shurlock Posted 31 January, 2020 Posted 31 January, 2020 I always love “best of” highlights where there isn’t a single stand in sight.
Colinjb Posted 31 January, 2020 Posted 31 January, 2020 Not a single appearance for Tranmere while loaned to them earlier this season. Bit of an odd one. 21, so would be a latter bloomer if at all.
Pilchards Posted 31 January, 2020 Posted 31 January, 2020 Just the kind of backing RH needs. If he never had us playing so well since the start of December we would be truly ****ing ****e.
egg Posted 31 January, 2020 Posted 31 January, 2020 Presumably this is just u23 cover for Slattery, with a possibile perm deal of he looks good enough. Slattery needed games at a half decent level so this makes sense.

Slattery needed games at a half decent level so this makes sense. why would we need cover for someone in the U23s? not being flippant, just a bizarre move.
SNSUN Posted 31 January, 2020 Posted 31 January, 2020 Throw enough **** at the wall and see if it sticks. Still risk free and might find a gem. Obviously someone has seen something in him. Crocker?

egg Posted 31 January, 2020 Posted 31 January, 2020 why would we need cover for someone in the U23s? not being flippant, just a bizarre move. Slattery needed a loan to help him develop, and there's little other options in the u23 with Hamblin moving on. If the choice was to keep Slattery and hold him back, or let him go on loan but get cover from a lad on what is essentially a loan cum extended trial, I personally think we've made the right choice.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 31 January, 2020 Posted 31 January, 2020 Think this might be a possible Hojberg replacement if he goes in the summer or an understudy to Armstrong perhaps as he looks more no.10 material? Overall a good loan IMO.

Great to see us clearing our 'log jam' of defenders Bring on Total Football

waylander Posted 31 January, 2020 Posted 31 January, 2020 England U20 so he must have something about him
Badger Posted 31 January, 2020 Posted 31 January, 2020 Perhaps he's the new Jacob Mellis who was also signed, albeit on loan, from Chelsea.

CB Fry Posted 31 January, 2020 Posted 31 January, 2020 WHY ARE PEOPLE SLAGGING HIM OFF DOES NO ONE REMEMBER EVERYONE SLAGGED OFF SADIO MANE
Nolan Posted 31 January, 2020 Posted 31 January, 2020 Maybe, just maybe, we want a player who can try and help get the PL2 U23 team off the bottom of the PL2 table?
disconnect Posted 31 January, 2020 Posted 31 January, 2020 So, did we sign this guy or not? I’m guessing he also plays left back?!

pimpin4rizeal Posted 1 February, 2020 Posted 1 February, 2020 Never heard of him before today but after watching the you tube vid I gotta say I’m quite impressed. His passing looks very intelligent and creative a load of nice little through balls and intelligent creative play also seems good running with the ball I like the look of him based on the video.

tajjuk Posted 1 February, 2020 Posted 1 February, 2020 https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/tranmere-boss-micky-mellon-explains-17409505 As a counter to this, Tranmere are 21st in league 1, so maybe this manager is not the best judge of talent. Also don;t really know much about the guy but maybe this guy is more of a playmaker/attacking mid and they just don't play players like that or play more like a Pulis team, you just don't know. As someone above said it's interesting we have this guy at the same time Crocker has just appeared and he was heavily involved with the England youth set ups. Seems like a no loss situation to me, we get to look at him, he might have talent that has been overlooked/badly used and get a bonus good youngster, if not what have we lost?
SNSUN Posted 1 February, 2020 Posted 1 February, 2020 TBF Obafemi plied his youth trade all over the place until he came to us, and now he's one of our 4 Premier League strikers. Young players can get overlooked, and as we've seen from some of our own youngsters, development ages vary greatly.

ALWAYS_SFC Posted 1 February, 2020 Posted 1 February, 2020 Did we actually sign this guy from Chelsea, very quite about it everywhere Doubt it, he read this forum and thought fuk this I'm already sh it at Southampton and haven't kicked a ball for them yet
SNSUN Posted 1 February, 2020 Posted 1 February, 2020 Did we actually sign this guy from Chelsea, very quite about it everywhere I read an article that said he passed his medical, I just assumed as he wasn't a big signing it was being kept quiet by the club and we'll find out in a few days.
Matthew Le God Posted 2 February, 2020 Author Posted 2 February, 2020 Confirmed... https://www.southamptonfc.com/news/2020-02-02/announcement-jacob-maddox-southampton-fc-u23s-chelsea-loan-deal
verlaine1979 Posted 2 February, 2020 Posted 2 February, 2020 No idea if he's remotely ready for the premier league, but until Armstrong came in over the past ten games, we'd been crying out for someone who can carry the ball out of midfield and link up with the attack. From the clips this looks to be one of Maddox's main attributes.
DuncanRG Posted 2 February, 2020 Posted 2 February, 2020 Just the kind of backing RH needs. If he never had us playing so well since the start of December we would be truly ****ing ****e. Yes. If we didn't play well we would be bad.

verlaine1979 Posted 2 February, 2020 Posted 2 February, 2020 He has been signed to play for the under 23s Yes, I can read, but there's little point in loaning a player with the sole intention of them only ever turning out for the under 23s.
SuperSAINT Posted 2 February, 2020 Posted 2 February, 2020 An attacker who failed to make any impact in league 2 and couldn't get a game in league 1. Sounds really great. I mean, he's not THAT young. Seems a really odd signing, unless it's literally just helping out the u23s with no intention of first team future, which is an odd move to make. It’s like a postmodern Jack Boyle or Jason St Juste signing.
Dusic Posted 2 February, 2020 Posted 2 February, 2020 Chelsea signed him aged 14 from Bristol City's Academy where the Lead Development Coach at the time was David Horseman. From a quick look at Bristol City forum it appears they may have a closer link than just that...one poster hints that Horseman is/was Maddox's step-son. https://www.otib.co.uk/index.php?/topic/155198-chelsea-to-sign-14-year-old-bristol-city-teenager-jacob-maddox/#comment-1806738 He will certainly know all about him (as will Matt Crocker). Low risk, potentially a reward at some stage as he is obviously talented.

Seems a really odd signing, unless it's literally just helping out the u23s with no intention of first team future, which is an odd move to make. It's an odd career choice for the lad but it makes sense for us. Slattery has gone on loan and Smallbone is part of the first team squad so the u23 are light in midfield.
egg Posted 2 February, 2020 Posted 2 February, 2020 Yes, I can read, but there's little point in loaning a player with the sole intention of them only ever turning out for the under 23s. Not if the u23s need players. Which they do.
