Read on X that the Pete O'Rourke story is not true and Page on his Instagram account has said he's in negotiations with the club.

 

More rubbish from Football Insider then. 

Have we actually seen any names though? I saw a snapshot of a chat on X, but do we know this was actually Page?

 

Edit - just seen his display picture. But can this be edited? Sorry, very cynical I know.

I would look around online to see what Southampton and Scottish fans think of him. It will likely change your opinion.

In terms of Evans he's got good hold up play, good ball carrying, good passing, good finishing, he's got almost everything i would want from a striker coming in so I dont understand why our fans are overlooking him as an option. I think he's good enough as he is now. If he was a youngster at Man United or Chelsea and we were loaning him in sure our fans would be ecstatic.

The most telling thing from that, is that the fans all say he was good with another striker (ings) and not so good up top on his own. Funnily enough the same would be said about ayew and daka. 
 

we likely will play 1 up top, we need a comfortable number 9, it’s as simple as that for me

Hardly surprising at all. 

 

Everyone raved about Monga for the last 12 + months and in total throughout the season he got a few minutes of action here and there. 

 

Also the likes of Nelson and Alves have all went out on loan despite probably being a similar level to the senior pros in the first team squad.

 

Other academy lads must be watching that and feel like they have no chance of making an impact any time soon.

16 goals and 4 assists in 25 Championship nineties in 23/24 - I'd take him all day long. His PL and Serie A record is basically 1 in 3.

 

Would just have to be mindful of the contract length as he's 29 this week.

5 years should do it

Just saw a link to Josh sergeant because he is with Wasserman. Sure we can’t pay 600k for Rohl but we’ll spend 15m on a striker 

 

same article suggested Oxlade-Chamberlein was close

Monga has played first team football in The Premier League aged 15!

I suppose one good thing might be we don’t lose any keys players with all of this pissing about with managers.

Historically, this view would be absolutely spot on. But Monga and Evans featured a good amount towards the end of the season at 15 and 16 respectively.

 

Alves and Nelson have at least been out on loan now to get some more experience (Nelson not being first choice here instead of the clown show was stupid).

 

Then you've got the fact that the squad on Saturday was littered with players from 16-21 from the academy. The inaction with the manager and potentially transfer ban means the number of incomings will be limited, so probably never a better time to be a young player here as the club may finally be forced into play lots of them.

Which ones are those?

I assume El Khannous and Hermansen as they're the only ones worth anything to us.

How many PL clubs play academy players in the first team?

We could probably do with selling Hermansen to be fair as we need the money. Stolarczyk is more than good enough so seems daft having 2 good keepers. We just need a cheap backup for Stolarczyk, probably and older experienced keeper.

Doesn't mean he's looking elsewhere though.. just means he wasn't happy with that specific offer.. might have rejected with a counter offer for all we know.. could fancy more playing time, better bonuses etc

 

Even if he has turned us down to look elsewhere, can hardly blame him.. we're a mess and hardly any players are loyal nowadays, we were lucky with Vards staying so long but we haven't had it with youth players.. even when they do appear to want to stay, we end up flogging them anyway Barnes and KDH for example.. so he may want out whilst its still his choice 

 

He's just a kid regardless.. so make the right decision for himself and best of luck whether he stays or goes 

[FrankieADZ]

someone is going to get a bargain in this lad

[Ryy]

 

[JimJams]

A right back?

 

Cos we ain't got anywhere near enough of those fxxkers have we?

Those couple of goals might have gone to his head a little bit..

I think we've been linked with him before. I'd be up for that. Forest have just signed Jesus from Botafogo, so I don't think they're likely to be in for him. However, as the article suggests, he's just scored in the Club World Cup and Inter want to keep him...albeit as 4th choice.

 

Can't see it happening unfortunately.

a loan maybe but he will be very much out of our price range to purchase that's for sure, MV of €25m with a 5yr contract having just penned a new 1.

[Fox 4 Life]

These are positive links, exactly the types of players we should be going for.

I'm a Scotland fan. 

 

I like him. He seems like a good lad with a good attitude. I like that he's from Leicester and I think would care about the club. 

He works hard and contributes to play as a whole. 

I know from previous he’s held a bit of a grudge against the club because of the way he was overlooked. Agent was in contact with the club in the past, zero interest in return.
