What is going on there ,apart from making 92m and spending 20 they're going to basically have to rebuild a whole side and with the season being a few weeks away not long to get them to gel it's got to be a good case to lump on for relegation they've been absolutely raped |  | | |  |

Jay Rodriguez and Morgan Schneiderlin on their way to Spurs. |
Didn't Rodriguez have a bad injury that kept him out of the World Cup?
It might be getting the stage now where the remaining good players want to get out because they can see the way the club is going. |  | | |

On an individual basis, the deals look quite sensible. A big club comes along and offers one of your players a big salary, so he wants to leave. They offer the club a massive transfer fee, so it's hard to turn down.
At what point should Southampton start refusing? If Liverpool want to buy Rodriguez and Southampton say no, they are going to have to deal with an unhappy player. | | | |

Yes, seems a bit odd. Maybe it's a case of a business person taking over the reins and trying to make a fat profit as opposed to staying in the PL. We've got them at home on Sept 20th so hopefully they'll be in a bit of disarray by then ;) |
They might have plenty of cash, but they're going to have to pay way over the odds in transfer fees and wages to get decent players in before the start of the season. | | | |

They always seem to bring through good youth team players. So expect to see some more players with good potential come through. |  |
| Trundle could still do a job.. |

Yeah - they've got a shït-hot academy. One that we can only dream of. They just keep churning out quality. |  | | |

Saints are my local team so I have been paying quite a lot of attention to their situation.
A few years ago now their owner, who was some billionaire who loved hte team passed away, and the are now owned by his daughter. Fans are split pretty much 50/50
Half think his daughter has little interest in the club and is now asset stripping before she sells up, and that Cortese jumped ship when he realised what was going to happen
Half seem to think Cortese is to blame for everything, as he sold an unrealistic CL vision to players, who now want to leave as that vision does not look like being achieved.
Of course there are other views as well but most think one of the above is the case.
All are absolutely fuming at the number of players they have sold in one window and anxious bout the upcoming season, some think they may (shock horror) struggle to get in the top 8-10 - they are quite an arrogant bunch, whilst some more realistic fan are worrying about relegation.
Personally I don't know what to think, unfortunately for Saints fans I think there are more exits to come this summer. One thing that is interesting though is the appointment of Koeman, who surely wouldn't have joined if he wasn't going to get a large transfer budget, particularly with all the outgoings. He does not strike me as an appointment for if the owner is asset stripping and they need a figure to go along with that. |
Why are they spending all that money on new floodlights then? |  |

Brendan is a cu#t .

Saints fans will agree with (some) Swans fans hey Tom ?
If Rodriguez & Schneiderlin join Spurs they may not be loving their ex manager either. |  | | |

That's a f*cking leap! They've been back in the PL two years, almost got relegated in the first year and sold the crown jewels after a season in the sun the second year. They've been bummed mate and this nonsense about their academy is almost as bad as the one about West Ham and the academy of football. Utter boIIocks. |  |

I will crack on, and ill crack on knowing its mugs like you who cant see a club being taken to pieces before their eyes. And if you don't see the Swansea comparisons ( from 1997 onwards not 2002 ) your a mug. | |
