It's both the good news and bad news of our model. Our pitch is that we will give players like Lavia the chance to shine on the biggest domestic stage. The obvious consequence of giving players like Lavia the chance to shine on the biggest domestic stage is that they will be highly sought after.
That's okay, though. "A year ago, Romeo Lavia was in the reserves, and now he's making 150k p/w, playing in Europe and a full Belgian international...want to be the next Romeo Lavia?" is a hell of a pitch to other players in his position. Would obviously help if we survived relegation, however.

Definitely. But "do you want to try to show that you're the next Romeo Lavia...in the Championship?" isn't quite the same draw.
Indeed. I'm sure our marketing team will come up with some legendary framing though...maybe...
England midfielder James Ward-Prowse, 28, will definitely leave Southampton this summer if the Saints get relegated, with Tottenham keen to sign him. (Football Insider)
Arsenal are among the clubs interested in Southampton's Belgian midfielder Romeo Lavia, 19. (Fabrizio Romano)
At least I expect there may be more than one club interested in both, maybe we can milk a decent fee for both.
Tbh I thought this would be Prowse’s last season even if we stayed up.

13 years ago today we won the JPT. Great times!

I haven't looked very hard, but I can't see any information about the seriousness (or otherwise) of Che's injury, that prevented him playing for Scotland. Has anyone else got any details? In short, when will Che be able to play for Saints?
[Edit] Just to show the power of Internet searches, I Googled 'Che Adams Injury' and found the following, on Sky Sports website
Che Adams: Southampton striker to miss Premier League game against Leeds, Ralph Hasenhuttl confirms
At least Sky are up to speed with these things...

Interview with Schneiderlin. The basic message is that things went downhill after leaving Saints and that every club says they are a family but thats its bullshit, Saints were the only club that were genuinely like a family.
He regrets leaving United after just 18 months. Also he says he left Everton because of their fans haha.
So many players go on to do f*ck all after leaving us, it is a shame others never seem to take note. Although I suppose for every failing Schneiderlin or Chambers there is a Van Dijk or Mane.

I get your point but ultimately I doubt he regrets leaving Saints. He will have earnt far more at Utd and Everton than with us, and he gave it a go at bigger clubs. If he (or anyone) had stayed with us instead of moving on, the “what if” would be far worse than if you try and it doesn’t go well imo, like most things in life better to try and fail than not try at all or whatever the phrase is.
I am still surprised even now that he was unable to make the step up. Genuinely the best central midfielder I’ve seen play for us in his prime. He literally had it all. Amazing touch, vision, positioning & tackling.
Absolutely dominated games for us in the PL. Then vanished without a trace. Very weird
