Figures 1-0 Football Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Southampton have gone as far as they could go imo, they also consistently sell their best players and we learnt that eventually your luck on finding replacements will run out. Everton have a stronger team & were mismanaged by Martinez, they'll do well next year. How can you say something like this after last season? Realistically that isnt going to happen every year is it A freak season. Southampton played above expectations themselves this season, they'll be midtable at best next year, unless they replace Koeman with someone decent.

joeyt Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 They've improved on league positions and points every season since they've been promoted, despite selling their better players and managers leaving. To say it was a freak season is ridiculous Had they had a better start to the season they could have been seriously pushing for Champions League places Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they sell Mane, Wanyama last summer when Man U were sniffing? They've sold Shaw, Lallana, Chambers, Schneiderlin, Clyne and Lovren to big clubs in the last two years, of course they're a selling club. Mane will probably go this summer. I strongly doubt Man Utd wanted Wanyama last summer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I strongly doubt Man Utd wanted Wanyama last summer in hindsight they would have been mad to turn down any of those offers: £12mn for Chambers, ~£20mn for Lallana, £30mn+ for Shaw, £25mn for Lovren (!). They've gone out and used that money to strengthen. Are you telling me Everton would be able to resist similarly inflated prices for their players? Lukaku will probably go this summer, likewise Stones. They are no more a selling club than anybody else outside the top 6 - look at Leicester potentially selling Vardy and Kante, and they just won the league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy84 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Southampton now looking for a manager, some of the names they have been linked with really puts into context how massive it was for us to get Rafa.

When you look at tossers like Pardew/Hippo head/Pulis and their stinking football, they get constant praise. Fucking baffles me no end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
