Bewildered Posted 7 August, 2014 Posted 7 August, 2014 Tyreke Johnson @tyreke98 39m Joined Southampton on a 4year deal,would like to thank Swindon for all the opportunities given A player from Swindon's academy tweeted that he has joined Southampton today, perhaps this is the player having a medical today as mentioned by K Billy?
Sour Mash Posted 7 August, 2014 Posted 7 August, 2014 A player from Swindon's academy tweeted that he has joined Southampton today, perhaps this is the player having a medical today as mentioned by K Billy? That's got to be a wind up, no-way is that a real name.
The Cat Posted 7 August, 2014 Posted 7 August, 2014 That's got to be a wind up, no-way is that a real name. It is a real name. Looks a good footballer too http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2171936/highlights/50465395
BARCELONASAINT Posted 7 August, 2014 Posted 7 August, 2014 Tyreke Johnson, who is being touted by many within the Swindon footballing fraternity to have a bright future in the game, showed glimpses of his talent. He went on a surging run and it was his blocked cross that earned the corner that would provide Swindon with their best chance of the half. ......This from a report last year.
The Cat Posted 7 August, 2014 Posted 7 August, 2014 Check the run on that video at 1:36. Takes it round virtually the whole team before scoring.
shurlock Posted 7 August, 2014 Posted 7 August, 2014 That's got to be a wind up, no-way is that a real name. Left winger for their youth team.
buctootim Posted 7 August, 2014 Posted 7 August, 2014 Can see the club stipulating he has to stay away from twitter.... https://twitter.com/tyreke98/status/349207901132439552

Turkish Posted 7 August, 2014 Posted 7 August, 2014 Just opened that in a crowded gym. Cheers Timothy. Are you one of those irritating f*cks that hog the bench press or squat rack playing on their phones whilst others are queuing for them?

Raging Bull Posted 7 August, 2014 Posted 7 August, 2014 Are you one of those irritating f*cks that hog the bench press or squat rack playing on their phones whilst others are queuing for them? Anyone curling in the squat rack should be banned from picking up a weight for a month as well. Makes me wanna do a special squat in their favorite gym shoes
saintbletch Posted 7 August, 2014 Posted 7 August, 2014 Just opened that in a crowded gym. Cheers Timothy. And just done the same in the eating area at Euston station. Thanks BTT. I suppose I was warned...
Convict Colony Posted 7 August, 2014 Posted 7 August, 2014 That's got to be a wind up, no-way is that a real name. As opposed to one of our youth team being called Armani
stardustonmyfeet Posted 7 August, 2014 Posted 7 August, 2014 Can see the club stipulating he has to stay away from twitter.... Ever heard of the expression NSFW?
shurlock Posted 7 August, 2014 Posted 7 August, 2014 As opposed to one of our youth team being called Armani The name 'Mugabe' also causes many a sniggér among the mongboard's dimmer members.
david in sweden Posted 7 August, 2014 Posted 7 August, 2014 Who comes up with these names!? well that's a fair question,Colin..... but many years ago.... a colleague (who was of Afro-American decent) told me that some parents try to " create " new names for their children, thus avoiding many traditional Caucasian names that are popular in USA and some other countries. Think you'll find that there are quite a lot of " created names " around ......if you look a bit harder.
sadoldgit Posted 7 August, 2014 Posted 7 August, 2014 You guys might remember a Johnny Cash song where a guy was named "Sue" to help toughen him up. Perhaps, in that vein, some should call their son T wat?"
Minty Posted 7 August, 2014 Posted 7 August, 2014 He was possibly one of the trialists in our recent U-18 pre-season games?

SuperSAINT Posted 30 October, 2015 Posted 30 October, 2015 Had to dig deep into the archives to find this thread. The kid seems to be doing well for himself - Good to see.
suewhistle Posted 30 October, 2015 Posted 30 October, 2015 Ah yes, watched the game and I noticed him when he came on as sub. Blistering pace, but he seemed to have a bit about him, and some good passing too. I made a mental note to keep an eye open for him. I believe he's sixteen turning 17 soon.
Maggie May Posted 30 October, 2015 Posted 30 October, 2015 Had to dig deep into the archives to find this thread. The kid seems to be doing well for himself - Good to see. At 16 he shows more composure and intelligence on camera than Raheem Sterling. Has anyone seen a Sterling interview? My God – unintelligible. It's like he finds it difficult to talk. Last week he said this: "I get quite a bit of chances". ?????
david in sweden Posted 30 October, 2015 Posted 30 October, 2015 Of course, it's great to see young talents emerging ....and the U18 squad has a few more now.... (it's not every season that produces a Bale, Oxlade-Chamberlain or Shaw.) but Johnson .....together with Olomola and Calum Slattery look really good prospects at this age group.... .......remains to be seen if they make it to the First Team squad in a couple of years ...or "burn-out " and end up in the National League (South )
SuperSAINT Posted 31 October, 2015 Posted 31 October, 2015 Got a goal & an assist in a 3-0 win earlier today.
SuperSAINT Posted 3 November, 2015 Posted 3 November, 2015 Southampton FC @SouthamptonFC We're pleased to announce that youngster Tyreke Johnson has signed his first professional contract with #SaintsFC.
Convict Colony Posted 3 November, 2015 Posted 3 November, 2015 Oldest looking 17 year old in history!! you must be fishing or never heard of Joseph Minala
Minsk Posted 3 November, 2015 Posted 3 November, 2015 Oldest looking 17 year old in history!! I thought something very similar!
Doctoroncall Posted 3 November, 2015 Posted 3 November, 2015 Southampton FC @SouthamptonFC We're pleased to announce that youngster Tyreke Johnson has signed his first professional contract with #SaintsFC. Excellent news... got a feeling this kid is going to make it.
CB Fry Posted 3 November, 2015 Posted 3 November, 2015 Oldest looking 17 year old in history!! He looks like a 36 year old insurance salesman.
shurlock Posted 3 November, 2015 Posted 3 November, 2015 He looks like a 36 year old insurance salesman. Halifax Man has a rightful heir.
CB Fry Posted 3 November, 2015 Posted 3 November, 2015 Halifax Man has a rightful heir. As does the ever youthful Nwa nkwo Kanu.
SuperSAINT Posted 16 December, 2018 Posted 16 December, 2018 Can't let today pass without mentioning this lad. Well played for getting his first Prem appearance. Must have impressed Ralph in training.
The Cat Posted 16 December, 2018 Posted 16 December, 2018 Interesting that it was him rather than the vastly more experienced Ward Prowse that came on. Pleased for the lad, and for the rest of the youngsters who must now think they finally have a chance of getting in the squad.
suewhistle Posted 16 December, 2018 Posted 16 December, 2018 I presume they get a first team bonus as well. Probably on for his pace and keeping the Arsenal defence on their toes as well.
whelk Posted 16 December, 2018 Posted 16 December, 2018 He looks like a 36 year old insurance salesman. A chance to post a picture of this fella - Joseph Minala at Lazio. I sh 1t you not, he is 17 yo in this photo.
Dellman Posted 16 December, 2018 Posted 16 December, 2018 I presume they get a first team bonus as well. Probably on for his pace and keeping the Arsenal defence on their toes as well. Doubt this was the reason as, with one minute to go, he wasn't going to show anyone anything. So what was the reason? Perhaps it was a sign to every youngster in the Club (and to us) that oportunity is knocking and doors are opening
angelman Posted 16 December, 2018 Posted 16 December, 2018 Can't let today pass without mentioning this lad. Well played for getting his first Prem appearance. Must have impressed Ralph in training. Was thinking the same. Congrats to him. See that there are 5 academy players training with the 1st team. Looks like things might be back on track there.
suewhistle Posted 16 December, 2018 Posted 16 December, 2018 Well, Armstrong with his cramp needed replacing, we wanted to run down some time, but your point is valid too. But as somebody else commented why not one of our experienced mid-fielders? A good combination of factors I feel, and having seen a few u23 videos his speed was worth having.
SuperSAINT Posted 16 December, 2018 Posted 16 December, 2018 Great to see. Don't know much about him. Hope we see Barnes and Slattery get on the bench this season too. With Obafemi around too this is exactly what we should be doing. Really energises things and gives the whole club a boost. Yeah, a massive boost. It filters down through the age groups too as younger players have to step up to higher age groups to cover. Great stuff.
benjii Posted 16 December, 2018 Posted 16 December, 2018 Great to see. Don't know much about him. Hope we see Barnes and Slattery get on the bench this season too. With Obafemi around too this is exactly what we should be doing. Really energises things and gives the whole club a boost. Barnes is illegible to play Premier League, I think.
ChiefScummer Posted 16 December, 2018 Posted 16 December, 2018 I like the time he chose to sub him on. Proper time wasting and proper sh it housery bout time we gave some sh it housery back tbh.
benjii Posted 16 December, 2018 Posted 16 December, 2018 I like the time he chose to sub him on. Proper time wasting and proper sh it housery bout time we gave some sh it housery back tbh. Not really, Armstrong could barely walk!
ChiefScummer Posted 16 December, 2018 Posted 16 December, 2018 Not really, Armstrong could barely walk! Yeah I guess he looked like he was slowing down looking back on it. Couldn't help but think it was some sh it housery at the time though. Either way I'm glad the lad got some game time, even if it was only 5 mins or so.
John Boy Saint Posted 16 December, 2018 Posted 16 December, 2018 Can't let today pass without mentioning this lad. Well played for getting his first Prem appearance. Must have impressed Ralph in training. Interesting that when Redmond got lumped in the first half, he was the first one warming up just in case, then only joined by Long a couple of minutes later
pimpin4rizeal Posted 19 January, 2019 Posted 19 January, 2019 think tyreke along with obafemi look our best youngsters at the moment. some great end product on a couple of curved balls in especially the ball he played that was perfect for long.. he did more attacking wise in 45 mins then Valery has in all his games put together.. I actually think he maybe even better if used in the Redmond or Armstrong positions as back up to those two.we are short for back up in these positions so why not?
