I must be getting old, because I don't understand a word of that.

Is this "kid speak"?

i thought i was down with the kids until i tried to read this! My interpretation is that he is a very good player and will want a good wage?

Translation

Shenton is a very good player, my friend. He will easily earn a lot of money through what he does

I can't convince myself to get excited about Atkins, I've seen him look like a really bad centre on occasions.

I could imagine Atkins being a Freddie-esque revelation in the second row. But not a great centre IMO.

Just tyring me new found language after watching a programme on MTV lol it took me a while to understand what they were saying as well

In all seriousness i would have Shenton over Atkins; Atkins has the raw power but Shenton has the ability to fit into the saints team and to develop into a world class centre

If there was an possibility whatsoever that Saints could get Shenton, then we should be going all out for the guy. Top prospect at centre and there aren't too many of those about.

If we were going to go after a young English centre I'd prefer us to go after Shenton.

Me too, looks like he could be a future England centre.
