Hard about this, it's so strange because at the time it was probably the right decision to keep Stewie, but in hindsight, Gareth Southgate you absolute joke.

I know, I hear tons of them stories about us, makes you wonder what some of our scouts were playing at.

I still don't understand why it took so long to push Bale forward, every report seemed to mention his as having a great left foot, pace to burn, decent strength and being suspect defensively.

Lol, no I didn't know that, knew we were offered Nani before he joined Man U though which is again ridiculous.

He was hit and miss and rather inconsistent going forward wasn't he? The pace and strength helped him in defence as a left back, which is where he found his trade originally at Spurs too.

You can afford it in more advanced positions IMO though, losing the ball in the oppositions 3rd is much better than losing it in your own after all. He came through the Saints academy as a LB and raped us there so I'm sure he had potential there, might just be an in hindsight moment.

The saints academy is fucking gold.

So true, they've had a true golden generation this passed 5/6 years of products have been great, even people like Surman who haven't been great have still proved themselves very able footballers.

It looks like they've got another group ready to burst through too in the next few years, it's incredible.

Yep, was about to mention those ones myself, as their are some who just call them one hit wanders. Makes you think "Wonder where they'd be if they kept them." though right? I could see them being in Spurs' position myself. Good enough with the team they made themselves to get up to the 5th/6th places, earn themselves enough money because of that high spot, do well in the cups to get more money to invest in more good players, and then start to challenge for 4th etc.
