Adam Federici to Southampton?

A lot of talk that with Fraser Forster out injured for up to a year, Southampton are looking at Adam Federici as a replacement #1. Federici is off-contract at the end of this season.

Would certainly be a big move if he could become an established first choice 'keeper (for one season at least) with a mid-high table EPL club. That being said, it doesn't seem like anything is too advanced just yet. Would be interesting to see him leave Reading after 10 years but with Reading low in the Championship and Federici still with plenty of years to play at 30, maybe now's the time to move on.

Been in and out of a Championship team for the past couple of years. Didn't do all that well in the EPL when he had the chance. How could he walk into the number one gig at a top half EPL club? They've got enough money to buy someone decent as a replacement too.


The problem is that we've loaned out Boruc until the end of the season, so we've effectively lost our 1 and 2. I know most Soton supporters like Davis (as a club person) but don't rate him highly. If Fed went to Southampton he would be behind Foster when he returns and Boruc.
