HarvSFC Posted 20 July, 2022 Share Posted 20 July, 2022 Interesting that Meghoma's a LB. Only a year between himself and Small. Both highly rated youngsters, fighting for the same position, will be interesting to see how they develop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 20 July, 2022 Share Posted 20 July, 2022 It's a real positive that we can make these sort of moves now. Our signings of Small/Tino etc have really opened the deals to these sort of players, but it's clear these lads aren't going to be anywhere near the first team yet but for the future it's very positive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. It would be like saying Ethan Hartness would be challenging KWP for a left-back place. They are essentially scholars (so, in essence, we still need them to sign pro deals in a couple of years!) - They’ll be U18’s to start with and then if they do very well, B-Team appearances would be an great achievement.

Isn’t what happen with these kind of deals are they are bought in a scholarship but they have already agreed professional terms.

When you mentioned the name Ethan I had to look it up as I used to teach him martial arts years ago. Indeed it’s the same guy and he used to try and wear a Saints shirt when he first started. Real home boy that kid is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusic Posted 15 September, 2022 Share Posted 15 September, 2022 As per the PL squad lists which includes scholars, Meghoma hasn't signed for Saints, and is also not listed against any other PL team. Imagine he will sign somewhere fairly soon, but perhaps not at Saints afterall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was pretty strongly linked to Man United when it was reported that we'd "won the race" for his signature. Perhaps having seen us sign a 17 and 18 year old left back in the last two summers he's had a rethink and doesn't see a pathway here for a 16 year old left back.

Pops up in training pictures now and again. Vokins was assumed a write off when the club sent a 22 year old who held his own in the SPL last season on loan to a non league side this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the sounds of it he let Ralph down a bit last year with his performance last year in the league cup. I’m also not convinced that Ralph loves the youngsters pushing for loan deals, I think he would rather have the same on the playbook and push for a first team role but maybe that’s just me. As we’ve seen before with Slattery, and to a lesser extent Tyreke Johnson, as a youngsters it’s hard to come back when you’ve let Ralph down even just once. I hope Small proves us wrong because he came very highly rated. I think when he moved Everton was asking for £5mil for a 16 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the career trajectory of both of these players, it looks like Ralph was right. Many players are very highly rated at 16 years old. Most of them don't make it (certainly not in the Prem), that's just professional football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusic Posted 23 July, 2023 Share Posted 23 July, 2023 (edited) Meghoma pro deal confirmed, Sam Amo's should be shortly. Hope its more than a 2 year deal as he won't go unnoticed for long, especially with a bit of end product. Great piece of recruitment to nab him from Spurs.

He only just turned 17 so only now can sign pro. He likely agreed one as part of his scholarship move but most of the others only signed two years until 2025 (which is pretty normal). I think ideally we would want a little more security than that for him given he looks very much like being a first team squad member this season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in any profession you pay for experience, not being willing to pay for that experience leads to a less than satisfactory experience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't have recovered significantly until after we had re-established back in the premier league so you're talking 2013-14 intakes onwards imo. These kids join the club under 8 years old etc? So we really should be seeing the fruits of the academy investments only in the coming years - and the signs are already good.

Agree, from the snippets we've seen of him so far he is a confident lad and has the talent to back that up. Obviously at the young age of just 17 he'll need to be managed but I hope he gets plenty of game time because he looks like one of those players who will not be a shrinking violet on the big stage. You can always spot the youngsters with real talent because they shine the moment they get into the first team and have an almost arrogant self-belief. I think this lad fits into that category.
