Ulrich van Gobbel Posted 16 October, 2015 Posted 16 October, 2015 Get him on the banner!!! Beat me to it! Fantastic news!
farawaysaint Posted 16 October, 2015 Posted 16 October, 2015 Didn't we just give him one when we made him captain? :\
The9 Posted 16 October, 2015 Posted 16 October, 2015 Didn't we just give him one when we made him captain? :\ I'm hoping we start signing all our players to new deals which reflect the fact the new tv money kicks in soon, it'll probably be cheaper to do it now than when everyone else is getting pay hikes everywhere else.
david in sweden Posted 16 October, 2015 Posted 16 October, 2015 ...and well deserved, too. In common with Kelvin Davis, who stayed with the club after our relegation (s) and played a magnificent role in our Championship season....Jose might not even have become a Saint .....had Alan Pardew not persuaded him to drop a division (from Palace) and join us ....even when we were starting an L1 season with - 10 points. A lot of water under the Itchen Bridge since then, but Jose (and KD) are the last two who played their way through L1, Championship ...and back upto the Prem. His international call-up at age 31, showed that he continues to improve and was no less than he rightly deserved. Well done Jose ...Good decision Les / Ronald.
rallyboy Posted 16 October, 2015 Posted 16 October, 2015 That's odd, I heard that he was signing for Palace two months ago as part of our annual meltdown firesale. I guess the tabloids must have made that up.
Third Division South Days Posted 16 October, 2015 Posted 16 October, 2015 Van Dyke also signing 5 year deal sorts central defence out for 2 or 3more seasons
Convict Colony Posted 16 October, 2015 Posted 16 October, 2015 Jorge Mendes did his job then Exactly what I thought, hopefully he looks to steer some young protege's our way as goodwill.
Saint George Posted 16 October, 2015 Posted 16 October, 2015 Surprising but awesome news and good interview too.....Maybe the Board are finally starting to learn how to run a Soccer Club, hopefully the dawn of a new era.....long may it continue

ALWAYS_SFC Posted 16 October, 2015 Posted 16 October, 2015 Great news Great player Great captain Well deserved

I guess the tabloids must have made that up. I thought he was off to Villa in Jan. done deal my source reckoned. Well done Jose, total legend. And a big 2 fingers up to Lallana & Co who jumped ship for 'better things'
saint lard Posted 16 October, 2015 Posted 16 October, 2015 What a bargain from Palace. His goal at Brighton was immense.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
SaintLiam Posted 16 October, 2015 Posted 16 October, 2015 Didn't we just give him one when we made him captain? :\ Big pay rise.

Saint Charlie Posted 16 October, 2015 Posted 16 October, 2015 What a bargain from Palace. His goal at Brighton was immense.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk My favourite away day ever. Especially living in Brighton. Saints legend I think, especially if he sees out his career here. Not many players have improved as much as Jose.
igsey Posted 16 October, 2015 Posted 16 October, 2015 Bloody love the man, he's a natural captain too. Looking back on it, I can't see why on Earth Mr. Nivea was given the armband ahead of Jose.
DuncanRG Posted 16 October, 2015 Posted 16 October, 2015 Bloody love the man, he's a natural captain too. Looking back on it, I can't see why on Earth Mr. Nivea was given the armband ahead of Jose. Wasn't it because Adam had a better connection to the academy and could act as a role model?
hasper57saint Posted 16 October, 2015 Posted 16 October, 2015 Great news ahead of tomorrows game.Captain and leader.
davefizzy14 Posted 16 October, 2015 Posted 16 October, 2015 Great news this, top player & a great captain. Great interview with Jose.
austsaint Posted 16 October, 2015 Posted 16 October, 2015 Such a great connection back to the Liebherr involvement; the Pardew, Adkins, Poch and now RK days. The day at Wembley and the promotions back to the Prem. Well done Jose.
Redslo Posted 17 October, 2015 Posted 17 October, 2015 I thought he was off to Villa in Jan. done deal my source reckoned. Well done Jose, total legend. And a big 2 fingers up to Lallana & Co who jumped ship for 'better things' Maybe this was just so we can get a larger fee from Villa.
Spoonman Posted 17 October, 2015 Posted 17 October, 2015 Delighted with this. Jose's rise mirrors that of the club. Great stuff, now 3pts today please, sealed with an overdue Jose goal; )
farawaysaint Posted 17 October, 2015 Posted 17 October, 2015 In terms of all time best CBs for the club where do you think Jose fits in?
Toadhall Saint Posted 17 October, 2015 Posted 17 October, 2015 In terms of all time best CBs for the club where do you think Jose fits in? He'd be up there top 10 - mark wright, Dave Watson, killer - they'd be in there too - but I'll let others fill in the blanks
SaintRichmond Posted 17 October, 2015 Posted 17 October, 2015 Surprising but awesome news and good interview too.....Maybe the Board are finally starting to learn how to run a Soccer Club, hopefully the dawn of a new era.....long may it continue Yes, it is good news about Fonte, but, it's always easy to get a player to sign a new deal if the Player WANTS to sign a new deal. Plus the fact that he would not have set the transfer market alight in January Realistically, I'll be impressed IF Wanyama and Mane sign NEW Long Term deals But, I'm not holding my breath on either of those, but I will be interested in how much Spuds and Manure shell out for them
CB Fry Posted 17 October, 2015 Posted 17 October, 2015 Yes, it is good news about Fonte, but, it's always easy to get a player to sign a new deal if the Player WANTS to sign a new deal. Plus the fact that he would not have set the transfer market alight in January Heaven forbid ol' Swivel-eyes would ever credit the club with creating a situation where Jose is happy to stay. You'd be the first b itch whining if he was linked with a move away in January.
adrian lord Posted 17 October, 2015 Posted 17 October, 2015 The much-overused term "legend" is appropriate here.
Portugalsaint Posted 17 October, 2015 Posted 17 October, 2015 He is a credit to Southampton and to his country. Just thought his interview along with Cedric and his comments regarding being a traditionalist and returning to The Algarve for his holidays were humbling. Also, his first car being a Fiat Uno, his feet are still firmly on terra firma. Good luck to him and his family.
david in sweden Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 In terms of all time best CBs for the club where do you think Jose fits in? Er ...how far back do you want to go? ..and how can you compare them?
VectisSaint Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Also, his first car being a Fiat Uno, his feet are still firmly on terra firma. I would put that down to rust in the foot well. Had the same problem with my first car, a Morris Oxford.
