Jones backs keeper Davis to be a Premier star

KELVIN Davis is good enough to play in the Premier League again, according to ex-Saints keeper Paul Jones.
Club captain Davis is hoping to lead Southampton back into the top-flight next season by securing promotion from the Championship.
Going in to this afternoon’s clash with Watford, Saints had 14 games left to achieve that goal.
If they get there, Jones believes there will need to be plenty of strengthening to the squad.
But he is confident that, with Davis in situ, goalkeeper is not an area that will need significant improvement.

KD has definitely improved under Adkins but first choice in the prem ?? I don't think so
Not the way to go if you ask me...

Opinion is divided on KD. For me, he is at least as good as half of the current prem keepers. Whatever anyone's view may be on him...he is as good a servant to this Club as we have ever had. He's stuck with us during the lean times...so I'd love for him to lead us out in the PL next season!
Top guy, top keeper - keep going Kelv!
