Buttner or Shaw

I really don't know why some people are still hung up on Buttner.

Missing out on Michu is a pain in the helmet but Buttner?

There are people who WERE hung up on Buttner of which I was one. Early season it was obvious to all that LB was a problem position for us, as SFC4BAG said Luke has been a revelation and made us much more solid, lets hope he stays fit.
 
I saw Saints play yesterday, and must admit Luke Shaw played superbly, and was to my mind man of the match.

A very mature head on such young shoulders - big future ahead for him, and only a matter of time before he is pushing Ashley Cole for an England start.
 
The Don needs to make sure he has a water tight contract if Luke is to start playing for U21's as he will be mixing with youngsters from the big teams who will be looking to turn his head with their cars and watches!
 
I would hope that Luke has the sense to realise that at his age he should be working at getting better. Quite a few big hopes have fizzled out because they earn enough without putting real effort in. However, he is a teenage boy and is already talking about wanting to pass his test so he can drive to training. Nothing bigger than 500 cc, please. Have to say that Saints do seem to turn out sensible players.

I think the policy is to only recruit bright level headed ones in the first place Fran and that is not only at academy level but also for the first team.

I am always pleased with how our players come across when interviewed.

We have only had one or two that have generally let the club down - Ranger and Wise for example - Nathan Dyer's actions at that night club were just plain stupid and I was impressed with his responses when he was interviewed after a his goal against us the other week.

I wonder how many not606 posters would pass muster in that part of the Saints player selection interview where the emphasis is on intelligence and personailty.

Not me that is for sure as I would probably be as short tempered as Paddy Crerand was on Radio 5 this morning.

I have told the story before, but a friend saw a young Saints team playing a practice match against a local side and the players were being coached to never take more than a few strides before passing the ball. Pass, pass, pass is the 'Southampton Way'.

And the Barcelona Way. Works for them...

Not words that often get used to describe Luke Shaw!
