Doesn't make it any less painful.
Depends if/how the proceeds will be spent.
A club either has ambition or it doesn't...

The contract would have ensured you got a high price for him. Gave Southampton a strong position. Clubs have been circling him for a good while now and I think he came close to signing for Arsenal a couple of times as well. I hear he shows more promise than Walcott did at his age, one of Englands best young players, he wasn't going to stay below Premier League for long.
Still you should take great pride in the amount of young players you have developed.
