    No, that was QPR. They nicked him from them and took all the glory.

    No Tom. Liverpool signed him for £600,000 as a 16 year old. QPR developed him. We signed Lallana at 10 or 12.

    You could argue that Arsenal have hindered Chamberlain' s development, the same goes for Chambers.

    Ibe came from Wycombe didn't he? Had played for their first team before Liverpool signed him. I never understand this argument though, big teams don't need to develop players as they can afford to just go and buy anyone who takes their fancy from smaller teams. There is pretty much no incentive for them to really focus on developing young players, and to give young players chances at PL/European level is more likely to produce mistakes which the top teams managers can't afford to do so less get blooded

    But Woodburn is meant to be the next messi and because he scored a wonder tap in from 10 yards he should be praised for years to come as an example of Liverpools outstanding academy....

    When asked if he would like to sign for Leicester, Wilfred said Ndidi.

    Dear Saints
    Please can we have a quiet stress free window this time with VVD and Fonte laughing at suggestions they are leaving such a fantastic club? We are just getting our act together and who knows what the team might achieve this season. So please don't ruin it and leave us all wondering what might have been. (again)
    A long suffering Saints fan

    Do we assume Saints still haven't sorted out the much rumoured new deal for Jose yet?

    If Fonte wanted a move and got turned down (and his very un-Fonte moodiness at the start of the season suggests that was true), I doubt he would sign another contract now. He is probably hoping for one decent move at the *** end of his career...I'm sure there are several clubs who would take him. Depends what Mourinho's situation is in the summer.

    The correct answer to the Liverpool question is Flani Alves
