Somebody fancy posting last years starting XI with '?' instead of a player who's been sold

I want to see how much damage has been done Laughing

I remember Portsmouth selling Crouch, Kranjcar, Distin, Begovic, glen Johnson, Williamson, Younes Kaboul in one season

But that was after they had gotten relegated from the PL, which makes it far more understandable.

still have FIFA goat Gaston Ramirez too

Osvaldo is a Inter target indeed, some sources say that we are close to him

by halamadrid2 28/7/2014, 17:40

Osvaldo rumoured to be going to Inter and Jay Rodriguez to Spurs. Arsenal are interested in Schneiderlin too

How many left after that Laughing

Pochettino genius for leaving, say what you want about Spurs, at least Levy has ambition

They do have ambition but it's often misplaced, they could be a lot further on as a football club with smarter recruitment and decision making as a club.

We are the opposite, we make smart decisions and recruit well but have zero ambition.

feel sorry for the fans Sad

Has there been any other team that's been stripped this badly? (other than portsmouth)

by RealGunner 28/7/2014, 18:02

Lol Pochettino went away becuase he was told that none of the players will be stopped if they wanted to leave. That's why he nearly left mid season last year too.

he's planning on building Spurs a new larger ground, is trying to get them to be a constant top 4 contender....what is so wrong about that statement?

Southampton midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin and forward Jay Rodriguez are close to joining Tottenham. More soon. #saintsfc #thfc

Gil pls respond Proud

by Gil 28/7/2014, 19:16

It's a shame sugar daddy clubs like Man City and Chelsea have destroyed Southampton.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce 28/7/2014, 19:21

No one has destroyed Southampton but themselves. If they showed a bit of backbone they could have easily kept some of these players.

They had no interest in doing that though and if anything they are trying to sell. Laughing

Absolutely disgusting.

by Onyx 28/7/2014, 19:34

They should have clicked the reject button when someone made a bid. hmm

by Art Morte 28/7/2014, 20:11

This is really getting funny now Very Happy

Tottenham have a stacked squad already, though, they must be looking to offload a couple of players if Schneiderlin and Rodriguez join them.

by RED 29/7/2014, 01:23

These lot are done for.

I wonder what odds could you get for their relegation.

Can't remember the last time I've seen an exodus of players leave a team like this. I'm talking important players.

Juventus or Parma when they got relegated to Serie B

by BarrileteCosmico 29/7/2014, 03:30

Let's not compare this Southampton side to Parma and Juve back then Laughing

The praise is hyperbolic for a team that finished 8th.

Oh just make comparison in term of numbers; also 8th for club of Southampton status is not too far off from 1st place winner of Juventus. As for Southampton, Le Tessier probably shaking his head in the pub somewhere.

by BarrileteCosmico 29/7/2014, 03:37

I suppose that's true, for Southampton it is a great achievement.

In massive massive debt too. Weren't they about to go into administration at that stage? Why we got Johnson for so cheap. He "cost" 17.5m, but we only really paid 10, as Ports owed us 7 or something for Crouch iirc

.

Schneiderlin is the only player that won't look "lost" at a top club. Luckily he just joined Spurs. Would of been scared if he joined, I don't know, someone like Arsenal.
