Saints Have Summer Clearout
Tuesday, 26th May 2015 11:36

Saints have released six players at the end of their contracts as well as several of the academy scholars.

Artur Boruc is the highest profile out of contract player who will be leaving St Mary's this summer with his contract coming to an end with Bournemouth being his most likely destination and a return with the Cherries in the Premier league next season.

Also on his way is Jos Hooiveld who has spent most of this season on loan, firstly at Norwich City where it didnt quite work out and secondly at Millwall, during his time at St Mary's, he made 65(7) league appearances scoring 7 times.

Cody Cropper, Omar Rowe, Jake Sinclair and Chris Johns have been released from their contracts. Although only Rowe and Sinclair made any appearances for the first team, both appearing as subs in league cup games.

In the academy Dan Demkiv, Mark Irvine, Niall Mason and Chris Regis have left the club at the end of their two-year scholarships.

I would like to believe the Academy youngsters we are keeping are the real deal but having watched the U 21s quite a lot this season and looking at the trio who are now regularly on the first team bench you'd have to say that most are run of the mill industrial players who are not going to set the world alight like Bale and Walcott. We do not seem able to produce a Hazard, Aguero or Suarez and one wonders if such talents will ever emerge from the English game where the emphasis seems to be always on fitness, work rate and a big engine rather than refinement

That Bale kid looks a decent prospect, might be worth a few quid one day.

Bit harsh to be criticising the academy don't you think?

I meant "unlike" Bale & Walcott who are clearly 'decent prospects' as you say. Just for conjecture, apart from those guys are the average graduates from our Academy any better than those from any other top half PL Academy despite the stellar reputation it has gained for itself?
