Over the years Southampton have been supplying young players to top premiership clubs.Last season we thought sales of their players was going to cause them problems and possibly relegate
them. In fact, they eventually finished finished above Liverpool in the league.
These are the players bought in recent years.
1. Reckie Lambert.£4m Some people believed he was going to be Liverpool Liverpool's Teddy Sheringham, unfortunately it never worked out and he moved on.
2.Nathaniel Clyne £12.5m. Right back, he has been great and he's getting better and better. I personally think he's going to be with Liverpool for the foreseeable future.
3.Dejan Lovren £20m. He scored the only goal at Anfield Liverpool vs Southampton and Brendan
Rodgers was hooked: he thought he was the missing jigsaw in Liverpool's defense. His first year
was full of ups and downs and Liverpool's fans wanted him sold even at a loss. However, since
Klopp came he have more confidence. He even scored his first goal of the season at Stamford
Bridge in Friday night Football. Even if the supporters are not comfortable with him Klopp have some
faith in him. I do not think Klopp is going tom sell him and most likely to get extended contract.
4.Adam Lallana £25m. His price tag caused him some problems in the first year,since Klopp came
he has been excellent. Klopp himself admitted that he knew him when he was at Southampton, and
he wanted to buy him when he was the manager of Borussia Dortmund. Lallane is most likely
to get a new contract.
5. Sadio Mane £34 . Best buy of the current season. Money well spent.
Liverpool spent in total £95.5m on players from Southampton, and this amount can buy their
current squad seven times over
