In the short term yes but not in the long term. Chambers will be worth far more next season yet it seems we are now prepared to sell our top players even before they have broken through in a big way.
We don't have to wait until the start of the season to see the damage that has been done to team morale and the message we have sent out by selling Chambers. That will still be the case regardless of who we bring in.
They tried being open buy the it transpired that what they said was just lies. You are probably right though, no statement can adequately explain selling the likes of chambers and most fans wouldn't want to see them try.
It's not really a case of him being wrong in this instance. He just heard something about it so in my. Kind the possibility is worth discussing even if it's untrue. Certainly the scale and speed of our sales has taken the fanbase by surprise and it would be interesting to know if Koeman knew about them all before he joined.
And even if you can't do that for every player, you don't make it easy for them to leave. You certainly don't allow 7 first team players to leave easily and definitely not a young prospect with a handful of first team appearances for 11 million.
Other posters said what they had heard not me. I said it wouldn't surprise me. How can you fail to understand that? It's fairly simple. As usual you fail to comprehend a relatively simple point.
If that's the case I presume that every time we finish higher than tenth (if that ever happens again) we can look forward to most of the team leaving. Joyous.
Southampton Football Club would like it known that Ronald Koeman and his coaching team have left the club. Ceo Gareth Roberts says "this is a great opportunity for us and will allow us to make replacements in key area and for years to come."
