SuperSAINT Posted 14 August, 2017 Share Posted 14 August, 2017 On official site https://southamptonfc.com/news/2017-08-14/jack-rose-signs-for-southampton 1 year deals are all the rage. So I guess this is bye-bye Gazza? (Even though, I've no idea why we needed another if Macca is fit again?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 14 August, 2017 Share Posted 14 August, 2017 Our goalkeeping situation is a tad confusing. We seem to like stockpiling GK's who will never actually play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatlesaint Posted 14 August, 2017 Share Posted 14 August, 2017 So he is cover for Lewis who went on loan to Dundee for a year ? Gazza is obviously off so our 1,2,3 is Forster, McCarthy, Taylor/Rose ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimatt Posted 14 August, 2017 Share Posted 14 August, 2017 "Fraser is an England international, Stuart Taylor has a lot of experience and I trained with Alex McCarthy in the week –he was really good with me." So McCarthy is fit? More non-competition for Forster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamplemousse Posted 14 August, 2017 Share Posted 14 August, 2017 Goalkeepers develop later than other positions - many come into their prime in their late twenties. Working with the England goalkeeper coach and at a bigger club, with better training facilities, could do wonders for him, and untap his potential.

VectisSaint Posted 14 August, 2017 Share Posted 14 August, 2017 I assume he's there to play in U23 league & EFL trophy. I think he qualifies as u21 (born 31 Jan 1995) so can provide cover, assumes Gazza is going, as he hasn't been given a squad number. It looks like they have been hanging on until McCarthy is proven fit again. We certainly needed a keeper for the U23s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes him 22 and a half so I'm not sure why you think he qualifies as U21 - assuming you're talking about Premier League squads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldNick Posted 14 August, 2017 Share Posted 14 August, 2017 Lets hope they keep him away from our goalkeeping coach s it sems to me that none of our keepers have improved once they are at our club. All a coincidence I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, sorry, he was 21 on 1st January, I think, I was thinking it was 21 or under on 1st Jan that season starts. Makes it all the stranger in that case. We now have 2 players over and above the 25 player limit, and both keepers. Clearly just here for the PL2/u23s/FLT in that case. Bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusic Posted 14 August, 2017 Share Posted 14 August, 2017 Why does that make it bizarre? Harry Lewis gets senior team experience for a season, we have a Jack Rose to play for the under 23s.It is slightly bizarre in that you would ideally have a succession plan of having a decent U18 keeper ready to step into the U23s with Lewis not there. Last year we signed Latham who was clearly a stop gap to have a semi competent keeper in the U18s and that seems to be what Rose is. If so, fair enough and hopefully he does well. But shows there is a bit of a gap of none of the young keepers being good enough for U23 football. Bit similar with strikers. I think the U23s will struggle with only an injury prone Barnes as a striker option unless a 16 year old wonderkid is on the scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGalpin Posted 14 August, 2017 Share Posted 14 August, 2017 Why does that make it bizarre? Harry Lewis gets senior team experience for a season, we have a Jack Rose to play for the under 23s. That was part of the reason they signed Hassen last season too; Lewis was benchwarming and not getting game time when Puel felt he wasn't ready to suddenly be called into the breach if Fraser got injured, hence Hassen coming in. This season they've let him out on loan and Rose covers him for the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFC Chris Posted 15 August, 2017 Share Posted 15 August, 2017 Do they still have hopes for Lewis? On loan in a poor league, but looked miles from first team ready when he came in last season. McCarthy isn't the quality to challenge Fraser but reasonable back up. . A loan spell in Scotland never did any harm for the likes of Forster and Tim Krul?
