He's 7 months younger than Liveramento, who was one of Saints better players last season.
12/11/2002 (Liveramento) to 15/07/2004 (Sturge) is 19 months......................

Sorry, I meant 7 months younger than Liveramento when he got his move and broke into the starting line-up.
My point being, if your good enough......
Of course, we dont know yet if he is as good as hoped.
I think thats it. As said above seems to not know a lot but luckily got this one right. I just remember reading a lot about him rejecting our new contract offer and loads of teams interested, but until last night didn't know he signed a new contract.

I look nothing like him!
BHASVIC is purely where I've played a social game of football each Sunday morning for the last don't know how many years. I've never played for BHASVIC the team. I think age is catching up with me, and lately, I'm finding it impossible to play Thursday evenings, Saturday mornings and Sunday mornings, although that's my aim. Sunday's is out at the moment. I think my body may be falling apart, or it's God's way of telling me to pack it in. I'm 66 you know!

I gave up at 28! 63 now. Careful with those knees and ankles.

Crackly knee, achilles tendonitis, asthma, bad back, rheumatic toe, tight calfs (calves?), recovering from dislocated finger after failing to stop a rocket-shot whilst doing my stint in goal, otherwise I'm in tip-top condition!

"Sturge is out of contract at his club on Thursday and is expected to leave as a free agent." ................ is he though? Guess we'll find out on Thursday.
Can't see any advantage to him going to potential relegation fodder Leeds or to never get near the first team Chelsea, but who knows?

Strange, as just a few posts ago he was supposed to have signed a new contract ...

My hunch is that he's signed a new contract, and that this illustrates that that website is dubiously titled.

Exactly. That's what I was hinting at (and see previous posts in this thread).
Or we had an option to extend his contract for 12 months which we took, but still won’t mean he isn’t sold ? The fact the club haven’t exactly made any ‘fanfare’ about a proper deal makes me think all is not well with this one
"For scholars, "Extended" refers to a deal extending to a third year as a scholar. The term "Offer" refers to the scholar being offered a professional contract." - so we've extended his contract as a scholar. Perhaps now he's 18 he doesn't have to stay with that?
No, I don't have a clue either - I hope they're wrong about him walking away for free on Thursday though!
“The rules of the FA state that a player under 17 years of age may not enter into a contract of employment except under a scholarship and a player under 18 years of age may not enter into a full contract of employment.”
He turned 18 three weeks ago. Prior to that he was unable to enter into a full contract of employment. It seems that at the age of 17 he ‘extended’ his scholarship a year as you say according to the document on the Premier League website.
There seems to be a single source for this Sturge to Chelsea story: https://www.90min.com/posts/chelsea-set-to-sign-brighton-youngster-zak-sturge
I’m hoping that this new story is recycled from this one prior to Sturge having his scholarship extended:
http://www.thehardtackle.com/news/2...chelsea-had-two-bids-rejected-for-zak-sturge/
Hopefully the 90min journo has not checked his facts properly. I’m also hoping that only Brighton can offer him a contract (now he is 18) until his scholarship runs out at the end of this coking season.

No youth player goes for free. Southampton even got a share when we sold White. I think it’s anyone under 22?
Yes, I'm hoping it works out something like that! We'll have to see what happens on Thursday (or when the club put details on the website in a few weeks time!
True - but not much. I'd rather hang on to him until he's passed go and we can collect our £50M!
