In my younger days The shirts had only numbers on the backs and no names. The shirts belonged to the club and not to any indivual player. Over the course of a season different players would wear the same shirt. Then they wanted to start selling replica shirts with names on the back.

M271 Posted 21 January, 2021 Share Posted 21 January, 2021 When I played for 2nd Southampton Cubs team in the early 70s our formation was: 1 - GK 2- RD, 3 CD, 4 CD, 5 LD 5 - Lone midfielder (I can't remember what we called the position) 7- Right Wing, 8 Inside Right, 9 Centre Forward, 10 Inside Left, 11 Left Wing So a 4, 1, 5 formation and we won the league!

saintwbu Posted 12 July, 2021 Share Posted 12 July, 2021 I do think credit to him for wanting to leave to just play football, rather than leave to sit on the bench for a bigger club. Lots of young players aren’t waiting around anymore, and want to get games straight away, as we’ve seen with Sancho in particular but there’s a few more young players who have left PL clubs to go abroad for game time. It’s a shame all we saw was that horror show against United, I hope he goes on to do well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pretty obvious when Ralph just wouldnt play him after the United disaster that he wasnt going to be given a chance.

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 12 July, 2021 Share Posted 12 July, 2021 All the talk was that this lad was a talent but seemingly something has gone wrong along the way.

qwertyell Posted 12 July, 2021 Share Posted 12 July, 2021 What a piss take. We lose one of the most promising players in our youth set up because the manager seemingly couldn't get along with him. And I see the club are already briefing against a 19 year old kid through their mouthpiece Blackmore. How brave. Still, Swiss champions - he'll be playing European football next season while we dream of a top 18 finish, so I guess it's worked out okay. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusic Posted 12 July, 2021 Share Posted 12 July, 2021 (edited) If you kick up a fuss about wanting to play ahead of the likes of JWP, Romeu & Diallo to the extent of handing in a transfer request, then finally get a chance and do what he did...its not overly suprising that the Manager, who then gets a second 9-0 on his record, isn't the biggest fan of the player. Hopefully we have a good sell on % but on face value it seems to suit all parties. Edited 12 July, 2021 by Dusic 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of chatter about Jankewitz to be honest, but I've never really seen it. He was part of an utterly dross B team this season, didn't stick out at all. Played okish in an U21 tournament but apart from that I never saw anything to suggest he starts in our midfield at this level. He seemed to get a bit too big for his boots, stuff has seemingly gone on that we don't know about either. I think he was overhyped based on nothing really. Let's see how this pans out in the next few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Blackmore is not "briefing against" some teenager who barely ever played for us, and when he did he couldn't handle the occasion. He's not the Secretary of State for the Environment, he's some kid footballer. And has he gone to Arsenal or Juventus because he is such a red-hot prospect? No, he's gone back to the comfort blanket of home. He's gone to the club we bought Mayuka from. So let's not pretend any uptick in form playing in his home, in a lower standard league immediately equates to "that's what we let go, look how brilliant he is". He couldn't hack the UK, he couldn't hack the Premier League. Good luck to him but whether he does well or not is not something any Saints fan should ever care about ever again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something clearly wasn’t right for a 19 year old to be giving ultimatums about being in the first team. I’m not sure why you’d lay this at Ralph’s door when none of us know anything about what else was happening behind the scenes and in training. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neef Posted 12 July, 2021 Share Posted 12 July, 2021 It's a fair move for both. We have JWP, Romeu and Diallo. It's likely he wouldn't have got the game time wanted to progress his career, and we couldn't have promised him that either. Good luck to him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
