Do you think this would've happened if Cortese and Poch hadn't left? Would they have been able to convince players to turn down a huge payrise to continue 'the project'?

I'm surprised that nobody has posted this yet

As most say. Terrible idea. Top Premier clubs can continue to hoover up young English talent, not give them any chance to play at the top level, then cherry pick the best. The FA is almost as big a money making joke as FIFA. They know where their money comes from and they don't want to upset the big clubs and the Premier League. Want more English players in the Premier League? How about forcing teams to play more players in the Premier League? What a stupid idea...

I'm hoping he averages 7 goals per game for Juve and we sell him on for a healthy profit.

I hope he can work on getting his form back and not giving the ball away in training and not by playing. Cork has been outstanding in the last few games and should be our first choice IMO.

Dyer's pace will cause any preimer league defender problems. Fox isn't the best defender but some people here have no idea what they're talking about. You cannot afford to stay close to a much faster winger when you have no cover behind you, otherwise they just push the ball past you and are through on goal. Yes we got split open down the left a few times but Swansea are a good side with 4 good attacking players, Michu, Bony, Routlage and Dyer. It's very difficult to put 2 men on any of them for the whole game. Fox isn't out first choice defender, I'm sure the manager is quite aware of his limitations. We might've been a bit lucky but we still didn't concede.

It feels like VW has given the ball away more times this season than JC did for the whole of last season, a complete no-no for a central midfielder. Bring back Corky!

The shirt is OK, I don't think it's as good as last season's. I'm actually not that bothered about stripes although unless they are paying Saint lots of money, I'd rather the stripes weren't advertising Adidas!

You need to think bigger like Nicola. If we make a couple more £13 million signings in summer, we can really push on and upwards to being a top half team.

Kerry Dixon (Chelsea's 2nd all time highest goalscorer, 193 goals) cost us 575k, a large amount for us at the time and only managed to play 9 games.

You obviously don't remember Kerry Dixon and David Speedie. I expect you were also saying Rodrigez was a waste of money. Ramirez has the talent to do things that nobody else can in our squad. He is still young, has massive potential and needs to be nurtured. If you can't see that, thank god you aren't the manager!

Not sure how you can name anybody who was in the first team squad. There are many players that didn't even make it to the bench.....

Swansea City 2-1 Saints Saints 1-1 West Bromwich Albion Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 Saints Sunderland 2-1 Saints Saints 2-0 Stoke City

I'm sure the feeling would be mutual!

So presumably you wouldn't mind if I say I hope one of your relatives falls into a coma this evening and then dies a few days later?

Have you been to a match this season? I can't be arsed to argue with people who have no idea about football, bye.

Exactly, quite frankly abuse is the only thing these thick ***** deserve!

Ramirez has been one of our best players this season. His fitness and strength will improve in the coming years. Some people in this thread are utterly ignorant.

I'm going to bury my head in the snow and hop to god this hasn't happened!

https://twitter.com/search?q=adkins&src=typd WTF???!??! Can't be true can it?

Because he covers a lot of ground (fast), good at tackling back and can cross the ball (loads of assists last year). Glad you aren't manager!

I'm amazed this person is still allowed on this forum. For the first time ever I have to use the ignore function!
