The 2015–16 Southampton F.C. season is the club's 17th season in the Premier League and their 39th in the top division of English football.[1][2] It is also the club's first season in a European competition since 2003–04.[3] As of 1 May 2016, Southampton are seventh in the Premier League having won 16, drawn nine and lost 11 of their 36 matches played.[4] The club were also knocked out of the third round of the FA Cup, the fifth round of the League Cup and the qualifying play-off round of the UEFA Europa League.[5][6][7]

Following the end of the 2014–15 campaign, Southampton released seven players.[8][9] The club also sold right-back Nathaniel Clyne to Liverpool,[10] midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin to Manchester United[11] and striker Emmanuel Mayuka to FC Metz.[12] Three players were sent out on season-long loans – Sam Gallagher to Milton Keynes,[13] Jack Stephens to Middlesbrough[14] and Jordan Turnbull to Swindon Town[15] – while Jason McCarthy and Lloyd Isgrove were sent out on loans until January.[16][17]

In the summer transfer window, the Saints made seven full signings – striker Juanmi from Málaga,[18] right-backs Cédric Soares and Cuco Martina from Sporting CP and FC Twente respectively,[19][20] midfielder Jordy Clasie from Feyenoord,[21] defensive midfielder Oriol Romeu from Chelsea,[22] goalkeeper Harry Lewis from Shrewsbury Town,[23] and centre-back Virgil van Dijk from Celtic.[12] The club also brought in goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg and centre-back Steven Caulker on season-long loans.[24][25]

In January 2016, the club signed striker Charlie Austin from Queens Park Rangers.[26] Steven Caulker's loan agreement was cut short to allow him to move to Liverpool,[27] while both Sam Gallagher and Jack Stephens returned early.[28] Sam McQueen was loaned out to Southend United,[29] Gastón Ramírez to Middlesbrough[30] Ryan Seager to Crewe Alexandra[31] and Jack Stephens to Coventry City,[32] while Lloyd Isgrove's loan spell at Barnsley was extended until the end of the season.[33] Young goalkeeper Harry Isted was released by the club.[34]

Two weeks later Southampton travelled to face West Bromwich Albion, which ended in another goalless draw.[47] The club next faced Manchester United at St Mary's Stadium on 20 September, losing 3–2 to drop to 16th in the league.[48] Pellè opened the scoring early on, before Anthony Martial equalised for the visitors shortly before half-time.[48] A second goal from Pellè was not enough for the Saints to beat United, who scored two more through a Martial second and a Juan Mata winner.[48] The club picked up their second win of the season against Swansea City on 26 September, winning 3–1 with goals from Virgil van Dijk (his first for the club), Tadić and Sadio Mané.[49]

Notes:
  1. ↑ Since the winners of 2015–16 Football League Cup, Manchester City, currently qualify for European competition based on their league position, the spot awarded to the League Cup winner (Europa League third qualifying round) would be passed to the next best team in the table not already qualified for European competitions (in this case, the sixth-placed team).
