Christoph Klarer

[Nordic Saint]

Klarer looks a very good prospect. The big Austrian central defender only just turned 18 in June but he is already one of the stars of Saints U23 team so far this season and gave a really dominant display in the Premier League International Cup win v Dinamo Zagreb. It's early days yet but I think he's going to make it all the way to the first team.

2nd that - looks really strong for an 18 yr old

Yep, I was thinking the same watching last night. Both fullbacks looked very promising too, especially Valery.

Sunderland want him.  He is one of our best young players and potentially already the most talented young central defender we've got.

Sunderland want him. I guess it won't be long before the big six clubs are after him. He is our best young player.and probably already the most talented central defender we've got.

Isn't that one of those The player Sunderland MUST sign is... articles?

 

Regardless, he does look a prospect & one of the beneficiaries of Jones going to Scotland.

Yes, I re-read it. You are right. It just seems to be the opnion of that writer but, as you say, he is a prospect and already attracting attention. He's one of those players who is so good you can't fail to be impressed whenever you see him play.

Only a matter of time before he gets a full call-up for Austria.

 

Hes being watched very closely

[Nordic Saint]

He seems to be in the pre-season squad so I wonder if he will make a first team appearance in any of the friendly games? Although he's very young he could be part of the solution to our central defensive problem.

[Cabbage_Face]

He will break through this season

[Nordic Saint]

Klarer came on for the last 20 minutes so no more goals conceded and we won 3-1. A good result.

scored last night

Perhaps this partially explains the lack of new signings at CB if we have a gem to come through

[John Boy Saint]

Funny reading some of the above, especially after going to the Hampshire Cup Semi-Final against v Basingstoke Town at the Camrose. I wondered what all the fuss was about as he looked uncomfortable against a team of part timers.

Well, at least he's made it all the way to Birmingham City's first team.

Credit to him for getting a decent move & Birmingham IS a decent move.

Radio 5 live were saying that the Brum v Wrexham game was getting coverage in the US. Beckham was there watching it.
