He was at Southamptons Academy and someone decided he wasn’t good enough - not convinced he’s suddenly acquired his technical ability , football brain since then , back in Guernsey As Southampton you’d be gutted I was confused too.

Port Said Red Posted September 4, 2022 Report Share Posted September 4, 2022 Do we think he might get moved up an age group at international level this time around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted September 4, 2022 Report Share Posted September 4, 2022 7 minutes ago, Port Said Red said: Do we think he might get moved up an age group at international level this time around? Possible. Midfielders in U21 squad (assume you mean that level) last time were: Curtis Jones (I think he’s been injured) Morgan Gibbs-White (now overage?) James Garner Jacob Ramsey Tommy Doyle Harvey Elliott James McAtee He’s playing at the same level as Doyle/McAtee and has played more games. The fact they’re Man City loanees probably gives them an advantage, but I’d say he’s in with a shot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes a change from Saints taking lots of youngsters from the area ( I think) before we properly got our house in order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to which clubs, and for how much? Let's be honest ,there is nobody on here that has the slightest idea? Lets just enjoy watching them play for our club...and fate will dictate what happens to their careers? I find the whole fixation as boring As ****! I find all the "enjoy him whilst he's here" stuff you tend to get on these two players rather small time. Luckily the club don't share that mentality right now otherwise we'd have lost both in the summer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still qualifies for the U19s but I'd guess they'd move him up to U20s if he's still in the international set up. At some point he'd have to move to the Premier League to go beyond that imo.

I haven't followed it that closely as regards to where players play at club level recently, but there was a time when U21s almost all seemed to come from the Championship. Was Brennan Johnson playing U21s last season? Tomori? If so I don't think it's a barrier, Southgate has been quoted saying he would even pick senior team players from the Championship if he thought they were good enough 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like he's doing this in League two or one, he's dictating the play and changing the momentum and transitions etc in the championship. Will be very proud to watch him in the premier League one day. On another note, Weimanns running looks like he's in an action film; like his life depends on it! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He`s been a bit out of sorts the last couple of games and perhaps he was afraid he would be sold (even though he`s said he doesn`t want to be) if a ridiculous offer that the club couldn`t turn down came in. I thought the same. I don't think he wanted to go this season but as you say was worried he could be sold anyway. They were talking about him in glowing terms on the EFL show last night so the pressure is still there but at least there is some breathing space until January. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to bang on about this - again - Scott's contributions for our first two goals yesterday were superb. Brave, mature and classy. He typifies everything about our successful transformation this season. In three words. Always. Going. Forward.

Nice! Scott also made a headed clearance in the first phase (hell, I'm getting the hang of this). In the second phase Scott and Conway walked their way out of troubl, then came the showstopper, Weimann took AS's pass tight on the right touchline over halfway, before turning inside and making a beautiful crossfield pass to Nahki for the coup de grace. Sublime. PS Apologies, didn't read your message properly before writing this. Edited September 4, 2022 by Curr Avon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
