SuperSAINT Posted 5 July, 2011 Posted 5 July, 2011 Good stuff http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2385691,00.html?
Crab Lungs Posted 5 July, 2011 Posted 5 July, 2011 They still won't admit they are involved in human cloning.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 5 July, 2011 Posted 5 July, 2011 Is that a cardboard cut-out in the photo?!
SaintDonkey Posted 5 July, 2011 Posted 5 July, 2011 They all appear to be rather short - Doddsy is only about five ten and he's towering above most of them.
The9 Posted 5 July, 2011 Posted 5 July, 2011 Is that a cardboard cut-out in the photo?! I was amused, what they've actually done is only taken group pictures - the guy (presumably Matt Crocker) is at the side of the photo for all of them, so he looks really distorted when they blow it up to crop and use as a photo of just him.
The Cat Posted 5 July, 2011 Posted 5 July, 2011 Looking forward to seeing some of them in the pre-season games. I like the fact 11 of them are local lads too.
trousers Posted 5 July, 2011 Posted 5 July, 2011 They all appear to be rather short - Doddsy is only about five ten and he's towering above most of them. About the same average height as the Barcelona Champions League team I reckon.... ;-)
Huntingdon Posted 5 July, 2011 Posted 5 July, 2011 I'm interested to know what's happening with Alberto Seidi He's supposedly very highly rated, he's on our U21 profile, but it still says he's Portugal based This suggests he's not here training with the other lads. If he's not on loan somewhere, then where is he?

If he's not on loan somewhere, then where is he? Because this article is about academy scholars - 16 and 17 year olds to play for the under 18 team in the 2011/12 season. Seidi is already 18 years old (DOB 20/11/92) and that is why he is listed in the under 21 squad.

If he's not on loan somewhere, then where is he? When you say "he's not here training with the other lads" do you mean with the academy or first team? Isn't he simply in the "U21 development squad" which sits between the academy and first team? http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2342370,00.html
Saint Garrett Posted 5 July, 2011 Posted 5 July, 2011 Anyone know anything about any of these lads? Heard Jake Sinclair is apparently a cracking talent but not heard anything about any of the others really ?
egg Posted 5 July, 2011 Posted 5 July, 2011 (edited) Anyone know anything about any of these lads? Heard Jake Sinclair is apparently a cracking talent but not heard anything about any of the others really ? Luke Shaw is very highly rated and apparently on Arsenal's radar. Ward-Prowse is promising too. Other than those two, and Sinclair, I've no knowledge of the players. Edited 5 July, 2011 by egg I type like a spanner
Turkish Posted 5 July, 2011 Posted 5 July, 2011 About the same average height as the Barcelona Champions League team I reckon.... ;-) That would tie in with us being the new Barcelona. Another cracking decision from Cortese to base the averge height of our academy intake on the Barcelona First XI. Fantastic progress, we would never have done this under Lowe.

They are 16 and 17 years old, many will have a few more years of growing left possibly into their 20's. Edited 5 July, 2011 by Matthew Le God
70's Mike Posted 5 July, 2011 Posted 5 July, 2011 Fraser Colmer is a Warsash boy, goes to school with my youngest been at Academy since 12.Great reader of the game, tough as old boots
Matthew Le God Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 Profiles of the new intake... http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2387528,00.html?utm_source=Twitter
Matthew Le God Posted 6 July, 2011 Posted 6 July, 2011 Actually they have already put them all on... http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/Pro-GraduateList/
The Cat Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 They need to do a bit of work on the nicknames: Chambers = Chambo Reed = Reedo Ward-Prowse = Prowsey Gape = Gapey Sinclair = Sincy Sort it out lads, at least try and be a bit original!
Trader Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 Look a good bunch - nicknames need a bit of work though
iansums Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 Bevis Mugabi has to be the best name ever! I noticed how he didn'y have a nickname, clearly doesn't like being called Robert or Butthead.
Huntingdon Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 I remember reading a quote from somewhere, that Scott Sinclair's younger brother Jake was potentially a much better player Didn't realise we had him at Saints though!
The9 Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 I noticed how he didn'y have a nickname, clearly doesn't like being called Robert or Butthead. Exactly my thoughts.
