‘Keeping an eye’ Is this a real thing? What does it involve? Is there a plain clothes scout following his every move? What are that looking for? What did he have for dinner? Is this just journalistic bollocks on a quiet news day?
It means he's on a shortlist of targets for that position, I think. And that they're staking out the local Polish shops.
Theo and Redders are not going on the pre-season trip for “fitness” reasons. Should we read into this anything about the future of both?
Oops, Well while I am at it, Mordaunt is a skate so I guess that rules her out. Unless Bazunu puts a word in.
Perraud hasn't gone either so it could well be fitness. I was hoping some more of the youth players would get to go but it seems just Simeu and Edwards.
Same. Should have sent Dibling over there to distract him from the Newcastle interest. Also Ballard and Pearce, seeing as we still haven’t bought in a new striker.
There seems to be a lot of hype for him from Saints fans online. Has anyone here actually seen him or know much about him? I know he has done reasonably well with England youth, was in the squad that just won U19 euros but other than that I don't know where this hype/expectation comes from.
He’s new. And shiny. And unproven which means he could be the next Ronaldo. All potential saints signings are world beaters until they (often) prove otherwise. Delaaaaaaaaaaap.
He scored a great goal on his first team debut against Bournemouth. He’s undoubtedly a talented player with about 30-odd goal involvements for youth sides at City last year. Tall and a good finisher. Like most other players were going for, he’s a very capable age group player who we believe just needs opportunities to play at first team level. He could come in like Tino and meet the requirement immediately, he could be David McGoldrick and not hit the peak until after he’s 30. There’s unknowns but if you watch his play with the age group teams then he’s clearly ready for a greater challenge.
Here we go, Romano has spoken! Think we expected this one. No disrespect Burnley, he’s probably going to want a prem team willing to play him, and with some of his buddies. Depends if city want to sell?
Hopefully no more youngsters gone this summer pls! Gutted about this one though, might be on my own here but think he was the most talented youngster we had from what I’ve seen for Saints and England.
He is incredibly talented, But our best player is Kamari Doyle. So just be happy Doyle is still here, he can sign a professional deal August 1st too.
