"Depay is one of Netherlands biggest young talents and after impressing at the World Cup last summer, the winger was linked with a number of clubs before eventually deciding to sign a new deal with PSV.

 

Speaking to the Metro, Erwin Koeman revealed Southampton made a move for the 20-year-old, but were left disappointed when he decided to stay in Netherlands.

 

Koeman said, “We informed our interest to his agent.”

 

“With his style he would fit well in England. Memphis is fast, focused and physically strong. Southampton would have been an excellent springboard for him to the very top of the Premier League. Here he would have had time to get used to the level and would have had two Dutch coaches who have great confidence in him, but he chose to stay at PSV.

 

“A big shame for us, but also for him. ”

 

*sigh*

Even Erwin sees us as a feeder club here.

Welcome to Football. That's all we are, as harsh as that is to accept. The reality is that our top players will always move on for better. If we manage to secure a potential top player, it will always be with a view to developing him and if he does well - he will springboard to a bigger club.

 

Not really negative, more just realism. Unless we have a zillionaire backer, this is how it will stay. Same for Swansea, Newcastle, Everton, WHU and all the other sides outside of the elite. In theory, we'd all be used as a stepping stone for most players if they do well.
