Is it all bad?

[saintwayne]

I for one am excited and quite liking all the change. The media are selling us a story of meltdown, I ain't buying it!

Luke? Daaamn good money for him, especially as his replacement will cost a fraction of that.
Adam? Laters. He'll take time to settle up there and I don't see him working too well in that side. Great player for us but a bit of a one-trick-pony. The next Joe Allen.
Morgan? Ok, damn I'll miss him in a Saints shirt when he eventually goes.
Dejan? Didn't fire on all cylinders for most of the 2nd half of last season and the underrated Fonte carried him for the most part.

More so I really like Koemans style of football and can't wait to see us playing some great attacking football under his stewardship. Sure the new players need to settle so it might be a bit wobbly as the season starts but we'll come good.

We are Southampton, the pride of the south! Onwards and upwards! We're off shopping.

Sorry, can't agre

I like Dejan, but did notice he was prone to committing silly, unnecessary fouls, on occasion.

Well I've still renewed my ST and still can't wait for the start of the season.

Not trying to be negative, and as I've said I lay no blame on the board, we have simply become victims of our own success. The facts are we have lost some very talented, homegrown players so it's natural to be despondent.

I find it hard to see the incomings being of similar quality to what we have lost. Must admit I know feck all about Tadic, hopefully he is better than Lallana.

[BileysThere]

Surely the question you lot need to ask is 'where will the money from sales go'? If it clears debts great, if it replaces quality players with like great, whats the bottom line you will accept without feeling let down?

[kernow]

We've already been told that the money received from players that we have "no need to sell" will be reinvested in the team.

We have no reason to doubt them, do we !?

[chiswickmart]

Yeah why would you have any reason to doubt them? It's not like you're getting a truck load of first team kit from Costco or anything!!

[Brockley_Jack]

You're entitled to your opinion Wayne and I respect that. Personally I'm taking a glass half full attitude to all this, summed up well by PF.

Oh, and here's Tarquin, right on cue having a pop at the new kit announcement. Division four! Really?

[chiswickmart]

I like Tarquin, it's a for superiority which is undoubtedly what I have over you heathens!!
