Saint-Armstrong Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 I suspect that's the last of him in a Southampton shirt then! Across a seven-year spell after joining in 2008 from RC Strasbourg for a fee of £1m... Apps - 260 Goals - 15
Snopper Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 Que sera, sera and all that. I hope he stays but if not I will be forever grateful to him for the contribution he has made over all that time.
Lighthouse Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 Well that's the end of his Saints career I guess. I just hope he goes to one of the Champs League clubs and not Spurs or Liverpool, as he would be a massive improvement for those two.
S-Clarke Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 Balls. Had a feeling that was the end when he walked off last weekend. He's been a joy to watch these last 6 years.
S-Clarke Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 Les has said he's staying. He hasn't, really. He's basically said there's no intention to sell, but he said the same last year re: lovren/lallana/shaw etc
hypochondriac Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 Has served us fantastically and if he wants to leave he deserves a top club. Quality player.
SuperSAINT Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 He hasn't, really. He's basically said there's no intention to sell, but he said the same last year re: lovren/lallana/shaw etc Yeah, there's no mention of what happens when they go in and ask to leave after the last game like Shaw was rumoured to have done.
Marino Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 Thanks Morgan - you've been a pleasure to watch. Good luck and thanks for your loyalty.
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 That's two players inc Davies of Spurs who slipped on Saturday on the over-watered pitch to suffer season ending injuries
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 My favourite player of the last 7 years. Shame to see him now out like this, would have liked to have said 'goodbye'. Best of luck to him.
ladysaint Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 I am absolutely gutted, Morgan has been my joint all time favourite player. I cant believe that I will most probably never see him again in the red and white stripes. Thanks Morgan it has been a delight and pleasure to watch you over the past 7 years. Remember when I first saw you play I said you would go a long way and one day captain France. First bit has come to reality. Bon Chance.
the saint in winchester Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 That's two players inc Davies of Spurs who slipped on Saturday on the over-watered pitch to suffer season ending injuries Yes. You beat me to the comment. Now can we stop watering the pitch at half time?! If its a choice between (A) seeing the ball moving quickly across the well watered turf but maybe losing a player to injury vs (B) seeing the ball move at average rate but keeping all players on the pitch ...... I know which i would choose.
ART Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 What do you expect from whenever he gets together with fbf Hugo Lloris. Peas in a pod and Lloris has been influencing Morgan since Morgan's first international call up.
stevy777_x Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 Have a feeling this not the last of Morgan in a Saints shirt.
SuperSAINT Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 Have a feeling this not the last of Morgan in a Saints shirt. What we need is Guan 2.0 to return from his forum exile during the summer to keep us informed.
Wade Garrett Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 He hasn't, really. He's basically said there's no intention to sell, but he said the same last year re: lovren/lallana/shaw etc No way, he was speaking to the fans as far as I'm concerned. He's not a politician trying to con the electorate, he's talking to the supporters of the football club. To me, it was clear what he was saying.
doddisalegend Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 Well look at this way we get to try out playing without Morgan and see how we do. We're going to have to get used to doing so any way lets just let Reed (rather than Toby as a DM) have a few games and see how he does.
Wrensup Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 No way, he was speaking to the fans as far as I'm concerned. He's not a politician trying to con the electorate, he's talking to the supporters of the football club. To me, it was clear what he was saying. You must be kidding... Forgot what was said summer already have you?

Saints foreva Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 Will wish him well if he goes to a Champions League club. **** him if he leaves us for Spurs though.
farawaysaint Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 No way, he was speaking to the fans as far as I'm concerned. He's not a politician trying to con the electorate, he's talking to the supporters of the football club. To me, it was clear what he was saying. He did not say "we will not sell" (which if I recall is what he said last summer which turned out great anyway), he said we have no intention of selling. That is the most politician like answer ever leaving loads of wiggle room. I expect us to lose at LEAST three first team players over the summer.
Whitey Grandad Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 Let's look on the bright side. It's not serious ligament damage and if it's only 4 or 5 weeks then he should be fit for pre-season or a European tour. Whether that's with us or somebody elase remains to be seen.
JoeShmoe Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 Has served us fantastically and if he wants to leave he deserves a top club. Quality player. This

It's not serious ligament damage and if it's only 4 or 5 weeks then he should be fit for pre-season or a European tour. Whether that's with us or somebody elase remains to be seen. I'd think he'd hope to be fit for the 2 French friendlies in June.
Whitey Grandad Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 I'd think he'd hope to be fit for the 2 French friendlies in June. Good point. 7th and 13th which may be a bit soon for him.
corky morris Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 He has been top top quality for a long time. I remember saying to VFTT when we were in Div 1 just how good a player he was/is! Hope its not the last time he plays for Saints!!! If he leaves, has to be at least £25m!!
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 Pretty gutted really. Along with Rickie has been my favourite Saints player these last few years. Have always maintained he is our best player. Whoever gets him will be better for his presence, I really don't think he'd be out of place in any squad. Seriously talented player, will leave an absolutely massive hole to fill. As said above though, he has been great for us and barring one little wobble (which in fairness to him he responded to fantastically) a real pro. He deserves to play at the top level and win things.
The9 Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 That's two players inc Davies of Spurs who slipped on Saturday on the over-watered pitch to suffer season ending injuries Or "out for 4 weeks" as it could be described at any other time of the season.
The9 Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 Bloody obvious his injury was ligament-related and at least serious enough to miss the last 4 matches so I'm not remotely surprised. Only blind faith would make me think he's going to play for Saints again - and if he was wavering at all, an injury is precisely the sort of thing that will focus the mind on maximising income while he can.
eddie Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 awful news. the only positive as far as I can see is that harry reed might get a game or maybe two. Really really hoping Ron doesn't stick Davis / JWP back there. Thought reed was lively and always wanted the ball against spurs
Ken Tone Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 Will wish him well if he goes to a Champions League club. **** him if he leaves us for Spurs though. This
SaintSteve Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 Not convinced a CL will bid...he could be here next year as Liverpool/Spurs are not really furthering his career, just lining his pocket.
The Cat Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 What we need is Guan 2.0 to return from his forum exile during the summer to keep us informed. If you type "Saintsweb" into google the 4th predictive search that pops up is "saintsweb guan". He's 2 places ahead of the Pompey Takeover Saga thread. If he never returns that's a fairly decent legacy to leave behind.
Window Cleaner Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 (edited) awful news. the only positive as far as I can see is that harry reed might get a game or maybe two. Really really hoping Ron doesn't stick Davis / JWP back there. Thought reed was lively and always wanted the ball against spurs I fully expect Toby and Victor to be in midfield on Saturday, Reed on the bench as per usual. This is what Koeman does every time one of our 2 CMs s out. Edited 30 April, 2015 by Window Cleaner
The Cat Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 Oh and yeah, gutted about Morgan. He's been our best and most consistent player over the past 6 seasons.
The9 Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 awful news. the only positive as far as I can see is that harry reed might get a game or maybe two. Really really hoping Ron doesn't stick Davis / JWP back there. Thought reed was lively and always wanted the ball against spurs Reed's nowhere near ready to play regularly in that position yet, as he showed by getting himself sent off in the U21 Cup Final. He's got a lot of energy and closes down well, but as well as some other similarities, his tackling is also Scholes-like, and he's got to learn when NOT to dive in. It seemed to work ok with Ward-Prowse and Davis slightly advanced of Wanyama second half when we played Burnley, I'd think that will be what we go with, the Yoshida/Alderweireld Experiment having not really worked. For a team that's got a strong first XI, we're not half having to play a lot of matches without our first team. It basically hasn't happened since Man U away, thanks to the various Wanyama/Schnederlin/Alderweireld injuries and suspensions. I think the closest is Chelsea away, when Pelle was dropped.
Window Cleaner Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 Equipe says that Koeman said three,four or five weeks. Is that right or are they making up as they go along again.

Best way to learn and improve would be by playing in the 1st team.
Matthew Le God Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 Morgan Schneiderlin @SchneiderlinMo4 21m21 minutes ago Sad about my injury .. I am not giving up on coming back before the end of the season ! Thanks to everyone for their support !
saint lard Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 So Toby in midfield again.......he's wasted in that position.....has he played their as much as centre half? Outstanding centre half,mediocre pushed forward....and constantly gets injured whilst in that position. Good luck Morgan......you've been a bloody revelation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
simo Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 I disagree about Reed not being ready yet , He was excellent against Everton! Yeh he got the red for the u21s but that was because he was trying to do too much he had a good game otherwise imo ! Saying that I still think Ron will stick with where Maya and Toby played Saturday for as long as we have something to play for
scotty Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 this sucks ballz Beat me to it, was about to post exactly that.
Greenridge Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 No way, he was speaking to the fans as far as I'm concerned. He's not a politician trying to con the electorate, he's talking to the supporters of the football club. To me, it was clear what he was saying. Les has been watching too much election build-up with his not-so-clever use of wording.
sadoldgit Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 How times change. I remember well the grief Lowe got over spending £1m on him. What a bargain Morgan turned out to be.
Wade Garrett Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 Look, if Les has said they're not going to be sold, which he has, then he is going to look a c*nt if they do go. Last season we were told that Morgan wouldn't be sold and he wasn't. As far as I'm concerned, he's said it again, so the club should be as good as their word.

You don't quite get it do you , he can't come out and say Yeh we're selling them both ! The price is always higher if the selling party doesn't want to sell

No he hasn't, he has said he has no intention of doing it. That's not to say he wont be forced to do so against his will if Morgan hands in a transfer request.
