Anyone else heard we may be in for Southampton's Worthing based Harrison Reed on a season long loan?
Isn't that place taken by Stockers?Nope but every successful team needs a ginger.

I reckon he is more strawberry blond :safeway:
Would he be the Texeira replacement creative stylee type or is he another midfield grinder a la his Ginga lookalikee Paul Scholes?
I have no idea what he offers I'm afraid![]()
None of those unfortunately, instead he's a defensive midfielder.
He's a very good young player who played a few games last season for Saints, so he definitely has quality. As long he doesn't come with our speciality, Gary Gardner "Must Play Every Match" clause in his loan contract, he'd be a good addition on season-long loan terms.
I know the Saints' Fans that I know think he is a very good prospect.
This would be an HORRIFIC loan signing.
He plays a year below Forster-Caskey in the England age-groups set up, in exactly the same position, with less success. He was far from a stand out performer in the Toulon games, and overall is no better a prospect.
Policy simply MUST be to develop our own young players over somebody else's, unless they are going to very significantly improve our side. Reed won't.

I agree with that, but I'm also expecting JFC to leave this summer for a long a fruitful career in the Prem.
