    He's gone to Rangers on a six-month loan until June 30, which is the date when his contract with Southampton will expire.

    Thanks for everything, Davo.

    A great player for Saints, adored by some, average for others - but always gave it his all and a top pro. There was a period when Saints couldn’t do anything without him on the pitch.

    Yes, vastly underrated in his early days at the club but was actually a mainstay. Great pro and servant to the club and best wishes to him for his future.

    Thanks Stevo. Great player and captain, very underrated and made the link between midfield and attack flow.

    6 and a half years, Wow! Davis was a fantastic player for us; we were at our best together. Also seems like a top pro, nice and down to earth guy. Wish him all the best at Rangers and whatever comes next for him.
    He’ll always be a Saint :angel:<ale><applause>

    I'll be honest, I'm not a big fan of Davis and I'm not particularly sad to see him go. He was vital when we were first in the PL though and he always gave 100%. Good luck for the future Steven.

    Great servant to the club and wish nothing but the best for him.
    Was a key part to some of our best years and will be remembered for that.

    At his best he made the team tick over and was very important for us under Poch and Koeman particularly. He is never flashy, but is a model pro and a player's player and I've heard several complimentary comments from people that he played with here.

    Cheers and good luck in Scotland Davo.

    Just found this while checking out some Rangers forums.



    Look who the goalie is.

    For me, Davo is at Legend status. Quality player who was so important to us and often hugely underrated. Always handles himself in the right manner, never seeming to kick off or get petulant when things didn’t go his way. Top man. Top pro.

    I wish him all the best.

    On to the next chapter. I think he'll do really well there, just the sort of character they need.
    Thank you SD.

    Spot on, FLT. Just after we'd signed him I happened to be with a guy who knows Danny Murphy well when we bumped into young Daniel one afternoon. When Danny heard I was a Saints fan he said we'd just signed a great player in Steven Davis. As a hard-working and under-rated midfielder himself, Danny knew the beast we'd just bought. SD has certainly been a great servant. Yes, FLT, I'd join you in that "Legend" label.
