Aren't Southampton the Luton of the premier league though?

They are bottom quartile in salaries and transfers, so the bottom quartile is their mini league. If he can squeeze more out of his relatively inexpensive players then they live to fight relegation for another season.

When they are relegated, with the exception of Ward Prowse how many clubs will be raiding their squad? If i were those players I'd roll up my sleeves and start digging in because the land of milk and honey soon disappears
