    Nice gesture.

    Maybe more will follow suit with his gesture? I wouldn't be shocked if Oriol did.

    *awaits naysayers bemoaning the fact he is only giving 1%*

    Maya Yoshida:

    I've been here seven years now and I have got a lot from the club and the city of Southampton, so I think it's time for me to give something back to them.

    This season, I am going to put one per cent of my salary to Saints Foundation.

    I decided to make this donation because I like to see the Saints Foundation helping the local people in a positive way. The best way to do that together, is with the Saints Foundation.

    Great gesture.

    It is a lot of money too. If Maya is on £40k a week, that is just over £2m a year, so about £20,000

    Doesn't sound a lot in football terms, but in real world (what we and the Saints Foundation live in!), that is a huge sum of money

    What a lovely man. My Maya man love I don't think can get much higher.

    Maya Yoshida being Maya Yoshida. Top bloke as always.

    We should start him every game. I don't care if we start shipping a dozen goals a match, i just don't want him to leave <wah>.

    Lovely stuff. Hopefully Ralph now sees what a nice guy he is, and starts putting him back in the starting line up :bandit:

    Love Maya, if all pro footballers made a similar gesture throughout the World then it would probably end World poverty.

    He's a gentleman that knows that it is important to give a little back.

    Anyone still in any doubt about what a top bloke Maya Yoshida is should read his autobiography, “Unbeatable Mind”. It really is a good read.
