    Rio Ferdinand (admittedly more established then than Shaw is now) went for £30m in 2002, which is the inflation-adjusted equivalent of £42.6m today.

    The new European rules may have an effect on the prices of young English players - won't future squads that are chasing euro qualification be required to have a number of 'home grown' players.

    Apparently for us it's 8 & 4 must be from the youth set up since they were 15, I think with the last bit.

    Yeah you have to have 4 players trained at the club for 3 years before they're 18 I think. That's what FM says anyway.

    It's 3 years before their 21st birthday, but you can count the season their 21st birthday is in.

    Ahh that's the one, I thought 18 was a little early as I was typing it.

    23.5, since when though because that figure might change to 16.4 or 26.75 dependent on dates!

    Erm......Luke Shaw, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Theo Walcott, Gareth Bale, Wayne Bridge, Adam Lallana.

    They've got by far the most successful academy in the country.

    oi!

    You'd get pretty good odds on those 3 to be relegated

    What makes you say that? Considering we finished above you this season despite basically giving the whole league a 7-game headstart, and you will have Europe to contend with next season, surely Hull is the safer bet for relegation?
