Saint Charlie Posted 29 March, 2011 Share Posted 29 March, 2011 Saints Academy player is playing for AFCB in a friendly Vs Reading today. Been told he can look for a pro contract elsewhere apparantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintDonkey Posted 29 March, 2011 Share Posted 29 March, 2011 Just noticed that Jordace Holder-Spooner (or at least the spoonerism Jorder Hordace-Spooner) is currently playing for the Cherries in a friendly against Reading. Anyone know whether this is a sign of something more permanent in the offing or if we're just helping our neighbours out? Be really disappointed if we are losing him - I was looking forwards to seeing Holder-Spooner crammed on the back of a shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 29 March, 2011 Author Share Posted 29 March, 2011 Sauce? (for the 'been told he can look for a new contract' not 'currently playing for the Cherries') Someone on twitter who seemed to know. Seems plausible though - not really any other reason for him to be playing unless they were thinking of loaning him and the window is shut so not going to be that.

CWD Posted 29 March, 2011 Share Posted 29 March, 2011 Seems strange when we are running a 'Development Squad' that a young lad would be released before the end of the season. Off field troubles perhaps? ala Nile Ranger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think he has been released - he has been told he will be/is likely to be at the end of the season and Saints are helping to fix him up with another club.

That was Ward-Prowse. Ward-Prowse, Jake Sinclair and Jordan Turnbull also were featured on the OS as training with the first team a while back. I think Ward-Prowse has a pro deal and has been in the matchday squad (but not on the bench) a couple of times this season.

SuperMikey Posted 29 March, 2011 Share Posted 29 March, 2011 He looks good from the academy highlights, but if we feel he's surplus to requirements then good luck to him. Sure he'll be a good pro.

Littlelat17 Posted 29 March, 2011 Share Posted 29 March, 2011 I know Ryan Tafazolli wont be offered a new contract when his contract runs out in June. He's been on loan at Salisbury City who were trying to sort out a deal with Saints to allow him to sign until the end of the season (his loan was due to expire 3 games before the end of the season) but injury put paid to that. Will be interesting to see who Adkins rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not even Gobern.Bart has at least another year I think, signed a new contract last summer. I heard the other day that Morgan can leave for free if we don't get promoted,came from someone around his home town, might be crap though.

labibs Posted 29 March, 2011 Share Posted 29 March, 2011 have you read some of the garbage there chatting on that site Just scanned through it. Ridiculous! Why do so many fans of other clubs really, really hate us? Are we that arrogant? I know some on here think that we should win every game 10-0 in this division, but the majority of fans I meet are quite realistic about how good we actually are. I love them all instantly saying they should put in a bid for Fonte as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersonic Posted 29 March, 2011 Share Posted 29 March, 2011 I can confirm the rumor made up by the Palarse bloke is ********.... As for Holder-Spooner, he's a good player, yes, and very quick, but I think his temperament may let him down. I've seen him a few times, and he gets wound up very easily. I distinctly remember seeing him at Basingstoke in a pre-season friendly, he was fouled (nothing bad, but a as a winger, striker you'd expect to get 3 or 4 of those type of challenge a match) he instantly got up and wanted to fight the bloke, then spent the next 10 minutes tryign to kick lumps out of him....He eventually got subbed before he got sent off!

teacher Posted 29 March, 2011 Share Posted 29 March, 2011 I taught Jordace for 4 years at school and although his attitude was not always the greatest all he talked about was football! I still say he has a bright future in the game and think we may regret releasing him if true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know but it certainly wouldn't be the first time a promising player has been hoicked out of the academy for unruliness. Nile Ranger being the classic example.

Even a jealous skate (well, acts like one) gets shouted down, too I work in a restaurant and when we laid off a young lad he told all of his mates that we were going under and couldn't afford to pay him. In reality he was just useless. I think he was the one i sat next to who just laughed the entire way through a 1 min silence at st marys before kick off. Jack Sinclair is the one to watch. Jake.
