mturner93, you really think cedric has been that good? He's had a fairly decent euros but was poor for us last season, and as for your last point, i've been a Southampton fan my whole life. I may be wrong in some of my original points, but all I am really trying to say is this: I am pretty fed up of the club constantly passing on our best assets. I feel like its come to a point where the majority of our players have no reason to remain faithful to Southampton, and its a bad reputation to build. Players will start joining to try and impress in their first season, in order to get a transfer to a bigger club the next season. Managers too.
We've just signed Redmond. That's great. But, one good season and he will be off to a bigger club next year, and the club will profit. Seem's that's all they're interested in doing. Not maintaining and building the squad.

Do you honestly think that? By "a few little gems" do you mean the likes of Ramirez, Juanmi, Cedric etc? I agree we have made a few brilliant signings such as Tadic, Van Dijk and so on. But as a Saints fan I'm completely fed up with the way the club is run. Selling our main assets for huge amounts of money and hardly reinvesting it back in to the club.
We have made some great signings, but could have made even better. If we really want to start being a threat in Europe and work our way towards the champions league, we need to make some bigger signings. Not just replacements after we've sold off our best players. Seems to me like its just being run as a very profitable business for the owner. I think its about time us saints fans admit this and stand up to it. After selling Mane for £35 million, I expect southampton to sign a BIG name. Not a couple of average players from the Dutch/ Spanish league who none of us have ever heard of until we've watched some poorly made YouTube compilation. It's not going to be easy to top our performance last season with the players some of the top teams are linked with.
