    Exactly, chambers 16m is ludicrous! Worst of all is that Adam lallana cost more than Kroos.... Unbelievable jef
    Only reason Kroos cost so little was because he refused to sign a contract with bayern which was going to expire next year. Similar story with Van Persie costing only 20m from arsenal. Very unfair comparison IMO

    As somebody born and bred a Saints fan before moving north of the border, it's heartbreaking to see what's happening down there. Quite a few people are referring to it as "asset stripping" in its purest form, and I'm afraid they might be right.

    It's such a big amount of players to lose in quick succession, it'll be a challenge making a 'team' out of all that are going to have to come to the club this window. A bit like Spurs last season.

    Chambers is 11m rising to 16m, hardly as ludicrous as Shaw for over 30m. Good young players go for a lot of money all over the world.

    I'm sure I heard last season that the owners were looking for a way out the club. Could be they're taking the money and running with not much or anything at all being reinvested in players. Don't know if that's still the case though. Think the owners are German.

    BBC Sport understand Morgan Schneiderlin and Jay Rodriquez are close to joining Tottenham

    Their owners must be in dream land!

    Lallana, Lovren and Lambert costing Liverpool £54 million

    Shaw costing Man Utd £32 million

    Chambers costing Arsenal £16 million

    That's £102 million from 5 players, and they have just rejected a bid from Cardiff for Jose Fonte. Schnerdelin and Rodriquez have been linked with moves too which would no doubt generate another £30 million.

    Going to be interesting to see who they bring in now though!
    Not exactly big name players either.

    Feel very sorry for Southampton fans at the moment .... their club appear to have unearthed a wealth of talent over the last few years, but as usual with clubs of that size they cant hold on to them long enough for their fans to enjoy seeing a decent team on the park with a chance of winning something.

    Still .......... As long as the fans of Liverpool, Man Utd et al are kept happy who cares about the likes of Southampton.

    It used to be the case that English fans would diss the Scottish league coz only two teams have a hope of winning it. Not any more though, theres not a lot of difference between a 12 team league shared between two clubs* and a 20 team league shared between four clubs.

    *or one as things stand now ... lol

    There have been rumours they want out after Lieber died. Don't think his family are as keen to run a football club.

    They're Swiss iirc
