Nordic Saint Posted 19 July, 2023 Share Posted 19 July, 2023 The transfers of Romeu to Barcelona and Fonte to Braga highlight the increasing number of players who've gone on to play in the Champions League after leaving Saints. Fonte has already for Lille and Romeu did for Chelsea, but both are likely to play in it again this season for their new clubs. These spring to mind: Forster for Spurs Hojbjerg for Spurs Wanyama for Spurs Alderweireld for Spurs Lallana for Liverpool Clyne for Liverpool Lovren for Liverpool Mane for Liverpool van Dijk for Liverpool Shaw for Man United Schneiderlin for Man United Chambers for Arsenal Fonte for Lille Stekelenburg for Ajax Tadic for Ajax How many others are there who've played in the Champions League after leaving St Mary's?

Plaque will need to include that of the 9 only three were starters and none of the nine scored. That is a typical Saints achievement, bloated squad, none of whom could score in the proverbial brothel. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Sport Republic have any ambition they'll erect a statue of Les Reed outside of St Marys to provide a bench mark reminder for their lofty ambitions. So with Ted Bates Itchen and Les Chapel, you could have Adam Blackmore before and after weight loss Kingsland and Northam for inspiration. Get it done Dragan! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
