Southampton striker Jay Rodriguez is confident they can handle any new departures this month.

Jose Fonte is the latest player to be linked with a move away from St. Mary's but Rodriguez is confident the club will continue to progress, despite having to endure regular departures.

"Football players come and go and move on but, as long as you stick to the philosophy of the club, I don't think you can go wrong.

"The club is going forward each year," he insisted to the Telegraph.
