Saint Garrett Posted 16 August, 2018 Posted 16 August, 2018 Sounds very promising...though how do we buy him outside of the window?
angelman Posted 16 August, 2018 Posted 16 August, 2018 St G, I suspect it has something to do with his age

Never know if deals like this ever happen. All went quiet on the 'Real Madrid' wonder-kid we were set to sign. (Although, in fairness I'm sure the report said it would happen in September).
Useful Idiot Posted 16 August, 2018 Posted 16 August, 2018 The Real Madrid youngster wasn't able to sign yet due to not being old enough yet. I assume this is a similar case
Charlie Wayman Posted 16 August, 2018 Posted 16 August, 2018 Another one for the future when it's the here and now that needs attention. Probably never hear of him again one when or if ever he enters the hallowed halls of Staplewood. They come and go, hey-ho!
Pilchards Posted 16 August, 2018 Posted 16 August, 2018 Shame some of our young players like Sims, Hesketh, McQueen, Gallagher, Taggart, and many more waiting in the wings are not going to get a chance. This is not a dig at Hughes, I think it’s a lack of quality around these young players that could help them make the step up. Liverpool and Spurs are bedding many young kids in the game and we’ve suddenly stopped doing it. The one thing I’ve missed being a Saints supporter is watching your very own making the grade.

SonicBoom Posted 16 August, 2018 Posted 16 August, 2018 I'm pretty sure the club would love to have academy players flooding into the first team again. The academy no doubt scrutinises every aspect of a players development - but maybe we have to face facts that they simply are not good enough. If Hughes thought Sims would make more impact than whoever was currently playing, then he'd be in. If Gallagher was likely to score more goals than our current forwards, he would be in the team by now. Players like Shaw and Lallana were good enough to be selected in preference to whoever was in the 1st team before them. This lot...aren't. It's a hard life for these lads. Once you get to 23/24 at a club like Saints and haven't progressed from the development squad then you might as well up sticks and leave - at least on loan. Otherwise you are condemned to this half-life of occasional bench time, and the odd U23 game in front of 20 people and 300 internet fans.
LGTL Posted 16 August, 2018 Posted 16 August, 2018 When I hovered over the link to read the headline, it stated a £135million deal. I got all excited.

Matthew Le God Posted 16 August, 2018 Posted 16 August, 2018 HITC is not a reliable source. HITC in that article do not claim to be the original source and in the first sentence of the article they even link to where they got the story from.
Saint Albert Posted 16 August, 2018 Posted 16 August, 2018 HITC in that article do not claim to be the original source and in the first sentence of the article they even link to where they got the story from. Perhaps the original source (Tuttomercato) will at some point revise their original article by replacing Southampton with Wolverhampton...

Danbert Posted 17 August, 2018 Posted 17 August, 2018 Apparently we lost out on this bloke though https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/wolves-beat-rivals-signing-midfielder-15040341
angelman Posted 17 August, 2018 Posted 17 August, 2018 Apparently we lost out on this bloke though https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/wolves-beat-rivals-signing-midfielder-15040341 Sure. We might have, we might not have. Who knows how hard we tried? Who knows what Wolves offered? I'm afraid that "losing out" to competitors for academy players doesn't really get me too bothered. I find it almost like the club signing the player (us included) likes to crow about how wonderful they are as some sort of PR exercise, regardless of what the actual facts are. If and when he makes the Wolves first team in 2 or 3 or more years time we can all go on about "what if".
Psycrow Posted 17 August, 2018 Posted 17 August, 2018 Sounds very promising...though how do we buy him outside of the window? I'd imagine a deal can be struck any time. It just can't be formalised until the window is open. I'm sure contracts and fees etc can be signed and agreed at any time with a view to a move on Jan 1st or whenever.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 17 August, 2018 Posted 17 August, 2018 I think the window only applies for players in the first team you can put any players in your yourh teams even trialists
Maggie May Posted 18 August, 2018 Posted 18 August, 2018 HITC in that article do not claim to be the original source and in the first sentence of the article they even link to where they got the story from. Yes I know. And I know this won’t happen.

SuperSAINT Posted 29 August, 2018 Posted 29 August, 2018 @SouthamptonFC: #SaintsFC is pleased to confirm the signing of 16-year-old midfielder Alexandre Jankewitz from Servette FC https://southamptonfc.com/news/2018-08-29/announcement-alexandre-jankewitz-southampton-servette-fc
OldNick Posted 29 August, 2018 Posted 29 August, 2018 Most of his passes went astray when we got close the penalty area , so he will fit right in

Faz Posted 29 August, 2018 Posted 29 August, 2018 Yes I know. And I know this won’t happen. Still think this won't happen? On a side issue, interesting to see SKD in the pics, presumably working towards his pro licence.
InvictaSaint Posted 29 August, 2018 Posted 29 August, 2018 https://southamptonfc.com/news/2018-08-29/announcement-alexandre-jankewitz-southampton-servette-fc Good to see Weird Al’s son making a life for himself....(ba-doom tish). I’m here all week.

Stud mark of doom Posted 29 August, 2018 Posted 29 August, 2018 Height: 73kg Weight: 1m80cm I like the sound of this guy. He seems to defy the usual metrics. Also reminds me of that joke about being sent to the store room for a “long weight” on your first day.
