    My apologies if this appears elsewhere. Obviously a long way to go, but sounds as if we may not have to see him in the shirt of another Premier League team next season - assuming this can be believed (oh cynic)

    As I said in the transfer thread. He is saying the right words at least.

    I'm not getting too excited. I hope he stays, but he is worth way more than 6.5m to Atletico. They may need to play him or they may decide to get 15m for him. Fingers crossed.

    Big statement from him, and an encouraging one.

    The pre-agreed price is way too low for a player of his ability, so it looks like it could be a case of another club outbidding us on fee and wages, even though Toby would be more than happy to sign up with Saints.

    Nowadays, I put very little stock in what players actually stay. Lovren and Lord Twatbeard taught me that.

    The most positive thing I have heard from him as he has been quite circumspect. He has to be respectful to Atletico Madrid if they want him back, but, whatever he says, his wishes will have to be considered if Atletico want to move him on. It's called negotiations.

    Of course (and I assume the stay instead of say was a Freudian slip!). However, you have to ask what Toby stands to gain from this statement. He is already worshipped by the SMS faithful, who are aware that his destiny is unlikely to be in his own hands. He could just stay silent and sign for Arsenal at the end of the season for a price and wage deal we could never match. We'd all be pissed off, but not with him in particular. Lovren and Lallana were different cases. The next bugger I see kissing the badge is dead meat!

    I don't see this coming out of nowhere. He may well sign for someone else but that will be down to ridiculous wage offers or other clubs outbidding.

    Good early signs but a number of hurdles to get over before we can start the "Saint Toby" thread sadly
    But very encouraging because he is one hell of a player

    Jose Fonte is a gem. In fact, he's probably the gem of the past 5 years. Every single term he has got better and been good enough to more than keep his place. Being Captain says it all.

    That's because it was unexpected

    He enjoys playing for Southampton , loves the club and the supporters.

    I don't know whether to cry or come.
