    Morgan came here as a mere stripling...I'm sure he came here to learn. He hasn't exactly rushed to leave us until recently, when it became obvious that he was sought after. Can't call him a user.

    Yeah. I remember he signed for us over a certain Premier League team, and he was pretty upfront that he went to Saints only because he thought playing here was better for his development.

    I'm sorry, the only way someone uses a club as a stepping stone is to be at a club for a season or two at the most, then jump ship at the first opportunity. Morgan has been here for 6 years and didn't go at the first opportunity. OK, the club made sure he couldn't but he knuckled down ans has been excellent this season. Lovren used the club as a stepping stone and I refuse to tar Morgan and that **** with the same brush.

    And that's a compliment. Clyne said the same.

    Which makes Charlie Austin a pretty prolific stepping-stoner.

    Well not really, he's a PL striker - he can't play in the Championship again.

    He was an unknown when he went to Swindon, was there for a couple of years before moving on. Then left Burnley when a better option came along, and now QPR (albeit due to other factors aswell). If he is as prolific at Saints as he has been at other teams I am pretty sure he will want to go in 2/3 seasons if a top 4 club came calling.

    It is not a bad thing, it is just football.

    We get players because they think we are a step up from where they are...can't complain if they do the same to us as long as they honour their contracts if we want them to. They aren't all like Lovren...now he used us as a stepping stone.

    Liverpool bid for Clyne rejected according to Paul Joyce (Express), expecting an improved bid.

    Shirt off their backs time. I don't mind them buying a player from us. As long as we make them paupers for the privilege of doing so.

    They don't need a RB. They've got a perfectly good CM who plays there.

    Well, if Liverpool reach our valuation for the player, with only a year left on his contract, you'd think we'd sell. Bit of a shame if true, as Clyne sounded positive about Southampton in his latest interview.

    If Clyne had an ambition to win trophies, he should go to MU, MC or CFC. Why would he bother going to Liverpool. They are has beens, that have been left behind, by the top 3

    Oh **** off. Anyone but Liverpool, please! They aren't even a step up - we could easily finish above them next season

    I said on the other page, the person that I usually talk to knows nothing. I haven't chatted to the guy that works at Saints since.
