Remember reading that the Villa programme had an exclusive interview with Dani where he spoke 'candidly' about transfer rumours etc. Doesn't look like a video version's gonna be on Saints Player, so does anyone have a copy they could scan? Or just the gist of what he said, I'd be interested to hear

Basically said that he likes it here and doesn't know where the Jan transfer speculation is coming from.

 

Trying to adapt to the league as quickly as possible but wants to make it a success at Saints.

thanks for posting. as I have said before... the new forest and general countryside is a selling point that London clubs don't have and I honestly think it has a lot to do with the well grounded team we have and the youth players we produce. it won't be for everyone, but who cares about everyone :)

Lawrie Mac commented in his Dairy of a Season that he would always take players he wanted to sign out for a little drive through the Forest and some of the pretty villages around Southampton before heading to the Dell for a chit chat.

i think quite a few players and managers who have been at Southampton have returned and made their homes in the area.

Thanks for posting SG. That interview goes to show that not everyone is driven by the same things and that this area - particularly West of Southampton - can be a very attractive option over London or Manchester for the type of player to fit the club. Like a lot of other people, these very wealthy young men want to put roots down and start a family and would prefer to raise their kids in a pleasant environment. When you have so much beautiful countryside, the local boating/sailing amenities, plus the good weather, who wouldn't want to live here?

Founded by a bunch of pirates using the stolen wealth from the sacking of Southampton in 1338... and still ruled by them.

 

I vote we go get our money back. :x
