Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 28 April, 2009 Posted 28 April, 2009 Club survival permitting, obviously! http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/4324509.Kelvin__I_hope_I_can_stay/ Would be a tremendous boost if he did stay, given his form this season.
Legod Third Coming Posted 28 April, 2009 Posted 28 April, 2009 I can't believe it will happen but it would be a massive fillip to the club and all the fans if he did. He has been sensational this year and is the one bloke in the team whose desire and commitment cannot be faulted.
Saint Martini Posted 28 April, 2009 Posted 28 April, 2009 I'm not too surprised, he's probably afraid of ending up in a hell-hole like Sunderland again.
sambosa75 Posted 28 April, 2009 Posted 28 April, 2009 I think he will stay. He loves the area and doesnt want to leave. Hopefully there will be news breaking soon about the future of the club which means his future will be resolved also.
Saint Bones Posted 28 April, 2009 Posted 28 April, 2009 SAINTS Fans everywhere have revealed they would also like Kelvin to stay at the club next season. Well - I guess we are all getting ahead of ourselves - but it's hard to find goood news at the moment.
Bailey Posted 28 April, 2009 Posted 28 April, 2009 Would be a massive boost if Kelvin stayed, but I won't hold my breath. He's been first-class all season and it would be brilliant if he remained with us in League One.
The Incongruous Monk Posted 28 April, 2009 Posted 28 April, 2009 This would be great, especially seeing as I was under the impression he already had one foot at Leicester.

Hopefully there will be news breaking soon about the future of the club which means his future will be resolved also. I heard part of the reason is that his children are settled in the schools they go to, and he would not want to uproot them unless he really has to, when you get to the twilight of your career, and have made a fair bit of money as professional footballers have, enjoying life is more important than dragging you family from pillar to post.

The Incongruous Monk Posted 28 April, 2009 Posted 28 April, 2009 Source? I don't have one. Just a rumour that's been floating around a few mates.
CB Fry Posted 28 April, 2009 Posted 28 April, 2009 I heard part of the reason is that his children are settled in the schools they go to, and he would not want to uproot them unless he really has to, when you get to the twilight of your career, and have made a fair bit of money as professional footballers have, enjoying life is more important than dragging you family from pillar to post. That really can be the only reason he is saying he wants to stay - its hard to believe he has enjoyed playing for us this season as being a keeper single handedly keeping a poor team in a match for us only to lose anyway cannot be a satisfactory way to earn a living. Fair play if he does stay, but lets not be surprised if he doesn't, because who can blame him? He really hasn't much reason to be loyal to us because with the managers we've gone through and the turmoil the club has put him through he is well within his rights to say "look, I've more than done my bit, I might see how I get on somewhere else".
Mr Nice Posted 28 April, 2009 Posted 28 April, 2009 One good season out of a four year contract is nothing special. Given the chance i would replace him
Andy_Porter Posted 28 April, 2009 Posted 28 April, 2009 Find it hard to get excited about any of the current crop staying tbh. Can't wait for this season to come to and end.
Saintjersey Posted 28 April, 2009 Posted 28 April, 2009 Find it hard to get excited about any of the current crop staying tbh. Can't wait for this season to come to and end. Basically what was said last season
Chez Posted 28 April, 2009 Posted 28 April, 2009 Find it hard to get excited about any of the current crop staying tbh. Can't wait for this season to come to and end. as crap as they have been, don't forget that there are worse players out there so we need to keep a few in case our wonderful scouting system continues to uncover more gems like Holmes, Pulis and Gasmi.
NickG Posted 28 April, 2009 Posted 28 April, 2009 One good season out of a four year contract is nothing special. Given the chance i would replace him top three keepers in the division and not just this season
JustMike Posted 28 April, 2009 Posted 28 April, 2009 as crap as they have been, don't forget that there are worse players out there so we need to keep a few in case our wonderful scouting system continues to uncover more gems like Holmes, Pulis and Gasmi. Nothing wrong with Holmes, just unlucky to get 2 bad injuries

I dont know about you but I would happily do it!

He really hasn't much reason to be loyal to us because with the managers we've gone through and the turmoil the club has put him through he is well within his rights to say "look, I've more than done my bit, I might see how I get on somewhere else". You're right in what you say. It would be a big boost if he did decide to stay, as he has certainly proved to be better than most keepers at this level and arguably some might consider that he has been Premiership standard. Looking back on his stay at Sunderland, he had a poor defence in front of him and his confidence took a knock. With us, expectations have not been as high and his confidence has taken a big boost because everybody realises that without him we would have been down weeks ago. If he did stay, then he could become a bit of a local legend, as I'm sure that there would be other clubs prepared to make attractive offers for him and nobody could really feel aggrieved if he went, as you say.
Legod Third Coming Posted 28 April, 2009 Posted 28 April, 2009 Find it hard to get excited about any of the current crop staying tbh. Can't wait for this season to come to and end. I disagree. Look at the players who were at Leicester and got them relegated, and the difference this season - admittedly with some new additions. We have good players - Gillet, Holmes, Davis, Perry, Saejis, Surman, James... They have been DIABOLICALLY mismanaged. They have also had concerns from day 1 of the season about: The ineptitude of the board Their wages (the financial position) The coaching The manager... Anyone who has studied motivation even fleetingly (Maslow's heirarchy of needs, for example) knows that you need factors in place to do a good job - the knowledge that you will get paid, the ability to have your talent recognised, belief in the direction of the organisation and so on. A lot of our players would look completely different under some decent leadership on and off the pitch!!!! If they are capable of it against Burnley - they are capable full stop. Beyond that it's about MANAGEMENT - a drum I make no apology for banging for years...

I don't know if Nigel Pearson was familiar with Maslow's pyramid, but he seemed to have all of the motivational skills that were needed for the team to be successful. The very same skills that endeared him to the fans as well. Lowe could not or would not see this. His biggest ever mistake!

Deano6 Posted 1 May, 2009 Posted 1 May, 2009 OS says Kelving "made a clean sweep of the Player of the Season awards". A team full of schoolboys and a 32 year old wins Young Player Of The Year! Only at Southampton
Saint_clark Posted 1 May, 2009 Posted 1 May, 2009 agree, what is he 21? could do well for us He needs to stay fit for most of next season though, otherwise we should get rid. We don't have time for anymore "when he gets back to fitness we'll be better" players.
SFC Forever Posted 1 May, 2009 Posted 1 May, 2009 All we need is a buyer. Then someone to recognise that we need him. Then that someone(hopefully a bloody good manager) to say sign here. Kelvin is not dumb and knows we are now only a div 1 team so won't ask for silly wages.
