Just clicked that Southampton have now made approx 90million pounds from transfers in this window, so as much as Liverpool really.
Interested to see who they sign before the window shuts.
They have bought one guy for 10mil so far, and still may sell Schneiderlin for big bucks yet.
It's bizarre to see so many go out and so few come in. They must have a strategy and plan up their sleeve but the later they leave it, the more the prices inflate as the options lessen. Saints fans must be tearing their hair out, and lots are having a go at LFC fans on Twitter like it's our fault they decided to sell! Haha.
They still have a number of good players from last season, as well as the best youth academy in the country. They will go and buy a few guys from the dutch league (that Koeman knows very well) as well as maybe 1 big (£15m-ish) signing meaning that their net spend for the summer will be about £50m profit. What they are gambling on is that a number of teams in the league are significantly worse than them (Burnely, WBA, Swansea, West Ham, Palace, QPR, Man Utd, Sunderland, etc).
In terms of transfers so far, the team I would be most worried about is Sunderland - apparently they have let 12 players leave so far, and only signed 3 guys on a free (including a reserve goalkeeper), and Patrick Van Aanholt from Chelsea. They only stayed up last season because of a miraculous run in the last couple of months of the season, plus Poyet (who I think is a good manager) always seems to be at loggerheads with the board, and could easily be out of the door pretty soon. All adds up to trouble.
