Can we take time to appreciate the players/managers Southampton has lost over seasons past yet still remain as a solid mid table club
No, because no one with a lick of sense aspires to be mediocre.
Just like Chapecoense

All the talent they sell end up being shite though
Bale the only exception

Pochettino?

why don't mid-table clubs keep the great players they develop and win some hardware? it's like they WANT to be forever mediocre.
this and the diving is why i keep dropping soccer. i truly want to like it but shit like this is so off-putting.

Wanyama

when a big club offer you a fee worth more than your annual revenue you don't say no

Players kick up a stink if they don't get to take up an opportunity to sit on a bench in front of 40k+ people
>>76060144
Not hard to be shit when you go to Liverpool tbqh
Nice but what trophy did they win?

or you say no a few times and before you know it you're the big club
these mid-table teams are just ATMs for the ownerships, aren't they?

no academy in the world could consistently produce the talent to compete with top clubs. money is worth far more than an individual star player.

The players would start forcing a move at every chance they got if a big team came up asking for them.
think >we could buy koeman back?
