40m for Lavia, 35m for JWP, 22.5m ea for Alcatraz/ABK, 15m for KWP would be 135m, which doesn't feel far off.
 
And we wonder why players don't show any loyalty.
I’m sure it’s because of me. Money has nothing to do with it.

I won’t shed a tear for any of the current team leaving. Worst season and a half I’ve ever witnessed. Lavia and KWP played well in the main, but everyone underperformed. The season isn’t over, but they’ve been working on their next moves for a while I guess.
 
Sorry, what I meant to say was “thank you for your blood, sweat and tears this season. I know you did your best and ran through walls for us”.

I know what you mean, but realistically we had a really young squad in there, and one that wouldn't have the experience to ride something out once it becomes toxic. Which it absolutely did. At least as a collective. I don't think they've necessarily done themselves proud, but I don't actually think the bulk of this is at the door of the players. The youngsters will have learned from the experience though, whether they take that on with us or at wherever they end up next year.

If I was a young man, and Southampton FC had been my place of work this year, I'd probably want the hell out too.

In fairness, the people who are mooted for big moves are the ones that actually tried. I have no complaints (from an effort standpoint) concerning any of those five.

Yeah you’re probably right. I’m just being bitter and angry.

Im calling my agent, I want to transfer to another fan base!
 
Be a shame if we lost Alcaraz as I genuinely felt he could have been a difference maker in the championship and would have done him some good too.

I think with Alcaraz/any of the Jan signings there is a high likelihood they had some clause about relegation due to our situation. Sulemana definitely would have I think due to the interest elsewhere for him.
 
Salisu obviously has a lot of ability, but has a mental lapse most games which will stop him being a top centre back. If he eliminates that with more experience then he will be very good, was never going to be here though as he appeared to want out relegation or not when he didn’t sign a new deal a season or so ago, presumably because of interest elsewhere
