It isn't Buendia's fault that the chances he created when he was last in the Premier League were messed up by his Norwich teammates...

Easier to perform magic when your key doves aren't injured.

The Bundesliga is a comparable quality to the Premier League and he came 2nd and 6th with a newly promoted club. Plus have you already forgotten how well we did during 2020 calender year? That showed for a substantial period he was able to get us winning and playing good football in the PL. Sure 2021 has not been good, but let's not rewrite the past.

Saying black lives matter, is not also saying other lives don't. In any case there is not a history of hundreds of years of repression of whites.

It is a Football Insider story by clickbait merchant Wayne Veysey. He barely counts as a journalist. He has come out with some absolute nonsense about Saints in the past.

I did not say you could. My question was about if Saints stopped signing 8 to 13 year olds, how would that help Saints as other clubs would get the best youngsters. Extremely rare for a player who makes it not to already be in the academy system before the age of 14.

They are allowed to do what they want and always have been.

It isn't 'some papers'... it was a Football Insider story by clickbait merchant Wayne Veysey. He barely counts as a journalist.

Report to who and for what purpose? Booing of the gesture is moronic... but it isn't illegal or racist in itself.

It didn't... as my question was how would Saints switching to only signing 14+ year olds if other clubs pick up the best players help Saints? Which you didn't address. Plus, missing out on 6 years of professional coaching isn't going to help.

That didn't answer the question.

Possibly a replacement for Grealish moving to Man City.

Lots of our best academy players were recruited at 8, 9, 10. Stopping recruitment at that age means Saints would miss out on players to other clubs. Only recruiting at 14 upwards means you've missed out on coaching them at a high level for 6 years. So how does that help us?

Why do you think they haven't tried to sell him? Maybe they have... but no-one wants to buy him.

In this case he claimed it was a fact! So it is not unreasonable to ask why he considers it a fact! 🙄

Is your missile being guided by a pigeon?

It was a deal worth an initial £25m, rising to a potential £30m. https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/said-benrahma-west-ham-transfer-news-brentford-latest-b1069668.html

How do you know that to be a fact?

It is not relevant to my post at all, it is on a completely different tangent. Do you deny that he was denied the opportunity to invest in the club by his government?

I don't know. But on what are you basing your view that he wouldn’t?
