He signed about four hours ago, so at that rate he'll score around 3,000 goals this season.

Hey Brenda, play a player in a style and position that suits them, you get good results.

I know I keep banging on about this, but this is the key to why players coming from the lesser sides fail to do well at the top sides, apart from a "jack of all trades" player like Milner. I can't think of another player over 24/25 who has moved from a smaller PL club to a big club and done well (in recent-ish years), I've had a few tonight aswell so I may be chatting complete ****

You do have a point however, there have been a few duds of late and not just those leaving Saints. There will be exceptions and I am struggling to think of players, especially English players who have stepped up. I suppose its more to do with lack of time to get established in the first team and the pressure to retain their position in the starting line-up not just from other players fighting for your place but from the management (team and club) who have their internal and external pressures.

You're right, if you think about the starting elevens of the top four clubs and it's a struggle
Aston Villa, who were the last team before Saints to suffer a mini exodus provide all the possible names

Gary Cahill
Ashley Young
James Milner

Although Cahill is a regular and Young had a good season as a left wing back, it's a stretch to describe them as key players.
