If there’s one thing Southampton are becoming well known for in their recent Premier League stalwarts era then it’s well and truly defying the odds.

A club that goes through managers in a manner that would make Chelsea blush and has sold more players than Manchester City have bought and yet somehow has become a bastion of consistency and reliability whereby top ten finishes aren’t so much achieved as almost guaranteed.

This season has been another odds defying endeavour with relegation not even a consideration and a cup final appearance thrown in to boot.

Part of Southampton’s success has been down to the performances of captain Virgil van Dijk who was something of a colussus until injury ended his season.

Manager Claude Puel – who’s the subject of speculation himself – has insisted the former Celtic defender is going nowhere despite interest from the likes of Manchester City and perennial Saints raiders Liverpool.

Puel noted: “He [Van Dijk] has a long contract and of course the directors will want to keep him.”

Here’s how Southampton fans have been reacting to the manager’s comments.
