Sure all 4 of those havent yet played in the Premier and not guaranteed to either Wood rumoured to be on the move, Dobbie at Blackpool and unlikely to be in CPFC 25 man squad next season. I think Barnes .will be sold to a Championship side having done the job he was bought for and recoup the money paid. Vokes could make it abd you forgot the 1 who us in there Glenn Murray.

Indeed. Bit OT but has Dean Hammond set some kind of record getting promoted out of the championship in title winning team for the second time in 3 years with a 3rd place finish in between?

Murray has been gash in the Premiership and will end up somewhere like Birmingham or Bolton next season.

Played in 11 of the 12 Premier League games he could have played in since recovering from injury :shrug:

Wood has been a bit of a bench warmer for Leicester this season so can't see him playing for them in the PL. If he's sent out on loan or up for sale may be worth a punt.

The point wasnt how well they have done in the Prem or how well they will do, I just found it odd that so many average players will all have the oppotunity in the Prem but were considered to be not good enough for the Championship.

Kevin Phillips promoted again! how many times has he been promoted out of this division now?

No because Southampton didn't win the title and we finished 4th last season. Sorry had to be pedantic. As an aside it will have done his career no harm if Leicester decide to loan him/sell him next season to have spent 3 seasons in a row playing regularly for sides that have competed at the top end of the Championship.

No wonder we won it.

Then you look at Southampton's players and wonder how on earth they DIDN'T win it.
