Don’t know much about the lad but Southampton have a great youth set-up and he is bound to be an upgrade on McFadzean so for that reason I’m in.
Donald Love came through Man U's youth setup, he had played in the top flight and Europe for them before we signed him
The worst player I've seen play for SAFC. Hardly anyone remembers him. He was an absolute bag of nerves the poor bastard.
Madbob saying Jones,Vokins and Stewart all signed. This is a test of his credentials. Hope he's right,like!
Here's the Southampton fans view of him. I'm expecting a few more replies now.. https://www.not606.com/threads/january-2021-transfer-rumours.388598/page-29
From S.A.F.C. Jake Vokins joins on loan Sunderland AFC is delighted to announce the signing of Jake Vokins. Signing on loan until the end of the 2020-21 season, the left-back moves to the Stadium of Light from Premier League club Southampton. Vokins has made two Premier League appearances to date, earning his debut in July 2020 against Brighton & Hove Albion before starting against Arsenal in the top-flight earlier this week. The 19-year-old has regularly been a part of Ralph Hasenhüttl’s matchday squad this season, whilst also featuring heavily for the South Coast club’s Under-23s. Vokins has also represented England at youth level, turning out for the Three Lions at Under-17, Under-18 and Under-19 level. During his time with the Under-17s, he played alongside the likes of Phil Foden and Jadon Sancho as England reached the UEFA U17 European Championship final. After moving to Wearside, Vokins said: “I want to come here and play games, and help the team to get promoted this season. I feel that I can bring my qualities to the team. I’m good on the ball and I can deliver crosses, so hopefully that allows the team to score more goals. It’s a big club and I can’t wait to get started.” Head Coach Lee Johnson added: “Jake is a bright young player, who is clearly rated by Southampton. Our full-backs have a similar philosophy to him (defensively and in attack) so we think that he will fit in nicely and we are looking forward to working with him. We are grateful to Southampton for entrusting us with his development.”
Funny this. Everyone complaining saying we needed a LB more than a winger. First one announces, LB. Goes to show that people in the media know little about what's happening at the club as this was almost completely out of the blue
Or the red and white! Jake's left peg looks to be a great signing for us, can't wait to see what an improvement he makes at LB
