Fitzhugh Fella Posted 10 January, 2013 Share Posted 10 January, 2013 from Sparsholt College Football Academy. Nehemie was released by Palace last summer but following his enrolment at Sparsholt he caught the eye of Saints and has signed a full-time scholarship arrangement up to 2014. He is a left-sided player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 10 January, 2013 Share Posted 10 January, 2013 (edited) He sounds young, hungry, and is bound to improve. He has a young skeletal body though, we need to nuture him at the club, with the excellent medical and coaching staff, plus the recruitment department lead by Paul Mitchell.

All overseen by Les Reed who once wrote the FA coaching manual dontcha know. If there is anyone who can nuture him and enable this young, hungry player who is guarenteed to improve, its him.

With Hunter as well we do have a well respected coaching setup, plus some ex Saints in Dodd and Williams which is good to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 10 January, 2013 Author Share Posted 10 January, 2013 There is a photo in the Echo of him signing which includes Neil Benson who is the manager of Sparsholt Football Academy. Says Neil was once in Saints academy. Apparently Isaac has already trained with the club and been a guest at a couple of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 10 January, 2013 Share Posted 10 January, 2013 Pretty sure he has also played some U18 games already - I have seen him name in the reports. He has indeed - Matt Targett getting a run of games for the u21's gave Nehemie a chance to start several U18 games. I saw him first hand in Manchester at the Trafford Training Centre and he didn't look out of place. Has a long way to go but with Shaw now a staple of the first team and Targett taking his opportunity for the u21's this is a good opportunity for Nehemie.

Saint Without a Halo Posted 10 January, 2013 Share Posted 10 January, 2013 Not good enough for Palace not good enough for Saints.

Paul Chuckle Posted 10 January, 2013 Share Posted 10 January, 2013 Know the scout who spotted him and recommended him to the club. He was released by Palace as they have an England School boy in same position and didn't want to block his path. He will slot in to the position left by Luke Shaw stepping up to first team squad.
