Apart from Chambers which will be completed today there will be no more sales. The Â£27m price tag on Morgan Schneiderlin has scared everybody off, which is strange to me because out of all the players we have sold apart from Rickie Lambert them two are the only ones who are actually worth their transfer fees. Jay Rodriguez is set to sign a new contract with saints, he is set to be the main man in attack no matter who we bring in. Liverpool are interested in Rodriguez but cannot afford another Â£20m+ For a Southampton player, they are now going after superstar names. As for incoming transfers I'd expect Fraser Forster to be a Southampton player by the end of this week and Virgil Van Dijk is keen to move. Ronald Koeman has been given the Â£27m and Â£20m for the sales of Shaw and Lovren to spend plus big wages to offer potential players. Think it's going to start getting exciting for us now!

As much as I would love to believe all of this, I just can't. I'll believe it when I see it when the window closes!

I feel sorry for Ronald Koeman, we have become a victim of our own success last season, and the big clubs have circled in on our best players.
The players themselves have joined this bandwagon happily as an opportunity to go to a bigger club and earn higher wages, and who can blame them.
Loyalty is no longer apart of this sport and player power has taken over due to agents conducting clubs like an orchestra.
Both Lallana and Shaw penned new deals only last year, yet still left, contracts aren't worth the paper they are written on.
The club is doing its utmost to get best price, but unfortunately we will be languishing next season.
We all need to be realistic that Southampton FC will NEVER challenge for a top four spot and be able to keep hold of our quality young players coming through.
We are a grooming club and a selling club, and it's called BUSINESS.
In the end money talks, and all this proves that a certain Matthew Le Tissier was a rare talent and amazingly loyal.

i was led to believe that saints wanted 25 million for lovren but I think only got 20 million also I thought it was 16 million for chambers but is now 12 million
so on that theory if someone offers 20 million for schneiderlin les reed will sell because he can't say NO

Look what koeman is doing. Going to his old club and buying their players. Bet Feynord are happy. That's football these days
