Chamberlain on. Saints academy now makes up over 1/4 of the England team,

2 saints academy products on the pitch, another on the bench.

I actually think he is better for England now than in is supposed prime. Much more discipline, less charging about like he used to do and dictates the play. Best player on the pitch by a mile.

Uwe Rosler?

Not quite sure what you're on about now and I don't think you are. The 'Liverpool won't sell anyone to a top 10 club' argument had made you look a bit of a plum as usual hasn't it pal. "LOL"

Good enough for Chelsea to pay £50m. Spanish international and red hot at the time he moved. Liverpool first team player too, not one that had been loaned out because he can't make the team. Doesn't matter how good he is, it's an example of Liverpool selling to a top 10 club, something you said never happens. You asked for an example I provided it. You're full of sh* t. What about a Robbie Keane, Peter crouch and Craig Bellamy or aren't they any good either? No, Liverpool never sell players to top 10 clubs. "LOL"

Battered where? Must be missing something.

How about only Clattenburg. We'd be bottom by some distance wouldn't we?

If you look at Chelseas attacking players and what you might presume to be there first XI of Torres, Hazard, Oscar, Eto, Ramires etc how many English players are there in there? How many goals do you expect Terry and Cole to get? Point being, that table is totally pointless and irrelevant.

How would the league look if only goals scored by players with letter S in their name, born in March and scored between the 31st and 74th minutes counted?

So second bottom of the league if only foreign players had scored. Worrying stats those.

As you get better so the pool of talent to improve you decreases. Its much easier to find a Fonte and Lambert than a top hlaf level premier league player at a good price. We are in quite a difficult position now, arguably the toughest for a long time in terms of attacting players to imporve us. To get better than we have for our first XI you are talking about internatonial players who are champions league level and if they're at that level most will want champions league football and wages. So we are operating in to pool below that whereby we have to convince players who wont make the first XI of bigger clubs to come here. IMO we are best of scouting the smaller domesitic leagues like Holland, Beligum and eastern Europe and use the draw of the premier league to upcoming players in those regions rather than chasing marque signings from Italy and Spain who probably dont want to be here but will for the money.

Yep, that's exactly how i see it. c£30m spent on 3 quality players and Osvaldo out for £10-£12m leaving a net spend of £18. Not unreasonable for any midtable club. Lallaland apparently.

Not so sure it's inevitable. The only place that seems to be the case is on here where an internet frenzy has been created that his body language doesn't look right and he doesn't shout enough. Where could he go that's better than here? Real Madrid and Inter linked in the press but why would they want him? Midtable finishes for two middle sized clubs in England and Spain says he hasn't done enough to warrant a move to champions league club in any of the major leagues and the pressure of champions league football has been lifted now Nick Nack has gone. In many ways he is perhaps in a better position now than he was before Cortese left.

a window exactly like last summers will do me just fine. 3 quality players in a striker an attacking midfielder and a centre back and ideally not lose anyone except Osvaldo. Ideally i'd like some decent cover for Boruc or someone better than him or a younger keeper. Cant say i've been too impressed with Gazzaniga. Rumours were we had agreed a deal to sign Aaron Hunt on a free from Werder Bremen so that is perhaps the attacking midfiedler ticked off.

Luke Shaws family are from Kingston and he moved away from home to live in Southampton at 15 If he joined Chelsea he could aruagbly move closer to his family. So the imagine of a lonely 18 year old cuddling his teddy on his own in a big city and pining for his parents isn't quite washing i'm afraid.

Exactly. Several people have said we need a 20 goal a season striker, but the reality is that in the last 5 years i think it's only 9 players who have scored more than 20 in a season. One now plays in Spain and was the world record signing, another now players in Italy, Suarez who was valued at over £40m last summer and they generally play for champions league sides. 10-15 goals a season is not unreasonable amount for a midtbale side striker. We might need a better one to push on, but they dont grow on trees and aren't cheap.

Torres to Chelsea. "LOL" Next please

Ahh thanks for clarifying. When everyone else was talking about Borini you weren't or talking about Liverpool, just someone like him. So it seems you're right. The idea that a champion league club challenging for the title sell a squad player who's been out on loan to a 'rival' midtable club is one of the most ridiculous suggestions in mongboard history isn't it. You're right if NEVER happens. "LOL"

Could see them bidding for Lovren.

Err You did. Post 77 'I doubt we could steal them from a prem rival' What are we rivals to Liverpool for? "LOL"

Yes, why wouldn't they if we offered them a decent fee. What are we rivals to Liverpool for? "LOL"

He's a Liverpool player and won't get first team football regularly there. They loaned him to Sunderland, why wouldn't they sell him to us? "lol"

before the sunderland game we were unbeaten in 8. Since then we've lost 3. Form is all about momentum, we lost it at Sunderland.

has the society of black laywers commented yet?
