We have finished ten & eight points ahead of them in the last two seasons. What is it they are doing so well at the moment that we need to emulate?

I'm not saying they haven't brought in (and sold on) some great players in the past but let's not make out they are infallible in the transfer market. Adams hasn't even kicked a ball for them yet it's somehow being held up as a Palace failure.

From what I've seen he doesn't look PL quality, of course he could turn out to be a world beater

I agree with what you are saying however for me they atleast seem to have an eye for a half decent player whereby we seem to let them slip by

Amazing how everyone wants us to be like Southampton or Swansea or Fulham or Brentford. Even Man united are now trying to copy Brentford’s formula for success. Unfortunately there is no magic formula as Man united will no doubt find when they find half the youngsters they have recruited cannot cut it.

Yeah, their transfers have been poor the last two seasons, particularly in attack. Ings is alright but can’t trust that injury record, so 20 million is awful, and they also signed some nobody from Monaco for 18 million who I don’t think ever scored a goal for them.

I think they’ll go places though and dare I say reclaim their position above us in the table if they back Hassenhuttl. Really good manager with a clear philosophy that’s got the best out of players who were previously underperforming (Redmond, Ward Prowse, Hoijberg in particular). And most importantly, unlike us, they should have money to spend without making big sales first.

There’s no ‘magic formula,’ but it’d be pure delusion to suggest than Saints aren’t more transfer savvy than us generally speaking, and don’t have a far more sophisticated, wide transfer network. Two seasons don’t define a club.

Decent value for an unproven player.

When did Southampton last win anything most of the time they are in the relegation fight so whatever they are doing its not fan friendly. We hear it all the time how other clubs do it better but the fact is they don’t none of them have won anything most are in the same position as us in that they are happy to stay up. The big clubs buy success the rest have maybe two seasons of their best players before they are sold on. We are doing the right thing growing the academy on that score we are behind but catching up.
