From today's Star: Southampton manager Mark Hughes will have to offload players before he can press ahead for any incoming deals, including one for Serbia star Filip Kostic.

Apart from Forren, I'd agree with this. Lundekvam, Ostenstad, Svensson x 2, Killer, Tessem, Niemi, Ostlund - missing anybody? Don't think we've ever had an Icelander?

Sure about that??

Agree. Would be daft to let go if Bertrand is off as well.

Like Osvaldo.....

Carillo, I just don't feel like we've seen him at all so is it too early to sack off £19 million worth of signing?!

Listening to him on R5L yesterday after the game, he seemed quite non-committal. Sounded like a 'let's wait and see pans out' kind of interview...

When the board went up with 6 minutes on it, I nearly had a f.ucking coronary

Just popped up on my FB feed as 6 years to the day that I proudly announced 'We are Premier League'......

Arrogance or just shortsightedness??

Hughes deciding it's a luxury he can't afford at this stage??

Anyone got a stream?

PAIR OF ****S

Just came across this online https://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/football/four-players-southampton-need-to-keep-this-summer/ar-AAw2bYB#image=AAw2bYz|1

Would make Højbjerg captain

Should've finished his career with us

the line that made me chuckle was 'while he will continue to give his all'.....

This ^^^

There is nothing 'racist' in this post whatsoever Like you said, it's just an opinion.

Said with overwhelming certainty based on what exactly??

That our model of buying low and consistently selling, usually high, was always going to eventually run out of steam. The issue seems to be that a) there is no plan B, and b) we have become the PL stepping stone club of choice. Anybody of any calibre who comes here and performs is gone within a season.

He covers the entire back line, not that we ever got to see it. With 70+ caps for Uruguay, I'd still maintain he'd've been better than what we've currently got

And we signed Caceres, played him once and then released him. Tidy enough for Lazio, but surplus to requirements here. Go figure....

Does anyone genuinely know whether there are relegation release clauses or financial reductions in the players contracts?
