Lambert talking again about Koeman's disrespect regarding Vlaar. Presumably referring to Ron's earlier comments as all quiet now...suppose it is the press trying to stir things up and he is just replying to questions.
The problem with Ron is that if you ask him a question he has this unusual habit of answering it. So, "Do you like Vlaar as a player?", "Yes". "Would he make a good addition to the Southampton team?", "Yes". What else is he supposed to say? I suppose he could twitch a bit and say he has no idea because he was looking the other way and it wasn't down to him anyway!

Not sure how Oxo & Walcotts dad are exempt from criticism if I'm honest. They both moved very quickly, & neither has set the world alight.
Could it be a certain player filmed in a KFC queue with fans and rated as a chubster by his new manager In general, I think we raise responsible youngsters (as they know they will be on their bike if they don't stay focussed). Noticeable that 2 examples of good professional young players both came from our academy. Also the England u19 manager singled out our lads for praise, saying they were no trouble at all.
The player asking for the Range Rover for his mate is Luke Shaw. He's actually moved his mates from Surrey into his place in Manchester.
If I was rich, I would treat my friends as well, but this goes beyond it. Hardly healthy in the end for any of them...Luke is protecting himself from growing up and the friends aren't building their own lives. I hope this is just a temporary measure, but hey, doesn't matter to us any more
would an age related wage cap help in anyway. So you cant earn more than £x before your turn 16, and then £x before you are 20? Would stop so many kids just immediately jumping at money instead of thinking about there development
