Hmm, with Clyne seemingly dipper bound, and Schneiderlin's future up in the air, do you expect them to fall short of last season? Interesting and important summer for them coming up.
Clyne and Alderweireld will be really big losses from their rock solid defence. Plus Forster will be out for basically the whole of next season.
If Schneiderlin leaves too, that'll be hard to recover from.
That's four of their best players they'll be without next season, I can see them dropping to the lower half of the table.
Noticed you refrained from naming them as relegation fodder ;-)
I made that mistake last season.
Lol, I don't think Southampton will be in the relegation battle, but the chances of them finishing as high up the table are slim.
The biggest difference with last summer is Southampton aren't getting £20-30 million for each player who's departing.
Due to injuries and loans, they have to replace Forster, Clyne and Alderweireld next season and have only received £12.5 million in transfer fees.
Haha, was going to say lets wager again but, changed mind. Still owe you from last season ;)@bluesoup any predictions? ;o)
