AllSorts Posted 5 December, 2016 Share Posted 5 December, 2016 Sam and the club are in the 14th year of a relationship. Surely that counts for something. Football is not all about contracts. Sam has given a large part of his life to the Saints and he was close to giving up on his dream. He has been dealt a wonderful hand last minute and is very grateful. Thanks for those that are happy for him. For those that can't seem to wait to be sarcastic or cynical I hope your life demonstrates the loyalty and determination you seem to demand of others. Go out and do something good. You'll feel better for it. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spyinthesky Posted 5 December, 2016 Share Posted 5 December, 2016 I am really please for Sam especially as he went to the same school as my sons. Have never been that impressed with him before this season - rated him an OK player (shows what I know) - and thought he would probably find his level in the lower leagues after his, not outstanding, spell with Southend last season. However he has fitted in extremely well at an unfamiliar position. Effectively we have three left backs so it will be interesting what position the club see Sam developing into. Also development of the clubs senior 'juniors' such as Sims, Hesketh, Gape, Gallagher, Mc Carthy, Isgrove, Lewis , Seagar (when fit) will also be interesting.

The Cat Posted 5 December, 2016 Share Posted 5 December, 2016 Excellent news. Well done to the lad for kicking on and putting in some brilliant performances. It can't have been easy being thrown in to the team in a different position to the one he spent most of his youth career in but he has adapted superbly and taken his chance.

nta786 Posted 5 December, 2016 Share Posted 5 December, 2016 Hopefully SIMS is next. yeah, but is that the goal now? One good game and you get rewarded with professional contract. It goes back to what Sol Campbell once said about how nowadays people get into England team after 3 good games, but around then you had to show consistent form for about 15 months to get a sniff of a cap. Then I think he spoke about racism or something. By all means let him replicate his talent further, think the bar for a new contract should be set higher than one good game.

SNSUN Posted 5 December, 2016 Share Posted 5 December, 2016 Pleased with this, Sam looks strong, mature and confident, and the best bit about him is he can play anywhere on the left. With Targett and Bertrand, we have an exceptional trio of left back choices, to the point that even if one of them leave in the summer, it doesn't weaken us substantially.

Gemmel Posted 5 December, 2016 Share Posted 5 December, 2016 Delighted for Sam and his family.... But also delighted for Saints. Great signing.

Sometimes in life, things taste so much sweeter when they are unexpected or when you think they are never going to happen. Full credit to everyone and looking forward to seeing Sam continue his progress at a club where he will be well looked after. He must be pinching himself to gave made his full debut at the San Siro!

AllSorts Posted 6 December, 2016 Share Posted 6 December, 2016 Cheers guys. I will pass on your congrats. His mum and me are still pinching ourselves as everything has happened so fast. We always believed he had the abilility and everyone at the academy always said so. We just weren't sure how he would respond mentally to the challenge. He has surprised us with his composure and authority on the pitch even in front of 50,000+ mostly opposing fans such as in the Ethiad and Emirates. Believe me the academy staff from kit guys, kitchen staff, media trainers, coaches, physics (especially the physios) are so positive and eager for the lads coming through to do well. It's not a lie when they talk of the family atmosphere among the local staff. The years with Ronald just lost something of that. It's a tough business I'm sure but caring for people goes a long way in any business. Dog eat dog may succeed but I wouldn't want to work in that sort of atmosphere. Southampton FC has something special about it for now. Thanks again for the compliments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or better still just fck off I was not getting stick, have you even read the thread or you are just trolling surely, and stating fact is being a pathetic plank? . He signed a new contract so he is going to be here for 4 and a half more years? like you think that is likely to happen right? you know, just like every one else on this forum knows that a contract in football is just a way for him to not go play for a different club and so the club can sell them in the future eg before 3 years so he has some value?, why would i be happy about that?. Why is some one of no concern to me ( apart from playing for the Club i support ! ) signing a contract good news? am i happy for the lad? of course!!!!, does it mean he will be here for 4 and a half years? no it does not, so what do i have to be happy about? does the club have an agreement in place that stops him ever being sold? nope, its just there so he cant just randomly pack his bags and go play for Liverpool, i support the club not the players, i already expect the club to sell him for millons so they can invest it back into the club, i would call that being realistic, not pathetic like you seem to think, while he wears a saints top i will support him, but my support is for the club not him, just like any player that puts on the jersey will get my support but, that support is only for them while they are at Saints. so why dont you take your horrid words ( you know ppl only swear cause they are to slow thinking and have an iq close to homer Simpson. ) and put them up your backside. Any way, My comment is as histroy proves, 100 % correct, if you dont like it, dont read it, but one day you will need to face up to reality, go play football manager, cause obviously realism is not for u Sir.

Good night. Homer's damn clever, you know? I believe SMcQ (who, I admit I thought too 'pondersome' and one-footed, having watched him a lot for the U21s and so on and so unlikely to make it at this level) is actually a proper Saints fan so he might be a bit harder to shift than most. I do also like his interviews: he doesn't speak like a PR plant and he is reasonably eloquent. I am also happy to say having seen him play in the flesh now that for the most part he's doing well. I'd still like to see him take people on a bit more. It does beg the question how would many of the others fare given that a lot of them seem to actually take to playing at 1st team level very well and better than seems to be the case when playing for the U23s. Maybe it's because the game's so much faster so they don't have to think about it so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
