5mil for a player with it all to prove is a lot. Jenas, Dyer, Bramble, Jeffers, Wright, Upson, Pennant, Kirkland all went for big money as young players, and its debatable how many are successful, and WHERE they are successful now.
Any player is a risk, but the benefit of the english player is they maintain their value a little better.

Jeffers was a great signing at a great discount

Dyer and Jenas are still decent players. Jenas payed his fee of and profit. pennant i still beleive would and should have been goven a chance if he wasnt messed in hte head. He to this day still wrecks of raw talent and i wish we had kept him.Upson could slot into most teams in Englands defence. I would welcome him back here with open arms. Kirkland also is doing wonderful things this year, and if he can stay injury free, i beleive he will be the future of Englands GK problems.
I watch Rooney play for Manchester and it really makes me want to gamble on every youth player out there. I mean i hate him cause he plays for Manure but at 19 he is there team. He came off the bench against Southampton and there is nothing he cant do. What if we sign 10 youth players and just 1 turns out to be him. Of corse you would be stocked. I say lets gamble, not big money, but lets take risks

I think 5 mil is a lot for a kid.A lot for us.One can get a decent expirienced played for that money.

Yeah but do we play to be decent hell no. I would rather take a chance and crash and burn then to slowly melt away. "it is better to burn up then to fade away" as Neil Young once said

Arsenal and Liverpool will lead the chase for Southampton's 16-year-old winger Theo Walcott if the south-coast club falter in their ambitions to rejoin the Premiership next season. (The Times)

Agree with that (apart from the Neil Young rambling :wink: ). What kind of experienced player would improve us for £5m? Barely one, whereas this guy, if you have seen him, is a bit special.

He's a very, very, very fast attacking midfielder. Plays wide mostly, but at this stage of his career, that's just where he is being played, not necessarilywhere he'll end up. Great skills and, most importantly in someone so young, not afraid to be direct and ignore those around him when it opens up infront.
Stats? He's a kid and it's not Football Manager.

i think by stats he meant more games played, goals scored, assists etc.
He's come off the bench in 7 games according to the sky sports article, but he's only a kid so although he's exciting to watch, he hasn't really had that great an impact on the outcome of games.
he's one for the future for sure, but don't expect too much at the moment.

whs
Although, that's what i'm saying, stats are pointless at this stage. He's just burst into the first team at 16. He's got no previous.

Walcott has scored in his last two matches for Southampton and is starting to show his talent. Scored against Millwall today and made one goal aswell.
