Saints Have To Move On
After losing out to Spurs for Toby Alderweireld Saints have to over fast and sign a replacement and then get over it.
It is something Saints supporters wont want to hear, but we are always going to lose out to the likes of Tottenham Hotspur when it comes to signing players, but because we have to lump it does not mean we have to like it.
That being the case it is no use crying over spilt ilk, we have to try and influence the things that we can change and work round the act that in today's modern game money talks and players are always going to look more at glamour and cash than opportunity.
The Southampton way remains unaltered, a year ago we though that the world had ended when Dejan Lovren followed his head to Liverpool, yet we prospered and there is no reason why we should not continue to do so even after losing Toby Alderweireld.
In truth although losing him was a blow, we should not overestimate his contribution too much, he only played around 2/3's of the games he could have and in those games he went off injured on several occasions, a loss yes ! a terminal blow no!
So now we have to move on and make those key signings that will ensure that the squad Is stronger than last season and can make it better than last.
Moving on for supporters is about understanding that progress is steady an measured rather than based on one event, it is all about what we do next now.
Next season can be great, it is what it is, deal with it and move on, that I the Southampton way, whilst the Spurs way is pay big money for players from elsewhere and see their career stagnate.
