eling-saint Posted 27 September, 2009 Posted 27 September, 2009 From the Eastliegh FC Website. A young center half I think. Well thought of but only limited games so far. Following discussions between Ian Baird and Southampton FC - it has been agreed that Aaron Martin will train with SFC during the course of the coming week. It must be stressed that no transfer deal has been discussed or agreed at this stage, and we fully expect Aaron to be part of our squad for our game at Havant & Waterlooville on Saturday.
bpsaint Posted 27 September, 2009 Posted 27 September, 2009 He's a centre half yes,I work with his neighbour and he regularly updates me on his progress.He's been scouted many a time by lower league teams but nothing has come of it thus far,don't think he's quite right for us though.
Jack the Saint Posted 27 September, 2009 Posted 27 September, 2009 He is very very good, played with him at college. Very comfortable on the ball for a centre-half.
Saint_clark Posted 27 September, 2009 Posted 27 September, 2009 Pairing for Jaidi after Trotman goes back to Preston? (I would much rather we sign Trotman but we should have a back up).
Jack the Saint Posted 27 September, 2009 Posted 27 September, 2009 He'd be a long-term option, certainly better than Lanchashire.
Northant Saint Posted 27 September, 2009 Posted 27 September, 2009 He'd be a long-term option, certainly better than Lanchashire. At this stage I don't think we can assume this- you only played with him at college?
Jack the Saint Posted 27 September, 2009 Posted 27 September, 2009 I've seen him play plenty of times and I saw him put in a MOTM performance against Scotland schoolboys at Wembley, he is a very good player and has done a good job for Eastleigh so far. Lanchashire on the other hand is... turd.

Lanchashire on the other hand is... turd. also played with him at college, very good centre half!
Glasgow_Saint Posted 28 September, 2009 Posted 28 September, 2009 also played with him at college, very good centre half! sounds gay
iansouthstander Posted 28 September, 2009 Posted 28 September, 2009 Whatever happened to Raccine . Is he injured ? Did we flog him ? I saw him a couple of times and he looked very promising.
saint_stevo Posted 28 September, 2009 Posted 28 September, 2009 As long as it pushes Lancashire further from the squad, im happy
bpsaint Posted 5 October, 2009 Posted 5 October, 2009 Aaron has been invited back to train with us for a second week,seems we must be considering him as a long term option after all.
John B Posted 5 October, 2009 Posted 5 October, 2009 Whatever happened to Raccine . Is he injured ? Did we flog him ? I saw him a couple of times and he looked very promising. He was injured last season if I remember
krissyboy31 Posted 5 October, 2009 Posted 5 October, 2009 Whatever happened to Raccine . Is he injured ? Did we flog him ? I saw him a couple of times and he looked very promising. Played for the U-18's at West Ham on Saturday (as did Martin for that matter).
The Flying Finn Posted 6 October, 2009 Posted 6 October, 2009 Martin played for Eastleigh at Havant on Saturday.
Master Bates Posted 12 October, 2009 Posted 12 October, 2009 Aaron Martin to be handed debut in the reserves tomorrow after impressing Pardew. Back page of the Echo. He looks very much like someone who lives near me, think it might just be him.

Fitzhugh Fella Posted 12 October, 2009 Posted 12 October, 2009 Martin played for Eastleigh at Havant on Saturday. Yea - I was there. Did not notice him particularly but he is a tall bloke who plays alongside Joe Jordan's son, another giant. Jamie white also played but was subbed. A quietish sort of game.
saint_stevo Posted 12 October, 2009 Posted 12 October, 2009 Good luck to him, hope he does well for the reserves
Master Bates Posted 12 October, 2009 Posted 12 October, 2009 Do you live in Sholing per chance? Yeah, just on the corner of Delius Avenue.
hughieslastminutegoal Posted 13 October, 2009 Posted 13 October, 2009 He's a centre half yes,I work with his neighbour and he regularly updates me on his progress.He's been scouted many a time by lower league teams but nothing has come of it thus far,don't think he's quite right for us though. I don't understand your point of view - if you have to be updated by his neighbour, and therefore haven't seen him yourself, how can you say he isn't quite right for us? Is your neighbour a professional scout? Baird recommended Saints take a look at him, and (whether you rate Baird or not) he was and is a football professional.
suewhistle Posted 13 October, 2009 Posted 13 October, 2009 FYI - he played the full 90 for the reserves against Plymouth.
bpsaint Posted 13 October, 2009 Posted 13 October, 2009 I don't understand your point of view - if you have to be updated by his neighbour, and therefore haven't seen him yourself, how can you say he isn't quite right for us? Because at the time I wrote it I wasn't thinking of him as being a long term option,I was thinking more about the current squad,which I don't know if he's ready for.
SFC Forever Posted 13 October, 2009 Posted 13 October, 2009 FYI - he played the full 90 for the reserves against Plymouth. That could be very good news. Especially if AP is happy with his showing. Having played for Eastleigh he would be able to take some rough treatment I would hope. Maybe Baird can be given a cheer if it all pans out.
saint stu 20 Posted 14 October, 2009 Posted 14 October, 2009 very very good player imo! better than the highly arrogant lanchashire! down to earth lad i think we should give him a chance, better than molyneaux, lancashire and pulis imo!
Jack the Saint Posted 14 October, 2009 Posted 14 October, 2009 Good to see Spud getting where he wants to be.
david in sweden Posted 14 October, 2009 Posted 14 October, 2009 also played with him at college, very good centre half! ..sadly the story our many of our Academy lads. great at junior level, but don't make the transition to the first team.
Saint Charlie Posted 15 October, 2009 Posted 15 October, 2009 Looks like he may sign: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/southampton/8309198.stm Wouldnt be suprised if he did and was then loaned out to L2 to BSq Prem.
Rory Posted 15 October, 2009 Posted 15 October, 2009 I don't know him as a player or person, it would be brilliant if a Southampton lad could make his dream come true. (If he is a Saints fan, that is.)
Redondo Saint Posted 15 October, 2009 Posted 15 October, 2009 I saw him a few times last season at Eastleigh and rate him. Good in the air and on the ground. Similar style and build to Claus - not sure if he drives a car... Definately worth a short term contract.

SFC Forever Posted 15 October, 2009 Posted 15 October, 2009 Now do come on. We all know that for any boy (or girl) born in Southampton there can only ever be one team. Clue :- red and white army
pap Posted 15 October, 2009 Posted 15 October, 2009 Now do come on. We all know that for any boy (or girl) born in Southampton there can only ever be one team. Clue :- red and white army Ah, if only that were true. The amount of pot-hunters wearing Man Utd or Liverpool shirts is disappointing. One of my favourite moments at a game Liverpool vs Saints, 1997/98 season. Took the missus ( scouser and a Red ) to the game with me. She stood with the Saints fans. When Liverpool scored their first goal, a Southampton-born Reds fans, also in the Saints end, starts jumping and cheering. This lasted all of two seconds. All the genuine Saints started turning on him and calling him a "Scouse c**t" ( even though he wasn't ). Stewards had to drag him out sharpish. My missus decided that cheering for any Liverpool goal was a bad idea after that. We ended up winning 3-2
Master Bates Posted 15 October, 2009 Posted 15 October, 2009 I don't know him as a player or person, it would be brilliant if a Southampton lad could make his dream come true. (If he is a Saints fan, that is.) As far as i'm aware he's a Saints fan.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 15 October, 2009 Posted 15 October, 2009 I do dislike it when the players current Manager says "we wouldn't stand in his way if he wants to go". Makes it sound like they're glad to see the back of him!

Makes it sound like they're glad to see the back of him! A bit different going from semi-pro non-league football to the professional ranks (with the areas biggest club), than a so called 'bigger' club in the same division.
bpsaint Posted 15 October, 2009 Posted 15 October, 2009 As far as i'm aware he's a Saints fan. He's a Chelsea fan.
paulwantsapint Posted 15 October, 2009 Posted 15 October, 2009 How legal with FA is it for the boy to sign for saints train with saints but play for saints reserves & spitfires 1st team? Can saints sign him before jan?
bpsaint Posted 15 October, 2009 Posted 15 October, 2009 Interesting question,who was the last English player we signed from a non league club? Anyone know? (I don't btw)
Saint_Jim Posted 15 October, 2009 Posted 15 October, 2009 Would have thought there has been many since the days of Mark Paul
Dalek2003 Posted 15 October, 2009 Posted 15 October, 2009 Lancashire has to go, so a good replacement.
benjii Posted 15 October, 2009 Posted 15 October, 2009 Would have thought there has been many since the days of Mark Paul Was just going to mention him. Legend.
saint_bert Posted 15 October, 2009 Posted 15 October, 2009 Interesting question,who was the last English player we signed from a non league club? Anyone know? (I don't btw) Was it not Molineaux?
Badger Posted 15 October, 2009 Posted 15 October, 2009 Interesting question,who was the last English player we signed from a non league club? Anyone know? (I don't btw) Andy Townsend is probably the last one to make it as a first team regular. Although Gittens is more recent. Paul Moody ? Never a regular.
Badger Posted 15 October, 2009 Posted 15 October, 2009 Was it not Molineaux? Actually you are correct.Its not Moulineux. As much as I detest Everton I don't think they have fallen out the league yet.
Badger Posted 15 October, 2009 Posted 15 October, 2009 Jason Dodd? Bath City wasn't it? On reflection you might be right. Any advances on 1989 ?
Saint_clark Posted 15 October, 2009 Posted 15 October, 2009 English player from non-league? Kyle Critchell. EDIT: just remembered he's welsh. Tit.
david in sweden Posted 16 October, 2009 Posted 16 October, 2009 Lancashire has to go, so a good replacement. If Martin signs, OL may be a good (trial) replacement for Martin at Eastleigh. They would gain someone with League experience, but if Ollie can't impress in Conference South, then he's got no future with Saints.
