He might just be the paciest forward we've had though. Not sure if Jonno Quick. Mane, I'll grant you, but as good Ings, Jay Rod or Lambert (at least in the PL) were, they were not players who got your off your feet in anticipation of what they'd do. Players that can do that are few and far between. Broja destroyed their full back for pace despite the other lads head start - we've not a player with the ability to do something like that in a long while. The kid had something.

I find it hard to be excited by broja, just because he will never be our player. If he doesn't go back to Chelsea another big club will buy him. I know if he helps us stay up its job done but don't like us improving other teams players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but the reality is this will happen more often over the coming seasons until we have a wealthy owner willing to spend. So probably for ever.

He's OUR player this season, and I am excited by him. And if he does well and tells Chelsea he wants to stay with Southampton, that may make a difference. So get excited, give him love.

Lighthouse Posted 14 September, 2021 Share Posted 14 September, 2021 If you live in Stamshaw and somebody offers you the chance to live in a mansion in Beverly Hills for a year, you take it whether you own it or not. If he scores 30 goals for us, I couldn’t care less if he signed for Pompey next season. I’m just glad we’ll have had someone of genuine quality for a season, rather than sending the likes of Long, N’Lundulu and Obafemi on to try and change a game. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A club like us can often only attract quality young players if they see it as a shop window opportunity and the chance of a step up. Yes he looks like an excellent prospect and it would be great to have him as a permanent signing, but surely better to have that quality for a season than not at all? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey Grandad Posted 14 September, 2021 Share Posted 14 September, 2021 If we had bought him and he turns out to be fabulous then he would be gone next summer anyway. We are renting him for a season, hopefully to do a job for us. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFC Forever Posted 14 September, 2021 Share Posted 14 September, 2021 I agree totally. Much better to have him for a year than not at all. If he does well we could try for another year on loan but that might not be possible. I would imagine the price for him next summer would be out of our league as well.

Whitey Grandad Posted 14 September, 2021 Share Posted 14 September, 2021 (edited) For comparison I've just looked at how long our own youth products spent playing for the first team. Gareth Bale April 2006 to May 2007 Theo Walcott August 2005 to January 2006 Luke Shaw August 2012 to June 2014 So apart from giving us a profit when sold good young players are unlikely to be with us very long one way or another. Let's enjoy them whilst they are here. Edited 14 September, 2021 by Whitey Grandad Fat fingers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I was looking on him, cos I was at the game and everything, and he didn't at all look like he'd be quick. I mean, not Jonno Quick. You don't expect it of Bros, or Brojas, once they reach a certain height. Especially if they're white. I'm not saying he's Peter Crouch, but he might be gangly Pelle, or say, that guy we had in the Championship. Rasiak. Ogbonna clearly made the same judgement. When Brodar flicks it past him, poor old Ogbonna turns and jogs along, comfortable in the knowledge that he has like a 3 yard head start, and only 10 yards to go, and then this red blur buzzes past him like a fkn missile. It was a beautiful moment! Certainly my highlight of the match, excepting when Steve Jacksons put Antonio in a headlock. 3 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarvSFC Posted 12 October, 2021 Share Posted 12 October, 2021 Hasenhuttl usually favours players who've been in training all week, doesn't he after internationals?

SFC Forever Posted 12 October, 2021 Share Posted 12 October, 2021 (edited) For the life of me I fail to understand why Broja is not being given more playing time. Some have suggested that he is indifferent/shows lack of interest. If I was him and knew I was better than those being picked for the team perhaps I would feel the same. As manager I would select him and give him a run to see if his lack of interest is caused by a lack of game time. Either way he should be given the chance to show what he is made of.

When you say “some have suggested”… that actually came from Ralph. I understand your logic in saying give him a run, but I’m pretty certain that’s not how it works with Ralph, he’s definitely a “my way or the highway” type manager, which is one of the reasons I would suggest we lack spontaneity.

We have played 7 league and 2 cup matches. He wasn't fit/ready to be selected in the match day squad for the first 2 league matches and wasn't allowed to be selected for the last one. He was brought on as a sub in all other 4 getting around 20 minutes in 2, 25 minutes in a third and 30 minutes in the other. He also started both cup matches. I would say that is giving him a chance to show what he's made of, without putting too much pressure on a 20 year old's shoulders. Incidentally, prior to coming here his only experience of full professional football in the UK was a solitary appearance, as an 84th minute sub, for Chelsea in March last year (season before last). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
