I wonder what happened to Baldini getting involved in these negotiations.
We probably have more than one deal going on at a time

I would have to be a Southampton Fan at the moment. Basically they are becoming a feeder club for the Top 6. I suppose as long as they continue to produce through their ranks they will be ok. But in the last year they will have lost nearly 7 first team starters.
Shaw
Clyne
Alderweireld
Lovren
Lallana
Lambert
True. Levy is probably nowhere near this.I think he is (especially for a mid-range signings like this). Levy spends most of his summers in the US. The headlines sound less good with FB though

and still achieved their highest PL finish, qualified for europe. Fans are having a great time
yeah maybe. But you cant sustain that amount of turnover of playing staff and stay successful. But I hope they do in a way, I Want to see English team bringing players through. I liked the fact that teams like Southampton, Leicester etc rely on bring through their own than relying on buying over priced foreign players that are not better.
Vertonghen and Alderweireld lining up together at Old Trafford come August 8th sounds good to me.
To be fair a whole generation got poached when they slipped down the leagues: Bale, Walcott, Oxlade Chamberlain, Mills, McGoldrick, Blackstock etc.But Southampton aren't gonna do that much more. There buying in foreigners as they now have they cash to replace the British lads they have sold
When we played them last season over both games they had hardky anyone who had come through the ranks.
At WHL they had two lads in the bench
At their ground they had one starter and two lads in the bench that came through the ranks
It's now a bit of a myth under Koeman
Fellaini will monster them unfortunately

They then brought through another lot which has just been plundered: Clyne, Lallana, Chamberlain, Shaw etc.
They still have Ward-Prowse, Schneiderlin etc in the first team. They can't just have wave after wave of youth ready to go. If 6-7 of our youth products knocking on the first team door went then we would have none either. They have to buy to replace holes created in their squad: they cant have no right back for 3 years on the pitch whilst they wait for the next one to develop to be fair.
This is why we need a commanding CM, to stick it up players like this in tough games
