Wiggles31 Posted 10 July, 2016 Posted 10 July, 2016 Please mods. Loyal Saints legend and a euro winning defender who would walk into any defence in the BPL. Saints legend.
TwoPints Posted 10 July, 2016 Posted 10 July, 2016 Please mods. Loyal Saints legend and a euro winning defender who would walk into any defence in the BPL. Saints legend. You beat me to it. I was going to suggest the same thing. Easily a Saints Legend. Sent from my SM-T810 using Tapatalk
Pilchards Posted 10 July, 2016 Posted 10 July, 2016 Move that guy out with the large moustache and add Fonte to the right of Rickoe.
Colinjb Posted 10 July, 2016 Posted 10 July, 2016 In modern browsers, there is room for Fonte alongside the existing chaps. José, I salute you.
davefizzy14 Posted 10 July, 2016 Posted 10 July, 2016 Jose needs to be added to the banner, a Saints legend and a Euros Champion too now
Pamplemousse Posted 10 July, 2016 Posted 10 July, 2016 It has to be done. What he has achieved since joining us has been nothing sort of sensational.
Golac's Iron Gonads Posted 10 July, 2016 Posted 10 July, 2016 Long overdue. Not Shane Long, I mean Fonte's banner presence.
Ampersound Posted 10 July, 2016 Posted 10 July, 2016 Definitely make it happen please! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
USA SaintsFan Posted 10 July, 2016 Posted 10 July, 2016 Totally agree, complete legend! Should we have a poll, or would it be unanimous?
Nordic Saint Posted 10 July, 2016 Posted 10 July, 2016 + another 1. There's plenty of space to Rickie's right.
Jimmy_D Posted 10 July, 2016 Posted 10 July, 2016 Gets my vote as well, but 'tis up to Steve and Baj, not us cat herders.
whelk Posted 10 July, 2016 Posted 10 July, 2016 Sweet all you old sods attach so much to a banner. Can't see it but hey mobile technology
Ajv2809 Posted 10 July, 2016 Posted 10 July, 2016 It's surely time for a new banner anyway. We've had this one for ages now and it looks dated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Saint in Paradise Posted 11 July, 2016 Posted 11 July, 2016 + another 1. There's plenty of space to Rickie's right. Err Matt Le Tissier is on Rickie's right ( thought I would say that before a real pedantic sod did ) Anyway back to the point, like Disco Stu says IF he retires when with Saints then yes put him on the banner. However I seem to remember a campaign to get a certain ex manager up there and that didn't happen so I won't be holding my breath.
Ultimatt Posted 11 July, 2016 Posted 11 July, 2016 Wait until he retires, heaven forbid he has a fallout and joins Liverpool.
Dellman Posted 11 July, 2016 Posted 11 July, 2016 If someone has to go off the banner it should be Keegan who was only here 5 minutes
southamptonfc Posted 11 July, 2016 Posted 11 July, 2016 If someone has to go off the banner it should be Keegan who was only here 5 minutes +1 Keegan out, Fonte in!
PaulSaint Posted 11 July, 2016 Posted 11 July, 2016 +1 Keegan out, Fonte in! Agreed, KK jumped in that Geordie Helicopter too quick. Fonte deserves to be up there!
Cabrone Posted 11 July, 2016 Posted 11 July, 2016 Cost us £1M (could be argued that it's one of the best millions we've ever spent), dropped a division to join us, consistently superb (arguably making his partners look better than they may have been?), loyal, enjoys the club, first ever Saints player to win the European championship(?) and had a dust up with crazy DaniO . I'm not one for bandwagons but come on - surely Jose deserves this accolade? Surely Ron Davies deserves a place. +1. Certainly deserves it a lot more than Keegan (nothing personal, just that special K didn't hang around too long) PS: All dependent on Jose not going to 'Pool of course.
georgeweahscousin Posted 11 July, 2016 Posted 11 July, 2016 Had a bicker with someone on twitter who doesn't think Fonte is worthy of 'legend' status. For me he definitely does. Been part of our rise from the bottom back to where we belong and even higher. Vital goal at Brighton, JPT, consistent defender, captain, took an Osvaldo headbutt and now a European champion. He's as eligible as Rickie in my opinion. Put him on the banner!
mrfahaji Posted 11 July, 2016 Posted 11 July, 2016 If Jose returns from the Euros and announces he wants to join Everton, or Liverpool, or Spurs, would he still warrant a place on the legends banner? If so, put him up there. If not, wait until he has moved on or retired.

supersonic Posted 11 July, 2016 Posted 11 July, 2016 I agree. And Cedric too. Cedric? I mean really? I'm pleased for him, but this is for Saints Legends, he clearly isn't a legend.
angelman Posted 11 July, 2016 Posted 11 July, 2016 In this day and age, testimonials seem to be ever more rare. Without wanting to demean Kelvin's time/achievement with us, I would not begrudge José one, even if he hasn't been here 10 years.
cellone Posted 11 July, 2016 Posted 11 July, 2016 Wait until he retires, heaven forbid he has a fallout and joins Liverpool. ??? Lambert didn't even represent Saints at the World Cup before he did one to LFC and he's up there.
Fan The Flames Posted 11 July, 2016 Posted 11 July, 2016 There were plenty of people that wouldn't have minded him leaving after that season with Lovren and getting someone else in to partner Lovren. Little did people realise that he was the strength in that parnership.

Little did people realise that he was the strength in that parnership. I had my doubts about Fonte in the Championship, never mind the Premier League. Even though that seems wide of the mark given what he has achieved, by the same margin I think he has improved immeasurely since our promotion, as both an individual player and a leader. Of course, no-one on a national level would pick up on it, but we all know that it's no coincidence that Pepe has looked like a Real Madrid rather than Real Salt Lake player since Fonte has lined up alongside him.
DuncanRG Posted 12 July, 2016 Posted 12 July, 2016 Wait until he leaves/retires and decide with a cool head. No one wants banner regret!
Coldridge Posted 12 July, 2016 Posted 12 July, 2016 Wait until he leaves/retires and decide with a cool head. No one wants banner regret! Agreed. Pretty sure Lallana would have been up there had every bannerwhim been satisfied.
hypochondriac Posted 12 July, 2016 Posted 12 July, 2016 Wait until he leaves/retires and decide with a cool head. No one wants banner regret! Yep. If he mugged us off and left this summer I doubt everyone would be so keen!
Lighthouse Posted 12 July, 2016 Posted 12 July, 2016 I'd have Fonte instead of Lambert and Pahars instead of Keegan personally. Whilst we're at it, who is that between Miller and Paine?
