Jaw I know, see my post a couple above. Seems like a lack of ideas/scouting from everyone else to asset strip them when if they'd had a bit of the nous and youth team scouting coaching that Southampton had, they wouldn't have to pay over the odds for their product.
If you believe wiki Schneiderlin came through the ranks at Strsbourg, first team he signed professional terms with, been at Southampton since 2008. I also get confused with homegrown and youth team products, gets complicated in a hurry with all the 16yr olds moving countries and teams
