£7 Million really doesn't seem like that much anymore! dead cert for the England squad.

Dead cert? Doubt it. Agree good but from Southampton but can't see him going to the World Cup.

15 goals this season. Second highest English goalscorer in the Premier League. I think he'll be going to Brazil.

Also, Lallana looks to be taking over from Wilshire's role in the England team. Not that Wilshire ever had a role as he is consistently injured.

Amazing that we beat Southampton to League One title and how our paths have diverged from then. Premiership for them and some great team building, including goal scorers.
Apart from a few decent/good players many of our signings have been so disappointing.

Rodriguez has done well this season but until Pochettino arrived he didn't really have a role - partly because he was signed by Cortese, not Adkins. But most significant in Southampton's progress has been their academy - Lallana, Shaw, Chambers, Ward-Prowse and more on the way. Solly March and Lewis Dunk come up a bit short by comparison, and it may be a while before Lancing starts producing anything comparable. Their biggest signings - Osvaldo, Gaston Ramirez, Wanyama - have been less significant this season than Lovren and the earlier arrivals such as Cork, Lambert and Schneiderlin.
