  1. Agreed ... I'd been thinking this too. As you say very raw but different to our other options. Should also help the press with that pace and, potentially, a good option to leave up top on his own when we're 'backs to the wall'. Young lad at Brom, Leko, looks similar.
  2. Maybe Januzaj as a more realistic makeweight?
  3. I've always liked him and think he'd be a good fit for us football wise ... but I can't see us getting Song as it just wouldn't fit with our recent (young, hungry with a lot to prove) transfer policy. He's a couple of years older than Morgan already so unlikely to appreciate in value too much (unless we get a real bargain and he has a stormer) and on too big a wage for us (I assume). However, that said, he's younger than Pelle was when we brought him in - and a similar price if press figures are anywhere near accurate - and it could be argued that he's in a similar position to Bertrand at Chelsea so what the hell do I know!
  4. Sorry mate, don't get you. Please elaborate on how you think these events are connected ...
  5. The problem with this set up is that the girls in the County development squad have to attend trials to be chosen. Nobody is out and about actively watching games and looking for talent to develop. My understanding is (happy to be corrected if I'm wrong here) is that the girls in the County squad are not allowed to play for other teams and play relatively few games when compared to the Saints girls who play week in week out. And yes there are a number of girls and ladies clubs in Southampton but only one that are allowed to wear the Saints strip and badge and have won honours in the name of Southampton FC in the past ... Why on earth would you choose any of the others?
  6. My daughter plays for Saints U13. Her team were so successful last year that they are playing up a year in the U14s league this season. Their first season with off-side rule (and sorry to **** on your obvious joke opportunity Turkish but yes they do all understand it ) and bigger pitches and goals against teams who have already had a whole season to get used to the changes. They are currently top of the league again. Our U12s are just as good and are also playing up a year and sit top in their league too. Both teams have won national competitions and my daughter has scored the winning goal in a cup final wearing the Saints badge - one of my proudest moments as a parent. They'll be going to an international competition in Holland in the Spring and it will be interesting to see how well they do against girls from other nations. Despite all this, I understand why many posters on this thread (not the kn0b who suggested they play in bikinis - paedo alert?) have no time for the woman's game. It is second rate when compared to boys of the same age and I'm happy to admit that my enjoyment is that of a proud parent rather than a football fan. I won't be signing the petition because I don't think it's the right way to approach the club but I do feel the club should embrace the ladies game alongside it's other numerous community projects - I think many posters on here would be surprised by how popular girls football is becoming. Letting the girls take advantage of the academy facilities and expertise occasionally would surely cost the club very little? Anyhow, my daughter's U13 team will be playing Portsmouth FC U14s (who do have the backing of their so-called parent club) in the Hampshire FA Cup Final in a couple of weeks time - at AFC Totton I think. Should they attend the game, I defy Turkish or any of the doubters not to let out a cheer when the girls score against the skates!!!
  7. Done ... Really had to think quite hard about a few of the questions so took me a lot longer than 5 mins mentioned!
  8. Can't see it myself ... Isn't he supposed to be a bit of a kn0b off the field?

    He runs like Lallana
  10. Southampton Saints Girls & Ladies FC ... My daughter plays for them. They wear the Saints strip including the club badge as they were previously linked to the Club but were set adrift back in the days when we were struggling financially.
