I agree to a degree but stuff like this makes it much harder for us to keep players like

Redmond.

Ali and Ings are not bad players. Ali in particular looks talented. However, if you were to look at who has been the standout performers internationally at U21 level for the last 2 years Redmond would probably come top (or very close to top) of the list. That is what should get you into consideration for the full squad.

as it is he knows that if he moves to somewhere like Liverpool or Spurs he will probably get called up straight away.

Tw*ts like Hodgson with his big club bias therefore harm our club because they make players think they need to move to play for England. He only picked all the Southampton players last season because the media basically made it impossible for him not too.

I notice Llalana comes back into the squad despite the fact he'd done nothing all season for Liverpool and is not even playing most games.
