The article really doesn't tell you anything, e.g. why he's fallen out of favour at Southampton.

FWIW I'll always love the guy.

    Prompted by your comment, I re-read it.

    • Arsenal. We all know the story, but it does go into detail.
    • Despite playing well at Sheffield Utd, the rest of the team didn't. Relegated.
    • At Newcastle he was competing for his place but both he and Nick Pope didn't perform well. Transferred.
    • Southampton. Eckert doesn't rate him, but he is fighting for his place from a position of being 4th choice. Yes, it doesn't say why he is out of favour, but maybe it's not well-known?

    Edit - I found the original interview and speed watched it. Begovic's quote in the article is:

    "There's many different factors that go into it but I think it's been unfortunate that maybe a few things haven't aligned for him [at Southampton]."

    The only factor he lists in the video are "club business elements".
