Not a particularly reliable looking source.

Did you say the same about Broja and Livramento?

No they don't. No such rule exists.

Freddy Adu

That is going to be tricky to replicate in the FM database!

Perhaps you should stop calling it the Premiership. It hasn't been called that for circa 15 years! Do you know the reason why Delap didn't feature in the game?

No, that is their city rivals

He can be seen in many training photo galleries and videos of the players at Staplewood the club publish.

Bella-Kotchap to fill that space in the squad before departures

We already know though! But may be someone else added to this... - Hassenhüttl, Kitzbichler and Selles are the three 1st team outfield coaches - Banks is the 1stteam fitness coach - Sparkes is the 1st team keeper coach Plus they stated in the retained list article that Stephens and McCarthy have extended contracts.

Saints currently have 3 first team coaches/manager, plus fitness coaches and a 1st team keeper coach.

Lallana and Schneiderlin were relegated to League One, should they have been written off as no hopers due to the poor performance of their club? Sweeping generalisations aren't helpful.

1) You not being aware of a player does not mean nobody has. He even played vs Saints recently! 2) If Saints do want him, he'd have been scouted over a long period. So not a speculative gamble. 3) Why write a player you hadn't heard of off as a waste of money?

How about judging a player on his own merits rather than that of other players or his club being relegated?

Yes

The same people in America saying, “don’t have sex and you won’t get pregnant,” believe in a religion based upon the idea that a woman didn’t have sex and got pregnant.

He doesn't need to be a replacement for any of them leaving. 2 central midfielder positions, 4 players competing for them! Healthy squad competition.

Saints have had recent first hand experience of him...

It is problematic to write off players based on their team being relegated. Better to judge the player on their own merits, not that of the club they come from.

Not bothered!

Shovels out, let's build an epic canal to Bulgaria!
