Holmes has a very good history, see he international career where he captained England. His career just stalled at Derby and now seems to have picked up again.
Pullis on the other had is 24 and has never really had a career just looking at the lack of games he's played at any level.
No one has mentioned that for us to be joint 5th we have to win 5-0 to match the team curretly 5th. Just being on the same points as 5th doesn't make you joint with them.
No details on FM09 will be released until next Wednesday. See my thread http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=993
However if you ask this question on the SI boards maybe someone in the development team will know. I would guess that if it didn't work for FM08 then it won't for FM09 but its worth asking
The actual teams in the division won't think we are rubbish as they will scout us before they play us and see that we're not.
However what is in our favour is most opposition crowds think that we are there to be beaten easily and we can in away games use this to our advantage at least in the early part of the season when we are still "unknown".

Would be a great signing. Like Lee Holmes a great prospect who came through young and lost his way. Saints can help put him back on track.
He has better ball control that Jermaine Wright, see below

I'm sure there is the option to extend them. Spurs and Chelsea may want to see how much we use them and if its in their interest to keep them on loan if they aren't playing. Saints may want to see how they do before comitting to a season long loan. As I said at the beginning I'm sure we can easily extend the loan.
Yep it is. Unlikely many have done this over such a short period. Shows what quality he has. If we don't get promotion this season I don't see him staying long as he is far too good for the Championship.
as colinjb said total football, most of our players are interchanging position throughout the game
the two wingers, striker and "in the hole man" all swap alot throughout and the wingers and full backs interchange a little
