Dusic Posted July 8 Posted July 8 @SuperSAINT any of the new scholars highly rated in particular, aside from the two new signings?

Big fan of the Jake Vallance story, coming from Basingstoke. Klevi & Wyatt will be worth keeping an eye on. Hope they all stay injury free. 2

disconnect Posted July 28 Posted July 28 7 hours ago, Matthew Le God said: New signing possibly... According to Transfermarkt he played 3 games for the u18 last season (possibly as part of a prolonged trial)? Hopefully he’s more Livramento than Simeu (who did seem fairly decent too tbf)
SuperSAINT Posted July 28 Posted July 28 18 hours ago, Matthew Le God said: New signing possibly... Yeah, think he trialled and then loaned-leading-to-pro kind of deal.

Matthew Le God Posted July 29 Posted July 29 (edited) If he ends up as good in goal as his dad was at Rugby, we'll have a star in our hands. Hopefully, he avoids his dad's injury record... Edited July 29 by Matthew Le God

I wonder why that is? Bob Charles, born in Bursledon, was an England Youth 'Keeper (I think) then played 26 games in the 1959/60 season, so a regular for one season. Gerry Gurr was another young 'keeper that came through the ranks after signing on from Guildford City. Both of these are quite tenuous and it does seem that the club can develop lots of talented outfield players but not a decent 'keeper. 1

I wonder why that is? More recently (a bit) Michael Poke probably got the closest, but in the end only made 4 apps. Played regularly for Torquay. Basically though the answer is no. We've never done particularly well with CBs either. 1
spyinthesky Posted July 30 Posted July 30 Centre Backs ..........Malcolm Waldron, Reuben Agboola perhaps??

Agboola particularly was never that successful (at Saints), 90 apps. I remember Malc well, but like I said he signed pro over 50 years ago (74) and is nearly as old as me. 1

Lallana’s sprog aside, any other sleb progeny in our ranks?

Dusic Posted Tuesday at 21:58 Posted Tuesday at 21:58 I reckon some kind of disciplinary issue otherwise makes no sense. If you want more senior football then just go out on loan. There is surely more to it 8mths into a 3.5yr deal. But seems no real loss.

Always hard to tell and we are of course speculating, but I did note there were no pleasantries in the article.

Over land and sea Posted Wednesday at 20:41 Author Posted Wednesday at 20:41 The EFL 25 man squads have been announced. EFL squads 25-26 No surprises in the main squad, perhaps other than Ben Reeves' omission. I thought if we had 25 eligible players we had to name them all but seemingly not. The out on loan over 21s (Bella-Kotchap, Bree, Brereton, Ramsdale, Smallbone, Sugawara, Taylor and Wright) are all omitted (which, of course, was (in many cases) one of the reasons to send them out on loan). There are 16 home grown players. In Squad Players (* = home grown) Archer, Cameron Desmond* Armstrong, Adam James* Ayodele-Aribo, Joseph* Azaz, Finn Isaac* Bazunu, Gavin* Charles, Shea Emmanuel* Damascena Santos, Welington Downes, Flynn* Edozie, Samuel Ikechukwu* Edwards, Ronnie Lee* Fellows, Tom Allen* Fraser, Ryan Harwood-Bellis, Taylor* Jander, Casper Kristensen, Elias Jelert Long, George Martin* Manning, Ryan Phelim* Matsuki, Kuryu McCarthy, Alex Simon* Rasmussen, Mads Roerslev Stephens, Jack* Stewart, Ross Cameron Weschenfelder Scienza, Leonardo Wood-Gordon, Nathan Dean Joshua* The under 21 list contains contracted players only (no scholars). All the out on loan U21s are listed (as usual). The only think to note is that Harry Gathercole and Korban McMullan are listed - I wasn't aware they had signed pro contracts so perhaps they will be announced shortly. Under 21 Contract players Akachukwu, Romeo Armitage, Will Awe, Zachariah Boot, Nathanael Joshua Asiimwe Bragg, Cameron Roger Charles, Brandon Davis Daley, Aston Davis, Sonnie Kelvin Dipepa, Baylee Jack Dobson-Ventura, Tommy Eric Downs, Damion Lamar Ehibhatiomhan, Princewill Omonefe Fisher, Hugo Dov Fry, Max Joseph Gathercole, Harry John Jeffries, Josh David Kakay, Sutura Kayi Sanda, Joachim Larios Lopez, Juan McMullan, Korban James Merry, William George Moody, Dylan Lewis Moore, Jayden James O'Brien-Whitmarsh, Joseph Paul Ofuyaekpone-Shombe, Khiani Hrukti Toju Okunola, Abdulhalim Olarewaju Olasubomi Oyekunle, Adetokunbo Adewale Ayomide Quarshie, Joshua Robinson, Jay Steven Rohart-Brown, Thierry David Sesay, Jonathan Moses Momoh Sillah Dibaga, Sufianu Tabares, Samuel Ethan Takaoka, Rento Traore, Daouda Whittaker, Rory Innes Williams, Barnaby Joe There are a further 19 scholars not listed as they are not contracted. 3
