Glasgow_Saint Posted 15 June, 2013 Posted 15 June, 2013 Dejan Lovren, Nathaniel Clyne, Vegard Forren, Luke Shaw, Jack Stephens, Maya Yoshida, Jack Cork, Adam Lallana, Gastón Ramírez, Morgan Schneiderlin, James Ward-Prowse, Emmanuel Mayuka, Jay Rodriguez, Paulo Gazzaniga ALL 25 OR UNDER!!!
Matthew Le God Posted 15 June, 2013 Posted 15 June, 2013 We'll still use 4-2-3-1 and Lambert will be higher in the pecking order than Mayuka. I think we'll see a lot more of Mayuka this season though.

I think we'll see a lot more of Mayuka this season though. Lambert is not under 25. Thank you for using a pic of morph, i really am your fav on swf now arent i
Matthew Le God Posted 15 June, 2013 Posted 15 June, 2013 Thank you for using a pic of morph. Oh dear, that isn't Morph! How little you know, (the late) Tony Hart and Aardman animation will be most upset. It is Morph's arch nemesis Chas! *evil laugh*
Dr Who? Posted 15 June, 2013 Posted 15 June, 2013 I tell you what, I really do think some of the best years in Southampton Football Club history are about to happen. In the next 2/3 years. I have believed this since the Championship season.
Downthe36 Posted 15 June, 2013 Posted 15 June, 2013 Average age of that starting 11 is 22.4 years old, pretty impressive that we can put out a team that strong using our youngest players!

Barry Sanchez Posted 15 June, 2013 Posted 15 June, 2013 Not sure why we would now in June put Mayuka in the 1st team when he had the chance and was woeful, in short if he was good enough he would of been playing already, Forren as well. Obvious questions over Ramirez and his fitness and desire as well.
Matthew Le God Posted 15 June, 2013 Posted 15 June, 2013 Mayuka had the chance and was woeful. Nonsense as usual Barry.
Turkish Posted 15 June, 2013 Posted 15 June, 2013 Let's not get too ahead of ourselves. I remember being excited in 2003/04 when we had exciting young talent like Fitz Hall, Grifitt, Folly and Darren Kenton and that all went wrong.
Barry Sanchez Posted 15 June, 2013 Posted 15 June, 2013 Nonsense as usual Barry. So he is awesome? I do remember planning permission for a statue to go up after the Villa game next to Bates...........................

The Kraken Posted 15 June, 2013 Posted 15 June, 2013 We finished higher that season than we did last season.And what happened the season after that one?

It is Morph's arch nemesis Chas! *evil laugh* Tony Hart won't be upset, he's dead. MLG mode off. (Yes I am aware that you said "late", that's still the kind of stuff you do though).
Matthew Le God Posted 15 June, 2013 Posted 15 June, 2013 Tony Hart won't be upset, he's dead. MLG mode off. (Yes I am aware that you said "late", that's still the kind of stuff you do though). 1) I said "late", which you acknowledged and then overlooked 2) Some people believe in an afterlife (although admittedly I don't)
The9 Posted 15 June, 2013 Posted 15 June, 2013 We finished higher that season than we did last season. On Christmas Day 2003 Saints were 4th in the Premier League! And on Boxing Day 2003 we were utterly crap at Loftus Road against Fulham. I think that was when the players got wind that WGS was planning on leaving.
Window Cleaner Posted 15 June, 2013 Posted 15 June, 2013 Woah there, not so much of the Gazza, in fact I expect Cropper to pass him in the pecking order next season.
Turkish Posted 15 June, 2013 Posted 15 June, 2013 We finished higher that season than we did last season. On Christmas Day 2003 Saints were 4th in the Premier League! What happened the following season?
Matthew Le God Posted 15 June, 2013 Posted 15 June, 2013 (edited) What happened the following season? I've tried to erase that from memory in the same way Redknapp removed it from his CV! Thankfully the Liebherr trust have higher ambitions and more resources than Rupert Lowe. Saints failed to press forward after the FA Cup final and 8th place finish of 2002/03, possibly leading to Strachan leaving and our decline. From 2001 to 2012 our record signing was Rory Delap for £4m ffs! Edited 15 June, 2013 by Matthew Le God

I remember being excited in 2003/04 when we had exciting young talent like Fitz Hall, Grifitt, Folly and Darren Kenton and that all went wrong. None of those were first team regulars. They just did a mediocre to poor job of filling in when the old farts like Dodd and lundekvam got injured. The team now is different, we've built a team around Cork and Morgan. Lallana, JRod, Shaw, Gaston and Clyne are all first team regulars too.

Lallana, JRod, Shaw, Gaston and Clyne are all first team regulars too. And to describe Kenton as "exciting" well that's far fetched. Don't know which forum it was on but I warned you all about Griffit, he was just too small for top level football. Why he was built up to be some sort of future star when he'd just played a few French league 2 games (Blue Sq level at best) stumps me.
buctootim Posted 15 June, 2013 Posted 15 June, 2013 I warned you all about Griffit, he was just too small for top level football. I thought that about Nathan Dyer in the Championship, he left, I was pleased, we went to lg1, he went to the PL.
Window Cleaner Posted 15 June, 2013 Posted 15 June, 2013 I thought that about Nathan Dyer in the Championship, he left, I was pleased, we went to lg1, he went to the PL. but Griffit weighed about 45 kilos when he came here. Doubt if Dyer was ever that lightweight.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 15 June, 2013 Author Posted 15 June, 2013 And what happened the season after that one? What happened the following season? What happened?
Dr Who? Posted 15 June, 2013 Posted 15 June, 2013 Oh yes we were. 2003/04 season.... Then downhill all the way!
Dr Who? Posted 15 June, 2013 Posted 15 June, 2013 We weren't 4th at Christmas http://www.statto.com/football/stats/england/premier-league/2003-2004/table/2003-12-22

Cortese has incredible ambition, plans and the ability to action them, but I wonder what you know about Katherinas motivation and intentions other than her resources which are a matter of fact and beyond question.

LG and YF were just unfortunate, i feel if we used them when we were relegated they would of turned out pretty good championship players.
david in sweden Posted 16 June, 2013 Posted 16 June, 2013 I share your enthusiasm for a young squad Glasgow, but let's not have Gazzaniga in goal, please.
mulletsaint Posted 16 June, 2013 Posted 16 June, 2013 Not sure why we would now in June put Mayuka in the 1st team Don't think anybody was suggesting that for one minute Bazza. Still, don't let that get in the way of having a good moan eh?
lloydie Posted 16 June, 2013 Posted 16 June, 2013 I remember being excited in 2003/04 when we had exciting young talent like... Darren Kenton. Oh christ. The memories. They're back! i had forgotten about him, he was decent on FM(or CM) at the time i think!
Batman Posted 16 June, 2013 Posted 16 June, 2013 this is what will be the starting 11 for the first game. dont ask how I know this. You would not believe me
Turkish Posted 16 June, 2013 Posted 16 June, 2013 Oh christ. The memories. They're back! i had forgotten about him, he was decent on FM(or CM) at the time i think! Wasn't he meant to be the best defender outside the premier league when we signed him?
Glasgow_Saint Posted 16 June, 2013 Author Posted 16 June, 2013 this is what will be the starting 11 for the first game. dont ask how I know this. You would not believe me 442. booooo
stug76 Posted 16 June, 2013 Posted 16 June, 2013 this is what will be the starting 11 for the first game. dont ask how I know this. You would not believe me I don't think anyone would believe you even if you listed all your sources. Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Lighthouse Posted 16 June, 2013 Posted 16 June, 2013 LG and YF were just unfortunate, i feel if we used them when we were relegated they would of turned out pretty good championship players. Yoanne Folly was terrible. He was instrumental in some of our worst performances when we went down, including the defeats at Spuds and Villa. In another game he was brought on as a sub and taken off again half an hour later.
Junior Mullet Posted 17 June, 2013 Posted 17 June, 2013 this is what will be the starting 11 for the first game. dont ask how I know this. You would not believe me Forren over Yoshida? Otherwise this looks pretty.
SuperSAINT Posted 17 June, 2013 Posted 17 June, 2013 this is what will be the starting 11 for the first game. dont ask how I know this. You would not believe me That is awesome. (But Lamela? - Really?)
