Andy Durman Posted 3 September, 2011 Posted 3 September, 2011 I have become friends with a top young prospect from Austria. He wants to sign for Saints. Who can I speak to or make contact with at Saints to see if Saints might want to take him. Believe me this attacker will make a big impact
Pilchards Posted 3 September, 2011 Posted 3 September, 2011 Drive him to the St Mary's doorstep with a football and do some keepy uppy's until someone spots him! If that fails then write to the club with the title attn: Youth coaches. Good luck & well done for doing this.
hutch Posted 3 September, 2011 Posted 3 September, 2011 Send the club a copy of his family tree. Make sure George Weah's in it somewhere.
Andy Durman Posted 3 September, 2011 Author Posted 3 September, 2011 I have emailed Saints but I've received nothing yet. A little frustrated because I know my football.
Window Cleaner Posted 3 September, 2011 Posted 3 September, 2011 (edited) I have emailed Saints but I've received nothing yet. A little frustrated because I know my football. is there not a description of the procedure for obtaining a trial in the U21 squad section on the OS? yep looked at that, basically it says if you're good enough we'll know about it. Edited 3 September, 2011 by Window Cleaner
Andy Durman Posted 3 September, 2011 Author Posted 3 September, 2011 I'm quite sure they know of him. Just not sure if they know he wants to play for Saints
popyto Posted 3 September, 2011 Posted 3 September, 2011 I would have thought the first thing to do would be get him an agent sorted, though they are bottom feeding pond life they are very handy, If he has one already get him to do his job and put together some footage of the youngster and get that to the clubs scouts. To be honest I have no real Idea how it works in football, but in media most companies publishers wont touch scripts or manuscripts that are just sent in. If this player is attached to some other club could cause issues.

Monk Posted 3 September, 2011 Posted 3 September, 2011 I suggest you contact Terry Moore, I can not send PM's, so go through the club website to retrieve info.
cadnam saint Posted 3 September, 2011 Posted 3 September, 2011 I have a mate who is a FIFA agent, He may be able to offer some advice.

Ohio Saint Posted 3 September, 2011 Posted 3 September, 2011 I think you should tell Simon Cowell about this great new prospect! Can he sing?
SimonRichards Posted 3 September, 2011 Posted 3 September, 2011 Where in Austria is he based? Is he attached to any clubs over there? What level of football has he played at?
Window Cleaner Posted 3 September, 2011 Posted 3 September, 2011 I'm quite sure they know of him. Just not sure if they know he wants to play for Saints wouldn't make any difference to them, if they've seen the player or had reports about him if they're interested they'll let him know. I know how it works, did some local league scouting for the Verts at one time.
thorpie the sinner Posted 3 September, 2011 Posted 3 September, 2011 Is it Alpine? lol, Good god no!!!
Legod Third Coming Posted 3 September, 2011 Posted 3 September, 2011 lol, Good god no!!! Er, think about it... Alps signs for the youth team. Hardly then likely to come on here and complain about the performance/formation/Chairman/manager... is he???
revolution saint Posted 3 September, 2011 Posted 3 September, 2011 Er, think about it... Alps signs for the youth team. Hardly then likely to come on here and complain about the performance/formation/Chairman/manager... is he??? No, but he'd moan that he wasn't on the bus, or the bus wasn't a coach, or a plane or a space rocket.......only joking alps

sammysaint Posted 3 September, 2011 Posted 3 September, 2011 If for real he should have a agent if not get him one who can offer him a chance if not get him over here play for a non league team and work his way up, i would suggest a VCS team and then if hes good enough he would stand out at that level, and within 2/3 training sessions would get a game then email saying this players playing this day come have a look. My mate plays non league and had a piece about him in the pink other day, hes only 21 and has been looked at by brighton and bmouth before.
HornseySaintsFan Posted 3 September, 2011 Posted 3 September, 2011 i'm a really good footballer and i dream of playing for saints. i write to saints everyday, but i haven't heard back. i don't understand as i know my football.
Charlie Wayman Posted 3 September, 2011 Posted 3 September, 2011 Look Andy, rest assured EVERY kid in Europe who can kick a ball who is over the age of 4 has been scouted and re-scouted, trialed and re-trialed. Your mate would not have been missed, just tell him he's no good and put him out of his flippin' misery. The big scouts scene of Europe would have found the last drop of juice in every lemon.
skintsaint Posted 3 September, 2011 Posted 3 September, 2011 you need to upload a youtube clip and send that in.

Straight from the mouth of Arsene Wenger :-)

SaintNeil90 Posted 3 September, 2011 Posted 3 September, 2011 Ha Love how the original poster has kept his name etc quiet. Are you playing Cortese's 'we do business quietly' method. Just name him, quite likely they wont take you seriously anyway.
Patrick Bateman Posted 3 September, 2011 Posted 3 September, 2011 Dear Nicholas Courtazy, I am humbly writing you as I have many talent on offer which benefit your esteemed soccer ball football club very muchly. Thank you to send me 50,000,000 Ugandan dollar to book flight to give you talent show at Saint James stadiums. Thank you please, Mr ass-piring soccerballer

There are always late developers coming through - look at Smalling about to become an England international.
Bad Wolf Posted 3 September, 2011 Posted 3 September, 2011 Yeah I vaguely remember this happening to us some years back...
Golac's Cunning Stunts Posted 3 September, 2011 Posted 3 September, 2011 Get him on the next series of Wayne Rooney Street Striker. If he does well on that and wears an "I love Nicola Cortese" T-shirt, I can't see how he would fail to get picked up. Make sure you have signed him up to a contract so that you receive your fair share of the spoils as he inevitably rises to stardom to become the next Messi.
Window Cleaner Posted 3 September, 2011 Posted 3 September, 2011 There are always late developers coming through - look at Smalling about to become an England international. Smalling was with Millwall at a young age, they turfed him out because they didn't think he'd make the grade I guess,then he got better in the lower leagues. Wasn't missed at the start, scouting did it's job,I guess Millwall's youth coaches didn't though. Saints have turfed plenty out at academy or youth level that we now wish they hadn't.

CityRanger Posted 3 September, 2011 Posted 3 September, 2011 Many many yrs ago my Grandfather told Saints of a young scottish prospect he heard when on holiday "back home" called Ray Stewart. Lawrie wrote back saying get him here and we'll give him a trial but he wasn't in a position to do that. Ray went on to play 345 times for West Ham.
Golac's Iron Gonads Posted 3 September, 2011 Posted 3 September, 2011 My old man contacted Saints about a young forward playing for Hayes in the mid 90s, he got a reply saying thanks and that the player had been looked at and was not considered good enough, Jason Roberts was his name. Probably still not good enough.

I did 40 odd the other week, although the ball was a bit flat. I also have an austrian mate who can do about 35.

Dunno, if you can travel a full pitch length,turn and come all the way back without the ball touching the ground you might get on the bench for the second team for my local U13s though,provided of course you're under 13.
buctootim Posted 3 September, 2011 Posted 3 September, 2011 I know a life long Saints fan whose son was very promising. Trials for two top five clubs and eventually signed to a lower prem side. She tried to him a trial at Saints but was always told, "if we are interested our scouts will pick him up". Maybe they were right, he never did make it.
Andy Durman Posted 3 September, 2011 Author Posted 3 September, 2011 Thanks to those people who have given me some useful information. I hope that this player (aged 22) can be revealed in January 2012. He will certainly take the work load off Lambert's shoulders. Fingers crossed
Scudamore Posted 3 September, 2011 Posted 3 September, 2011 Thanks to those people who have given me some useful information. I hope that this player (aged 22) can be revealed in January 2012. He will certainly take the work load off Lambert's shoulders. Fingers crossed Rickie already has a PA
