Have to agree with Beef. No room for sentimenrt at the top of the PL. Rickie will always be a Saints legend lets keep it that way.
Seems to me that this is a good summer for us to do business - our stock has never been higher. I think Clyne, Schneiderlin, Mayuka, Osvaldo and Ramirez will leave but should bring in a combined £60m+.
If we could bring in something like Ings/Guidetti, Jenkinson/Trippier and Federici/Stekelenburg as a starting point.
Then there is room for a top level striker and attacking midfielder, with the rest of the team well set up to incorporate this I think. e.g with Jovetic, Classie (as MS replacement) and someone like Wijnaldum (+ keep Toby and Elia/Djuricic) we'd look quite a bit stronger than this year.
Is it time to second guess the black box and do my favourite thing and make a player shopping list??
Vilhena is pretty much nailed on isn't he.Keeper

Don't keep Elia, play Djuricic more to see if he is up to it.
Bring Sims into the first team squad and get another wide player.

Are the others just who you'd like or is there some sustinence to it ?Yep.
Been looking at Byram for over a year. We even made contact with leeds at the start of this season, but didn't put in a bid.Are the others just who you'd like or is there some sustinence to it ?
Mayuka will get us a quid.

Lambert hasn't hardly played in a year. His age is also against him, why would you want him back? We need to move on.
Aleady gone for a small fee last summer.Will we get any money for Billy Sharp? Or will he go for free..
