Usually I'd agree, but the fact Shaw happened the same day certainly suggests that Southampton started green lighting the sales.
If I was Koeman or a member of the board, I'd be green lighting the fuck out of those transfers. They must be laughing all the way to the bank.
Koeman can probably replace Shaw, Lallana and Lambert for £10 million with players bought from the Dutch League.
it's really not an exciting signing with suarez nearing the exit door.
He can buy all of Feyenoord and then take the pick of Twente and PSV
Yep, he can definitely replace his captain and best player for under ten million.
Probably could tbh. It's all about the scouting. Or in their case, promotion from within.
They've replaced bale, the ox and Walcott over the past few years. Why not Lallana?
Maybe one day we'll be like Southampton or England if we keep up these deals
Lallana is much much more important for them than those two were at the time, and a much better player, no way will they sign someone who will have as good as season as Lallana did, especially considering they'd have to sign two other players with Modo's allotted £10m. Its a shame, because I agree with Modo's base point, ie there's better value than £25million for Lallana, but he's exaggerating it to agenda like levels.
Which is not really surprising, is it? It's amazing that he's missed the fact that most people actually agree with the sentiment, they just don't go to idiotic levels to compound the point.
I think Southampton are going to lose Lovren (to us) and maybe Rodriquez too. I expect them to finish in the bottom half of the PL next season. You can't just remove an excellent manager and their top 5 players without a massive decline, no matter who they bring in (at much lower transfer fees) to replace them.
Yeah, I think Rodriguez will go as well, likely to Spurs.
I think the biggest hurdle will be to individually replace all of the talent they are losing, but they have more than ample funds to do that, and a seemingly solid manager in place. If they're smart, they'll find players who will bed in quickly.
I'm just saying that I wouldn't be shocked if they have some new playmaker type player who has an excellent season next year, and is a real bright spot in their side. It'll be interesting to see how aggressive they'll be in bringing players in, that'll dictate their success next year.
Southampton are looking to replace Lallana with Dusan Tadic (not the war criminal - I have nothing against ducks) for about 10 million quid.
He is boss. Scores loads and assists more. Koeman knows the Eredivisie well and will have contacts at a fair few clubs having managed Feyenoord,Ajax, PSV, Vitesse and AZ.

Which Tadic?
Yes.
Then when they get relegated, they can use the £27m to keep then afloat for at least another season while whatever half decent players they have left jump ship & the search for another new manager begins.
Don't get me wrong, they'll do well out of these moves, and in the long run they'll probably be better for them, they won't be better next season though.
Nobody said they would be better next season.
Modo was certainly implying they'd be just as good, in fact they'll be a lot worse.
I would quite this to be announced today. Anyone know if this is likely?
They got 56 points this season, tenner to charity (one which accepts paypal) that they won't make 50?
