2 maybe 3 players down today would break into that list. Not sure when Watson birthday is
 
the big clubs do sell players to pay the bills..thats the whole point..they expect their academy to make a profit to pay the bills..
the difference is that at 15-16 years old players at liverpool dont want to leave liverpool for a premier league team..because they are already at one,,
so liverpool can keep 15-16 year olds until they are 119 and 20 and then do as you say and get money for them to pay the bills,,
players at league one level at 15-16 want to be at a premier league team..thats why they leave SAFC.
No no, You don’t know or either don’t understand, the last mob actively pushed these players at our academy Greenwoods, Stephensons etc etc aged 15-16 to premier lg clubs to pay bills, I think at the last count under dumb & dumbers command it was in excess of 20 young lads sold.
 
What … you mean get on the match thread and suggest that one misplaced pass doesn’t mean he’s dog shite, and one back flick doesn’t mean he’s the next Messi? And get abused by the entire SMB? It’s not worth the hassle. And sadly, that’s being serious.

It isnt in my experience. There are absolutely loads of posters on here that are a bit more balanced. Some more on the positive side, some more on the negative side.

There are extremes of course. I think the wildly optimistic are more numerate than the opposite end of the spectrum.

Sadly in my experience having a balanced view backed with facts is a major crime to many of the regular vocal posters.
 
What's the consensus, do people reckon he'll get a run out today?

Be nice to see him even if just for 5 minutes, so we can decide if he's shite or class
I think Mowbray more or less said he'd get some minutes if the win is in the bag. So I'm not expecting him to start.
