The plundering of the saints!

Interesting article on Southampton in the mirror this morning from David maddock, he writes saying that Southampton are being raided by other teams looking to sign upto 9 players. He says that along with the deal to take Rickie Lambert to Liverpool, Adam Lallana has told the saints that he's only willing to move to Liverpool and that he was promised a move at the seasons end. Lovren has also been linked with an £18m move to Liverpool.

Liverpool:

Lambert
Lallana
Lovren

Spurs:

Rodriguez
Ward-prowse

Utd:

Shaw

Arsenal:

Schniderlin
Chambers

Lot of players to lose for the saints but would you be happy signing the players that you've been linked to from them?

We cant really say that GB? Lovren had two DM's in front of most of the season while Skrtel and co our end had a experimental Gerrard in front of him and some dodgy full backs.

Lovren should be nothing more than £12m max.

I agree with you to a certain extent junction but they are in debt quite a lot and it's they're fault that they didn't have Poch on a longer deal!

The teams have really plundered them haven't they? It's so difficult to improve if this happens to them consistently. However no one's looking at Clyne who I think is a good player.

they will be pretty minted after this summer to be fair and they have such an amazing academy in a couple of years Ward-Prowse will be sold for £30m.

Southampton can afford to sell. They must have the most successful youth policy in English football. Just look at who have come throught their books. Just look where the Gooners would be without Wilcott, Ox, Wilshere etc.

It was always going to be impossible for Saints to keep their stars.

When you have a load of highly rated players but can't get in Europe its inevitable.

Quite simply the players have outgrown the club.

It happens to every club, even the biggest clubs when they fall below expectations (Mascherano, Torres etc).
