Ok, basically I've managed to get hold of a list of players who are likely to depart from Southampton over the course of the summer. Most of these have got clubs who are being linked with moves to take them although a few who are seemingly going to become unemployed.
Billy Sharp (Rumours linking him with several championship clubs including Reading, Leeds and of course Nottingham Forest)
Tommy Forecast (Unemployed)
Ryan Dickson (Sounds like he's ending his contract but may have a new club lined up, I don't really know)
Guly Do Prado (I know he apparently has a good relationship with Cortese but rumours are stating he may follow Adkins to Reading in the summer).
Danny Fox (Same story about going to Reading).
Danny Seaborne (Charlton interested)
Aaron Martin (Several teams interested including Bournemouth and Doncaster)
Dean Hammond (Seems relatively certain he will be leaving to join Brighton permanently)
Tadnari Lee (Likely to return to Japan but may step down to Championship for 1st team opportunities)
Richard Chaplow (Linked with a few Championship clubs including Burnley, Nottingham Forest and Derby County)
Danny Butterfield (Thought he may be retiring this summer to move into a development role working with youth at the club)
Jos Hooiveld (apparently somehow managed to attract interest from SPL and back in Holland despite his awful record of 3 own goals this season)
Paolo Gazzaniga (Personally hate this rumour because I think he has great potential, just needs more confidence. But can't deny rumour mill keeps saying he doesn't get on with Poch so could be on the way out)
Steve De Ridder (Linked with return to homeland of Belgium)
Basically that's what I've been hearing so maybe this '15' players out idea that was in the paper a few weeks back may be somewhat accurate after all, I've listed 14 but it's in no way beyond the imagination that others could go either.
Hope so
Most of these players know they have no future at saints so will be looking for a move. However Hoover, Paolo and Fox will only move once replaced.
Just curious, but by "that's what I've been hearing" do you mean you've read them on this site? I ask because I'm pretty sure every one of these rumors has been on here recently.
Stopped reading after "Tommy Forecast (unemployed) "
If this really were inside information you would know he has been offered a deal by Gillingham.
