Personally who cares about Spurs, We are Southampton and we do things are way differently. Way to many negative people on this forum I am quite new here although I am 30 years old and have supported Saints through and through since I was 8 years old.
They are a bigger club than us deal with it what I mean by this they can afford higher wages and are not afraid to take a punt on ridiculous transfer fees. However if we get our heads down and continue with Koemans philosophy and way of doing things then we will continue to progress. I like our style of doing things sure we sell players for great money might I add but lets be brutally honest here why keep a player who is a) unhappy b) is only in it for the money.
Clear out the deadwood and get some players in sure they may be cheaper and unknowns but will obviously have potential of course once in a while we may sign a few bad apples but think of how far as a club we have come over the last couple of years.
All these people going on about champions league and top 4 need a reality check. The only way we are going to do that is if we spunk ridiculous amounts of money. Or take the sensible approach and gradually sell the odd gem and strengthen further in multiple areas on the cheap.
Jordy Clasie is a massive coup for us, Being in Europe is awesome aswell and having a team full of players who actually want to be here and play for our club and follow the clubs vision that is what it's all about.
I frankly couldn't care about Spurs they beat us to signing Toby who wasn't ours in the first place..... And currently have a manager who doesn't have a plan B.
I am anticipating the future, brand new academy, new youth players coming through the future is bright the future is red and white. If we continue to lose the odd gem and milk clubs for millions so be it I wont lose any sleep over it....
