Bailey Posted 8 July, 2009 Share Posted 8 July, 2009 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.

CityRanger Posted 8 July, 2009 Share Posted 8 July, 2009 Quality! Hopefully the idea of playing every week rather than possibly being a no.2 at the 'Ammers has swung it. Hope he has as good a season as last year. Large piece in the jigsaw of a promotion bid filled! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trousers Posted 8 July, 2009 Share Posted 8 July, 2009 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!

St Landrew Posted 9 July, 2009 Share Posted 9 July, 2009 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.

Spades Posted 9 July, 2009 Share Posted 9 July, 2009 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?

NickG Posted 9 July, 2009 Share Posted 9 July, 2009 great player for us great guy great with young fans offered to deferr his pay straight away last season turned down permiership for 3rd tier with us IMHO greatest Saint since MLT.
