My girlfriend spoke to a friend of Alex's dad in port solent on the weekend. He has told him he is staying at Saints this season because he hasn't got his drivers liscence yet. His dad doesn't fancy driving any further than he does currently. He also confirmed every quote about him saying he wants him to join Arsenal is utter bull**** and that if he had said anything, it would have been that he wants him to eventually join Utd.
HTH
