Yep, as you say, they have paid for potential which we all know is a gamble. It is all academic now however as the deal has been done and he now plays for Arsenal. Time will tell if Wenger's gamble has paid off but £16m is still a lot of money (een if it does include add ons) for a young kid who has yet to play a full season at the highest level. RK must have sanctioned the move and he knows what he wants better than we do.

Still more than Spurs think that Schneiderlin is worth!

We are not the only club in this position though are we so what is your problem? There will be a lot of activity by a number of Premiership clubs during that last couple of days of the transfer window. Does this mean tha every club is run inefficiently? Of course not, it is just the way things are.

Cheap? £16m for a bit part player for a mid table team yet to prove himslef at the highest level? Really? He has been criticised for his performances at CH so far this season for Arsenal and if he gets an England call up it is more about the lack of options in that position than how good he is. He might well turn out to be an International class player but he isnt right now.

A true Saints legend.

I didnt care for the way that Pochettino moaned about refs decisions. It sucks when you get poor calls but Adkins never used to ***** about them.

No one could ever accuse you of having a cynical point of view about the current Board Charlie

Arsenal's defense has been criticised heavily for defensive lapses which have involved Chambers at CH. He may well turn out to be a great player but at the moment he is hardly setting the world alight.

Big fish eat little fish. We "plunder" other teams players too. You simply cannot prevent players wanting to go, or going to bigger clubs. What would happen if we were prevented from leaving our jobs and going to better ones? As tough as it is, it is life and we need to get on with it.

Yep, a black and white classic from the 50s!

Perhaps he stubbed his toe so it wasnt technically a lie? Who knows? Koeman says that Schneiderlin and Cork are staying and I am prepared to believe that until they actually leave.

You do know you have got the wrong brother right guys? This one was the actor, the one still living does animals.

Really? For a lot of the summer we were told that Caulker was a prime target only been told later that RK was never interested. Ralph says he didnt discuss transfers when in Toronto. You can believe him or not, your choice. I tend to take all transfer talk with a pinch of salt until something actually happens.

Has his "move" to Spurs ever been on???

You could save yourself so much grief by just supporting Spurs.

Something is wrong here. Isnt this supposed to be the Southampton website? Not only have Liverpool bought a number of our players, they seem to have taken over our website too.

Indeed Whitey. But Koeman has said that he is keeping MS, JR and JC so I dont know what the problem is?

Why dont we just wait and see rather than waste time trying to double guess what is going to happen?

No we dont.

Pochettino was not an overnight success. Give RK and the squad some time before you write them off.

Give it a rest FFS.

Second game of the season. There is a long way to go. Chill out FFS.

It is not just players that are expected to deliver from day 1 but Board members and Management teams. I wonder how many "supporters" would walk into a new job and be brilliant from day one? Not many I suspect.

Sorry but where did it say we were going to keep our manager and our best players? We had no choice over the manager leaving and a number of our best players wanted out. Keep up.

This is QPR we are talking about. Remember, they scraped promotion by the skin of there teeth and are managed by Harry Redknapp. Lets see if the swarm all over Chelsea or Liverpool or Man City.
