Bang away, I think you are getting caught up on certain terms. As for the tension between the clubs, I think there is enough activity and lack of activity between the clubs that points to the fact that regardless of mutual respect, there is some tension. Poch comes to us at a critical time for their club, they got Koeman and all was well, but losing Poch at that time was tough. Then we are linked with Lovren, Rodriguez, and Schniederlin. Meanwhile Southhampton let's 1/2 their squad leave, but draws the line on Schneiderlin and essentially holds him prisoner for two windows. Then there is the Toby situation from last summer as described earlier. I just don't think we are their preferred club to do business with at the current time (and I get business is business). I'm not even getting into the Bale situation and any bitterness they may have going back that far, or the fact that our chairman is likely the worst to deal with in the league. I'm not claiming we did anything to them, or that any animosity from them is deserved, but I do think our relationship is not what I would term friendly.

Regarding Bale at the time they took the money from us dropping the sell on profit, Bale was seen as a flop.
Walnut, that other Southampton startlet, who Woolwich stole( and who then stole Chambers), was seen to be the next superstar. How comes Southampton didn't take money from Woolwich and still have the sell on clause?
I really can't see how Southampton can be upset with us about that. They thought Walnut would make them money and Bale wouldn't.
We didn't knock on their door like some loan shark asking them if they wanted money.

He was advised not to go, or he would make his injuries worse.
Poch directly said, don't go.
He went anyway.
He came back injured.

From what we have seen his bond with poch before this was as strong as any other in the squad and the mindset that made him do this seems to be the type of player we want (passionate) I guess he just forgot poch is Godlike and his word is final but I think it will be interesting next time something like this happens with another player

He said no such thing! The complete opposite in fact!

Poch was actually happy for him to play. (It is the clubs responsibility to release a player for international duty, without such sanction a player can't play for his national side, it has always been this way).

POCH: “If you see it, you will see that it was a very, very bad tackle,” Pochettino said. “It was to the same ankle that has kept him out this season. He was lucky and we were lucky that it’s not a big issue. Maybe for Qarabag or Chelsea, he will be available.

“We feel sorry for Nabil because he was very close to being able to compete in the week that we played Woolwich before the international break. We agreed that it would be a good opportunity for him to compete again if he went away with his national team. This is one step back for him. It is difficult for him to be available for Sunday.”

Well, you just responded...

The rest of your post really does nothing to support the point that you were trying to make.

Yeah I responded u get an extra star....

From what u chose to caption it appears I think we want players who choose country over club, this was not my intention.

What I added was that this refers to the passion and belief we want our players to portray - let's not forget our managers is famed for promoting players who make their England debuts, let's not think it's any different with the players who are not English he will be instilling the same belief/mindset in every member of the squad that they can make it at the very top levels of the sport if they push themselves that extra 10%
 
SAINTS AGREE BOUFAL FEE

Sky sources understand Southampton have agreed to pay a club-record fee of £21m to sign Lille attacker Sofiane Boufal.

Should the deal go through, Southampton would become the tenth Premier League club to break their transfer record this summer.

The 22-year-old scored 11 goals in Ligue 1 last season.

Seriously what is the point in zaha? We will just be going round in circles , maybe even backwards from Townsend , We should be kicking on with a big name player and not the sort that are going to be here a few seasons and move on ( Dempsey, Pienner , etc )
 
So underwhelmed by this transfer window so far. Don't get me wrong Janssen and Wayama are very good signings but they are not "big" signings. I expected atleast one VDV type big player signing now were in the CL but it's looking likely once again levy is leaving us short. We go into the CL with the most in experienced young squad I have ever known. It's all great having this up and coming excellent young team but there's got to be a balance. We need a big signing. Even Southampton are buying big ffs!!!
