Can Saints do for England what Barcelona has done for Spain?

Adams skill has been obvious to even a blind man! SFC have know this for a long time, they saw his ball skills, knew he had an engine that would not stop and would mature into the player that all of England can now see. Was given the captaincy this year (many fans were against this) because they new this was the man who we would be building a team around for the next 5 years. They were making it as hard as possible for those poaching teams to steal one of our brightest player. SFC have been a feeder club for too long! and have decided a new era has to be ushered in, SFC coaches know what we have in the academy, know what they are developing. They have given Adam a team that he call call his!! will he be a MLT and stay for his entire career? for now i think so, even if RM come calling, he is sold on this project, he is working with some of the best young footballers in England, and as long as we continue to show improvement, he will be loyal and stay. If after two years (he will be 27) we have not cracked the CL then I think he will make that move, but for now our young stars are on the Saints train and moving on up!

 

Another obvious thing to SFC that will happen if our academy continues to produce high quality English players is starting to unfold now......we will be the backbone of the England Intl team. We already have a possible 4 players going this year, we have many more in the England under 18/21 squads. If it is obvious to an amateur like me that one of Spain's greatest attributes was not only having great players, but great players playing for the same club team, Barcelona has 7 players in Spain's Intl squad, playing together week in week out, all on the same page. This is a recipe for success, and one that I hope is not lost on England. In fact all of England should be supporting SFC, trying to keep these players together instead of breaking them up and distributing them amongst the teams of the world. We have shown we have the right philosophy and ability to nurture talent to the highest level, why not even assist us in keeping our players together for the sake of England WC and European dreams!.

 

With this dream in mind, I would like us to be aggressive in bringing in more of England's young stars. I think Wellbeck is a great shout, will he come to us? maybe, MU are in turmoil, we can almost guarantee him more playing time. Steven Caulker is definitely attainable. Ruddy or Foster are also within our means. Could we temp Walcott and Ox back probably not. Will we go after the stars of the under 21 national team? will Zaha,Will Hughes, Redmond, Ings, Butland, Jack Robinson feel like they can be part of the Saints train? A few more of these stars could truly bring a revolution to the English National squad. It is a dream of mine and should be a dream of all England supporters. Lets add to our group of England stars, not sell them off to the highest bidders. It is in the best interest of England's National footy pride :0)...march on Saints! march on!!

Whilst I really like the sound if this, even if we did collect all the talent and they were all in from at the same time, picking the whole squad from one club would surely be blocked by the FA...they need those Man U fans to buy tickets to England games...

interstingly, we had 17 players selected for England at various levels in the last couple of weeks

 

the FA, with their new commission, have not even bothered to contact the club. Guess they know best on how to develop players

They stole our head of youth development, I imagine he knows full well how we operate.
