Baird admits to future doubts

Southampton defender Chris Baird's future remains uncertain.

Chris Baird's future remains uncertain after the Southampton defender admitted he must do what is best for his career.

Fulham had a £1million offer for Baird rejected last month and the Northern Ireland international handed in a transfer request soon after.

Baird is keen to make the step up to the Premier League having stated his desire to complete a switch to Lawrie Sanchez's side.

The Saints stopper admits he is very much in limbo over where his future lies and would prefer a resolution sooner rather than later.

"I am 25 and I don't think I'll get a better chance," Baird told the Southern Daily Echo.

"I can understand Saints' position and what the fans are saying but I have to do what is best for me.

"The move could happen today, tomorrow, next week - or it might not happen at all and I could stay here.

"If things don't materialise, I am happy here and I will always give 100 per cent."
