Horror show for Saints fans this summer.

I thought we had it tough with Moyes, but Saints supporters are being mentally destroyed. All they loved about their club is being destroyed in a few weeks.
If you are selling four or five key players like Southampton have already done, it sets a precedent for the rest of the squad. It's only natural for Schneiderlin to assume Southampton to dramatically sink, so I really can't blame him for wanting out.
No idea what is going on at that club but it's an absolute shambles. Shaw, Lallana, Lovren, Lambert and chambers all gone for 92M. Osvaldo listed, Shneiderlin and Rodriguez apparently wanting out. Manager gone.
Fans deserve better. Hot favourites for the drop.

I don't see why Saints fans would be so depressed. They got their new Dutch manager walking round, being all jolly and takin' photos.
What a disastrous summer for SouthamptonKoeman has played this all wrong. Can't remember where I heard it but I read that he agreed with the board that anyone that wants to leave can leave. Now that they've shipped off half the team, other guys want out too. I can't imagine what it's like to be a Southampton fan.
This is footballing slavery.
They should have demanded exchanges with the transfers. Some of their players are moving on but are making moves to be squad players as opposed to regulars.
For Shaw, they could have asked for Fellaini / Anderson / Hernandez / Zaha
For Chambers - Jenkinson / Arteta
For Lovren / Lallana / Lambert - Coates / Borini / Wisdom / Kelly / Enrique / Reina
For Schneiderlin / Rodriguez - Adebayor / Dawson / Sigurdsson / Capoue / Chadli etc
Takes the piss that teams are coming back for their players with so much ease. Show some bargaining power. By even bringing up some names of opposition players you can drive the price up further.

The Southampton fans better get the alcohol out
How has it been destroyed in an hour? What hour? What happened? Bloody footballers should be banned from twitter
Be pretty bad to be a Southampton fan right now. They should honestly just let all those that want to leave go at this point and built a new team. They can't let this drag on as the season starts
Wages would be a problem with quite a lot of those players I imagine.
The big problem is now that most clubs now know they have over £100m to spend. Good luck getting your money's worth there.
One can only assume they have vast amounts of Vaseline
Is this a real quote?
Put yourself in the players' shoes. Receiving offers from some of the biggest clubs in the world but get forced by your current club to stay. How would that make you feel? Koeman was in a very tough situation and had to make a choice. And in fairness, they got really, really good money for all the players and have enough funds to rebuild.
Krueger went on SSN and said their not selling
I imagine bridges have been burnt now. He's probably throwing a hissy fit on twitter to help force the move.
They should be banned from twitter though. They are acting like teenagers.
What a tool. He'll move on to bigger wages and to a team in the top 8 probably.
Southampton are fecked.
They've got decent money for the players to be fair, all at a fair price I'd say. The problem with asking for these players is whether any of these guys would even go there.
Very doubtful.
The "cause all the other clubs are doing the same" is made up I think. The previous parts were said though.
I think you've missed misunderstood the tweet. He's writing this because the Saints are refusing to let him go to Spurs.
First part is - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28535770
Second part I can't find anything on.
This. It's even worse than the multiple dots as a facebook status by an unhappy teenage girl that has got a white Iphone instead of black.
I really hope it's not a bull because that would mean somebody finally woke up the giant.
Yeah, thinking about it, there really is not much the Southampton board can do. Yeah they've got decent money but not he's essentially got to build a whole new team now.
Footballers should have the same rights and liberties as everyone. It's the other people who should stop overreacting to every single thing they do or say.
Awesome. Huge thank You, mate.
I think that's us being done buying a DM. Clearly states that can be taught/learned. Can really see us pushing for Cuadrado now. Most natural/gifted wingback available.
Ah right.
I understood the tweet, I just don't like the whole "Poor me" feeling from it. "6 years of an amazing journey destroyed."
Does he expect Southampton fans to side with him or something? They've seen their team ripped up in 6 weeks.
Surprised so many written reports omitted that part of the quote, fairly important admission.
So, reading between the lines...
- he maybe quite rates Fellaini
- RVP likely to be captain
- he's likely to be looking for a couple of specialist wing backs
Show some bargaining power? They got the best part of £30m out of us for Shaw, £25m for Lallana, £20m for Lovren?
They're not exactly getting mugged off price wise!!
