Agree with you 100% scriv. These are the type of players we need, fit our profile of developing good youngsters, and also fit with RoKo's approach.

It would also mean that there would be some cash left from sales that RoKo could utilise in January once he had seen how the team settles and develops.

And it just might be (optimist that I am) that some of our current youngsters will develop and see the pitfalls of jumping ship for financial reward! (See todays papers already full of negativity towards Luke Shaw-I suggested a move to Utd. was exactly what he didn't need, and he would enter a potentially toxic situation if they had a poor start. I hope RoKo is giving all the youngsters reading homework based on these reports.) The media plus an arrogant manager and Woy will destroy this lads future if they carry on.

Cleverly would have been a top signing for Southampton. One of those players who is always underrated and underestimated.

£8 million plus wages, signing on fees, agents fees etc would blow away a significant amount of what money is left.

And in answer to previous comments: the players who left this summer would have left anyway. Cortese or no Cortese.

Cleverly would have been terrible! can anyone actually tell me what he's good at? he can't pass, he can't tackle, he can't shoot. seriously anyone?

cortese said himself he would not have let anyone leave. regardless. a contract is a contract in his and my eyes.

unpopular man amonst a huge amount of fans but wrongly so. the blokes attention to details was incredible. ruthless business man and obviously a very good sales man selling the vision of SFC.

we are now as appealing as something very un-appealing. hence why I stated we needed to try for a marquee signing early on in the window.

Cortese was bleeding the club dry, no matter what he had done for the club. STEALING. . taking another persons property without permission or legal right and with no intention of returning it. THIEF. . Cortese. let's forget about him & move on

If my baby needed it I would do it to sfc was cortese baby
