Southampton's academy is clearly far better than Chelsea's. Why should they sell their best players for a pittance when Chelsea's youth system isn't up to snuff? It's farcical. I hope Southampton get into EPL for that reason alone. Bale,Walcott, Oxlade-Chamberlain, gone for £0,4m combined. Arsenal paid £27m for two of those. How much is Bale worth now? I hope the performance enhancements are trulyl stupendous. Do you think this is a way for Glazers to pay their debts? Because I they should sell their NFL franchise to pay their debts off.
