We haven't bought endless back ups though.
Do you seriously think we could have bought players better than Alderweireld & Schneiderlin? Or are you just posting for the sake of it?
Do you not remember the clamour for strength in depth?
I wouldn't boo, but why any Saints fan would still cheer Wanyama I will never know.
We had this debate in the summer, he's had great support from our fans and that really hasn't made any positive difference has it.
If you lose the quality of player we have, you'd have to spend a fortune to bring in players of equal quality.
People are so keen to have someone to blame, it's not necessarily the fault of either the board or Koeman, a few errors from them both in a tough season.
I think only 5 players scored 15 or more goals last season, it's a rarity. The return from Pelle, Long, Mane & Tadic is decent, it's the goal scoring contributions from the rest of the side, particularly midfield that is more of a problem.
I thought the game summed up our season.
We looked the better team for large chunks.
Not clinical last third, both finishing and creativity.
And always a sloppy defensive mistake to undo our hard work.
And we've now got to be pay for Stekelenberg and Forster, Gardos and Caulker. Two wages for one position in affect.
Plus a bit more squad depth.
Plus, I'd imagine Bertrand is on more than Shaw for example, so swings and roundabouts.
