Who do you believe? Nothing has been reported by Saints, the rest is just tittle tattle, but all logic points to Tom Leach's version, no one is going to put a 19 year old CB with no league experience in the first team (straight away). Like I said. I'm sure he will become a good player, and maybe make an odd appearance for us this coming season - let's hope he grows a bit as well 🤣 No one said he was going to be put in the first team straight away. If he's part of the squad doesn't mean he'll be starter every week, much like WIll Smallbone and Nduluduldudludududududu are part of the first team squad but rarely play. My mates son is an 18 year old centre back at Bradford City, part of the first team squad there but only started one league game and a couple of papa johns matches.

Actually people on here were saying he was going to be in the team, that's why I said what I did. They thought he was a replacement for Vest.

He may end up being a replacement for Vestergaard in that Salisu becomes a starter in place of Vestergaard and Simeu takes centre back numbers back up to four (whilst also getting some gametime in the under 23s).
Scummer Posted 26 July, 2021 Posted 26 July, 2021 I had an interesting discussion at the weekend with a player of the same age who has played against him a number of times (including last season). Let's just say I'm not getting my hopes up that he's anywhere near first team ready...

Not seen a single person say he's going to be thrown in as first choice the minute he arrives. 1

disconnect Posted 27 July, 2021 Posted 27 July, 2021 Welcome Dynel. Hope you have a fantastic career with Saints and go from strength to strength. Certainly looks like a player with a bright future ahead of him.
davefizzy14 Posted 27 July, 2021 Posted 27 July, 2021 Welcome Dynel, sounds like a very promising signing. Like Tom Leach has already said I expect him to strengthen the B Team to begin with, with a view to stepping upto the first team at somepoint next season
stknowle Posted 27 July, 2021 Posted 27 July, 2021 Look forward to this being officially announced by the club next tuesday week. 1

eelpie Posted 29 July, 2021 Posted 29 July, 2021 I'm very pleased. We've now signed two decent defenders, each with potential, followsing Bertie's departure with Vesty lightly to leave. More to do, but after a quiet pre-seasson, we can build. Well done Saints.

I think the club identified how utterly terrible the U23's were last season, that had a knock on to the u18's as we had to keep picking apart their squad with players that weren't ready. So I think there has been fair focus on that this year.

If we didn’t then the cost to us in transfer fees in two years would have crippled us as we would need to buy a few.
