I would like to know what these alleged promises are that were broken. I've seen mentioned the thing about a big bonus not being paid for a highest points finish. I just wonder what else? Morgan's comments seem to point to him wanting to go, as do Lovren's. Nothing really positive has come out from other players. Wanyama said a bit and SKD, rolled out his Club Captain spiel. An 8th place finish, a proven new manager and a huge transfer kitty, that they have been told is being reinvested back in to the team. What else could they want?
Not as disappointed in Morgan as I am in Lovren. Morgan has been here quite a while and contributed to our success...he may just feel he needs a move at this point in his career. The problem is that it is all happening at the same time. I hope he does decide to stay though...perhaps Les reed needs to get the violins out and say how much we need him. A few fans crying with their noses pressed against the window might tip it our way.
@Koeman1963: It was nice to meet the players this morning! Everybody came back in a very good condition.
So he has all that time off and decides to get married on the first day of training. Did he meet her last week or something?
My understanding is the thought was pre season would start 7th not 1st but still yes it could have been done in various weeks he had off. Everyone has vague idea when club wants them back
Quite funny that is Half of our matchday squad.., Shows how lacking if we've got to choose out of those in training.

Billy Sharp on Twitter: "Enjoyable 1st day back at training with Southampton,new training ground is class and nice to meet the new staff too"
Looking a bit thin on the ground, lets hope the players have gone don't leave to much of a gap in terms of the togetherness of the group. Hopefully with a few more returning and a few signings will boost the group. No more osvaldos please etc..
Nice to see happy faces...and a few familiar ones Surely SKD won't play except in dire emergency...at his age, he's a decent 3/4th keeper (a player you need, but never use hopefully).
He was. Posted photos on his Instagram and in one of the videos posted by the club's you can hear a coach shouting his name.
