Players you regret letting go of in recent years

Yes, I remember. Could have been a turning point if things went differently.

 

We have got through a few lads

granero very good shout as is rout ledge , him and Adel were brilliant

Has to be about the structure and management because the last time we had a natural team was under Warnock

 

I'm still feeling a bit down we let Bowles go ...........

 

Look what happened to Swansea
Us and Norwich complete failures

 

I think Southampton FC ought to be congratulated for their efforts in building a solid base of players through their academy.
They had half their team sold from under them and they have still triumphed ........... well done to them.

 

There was an agreed fee of only £1 million to buy in that loan agreement. An absolute steal ruined by Flabio and Bernie.

 

Here's another Conrad quote;

"They talk of a man betraying his country, his friends, his sweetheart. There must be a moral bond first. All a man can betray is his conscience."

Plenty to ponder there.

Actually I just wish we had managers who could have got something like the best out of Granero, Mbia, Boswinga, Cisse, C. Samba, Samba D, Cesar etc etc.

 

Still amazes me that Nelson is admired for leaving us when we needed him.

Townsend I miss
Taiwo I miss.
Diakite I miss
Tarrabt I miss
Vargas I miss

 

Routledge for sure

 

Saints fans were desperate to get rid of him when he came to us. Weird how players can reinvent themselves.

 

The only one of these that I've regreted for footballing reasons is Helguson. We badly needed him when we let him go to Cardiff.

Mackie & Gorkss for sentimental reasons.

Taiwo being replaced by the nondescript Brazilian from manure was a disaster & a case could be made for Routledge. The only other one in my book is Nelsen, but his move was beyond our control.

 

But unfortunately not in the case of SWP.
