Koeman wants to fill his pockets and knows Hampton has got the cash

Funny thing is that Koeman left Feyenoord cause he knew his best players would be sold this summer and he could not to any better (2nd place) then last season with the team that would be left over (even with new players) and now at Southampton he has exactly the same problem.. I think not relegating is already good at this point for Southampton

Most people think that, I do too, so we won't be pushing for Europa league any time soon. Maybe Keoman was offered a deal, we'd already sold Lambert by the time we got him in and our board said no one else would be sold until we get a new manager.

This was exactly true, as soon as we hired Keoman peopl started leaving. I think that he was talked to and told 'Look we have offers for a number of players, are you happy to let them go, if we get good replacements for them.'

This would allow him to build his team as opposed to taking someone elses and carying on. But the sale of such players as Jack Cork, which is an excellent backup for the first team shows something is amiss. Unless he's on a stupid wage for his role (which I don't think he is) there is no reason to sell.



Hmm, pie.

Of course it would be! We never won a Libertadores so... yeah it would be really big if we won!

PS: You better cheer for San Lorenzo or I will send you Hate mail for the rest of your life.


Looks like you guys won, congrats!

I was about to post and saw your quote! Thanks!

And yeah! We won the Copa Libertadores! Such an important cup couldn't escape this great team anymore. It was about time we won it!

Looks like Dinamo Zagreb is buying players left and right! I'm glad to see they're afraid of Petrolul Ploiesti!

Pulis left Crystal Palace 2 days before the season starts.

Take that, people mocking my club for Robins leaving after a game.

The Pulis thing is weird but oh well, means we'll keep Jack Cork. :P

Good luck to all prem clubs this week.

On a side note, I predict B Munich will win Champions League this season. Saying it now so when the season ends and I'm right, I can quote this post and be like "I'm the best!"



Hmm, pie.

Champions League will be back in England this time around, people. Man City, Chelsea or to a lesser extent, Arsenal.

Premier League is Chelsea
FA Cup is Manchester United
League Cup is Arsenal

Steaua Bucharest- Pandurii Tg. Jiu ( 6-0)! The best part is that all those goals were scored by the same player, Claudiu Keseru! Damn, poor Ludogorets is going to get destroyed!
