Goalkeeper Bart wants to stay a Saint
6:00am Friday 25th June 2010 in Saints News
Bartosz Bialkowski
BARTOSZ Bialkowski is confident of signing a new deal at Saints within the next few weeks.
The Polish keeper’s current contract at St Mary’s expires this summer.
Saints have offered the 22-year-old a new deal, but he has yet to agree it.
Bialkowski is currently in his native Poland but is returning next week for the start of pre-season.
The Daily Echo understands that there has been interest in him from the German Bundesliga.
But Bialkowski is in no doubt that he wants to remain a Saint.
He is hoping everything will be agreed when he returns.
“I will be back at Southampton for the start of the season and I am hoping to stay with them,” he said.
“They have offered me a contract and I will be coming back to England to hopefully sign and stay.
Full story is only in today's Daily Echo

He is a great keeper and I hope he gets some chances this year.
He is going to be a top quality keeper in years to come.

I'm afraid as ever with the Echo this is rubbish. He has signed for Polish club S.C. Braga on a free......... http://www.record.xl

If the story is wrong, then the player himself must be wrong as well.

No doubt people would say not an ex skate etc or about his (alleged) sexuality?
I'm talking about getting an available ex-international who's available for nothing?
I think we should bid for him.

He has quoted that he is happy with the Saints deal. Also another weak snipe at the Echo from a bit reader.
Great scoop Echo

Haven't heard a rumour, just a thought, would anyone like to see Sol Campbell at St. Mary's? He's available, exceptionally experienced and would firm up our defence.

We apparently have a new cordon bleu caterer so he's not wanted in the kitchen either. Looking forward to pie reviews and pics :p

Southampton announcements on Monday:
Greg Halford – Wolves – signed undisclosed
Neil Danns – palace – signed 1.2m
Lee Holmes – Southend 100k
Think the holmes rumour is most likely garbage since southend cant afford to pay thier own staff. I would be pleased with Halford and Danns though - could def do a turn in league 1.

I'd trust him more than Elgy though, who communicates from somewhere near Backside.

SC Braga prepares to renew the pool of goalkeepers. Eduardo is the target of intense harassment from abroad and Quim (ex-Benfica) is already ensured their place. Kieszek expressed its willingness to embrace a new challenge and must be replaced by a fellow countryman: Bartosz Bialkowski, who was at Southampton.
This fact opened the way for talks between FC Porto and SC Braga, with the dragons to express interest in having a shot at goalkeeper League (Kieszek made excellent views in V. Setúbal in 2008/09), serving as an alternative to Helton and Bob.
Thats a google translation, pick the bones out if it, coz its a bit grammatically incorrect, but basically its only a rumour and if Bart's stated he wants to stay and fight for his place, i'm more inclined to believe him.
But he definitely hasn't signed for anyone else yet, how old is Davis? He might want to move on for a final payday before he calls it a day, most goalkeepers tend to do that these days.

I wonder when we hit the 1st July whether we will suddenly start unveiling players. I know the world cup is on (which is like watching saints from the past) but I hate this summer of waiting!! Loving the weather, but want to hear about players being linked!!! :0)

The rumour site has been carrying those silly Rickie to transfer stories again...laugh so I could help having a go.. as I think the lad that runs it is a Palace fan. The next thing was their silly diatribe again NZ players..
According to transfer rumours website
Southampton announcements on Monday:
Greg Halford – Wolves – signed undisclosed
Neil Danns – palace – signed 1.2m
Lee Holmes – Southend 100k

If anyone has any honest rumours for goodness sake email them to Dan Kerrins or pop them in here.

If he does go, we have a very good Southampton born keeper living in the city who is also a fan and is just coming out of contract with Crystal Palace Darryl Flahavan. He was outstanding when on loan at Oldham against at as St Mary’s he was also league one player of the year 3 years ago and has good Championship and League one experience when he was at Southend, we could get he on a free and he would do a great job for us.
