Still don't see why people think Southampton are in a bad situation. Yeah they've lost some key players, but that does means that they've raked in nearly £100M in transfer fees, aswell as still having some quality youngish players from last season like Ramirez, Rodriquez, Clyne & Schneiderlin (for now). If they reinvest all transfer revenues then they'd probably be the biggest spenders of any prem club this season. This isn't the end of Southampton, imo it's more likely the start of something better.
The way some people have overreacted you'd think they were talking about Blackpool...
