Via the wonders of personal posting on this board, I have contacted a "well known poster" and discussed posting this thread. I've supported Saints since 1958, so you can tell I'm getting on a bit, and I have never written to anyone I didn't know. It always struck me as a bit daft, but in the last few weeks I have been tempted to write to Morgan. Had I done so, I would have written this (I am sure that you techie geniuses will be able to translate even my awful French!)

Salut Morgan,

On espere que tout va bien chez vous. Je vous écris parce que vous serez clairement pas être un joueur de Southampton quand la saison commence à nouveau . Donc, un message pour vous souhaiter bonne chance, mais le plus important de reconnaître votre contribution à la reprise de notre club.

Votre décision de rester après que le club est entré dans l'administration devrait vous assurer d' une place dans le cœur de tous les fans . Je suis sûr que je ne suis pas le seul à être très fiers de la première fois que vous avez joué pour la France. Il a démontré à quel point vous étiez venu en tant que joueur , mais aussi à quel point le club était venu avec vous .

Je l'ai toujours apprécié votre honnêteté. Donc, je vais trop être honnête. Je vous souhaite bonne chance, Morgan, mais rappelez-vous ce message. Vous êtes né en France, et j'espere que vous pouvez devenir une etoile du monde avec un autre club, mais vous aurez toujours être considéré comme "Made in Southampton".

Bon courage, Morgan, et merci.

Do you reckon he might read it?! (Advice on any deletions and addition both appreciated!)

formidable!

I like the 'Made in Sourhampton' tag. Morgan will certainly go with my blessings, even if I hope it's Arsenal rather than United!! He's class, pure and simple.

I just wonder how good he and Steve Williams would have been as a midfield pairing?

Hi Morgan,

It is hoped that all is well with you. I am writing because you will clearly not be a Southampton player when the season starts again. So a message to wish you good luck, but more important to recognize your contribution to the recovery of our club.

Your decision to stay after the club entered administration should make sure of a place in the heart of all fans. I'm sure I'm not the only one to be very proud of the first time you played for France. He demonstrated how you came as a player, but also how the club had come with you.

I have always appreciated your honesty. So, I'll be honest too. I wish you luck, Morgan, but remember this message. You were born in France, and I hope that you can become a star of the world with another club, but you will still be considered "Made in Southampton"

.Good luck, Morgan, and thank you.

See the old Google Translate struggled with some of the section where I say his selection fror France demostrates his progess and ours with him. Probably my crap French!

Thanks for all the positives. Not living in the area, I wasn't too sure whether my feelings were widely shared. My Man Utd neighbour came out as I was getting into my car this morning, and wanted to know how good Morgan is. How do you answer that?

Morgan was great FOR SAINTS. He does a fantastic job for us but i honestly dont know if he can be anywhere near as effective in a new team. As much as i hated it, i was sure twatbeard was gonna be fantastic at Scousehampton this year (thankfully i was wrong) so I'm no longer willing to bet on any of our players doing well somewhere else. He's got the talent but can he step up/fit in? Impossible to tell.
