Not many who give their own youth a chance in the Prem...most buy young players from other clubs, or send their own out on loan for a few years.

I wasn't saying we were the first ones to ever do it. But clubs at this level rarely give youth a chance. We've been very good in that department the last few years and the players we've brought through show that. Yes it's going to be very heard to do, but might as well give it a go....we're not going to go out and spend millions and millions on world class players, so the only chance Cortese has of ticking his boxes are with homegrown players IMO. Is it plausible? That remains to be seen.

Thing is these young players aren't all going to come through and suddenly take us to Europe. It's going to take time. The outstanding ones will leave, but hopefully they'll stay with us a bit longer than the previous ones and so on. It will take time "in an ideal world" whether this happens or not. Yes it's unlikely we'll be able to bring through a top 6 side but why not try and be the blueprint for others to copy?

I think it's quite funny how a bit of fun making a fantasy kit manages to make its way onto @saintsfcviews, @saintsnews, @anyoldsaintswannabenews as a "this is our kit next season, on twitter. Morons.

Better than a random black one. Or a white one we never use....

Big fan. It's not difficult. Very nice.

Lee will leave because he's crap, not because of any other reason.

Isn't Bilbao a pretty good example ?!

When did I say we had them now? IF we had kept them altogether (which we have a lot better chance now we're in the prem) then we'd have a very handy side. I agree that we won't keep them all, and that ones will move on, but if we bring through a top half prem standard player on a regular basis, then ok the first few we may sell, but we may get longer and longer out of them per player. Lets say Shaw stays with us for 3 seasons, and by then JWP has progressed into a solid prem player, then a few more come through...There is no reason why we cant progress like that. It's long term thinking and probably what the club has in mind. Yes I know that we will bring through some players who aren't good enough, (ATM Lallana ticks that box) but I don't believe that just shelling out £200m is the only way to get into the top 6.

IMO, players who aren't playing on a regular basis for their club shouldn't be playing for England. It may stop players like Chamberlain, Rodwell, Sinclair, throwing away their chance to play everyweek and be happy to just pick up their wage packet from the bench.

Do I think ? No I don't. But it's certainly a possibility depending on who comes through. If we had Chamberlain, Theo, Bale, Lallana, Shaw, then yes, I see no reason why we couldn't do this.

He's a tough tackling CM. So yes In competition with those players mentioned.

Yeah don't mind that kit. Quite nice

That was ****ing **** tonight. England are so dull.

Why the hell is this a sticky?! Odd rumour. He won't go.

Depends if you have a good academy and produce half of these top players yourself really....

That is appalling. One of the worst kits I've seen. The two tone red just looks awful.

:shakey:That is horrendous. 2 shades of red ?!

Went to Wentworth on Saturday and Sunday....might try and get to a few Hampshire cricket matches this summer. Apart from that waiting for August !!

Milans Don't think Ajax home kit has been released yet. Think Milan's in red and white would look superb.

Thats Seattle's.

Probably because of that reason that it was a Monday, plenty didn't go last season therefore have never been.

If rumours are to believed then the AC Milan away shirt is probably not far off, in Red with white sides. Horrible though. Would be more than happy with a red and white version of the Montreal kit.
