to climb the next season in first League. This is that seduced me. Here, I hope grow and, why not discover the elite. Southampton was still a few years before due to financial problems. But its infrastructures are those of the elite club. The club has it carried out therefore recruitment, to ride in 2012? The leaders were sold to Arsenal Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (international English for 18 years, conveyed hopes for 12 ME). It will allow them to return money to funds to recruit two or three elements. They want to hang dams late in the season. For now, it is second after beating Leeds 3-1 (1st j.). "I've progressed physically since my arrival." We can imagine that the Championship (English D2) is rather physical? Since my arrival, I have a year in Championship and two years in League One (D3). In Championship, it plays well with the ball, even if it is physical, as the answer to the contacts. League One... A is not of poets? There are good teams, but not poets! The essential was to get out of this division. It was done. I try to give me the means to not return to. I have physically progressed since arriving from Strasbourg. Why did you leave Alsace, at the age of 18? The Racing came down in L2. I felt that it would be hard to have time to play. In addition, it was time that I was there. Southampton, which was then in Championship, told me that he wanted me to find the Premier League. It has not happened like that, but I have not lost my time. There are youth who partent in major clubs, but evolve with the reserve and have no set time that I had. In addition, I was called in hopes by Erick Mombaerts, after making all selections of youth without interruption. I hope have shown that I have made progress. My ambition is to reach one day to the highest niveau
SuperSAINT Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 Which manager signed Schniederlin originally? Lowe, after a glowing recommendation from Georges Prost, I believe.
Bearsy Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 They want to hang dams late in the season. What a lovely sentence. I wonder what it means?
trousers Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 What a lovely sentence. I wonder what it means? I believe it refers to an ancient French tradition of beaver grooming
trousers Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 The President has big ambitions: he wants to climb the next season in first League. So, the 5 year plan is now a 3 year plan? Excellent
sotonist Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 He signed for us too late to be considered home grown for champions league purposes. Sell him!
Dark Munster Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 A is not of poets? There are good teams, but not poets! I'm confused. Is he referring to L1 or the Championship when saying there are no teams of poets?
Golden Balls Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 He's so classy. I really hope we keep him for a long time as he is a good prem player in the making!
revolution saint Posted 11 August, 2011 Author Posted 11 August, 2011 A is not of poets? There are good teams, but not poets! I'm confused. Is he referring to L1 or the Championship when saying there are no teams of poets? League 1.
Andy_Porter Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 Brilliant news, best news Since Cork signed. Fantastic.
CWD Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 Hasnt happened until its on the OS. This. Obviously though it's potentially great news. If Morgan can sort out his consistancy he'll be a top player imo
ottery st mary Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 I hope it is true and that he continues to develop hare at Saints.... Will be part of a very strong foursome playing for 2/3 places each game... Well done Saints and well done Morgan.....
The9 Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 Potentially the best signing of the summer if this is true. What a good news day this is for Saints. (Potentially.) He's about 5th choice in midfield on current form, I'm not sure how you can come to that conclusion.
23rdSaint Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 He's about 5th choice in midfield on current form, I'm not sure how you can come to that conclusion. 5th choice?! Wow, how'd you work that one out?
S-Clarke Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 He's about 5th choice in midfield on current form, I'm not sure how you can come to that conclusion. How is he 5th choice????? All the 4 midfielders will play an even amount of games this year IMO - Deano and Cork will be the preferred 2, but all 4 will play quite a lot.
saintscottofthenortham Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 He's about 5th choice in midfield on current form, I'm not sure how you can come to that conclusion. Lol.
Chez Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 Absolutely fantastic news, this guy is a very good player and better than most give him credit for. Not sure why we've not read it on the OS though, why would they hold back revealing that? Doesn't feel right.
Thedelldays Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 Great news. Did nit realise he is still very young. Going to be a brilliant player very soon League 1 toughened him up no doubt
SNSUN Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 He's about 5th choice in midfield on current form, I'm not sure how you can come to that conclusion. I still think he has the potential to be our best central midfielder. Better than Cork even. Tying him down to a long term contract will stop vultures seeing him as a cheap signing. Granted that Hammond, Cork and Chappers are in better form at this moment in time, but we must remember he was out quite a long time at the tail end of last season. Give him the time and the experience to develop, and he could be here for years to come.
shurlock Posted 11 August, 2011 Posted 11 August, 2011 Before his injury at Walsall, he was hands-down our best midfielder (on form). That night also showed that it is necessarily 2 of 4 as Adkins was quite happy to start 3 CMs.
