Are you not taking this report with a pinch of salt?
Good as he is we have to be realistic and realise that we will always sell for a good price.
Think it it just shows our ambition which is to be a prem team only. Breaking higher would need our board to have resolve. If we had the strength in last 3 years to have risked losing players on a bosman and having a two year campaign we could have surprised a few.
At least this one looks to be sorted early.

Got to be hard for a board when large fees are being offered - you could have had a hell of a team but ultimately ( and think Spurs will find it out as well ) players will always look to move up a level until they reach their highest - for a club like Southampton to keep the players would prob need to offer big wages which is very risky. Think you are right that they will end up being a solid Prem Team around the top 8 looking to break into Europa Lge along with teams like Everton maybe West Ham and West Brom.
10, 20 years ago I'd have loved us to be a stable team lol.
Nowadays it's frustrating. I wouldn't want us to jeopardise our budget. Just say to a player, you signed a contract for 5, we are gonna keep you on same wage for the next 3 at least and you aren't leaving. If they kick off. Reserves for 5 and ruin em. Unfortunatley that's never gonna happen at any club. Let alone ours with a business minded owner leader our club.

So, Szczesny goes to Juve for 14m. May be a good deal, but if Ospina leaves, then Arsenal will need a back up keeper, unless Martines is viewed as enough.

Got to love this dead time and the transfer speculation especially the "whispers" http://www.skysports.com/transfer-centre
I wonder if anyone has ever researched how many times a player is linked to the same club over the close season from "sources" and never does. So often a player is a cert to go somewhere and never does. At least it keeps the forum ticking over!! Will Griezmann ever come to the PL. Will Arsenal spend. Will whoever Liverpool sign next be the second coming? Just how much will Chelsea, United and City spend? Who will be a PL revolution and who will be a waste of cash?

I think most clubs bar possibly Madrid and Barcelona all have the same frustrations - would love to be able to keep people to their contracts but we all know its never going to happen and every club will at one stage go for a player under contract , nature of the beast. Some very good and interesting rumours in regards Liverpool - most just worthy of a giggle but couple that are seriou s- Van Djik and Salah the two main ones with rumours for the Hull LB , Lacazette , Neita still and now Werner - all players that we need as well.

Even when we (Fulham) were a PL side we were a selling side and even now with the likes of Sessignon and Cairney this will continue again (look how much we let Celtic get Dembele for). It's now the norm for the majority of PL sides to be selling sides and it's a testament to the Southampton set up the way you've continued to be raided regularly and yet have been able to set yourself as a stable mid table side.

Reckon the transfers will start hotting up
Lukaku stating that he knows where he is going next year - reckon it will be Man Utd
Van Djik has said that Liverpool is his preferred option - would be great news if we get the fee sorted
Once the internationals are out of the way then can see things bein sorted

Man City are trying to save face in the media saying he's not worth £60m (yet Stones was worth £50m 😳 ) and looks like they've been beat to the punch, but not on money terms, but on VVD wanting to play for Klopp over Guardiola.
Money doesn't always talk, although personal terms need to be agreed, he's 80% Anfield bound already imo.

Can't see that, he's hardly a Jose fanboy?
I can see him coming to the Bridge, although I'm not convinced he's what we need, that will depend on others coming & going.
Unless he wants a change from the PL, then Bayern will get him.

Southampton reported LPool to the FA for making an illegal approach to VVD.
Just read this, looks like LFC have tried something dodgy to land their man from their academy 😜😂
