I'm not one to nitpick but seeing as he is a nipper who is starting to receive some attention he'd probably be grateful to see his name spelt correctly - it is Harrison Reed not Harrison Read.

 

Nitpicking is absolutely allowed. Had already realised this and will rectify asap.

But none of yours sound like an actual vintage Btitish motor car....

 

:mcinnes:

 

My surname is actually Morris...so had this all of my life.

 

Find your nickname offensive and it has stirred up some painful memories.

 

Thanks.

This is becoming a bit weird, how many articles have there been on the Academy. I realise there is a degree of syndication but the fact that so may mouthpieces are actually publishing all this Saints positivity just feels, well weird. The young lads themselves must feel chuffed. Despite some believing that this is not good as it will attract attention as if professional scouts from around the country didint already know how good we are. I believe this level of publicity can only be a good thing. These sorts of stories tend to kick start a self fulfilling prophecy, all of these lads have signed pro forms and are comitted to Saints, other youngsters will want to follow.

Of course it's all good news, but this isn't an article as such, just a blog written by a Saints fan.

Two things about this. 1) Our U21s keep losing (probably as 4 of their better likely teammates are playing for the firsts, with a couple more involved this week) and 2) who the hell thinks professional scouts don't already know Saints (an Elite-graded Academy) are any good ? Seriously, can you imagine a scout saying to the first team manager that he's going to pop down to watch one of Saints Academy teams on the off-chance there's a player no-one knows about ? Arsene Wenger had a database of all promising African under 13 players at Arsenal more than ten years ago, which gives you an idea of the kind of detailed knowledge there is out there. NO-ONE is "not aware" of any Saints Academy players' existence or abilities.
