Because he's 18 years old. Playing matches is the most important thing for his development right now by far. At Man U and Chelsea he arguably won't even be on the bench, especially in case of the latter. He'll just be loaned out or something.
Every football player his age should have this kind of mentality instead of scooping up the easy money that a contract at a big club gives you.
if a club wants you it usually means they have plans to use you in their lineups, not leave you on the bench. if they explicitly approached him and said we want you to play for us as a backup/rotation player then its a different story, but if they approached him promising first team football, theres no reason to stay at southampton. the players in man utd and chelsea are good enough that simply being in their presence will make you better, not to mention their training facilities and coaches.
Young players need experience more than anything. I fully agree with twisted that every young player should rather want to play than big money.
It's amazing to think that he isnt best midfielder in Turkey's line up :3 Our roster is actually good.
If you wonder who is better than him: Selcuk Inan, he is the best midfielder in Turkey's history. Players like Turan says that he is the top 10 in Europa.
Wow, can't believe I missed Mata transfer when it happened, but reading your summary Pandemona I'm quite surprised The Special One would give up his best player for rival Man Utd. Unless his plan to join them is still in motion and he just sends best players there before he arrives :D
so he plays the same position as mata but occasionally deeper? Does he do defensive work at all or work hard? I know he's good at passing but is there anything else he does?
Manchester United can save this season if they get Di Maria. He is real deal and you can probably get him for 30m or so. I dont think signing Kroos is a solution.
Not to be rude, but Kroos (or rather his agent) is almost certainly using Man Utd for leverage in contract negotiations. The same thing happened with Fabregas last summer. Bayern have no reason to sell him and money doesn't mean anything to them.

Kroos is very hard working defensively. He can even be used as a 6
Being bossed off the pitch by Saints so far. Per needs to give Özil a good kick up the arse, because he just looks so very uninterested most of the times lately. No Rosicky on the bench either. Fuck me.
Ozil/Cazorla/Arteta/Giroud please donate your week's wages to the supporters who came to watch that shit. That was the worst half of Arsenal football I've seen since the game at Stamford Bridge last season.
