Re: Season 2017/2018
The under 23,s league is a bit of a joke TBH. As mentioned in that article the under 18 side is far more important and relevant.

Do you think enough young talent is coming through Jim?.

Re: Season 2017/2018
Well it would appear they have more chance at United than City if you read that article with five of the squad in the recent derby coming through the ranks as opposed to none from City.
Liverpool have given a couple of youngsters a chance this season but they along with most of the 'big six' don't have the greatest of records for developing their own talent, far better to let Saints do it in Liverpools' case.

The trouble is people are impatient nowadays and want ready made players to come in and perform straight away.

Well £90 million for Pogba and £30 million for Felliani were shrewd signings l can tell you  plus the other misfits too numerous to mention. .

Re: Season 2017/2018
I thought you asked a question about nurturing young talent, not money spent on underperformers. As a Liverpool supporter yours is possibly the biggest glass house of all when it comes to buying turkeys.

Now now who mentioned Southampton as yes going on about nurturing young talent Chelsea IMO are the worst culprits as its criminal the way they treat their many talented youngsters they produce.

Re: Season 2017/2018
Well deserved, the real manager of the season with the second lowest budget in the top four divisions.

Re: Season 2017/2018
Perhaps the Emirates Stadium will lend them some seats, several thousand there rarely used.

I read that empty but sold seats still count towards Emirates attendance figures apparently. Not sure if this applies everywhere, i'd have thought bodies through turnstiles is the only meaningful figure.

Re: Season 2017/2018
Plans for a two-week Premier League winter break could be announced before the end of this season.

At last.

Yes hopefully the clubs won't arrange a tour during this 2 week break.
