Watford 0-0 Saints Post Match

[Saint IQ]

I really don't get why the club gets blamed for these players leaving, Morgan wanted to leave, Lallana wanted to leave, Lovren wanted to leave, Clyne wanted to leave, Toby wanted to go to spuds.

 

etc etc. Not much they can do but get the best amount for them, they can't force them to sign new contracts and we can't offer players £100k a week.

 

Get the best price for the players, sign the best replacements we can, get used to it, that's modern football. The ONLY way we'll break into the top 4 is if we splurge like Chelsea and Man City did, which isn't happening and Fair play rules means that it's even more difficult.

 

Unless they being in wage and spending caps, this is the Premier League, 3-4 clubs with all the money that kick down anyone that dares to challenge them.

 

Totally agree with you apart from it's 5 clubs with the money, 3 from being huge clubs and 2 from billionaire owners then there's spurs who aren't spending because of a new stadium. The only hope is that every season 1 or 2 of those 5 clubs **** up and an Everton, Southampton, Stoke, Newcastle, Swansea or my tip this year Crystal Palace spend over half the year mixing it with the big 5 like we did last season and maybe just maybe (but almost definately not) going the whole way and sneaking into the top 4. It's the only thing that'll make it interesting for fans of a team outside the big 6 bar a good old relegation battle for the lesser teams.

Can't disagree with a word of that.

Utterly poor performance.

 

I think staying up will be the aim this year
