Agreed. But my point isn't really about Shaw per se. Its just that there is this prevailing view from everyone (outside Southampton) that all our young stars will be moving to 'bigger' clubs. Anyway, Zaha is an example of yet another reason why they should not and will not.
Whatever Kenwyn's work rate, we do have a habit of allowing former players to score against us. In this case however...
I agree and I think our youngsters realise it. I also think that agents/parents of young players will also start to realise it...getting in at Southampton could soon be regarded as winning the lottery for a young footballer.
I'm pretty sure they do. For one example, Joshua Debayo turned down a deal with Chelsea to sign one with Saints. George Mells too.
Er, lamb, we lost to Man City and Jay Rod got a horrific injury. What possessed you to do the match thread?
if you're good enough you'll make it, zaha is not man united standard and probably never will be, thats why he's not made an impact. someone like ramsey went to arsenal at 17 and it benefitted him hugely getting coached to play football properly which he wouldnt have got at cardiff.
She could go on one of the Titanic walks while you are at the footie. Walks at 12.30 and 2.30 starting at Holyrood Church. You can book at the Mayflower Theatres website or telephone STGA. I'm going on one and am looking forward to it.
Not sure where to put it, but Roy Hodgson, speaking to the FA Council at Wembley, praised Everton and Southampton managers for taking risks with young players and being rewarded for it.
You can book at the Mayflower Theatres website or telephone STGA. Good idea Godders, but she won`t be coming to Soton this time. I`ll take one of these walks in future however. Reminds me that the guy who was at the helm of Titanic on that fateful night, is buried in Aberdeen - he took ill on a ship anchored off Aberdeen during the war and died.
Facing fate head on....I'm surprised Jones is still a premier league striker. All the physical attributes, but has consistently under performed at this level. Ever since his actions at Saints I believe his chief motivator to be money. Think he has largely cruised since he got on the gravy train.
First home game since 1963. What's the parking like around the Dell? Thought I'd better give it a go before the little grey cells become little blank cells. Never been further south than Sheffield for a match, is it really paradise in the south?
Yes. Blue skies, warm temperatures. Southampton is the furthest north and east I'd consider live in GB. Soft southerner..!
