Great signing.
Just need to flog Chiriches and Kaboul then the defence is sorted. Wouldn't turn down £5m+ for Fazio either.

Wimmer will be delighted. Not as delighted as Fazio!
Some of the Saints Web lot saying they hope he does his hamstring on the first day of the season. Stay classy.
And apparently our setup (one of the most highly regarded training centres in the country - if not Europe) isn't as good at theirs.

Think his chant should be the Toure one:
To-by, to-by, to-by, to-by, to-by, al-der-wei-reld
To-by, to-by, to-by, to-by, to-by, al-der-wei-reld

I am ashamed to say that I am taking some enjoyment from seeing it.
There's so much "the only reason he's going there is £££, they're welcome to him if that's the case....was carried by [ ] anyway"
It's classic first stages of denial. Let's be objective for a moment, outside the money factor:
- we have consistently finished above them for f*ck knows how long
- we have better players
- our coaches are probably equivalent, though I'd say Koeman did a better job than Poch last year
- we have a better stadium and will be (we hope) moving to an even better one in due course
- he has a bunch of Belgian team mates here
- we are more established, and arguably have more potential
- we are based on London, and the merits that come with that
But yeah, it's all about money
Really chuffed with this signing, really good buy

I think the worst thing of all of this really is the fact it is Spurs. He's a top, top class defender; at least he was with us last year, and could have done much better than Spurs. I really don't understand their appeal other than £££. Their set-up is pretty poor in comparison to Saints and the whole club just feels a bit superficial and "tin-pot". This is obviously reactionary, but a player of his quality last season should be playing CL, not Europa. It's a massive loss. I don't blame the board at all, unlike some knee-jerk reactions; I think if you read between the lines of what RK said in his press conferences it is obvious that AM simply did not want to deal with Saints (presumably because of the contract and low fee - cheaper to take legal action and pay compensation). I'm certain Toby wanted to stay at Saints at the end of the season but AM just wanted to flog him to the highest bidder (minus Saints). If people have to blame someone - blame AM. You really think the board were sitting on their thumbs waiting for Atletico to accept the 6.8m or however much the original loan contract specified? It seems to me that they pulled all the stops to get TA and AM were the ones to halt it. So be it. That's football politics. As a club, we will move forward and pursue other targets which we undoubtedly already are in talks with / are monitoring / going to talk to. The lack of faith on here is unbelievable with some.
Haha seriously? This guy is a complete moron. We have had some very highly respected figures in world football talk about how impressive our set up is. Our training facility is up there with the best in the world, our academy is producing high quality players who are learning the way that we play, we are in an excellent financial position and we will have a new stadium in not too long. What about that is tin pot? Just screams of pure sour grapes to be honest, Southampton will always be just a "nice" club on the south coast. They don't have any real pull for a top class player and have no real history to back up any talk of them being a massive club.

Jack on Saintsweb said "Can't they come up with something of their own" ? Do they mean like Harry Kane, Bentaleb, Mason etc. ?
