4 and a half years. That is fantastic news!!!!! Morgan will be one of the best midfielders in the PL in 2-3 years time IMO.
And he's ours. Cortese wasn't lying when he said when we get to the Premier League he will be keeping, not selling, our stars.
Morgan Schneiderlin: “I am a very happy man. "To commit my future to Southampton is a big thing because this club has big ambitions – and I have big ambitions as well. “I wouldn’t have signed this contract if the Club didn’t have a big project. When I spoke to the Chairman and the Manager, I knew they wanted to do something very good at this club and I want to be a part of that. "My main focus now is to do a great job on the pitch so we achieve all of the ambitions that we have.”
Mauricio Pochettino: “I am delighted that the Club has been able to extend Morgan’s contract. “During my short time with Southampton, Morgan has shown what a capable player he is and has demonstrated his potential to become one of the Premier League’s most complete midfielders. “His work rate and determination make him an integral part of how we play, and so I am pleased he has been rewarded with a new long-term deal. “Morgan has played a major part in the journey this Club has been on over the past four years, and I am sure he will continue to develop as a player as we move towards our long-term ambitions.”

Fan bloody tastic. Was starting to worry he'd be off in summer as he's bound to have a load of potential big name suitors. At least we'll get significantly more for him now if he does decide to scram.
Happy Birthday, DTLW. Good news. A good player is being kept at the club and has demonstrated how much he believes in Saints.
