    I think the whole Europa League winner-qualifies-for-Champs League thing is excellent news for English teams in particular. The likes of Liverpool, Spurs, Everton and ourselves face a massively difficult task of finishing in the top 4, but winning this provides a more realistic route. It should also makes the competition much more competitive/respectable. I only wish they would offer a CL place to both finalists.

    To make it more respectable they still need to stop the 3rd place CL teams dropping into it. They should be 2 seperate competitions completely and I think that devalues it massively.

    Agreed. Picking up the "win a cup" theme - with which I agree as it happens - maybe this is the cup we should be going for!

    She never sang a truer word. A great musical and deeply philosophical one as well but for me it's strength was making the Americans face up to racism.

    Yes but you can't compare a RB fee and a 15+ goal/season (throughout his career) striker fee IMO...

    Thing is, 15m and even 85K/week is not unreasonable these days when you look at what is going on, but it's not The Southampton Way.
    I would love to see Austin here, above perhaps any other player, and it must be really tempting for the board to go after him - but it goes against everything Les and Ron are saying.

    We spot talent, we develop talent, we buy talent - but not established talent that comes with the prices attached.
    We are proud of our history of doing this and continue to do it every year.
    This is our brand, and the big clubs are buying into it - literally.

    I know it's disappointing to lose Morgan, and to not be in the mix for Austin, but I'm starting to think that it's a reflection of the choice we have mada about what we want to be as a club.

    Yes. I hope the previous poster wasn't convinced by the lack of belief.

    I think that 85k is a bit O/T, he would be getting that, while the ones doing all of the donkey work for him would probably be earning a lot less?

    Lee Barnard's trial at Crawley after leaving Southend has gone well, and he's signed a one-year deal. All the best to Lee.

    Is Afellay as good as he used to be?

    Not really, injuries have slowed him down as well. He could still be a decent signing tho.

    23 Years Old as well. Think we've seen from Fonte/Yoshida that Koeman can continue to improve players past the point that we thought could be possible.

    Going from Virgil to Caulker? Seriously? If we lost Yoshida then I might say buy him to develop and stand in but really?!
