    Lallana was the one that shocked me the most...I guess he inoculated me to the others leaving.

    Lallana was the one that made me change how I feel about players. Now I just enjoy it while they are here, rather then get down when they go.

    It's appears from the posts on social media from the players and backroom staff since the confirmation of his move that Fonte will be missed more in the dressing room and around the club that actually on the pitch?

    He'll be missed by both. Think this is a big turning point for the club, and not in a good way.

    We aren't a one man team...Jose has been here a long time and is bound to be missed personally and professionally, but I'm not expecting a cataclysm. I decided a while ago that this was going to be a so-so season (apart from winning the League Cup :)), but we can step up again next season if we get a good summer.

    Lol, that had me laughing out loud. The other half just questioned what "are you doing in the kitchen"

    But seeing as you have confidently predicted the imminent disintegration of the club at least once in each of the last 3 seasons, probably not such a big deal, eh?

    Can't see us bringing in someone of equal stature, both as a player and a leader. The off-pitch impact will be interesting.

    I think Van Dijk will step up now. I would hope one of the more senior players will help him out.

    You been speaking to my other half Beefy? When I am pissed off with a Saints result (quite often recently), she always says "I don't know why you're upset, they don't care about you when you have a bad day at work" :)

    Actually, no I haven't. If you can find evidence to back that up, please do. I was in favour of Cortese going, when most predicted the end of the club as a result. I was right behind the appointment of Koeman as well. I was upset about Adkins going, more about the way it happened more than who replaced him.

    So, darling, please do get your facts right.

    I'm not sure we will and I won't be horrified if we don't.

    He will step up, for four months, then he's off.

    Call me stupido_O, but I have half a hope that Virgil will stay in the summer. I will bask in that thought till something dissuades me.

    You forget, they won the '66 World Cup singlehandedly.
