I mean technically, because the academy system didn't start until 1998, and all of them came through at Saints before then. Bridge being right on the edge of the change. Yes, they are still Saints products though. But there are significant differences between youth football before and after 1998.

He scored 4 goals on Tuesday night and got the matchball. One of his teammates wrote what seems to be "bye bye Jay Rod" on it...

I know, sorry couldn't help it. Williamson and Jones definitely aren't though.

The academy system started in 1998/99. Bridge turned 18 in August 1998 and was playing for the first team in 1998/99.

Williamson and Jones aren't Saints academy products. Nor are Bridge, Monk, Oakley or Phillips technically.

I want "our Alpine" back, you are clearly an impostor.

Why would you drop Lambert?

Adkins has already confirmed they were going to spend a significant amount regardless of Chamberlain leaving or not.

Connolly It would be Maynard and Lambert upfront for the majority of games if this signing happened. What makes you think signing Maynard means they wouldn't sign a centre back aswell?

When did I say he didn't play on the right on Saturday?

How was I "proved wrong"?

Very vague.

Where?

Why is it relevant that Dann played for a relegated team? It is his qualities that are important, not how his teammates did collectively. Scott Parker plays for a relegated team, yet is an England international and won the sportswriters player of the season.

I hope you are joking.

Why are people putting Chaplow on the right of midfield in a 442 ahead of natural players in that position? Adkins' back-up tactics to the traditional 442 are a 4411 and 41212 (could also be called a 442 Diamond). For example... - Late on in the Leeds United game he switched to a 4411, with De Ridder as the striker and Lambert playing behind him. - When Lallana came on in the Torquay game they switched to 41212 with Lallana behind the two strikers, Schneiderlin sitting in-front of the centre backs and Hammond and Chaplow in-front of Schniederlin playing and playing narrow (allowing the full backs to provide the width). Also I would say Seaborne is probably still ahead of Martin in the pecking order and now as he is fit he will partner Fonte. The Leeds United game also suggests Richardson is the preferred right back, so I don't expect to see Butterfield start on Saturday.

He sure does, he was the Championship's top goalscorer in consecutive seasons. 2007/08 Plymouth/Wolves 23 League Goals 2008/09 Wolves 25 League Goals

And who would mark the other Saints players they would have to leave in order to join a now 6 man wall?

It is one with the commentary from the "Player" company, so it isn't exactly accurate. For example he thinks De Ridder is Dutch and that Saints were 3-0 up against Leeds by half time on Saturday. That said, the BBC Radio Solent commentator thinks Bialkowski is Portuguese!

There is a 4 minute version on Saints Player as well.

What could Torquay do to stop it?

Yes they have, he is number 26. He is also in the Arsenal squad for the Champions League game against Udinese.

It is lazy journalism, as that deal doesn't see "Saints' previous transfer records blown out of the water" as the Saints OS describes. £12m rising to £15m however does and that is what the PA, BBC, Sky, The Independent and numerous others are saying.

It has, was put on there at 5:45pm http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2414134,00.html

They want to reassure Saints fans that they got a good deal without giving the exact fee away. Leaving it undisclosed could potentially mean it is more than £15m, but no-one would know.
