Scion Turbocharged November 9, 2014 Author Share November 9, 2014 i think few can predict Southampton can do so well in the league (at least for now) despite selling many of their best players in the summer No one forced St Mary's club to sell best players, such as Adam Lallana, Rickie Lambert and Dejan Lovren to Liverpool, says Brendan RodgersBrendan Rodgers says he has no sympathy for Southampton, claiming they gave up their ambition to be a Champions League club and decided to cash in on their players.Five players have left St Mary's this summer, with Rodgers signing three for Liverpool in Adam Lallana (for £25 million), Dejan Lovren (£20m) and Rickie Lambert (£4m)."They have a choice as a club," Rodgers said of Liverpool's opponents on Sunday at Anfield. "They don't have to sell. You have a choice. Maybe Southampton's objectives have changed. They were looking to be a Champions League club, I believe. They obviously wanted to change. I suppose Liverpool have taken three players but Arsenal have taken a player [defender Calum Chambers for £16m], Manchester United have taken a player [England international Luke Shaw for £27m]. There might be one or two others who leave. It's just the way it works."We were after a certain type of player that fits the profile and the mould of the way we play. They played in a similar mould to us, so the players understand the pressing, the intensity and the possession so, I don't have sympathy, no."Don't get me wrong, Southampton is a great club. But so was Swansea [Rodgers' old club]. Swansea have produced a young player in Ben Davies and he's now gone to Tottenham. It's the nature of it. The players will want to compete at the highest level they possibly can."Luke Shaw was probably disappointed and sad to leave Southampton but he's gone to what he would deem to be a bigger club."The guys have come here because of the status of Liverpool and Champions League football. And it's hard to deny players that and that will always be the case; young talents coming through at clubs. The clubs will do the very best they can.

Spring Moderator November 9, 2014 Share November 9, 2014 i think few can predict Southampton can do so well in the league (at least for now) despite selling many of their best players in the summer I also predicted at the start of the season that Southampton would struggle due to the loss of so many players and their manager but what do I know? 2nd in the table!!! Wow just wow, well done and goes to show that it's not always about buying star players but a good academy counts as well, congrats!! ↡ Advertisement 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
