Yes one way to look at it and like wise I'm skeptical. Last year we lived in the 6th best house on the street but sold it and moved into the 11/12th best Yes we could renovate and stick on an extension etc and eventually return to 6th but we'd likely just sell again and return to 12/13 Never get to live in one of the top 5 houses even though we could afford it with a push

If you sell your house for £500,000 and buy a new place for £200,000 chances are you'll have a nice house but your old £500k place was almost definitely better HTH

Would need to see a breakdown but 110-115 seems more accurate

Give or take £20m

You honestly think we can or will finish top 6? We are just inside the top 6 in "our" league mate

You know when peeps say "oh it's not a million miles away/ out" well this is.... about £20million miles out give or take £20 million

If we got £50m for VVD we would spend £20m of it max.... that's the problem

It's too late mate

To be fair I would give him credit for Romeu he has looked much better than last season That's possibly it - & worryingly I think 5-7 players have gone the other way under Puel Thread about it here >>> http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?57427-What-s-gone-wrong#.WDWejIbfWaM

Just saw that WBA won Monday.... That's us down to 5th in "our" league COYR

Maybe Reed is ready to spend some of the £50 million transfer profit we've picked up over the last 3 years? Yeah or maybe not ehh

Berahino / Austin / Henry and Sturridge some great options Sturridge lol

He won't and he won't HTH

Lol Sturridge Absolutely no chance Lol

That's the dream... are we the worst in the league rather than battling to be the best in the league Bottom 3 is the new top 3

So the new 6 year contract was a 1 year contract?

The "we must sell our best players every year to be sustainable" argument got a little weak about 3 years ago You realise that TV money alone is worth £120-140 million per season now right? We are the only premier league club that sells its best players every year - why?

Liverpool can go whistle we are NOT a selling club

Thought they'd do well

It's easy to panic given the clubs appetite to sell players as soon as a bid arrives? However we are not going to sell our best players forever right? I have just reread Reeds comments again and feel a bit more relaxed now - The aspiration is to compete with the best,” he said. “That’s what we want the players to buy into. We want them to believe and the next addition will be down in reception with the trophy cabinet.”

No need to be rude mate - I haven't been rude to you? Maybe read this >>> can't see any mention of your claims here? https://southamptonfc.com/news/2016-05-07/van-dijk-signs-new-six-year-contract-with-saints I have been told Saints players don't have BIG club release clauses so he's here for 6 years unless we decide to cash in again

You keep our best players by signing them to long contracts VVD just signed a 6 year contract mate - he is not deaperate to leave VVD is ambitious and will want to win trophies - he will only be desperate to leave if he feels he can't do that here

Against their will? VVD just signed a new 6 year contract - is he desperate to leave a few months later?

The "Southampton way" would be fantastic if you're a shareholder or owner But this forum is for fans and it amazes me that Saints fans care so little about our club being stripped each and every summer Unless something changes soon (new owners) we will look back on this period as a serious opportunity missed I was there when we went to Milan and finished 13th - it was amazing
