Saints Stuff

Ralph haters take note - he was key in convincing Tino to sign for us.

 

Didn’t get past the first paragraph where they mention Klopp would be keeping a keen eye on him

 

Was going to say the same. They make no difference but these kind of articles really piss me off.

 

I guess he will be saying that if Tino can play at 18………

 

Just how good is he?

 

Osprey is probably the man who knows.

 

Can’t be mad at it. We’re using the promise of opportunity to take the best young talent from other clubs. Others will be doing it with ours too. Cuts both ways. I’d much rather that these players bet on themselves and left to play instead of sitting in B/U18s teams until they get released on the back of a few hit and miss loans. Kegs was for sure talked about as a great prospect but, as we all know, that leap to first team is hard. It’s also a big risk for a manager to throw those young players in and moreso at a PL level.

 

Can only go by what I have read and seen about him, has put in some useful appearances at all levels but too early to say how good he could be. A dozen appearances at PL 2 level isn't a great guide.

That's a very reasonable and unbiased response SiK. Are you really a football fan?

From the Beeb...

"Southampton are interested in signing Blackburn Rovers and Chile striker Ben Brereton Diaz. Sevilla have been leading the race to sign the 22-year-old so far."

 

Ignore.

 

Yeah, but what does he know?

 

Ralph to Man Utd rumours would be funny.

 

Always a hero to me...those were the best years (in my time supporting Saints).
