We paid Everton 5m for him.
Was very highly regarded full/wing back /winger
1 poor appearance against Coventry in the FA cup and that was the last we saw of him.
60 odd games for Nathan Jones's promotion winning Charlton side saw him move to Preston who are currently 4th. 9 games . 16pts.
He's scored 2 in his last 2 games and has been called up for the England 21s squad.
Why can't we manage these players better when they clearly have lots of potential.

Because we like to get in young, promising players, let a clueless f@ckwit manager mess with their heads, then watch as they put in a transfer request.
Jay Robinson will be the next to do so... |  |

Same with Kevin Danso.
Remember him ? A centre half who Ralph thought it a good idea to play as a full back at home against Bournemouth. He got hooked at half time and disappeared from Saints only to recently be worth £21 million when Spurs bought him from Lens.
How do we manage to constantly do it ? I’ve no idea and suspect that Sports Republic and their utterly hapless employees haven’t either.
Any happy clappers want to let us in to the secret? | |

Was Danso not pre-Sports Republic?
I think that was on Hassenhutl.
Thierry Small has not had a career in the higher Leagues so I’m not sure we have lost a lot by letting him go. |  |

We only had Danso on loan for a season - with an option to buy
He was signed mainly as cover at CB
He was a CB
Ralph played him mainly at RB
Ralph only played him 6 times in the league and a few in the cup
He wasn't very good at RB
He wasn't really very good at defending
He got sent off
He didn't do enough to justify us buying him, so he was sent back
This was all 5 1/2 years ago.
Different players mature and improve at different rates.
He was definitely not worth keeping after his season on loan with js |  |

What about Sam Amo-Ameyaw? He had a good attitude. Sport Republic still sold him asap, as they appear to do with all of our promising youngsters. [Post edited 9 Oct 11:24]

Not sure why you think he has an attitude problem by playing in L1 promotion winning team
Now scoring goals for Preston and an England 21 call up to boot.
I just remember he was a highly rated young player that Everton wanted to keep and we were prepared to pay 5m for him in 2022.
He left us for nothing and is now back on track in his career.
It's just a shame that weren't able to nurture his talent as he may have been a real asset at this level. | | | |

probably because he has the ability to be much better but would sooner coast his career away for an easy life | | | |

Amo-Ameyaw is still only 19 and he's just broken into the England U20 team. I liked what I saw of him here. We'll see how his career develops.
We used to see youngsters play here for a couple of seasons and they were at least 20 when they were sold; nowadays, we're lucky if they start a couple of games before they're sold, in their teens, to the first club that makes an offer for them. [Post edited 9 Oct 19:50]

Sport Republic or to be more accurate Southampton FC wanted to keep Sam Amo- Ameyaw and offered him a new contract, but he made it quite clear he would not sign another one, possibly because Russell Martin didn't want to play him.
So faced with a player who wanted to leave and would be entering the last year of his contract this summer, Saints opted to cash in.
I personally rated him and would have liked to see him stay, but he wasn't playing any games , he managed 6 League games and another 6 in the cup, scoring just once |  |

It would be revisionism to say he was anything other than extremely poor the few times he played for us: the only one I remember being Coventry, when he was outdone, shown up, and hooked off for being sh*t. |  | | |
