Davis set to stay

Recommended Posts

Have been told that Davis is set to sign a new contract and stay at Saints.

 

He's been holding out for our takeover and now it has gone through he's looking to commit his future to us.

 

Should be confirmed by the end of the week. Fingers crossed.

Source?

 

From someone within the club, but obviously can't name them! They've given me information in the past that has turned out to be correct so no reason to doubt them on this occasion. I really hope it's true. Fingers crossed.

Friday or course! Haven't you learnt anything from this. Tuesday is take over day, Friday is new manager day! doh! ;-)

 

Sorry, my bad. I'd always assumed it 'twas other way around....knew I'd been doing something wrong this last 20 months!

Fingers crossed too then, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Not the best source I know - but the Sun is saying the same:

Happy days if true though. ;)

LOL!

 

I'm loving today!!!! 08/07/09 ... defining moment in SFC history, hopefully!!

 

Almost has a nice symmetry that date....if only we were American...

 

It'll happen next month on the 7th August

 

and at 12:34 and 56 on that date, if you write it down it will be

 

12:34:56 7/8/9

 

Now that is symmetrical!!

That's Kel of a snub!

 

KELVIN DAVIS has rejected a move to West Ham for regular football at Southampton.

The keeper, 32, trained with the Hammers this week and was offered a two-year deal to be understudy to England star Rob Green.

 

But Davis yesterday opted to stay at the relegated Saints and spearhead their bid to bounce back into the Championship.

 

He signed a new three-year deal after snubbing the Premiership offer.

 

Former England Under-21 star Davis, voted player of the season last campaign by teammates and fans, prefers League One action rather than sitting on the bench at West Ham

 

Legend status assured! Welcome 'back' Kelv!

The modern day MLT?

 

If true, then there is a similarity. Matty had a contract signed with his boyhood favourite club Spurs, which he pleaded to be released from because, when push came to shove, he found he could not leave Saints.

 

Kelvin Davis may be doing it for other reasons, but fair play to him. Plenty of ex-players have said what a gorgeous area it is to live in. The New Forest and the southern region, that is, not necessarily Southampton itself. ;)

 

Quite a turnaround for a goalkeeper once so vilified by Saints fans.

So Davis signing for us will almost definately signal an exit for one (maybe two) of our other keepers.

 

I can see Poke heading back to Torquay... cant see Forecast getting a new team... Maybe Bart can get a lower Championship team or mid table League 1 team?

IMHO greatest Saint since MLT.

 

Thanks Kelvin, Spirit of Southampton

Keep at least 2 - Bart + one of the others. Can't see KD being fit 100% of the time and Bart is a little injury prone.

 

Need some deep(ish) cover for the No1 shirt.
