Quotes from Oriol Romeu:

“It has been an amazing season, I have enjoyed it a lot.

“I’ve felt everyone’s support and need to thank my teammates for valuing the work I have done since I came here. I couldn’t be any happier.

“Also the fans as well because their support gives you another strength to carry on and fight for every single ball. I need to say thank you to the fans because without them sometimes it would be much harder.

“Playing at Wembley and St Mary’s has been amazing this season.

“It was an unreal atmosphere at Wembley and we will never forget that day. We couldn’t get the title but we took many things from that day – it was amazing.

“Also Longy’s goal at Anfield. That was one my happiest moments as a footballer – seeing him put the ball in the back of the net and then all the fans and players celebrating getting to Wembley. It was amazing.”

Here's a Twitter moment to summarise the evening:

"He is not involved with the team because psychologically he is not 100%," said the Saints boss. "When I was talking with him, the boy said that he is not available to play because he wants to leave. "I need to work with a player that works at 100% to defend Southampton. "This is the decision. I had to say: 'OK, if you don't want to be involved because you don't feel OK, you have to train alone until this period of time. "We need the player, but 100% - this is the question. "I hope that Virgil can review his feelings, because you know that today players are big business - not just the player but behind him there is a lot of interest. "I want to help the squad, I want to help Virgil but we need a player, I repeat, involved in every training session, involved not just with the body but with the mind on th...
