From Ben Davies bbc journalist.

@SiClancy I know of one Premier League club that have a strong interest in Clyne
8:22pm - 28 Jul 14

So could that be number 8? This is a gift that keeps on giving.
Liverpool are looking for a RB and Ronald Koeman tweeted this, with a shocking discovery when the hedge was magnified

Imagine if Levy did this to our club.
The riots in 2011 would seem like a peaceful protest.

The saints fans should track the bitch down; she's asset stripping.

Poochie will get the blame for this move as he was the first one to leave and thus opening the flood gates

It's crazy how much that squad has changed, let alone the First XI.

They sound like they have some good options lined up including Marcos Rojo, Virgil van Dijk, Ron Vlaar, Serge Gnabry, Carl Jenkinson, Jordy Clasie and Fraser Forster. They obviously have some good talent in JWP, Wanyama, Tadic. Clyne and could have a decent replacement for Lambert in Pelle. I know they are getting a lot of shit for losing a bunch of players, but in the grand scheme of things, they have done a fantastic job in getting the most money they could reasonably get from those players.

I think they will bring in van Dijk, Forster, Clasie, Jenkinson and probably Marcos Rojo before it's all said and done. Should they do that, they will at least give themselves a solid group to build upon. But, given they have a new manager and these players will need to hit the ground running, it's going to likely be a really tumultuous start to the season for them. But if they can weather the storm and end up finding some form before January, they could easily stay up.

But how much are those players going to cost? Everyone knows Southampton are desperate for players and have money, that's going to bump up the transfer fees being demanded.

Honestly, despite all their money they will still be a fraction of what they just brought in.

He said that no one else would be sold after Lambert yet they have had an exodus.

I don't think they will roll over now. Transfer requests might make their stance a little harder to hold though

Their chairman has said Schneiderlin and Rodriguez WON'T be sold

I think this is what he said

"We have decided to keep Schneiderlin and Rodriguez, they are staying and will be with us at the start of the season."

The transfer window closes after the start of season so he could be telling the truth and we still end up with both players.

Or he'll just do a Levy and say we didnt plan to sell them but then got an offer that was too good to turn down and in the best interests of the club. Therefore Krueger looks like he cares or at least has an idea of whats going on.

I think this guy could be a really good alternative to Schneiderlin if Southampton start playing hard ball. Really impressed with him for Netherlands in the world cup.
