Saint86 Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 Morgan interested in a move to Arsenal, with quotes http://www.tribalfootball.com/articles/southampton-midfielder-schneiderlin-arsenal-why-not-4013137?utm_source=main_feed#.UymT3_l_s1Q
stevegrant Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 And yet strangely none of the proper news outlets have picked up those quotes. Who'd have thought it.
Micky Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 I'd say that's Morgan pretty much gone in the summer then, can't blame him wanting to play at CL level.

Or was that just an unusually not well informed Equipe rumour ? They don't usually make stuff up, if they print it it's usually got some sort of base facts behind it. So they signed the injured Kallström instead on loan.
Window Cleaner Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 I'd say that's Morgan pretty much gone in the summer then, can't blame him wanting to play at CL level. 25 next November, cross roads in his career, he's really miffed about not getting a France call up apparently, but I think Esruu told us that a long time ago.

Bucks Saint Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 Yep, with his original joining decision, years of service and personal progression, I can definitely see him saying we are not a great club with this: "It is also my dream to one day play for a great club, so why not?" rollocks
scotty Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 The same page says either arsenal or manure will be signing Chambers. I wont have a view on either move until we see what happens in the summer. If the current owners stay in place, its hard to see any player with a long-term contract leaving unless we want rid or it was for silly money. That said, I'd have felt a bit more confident about that if cortese was still in charge.
ottery st mary Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 Where has he officially made the quotes Tribal football alleges? Which interview etc. Not sure there is any official interest from Arsenal...even in transfer window. Then again he has always been loaned to us by Arsenal ... all those years ago..... So some posters/news outlets stated.
Turkish Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 This is virtually identical to the 'Ramirez wants fiorentina' transfer story last year, when all he actualy said was that they'd be a decent club to play for.
Window Cleaner Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 (edited) Where has he officially made the quotes Tribal football alleges? Which interview etc. Not sure there is any official interest from Arsenal...even in transfer window. Then again he has always been loaned to us by Arsenal ... all those years ago..... So some posters/news outlets stated. the quotes come from a telephone interview in Bixenté Lizarazu's monday night programme, Club Liza, I've listened to it and the quotes are roughly as reported although perhaps a little embroidered. In fact Morgan is somewhat evasive on the Arsenal question, says it wouldn't be easy because he has 3 years left on his contract but he hope to play for a top side soon. He was replying to questions about a recent report in the Sun though, how recent I couldn't say. We must have missed it then: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/5447416/Arsene-Wenger-wants-Morgan-Schneiderlin-to-replace-Mikel-Arteta.html Edited 19 March, 2014 by Window Cleaner
sotonist Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 wasn't he asked this question about a year after he joined us on a 4 year contract?
Under Weststand Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 It's going to be long long summer of press speculation, with most of our first team being touted, to be going here, there and everywhere! Schneiderlin has been touted to Arsenal since he's been here, so just another season another Schneiderlin to Arse story.
trousers Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 Of course, wanting to "play for a top club" doesn't rule out playing for Southampton next season....

Very interesting:rolleyes: Out of context springs to mind:) Still not convinced:p Have now read his quotes and fully understand his views........He wants to play for POMPEY one day:D Edited 19 March, 2014 by ottery st mary
Stepgar Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 Ill throw my two pennies on the rumours. Shaw AND Chambers to Chelsea, Lallana to Liverpool with also Dejan. Like I say just rumours - my source? A friend who does not do bull**** was in a box for the Liverpool game was sat with AL's dad and they were discussing things this came out of it. Not sure Al dad would give up that sort of information but he may well know the other bits and maybe said Licerpool were interested. Just passing on what I heard.
Wopper Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 If any of the players want to go let them put in a transfer request.
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 This is virtually identical to the 'Ramirez wants fiorentina' transfer story last year, when all he actualy said was that they'd be a decent club to play for. Or any story where a player/manager is asked if they would like to join 'big club x', which is subsequently translated as "Player x seeks move to Big club y". Kind of strikes me as "well duhh".
Charlie Wayman Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 Silly season started already? I imagine the new chairman will have a few things to say about all of this, doesn't seem to me the type who will roll over and have his tummy tickled by bully boys and silly boys of the London press and their cohorts in Big Clubs. All part of the destabilisation process. Everything these days is part of a process it seems. Saints will field a pretty much unchanged team next season, maybe one or two in and some make weights out but the core of the team Shaw, Schneiderlin & Lallana will be the basis of any subtle rebuilding. Steady as she goes is what will come down from the bridge.
doddisalegend Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 Since the take over how many players have we lost to other clubs that we didn't want to lose.......... the only one I can think of is Oxo. We may not be the richest club around but we're in a good enough place to make ourselves an attractive club to stay at and if a player really wants to go we're a position to get top money for them by playing hardball (and lets face it if they really don't want to be at the club - might as well let them go if the price is right). There is really no point worrying about it to much if a player goes they go. It's what the club does with the money and filling the place in the squad after that player has gone that is the important thing.

Haven't Liverpool successfully challenged this piece of conventional wisdom with Suarez? Agree with the rest of your post.
Doctoroncall Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 Haven't Liverpool successfully challenged this piece of conventional wisdom with Suarez? Agree with the rest of your post. It's difficult to tell what was going on as there seemed to be conflicting information around. Having said that, Liverpool are in a better position to persuade a player to stay than us.
doddisalegend Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 Haven't Liverpool successfully challenged this piece of conventional wisdom with Suarez? Agree with the rest of your post. Fair point I see your Suarez and raise you................. Liverpool got away with it (big time)
pap Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 Fair point I see your Suarez and raise you................. Liverpool got away with it (big time) Suarez's situation is closer to Morg's one, imo. Both established players that already have connections within the club. Osvaldo was a new signing gone wrong. Fair point on Kenwyne, but our situation was completely different then.

Toadhall Saint Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 Of course, wanting to "play for a top club" doesn't rule out playing for Southampton next season.... Hasn't he done an interview recently where he said we have a lot to play for this season. One of those reasons was to keep his place in this team for next season.
InvictaSaint Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 He also says that its his best season England.

You'll get nowhere with that rational, sensible non-sensationalist malarkey on here m'boy.
Hamilton Saint Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 That "article" in tribal football is one of the vaguest, most disconnected pieces of prose I've ever read. Not one of the points seems to link to another. It really adds up to nothing.
Barry Sanchez Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 This shall get dismissed as rubbish specualtion as its deemed negative.
shurlock Posted 19 March, 2014 Posted 19 March, 2014 This shall get dismissed as rubbish specualtion as its deemed negative. No its simply about reading the quote in its proper context. "C’est ma meilleure saison en Angleterre. J’ai la chance de jouer dans une équipe qui tourne bien avec un coach qui prône un bon football, je suis content. Le club veut grandir. On va essayer de terminer le plus haut possible pour continuer comme ça longtemps" = which wasn't reported in the tribal football article. "Arsenal ? J’ai encore trois ans de contrat, alors ça ne va pas être facile. C’est aussi mon rêve de jouer un jour dans un très grand club, alors pourquoi pas" = which was reported. You can either crack one off or wet the bed depending on your perspective.

mini_me Posted 21 March, 2014 Posted 21 March, 2014 Isn't he still on loan from the Arse since we first signed him ?

Webby Posted 14 May, 2014 Posted 14 May, 2014 "Southampton appears to be the shopping destination of choice for European football clubs at the moment." Yeah, only cos that's what the media are telling everyone!
waggy Posted 14 May, 2014 Posted 14 May, 2014 Es aNapoli according to an agent of nothing. http://sportwitness.ning.com/forum/topics/agent-claims-napoli-set-for-swoop-on-southampton-midfielder A simple answer to that problem is if MoPo does a runner Rafa can leave Napoli and come here and gets spiderman into the bargain, everybody's happy.
Lighthouse Posted 14 May, 2014 Posted 14 May, 2014 Has their been a longer running rumour than Morgan to Arsenal? It began in 2008! 13 years later I'm still waiting for Bierhoff to be unveiled at St Marys. I still think the Skacel rumour was the best. It may only have lasted 6 months but it was far more hotly debated. The Morgan thing is more of a slow burner.
Jimmy_D Posted 14 May, 2014 Posted 14 May, 2014 I'm still interested in how the hell we signed Morgan for a reasonable fee when we were absolutely broke, selling off everyone and playing the kids. If I recall correctly, Pompey were reported to be after him as well
patred44 Posted 14 May, 2014 Posted 14 May, 2014 Napoli according to an agent of nothing. http://sportwitness.ning.com/forum/topics/agent-claims-napoli-set-for-swoop-on-southampton-midfielder Bernard Brovarone is an 'football consultant' based in Italy. He is the one feeding the story to the Italian press. He was used by Cortese on several occassions.
