eurosaint Posted 25 February, 2013 Share Posted 25 February, 2013 You've been due some good news too. Really not that uncommon. Most left handers are right footed. Myself included. Strange really, I have 3 grandsons, they are all right handed but left footed ! Funny old game ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 25 February, 2013 Share Posted 25 February, 2013 what absolutely terrific news. Feels like when Lallana signed that five year deal. Always thought he would be a Premiership player and give it a season or two and he'll be regarded as a top Premiership player. Very happy indeed.

Suomi Saint Posted 26 February, 2013 Share Posted 26 February, 2013 Actually, it doesn't mean much IF we get relegated. Contracts are quite meaningless these days.

Pilchards Posted 26 February, 2013 Share Posted 26 February, 2013 Kelvin Davis has served longer. Very true. Davis 2006 Morgan 2008 If he did get to 2017 perhaps he might be the longest serving foreigner? Waiting to be corrected again:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToreSF Posted 26 February, 2013 Share Posted 26 February, 2013 Kelvin Davis has served longer. So has Lallana (2006). Current players with most apps: Kelvin Davis: 283 Lallana: 212 Schneiderlin: 184 Lambert: 184 Hammond: 145 Fonte: 137 Guly: 102 Shows a pretty good sign of continuity that we have six players in our our first team squad with over 100 appearances, especially when you take into consideration that we played in league one three years ago.

ToreSF Posted 26 February, 2013 Share Posted 26 February, 2013 Yes indeed. Hlaf the team: must be pretty unusual, and a pretty interesting fact; good selection of players or good management? Combination of both, I guess. All of them are players who had the potential to become good PL players when they came, but not without guidance, good management and experience through first team football. Imagine in three years time, I guess we could add Shaw, Clyne, Forren, Cork, Ramirez and Jay Rod to that list. Davis and Guly would probably be out, but Lambert could still play a role. That could make our starting eleven consist of 10 players with over 100 apps. Maybe not to likely, but would be a huge strength IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guan 2.0 Posted 26 February, 2013 Share Posted 26 February, 2013 Nice to see MS bigging up Lambert as well: http://www.clubcall.com/southampton/saints-midfielder-expects-lambert-call-up-1552786.html However, Schneiderlin insists there is much more to Lambert's game than grabbing goals and has backed the Saints striker to impress if he is given a chance at international level. "He can keep the ball, he gives you time to breathe, he's a very good player," the Frenchman told the Daily Echo. "Out of my four goals I've scored this year, he's passed me three times the ball. "He is someone who has great vision as well." He added: "I really hope that he's going to get what he deserves, which is an England call-up. "Seriously, I don't know what they're waiting for to call him up. "He has scored 12 goals and I'm sure he will score even more." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avenue Saint Posted 26 February, 2013 Share Posted 26 February, 2013 Excellent news! Lovely to see the day finally arrive where the likes of our best players are signed to long term contracts instead of picked off by "bigger" clubs. There was a time which all no doubt recall, when this wasn't always the approach adopted with those entrusted with the keys of our special club.

Wes Tender Posted 26 February, 2013 Share Posted 26 February, 2013 This is great news. Schneiderlin is a player who is growing in stature game by game and beginning to make the pundits sit up and notice his ability and assurance in midfield. His tackling and accurate passing are seldom bettered by players even in the very top teams. He can't be far off being capable of playing in any of those teams and not looking out of place. He and Cork have forged a great partnership in our midfield and there can't be many others in the Premiership better than theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said that last week I was instantly told by fans of other clubs that they're nowhere near. Apparently Tiote and Cabaye, and Diame and Noble are streets ahead !! Are we going a bit too far? Or do they just not watch them play so don't apprectiate how good they are. Morgan and Cork are excellent IMO and we're very lucky to have them.
