[Ironside]

Southampton

Out: Luke Shaw (Manchester United, £30m rising to £31m), Adam Lallana (Liverpool, £25m), Rickie Lambert (Liverpool, £4m), Tom Leggett, Isaac Nehemie (Both Aston Villa, Undisclosed), Danny Fox (Nottingham Forest), Andy Robinson (Bolton), Lee Barnard (Southend United), Matt Young (Sheffield Wednesday).

add onto that lovern 20m and chambers 16m

btw i just cut and pasted the prices from the telegraph's transfer page as it is handy, i dont think we got 30 million for shaw was sure it was nearer 27 million

but in total its around 90-100 million and we still have osvaldo, fonte, schnierlin and roderigous likely to go which should bring up £150 million in sales if koeman does stick to his word of not letting schnderlin go for under £27 million

Well you can't say that Saints aren't getting top whack for their players I suppose!

[Ironside]

yep but getting top whack, but hard to replace the players we have lost espically now everyone knows we have over 110 million in from transfers and more to come

clubs we have sold to

aresenal, liverpool, man u all finish above saints year in year out

if we have kept those 5 players plus the 2 more that are likely to goto bigger clubs than the saints
and use the millions that we had supposedly had for transfers to purchase a cpl of players ourself
then saints could of been finishing in the top 6 next season
instead unless something happens soon we will be starting the season off with a team of kids
and by the time we get players in at the end of august and get them settled we could be in a relegation dogfight

Schneiderlin and Rodriguez to Spurs is imminent according to the local southampton journalists

yep although liverpool are tabling a last minute bid for rodriguez

fonte is going to cardiff as he wont sign an extention

the only player not planning boruc on leaving is the one we are closet to replacing with forster

This is so painful.

Been trying to be upbeat about it all Summer but this is just too much now.

[TightEnd]

obviously top 6 clubs are not going to be turned down by manager or players

but is there a financial imperative for this, now that Cortese has gone?

if not why would you sanction all nine going?

how much would it have cost to buy the whole club?

i am not so bad now as i knew it was coming and to be honest some of the players we are linked to are of a good quailty
proplem is being linked to them doesnt mean we will get them and we might just end up with joe blogs from notts forrest or tumshie from wolves

its like somebody is playing football manager 2013, selling all players for top dolla and trying to build a team

i do something similar when i start a game of footy manager i sell off anyone i dont fancy them build mainly from the free agents using the money from transfers for wages
but i never get that sort of money for the players

still 8.0 for the saints when we have sold so many we will be there or there about

think true odds must be under 4.0
