Not sure it still counts as "losing another" if there was zero chance they'd have ever gotten a game anyway. Celtic 12 points ahead. League wrapped up. Let's see if they give any significant game time to any youngster... (I won't hold my breath) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartan Chris Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Che Adams future will be interesting I think. Does he stick around with Southampton and get 15-20 goals in championship to hopefully get in the groove for Germany next summer or does he stay in prem for one of the teams that stay up? We know his strengths and weaknesses by now but Southampton have looked utterly toothless since he picked up the injury v Cyprus. He'd probably have popped up with a goal in one of the games they've lost without scoring. Could see him at a Fulham or West Ham next season.

He has shown enough in the Prem that other clubs will bid to keep him there. As you say, mid to lower table clubs like West Ham, Fulham, Crystal Palace or Everton would all be good. I dont think Southampton have ever fully settled on him either so a reasonable bid and I think it will suit all parties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Bra Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 As much as he’s been great for us his record in the Premiership is 25 goals in 121 appearances, not sure if premiership clubs will be queuing up to sign him if/when Southampton go down… Just read Southampton expect him to be back for the last 5 games of the season so should hopefully be OK for June games.

He will only have 1 year left on his contract come the summer so theres a decent chance an epl team tries to buy him. Somewhere like leeds or crystal palace might be good for him. Just depends if saints allow him to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes more of a second striker tbf. Hes chipped in a fair few goals in cup games as well. I think a fair few epl clubs will want him if the price is right. Also hes only got 1 year left on his contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well still a chance he'd play for Scotland then. No idea if he's any good. His Dad played for Celtic, so could just be a bit of nepotism.

ghorne67 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 He was getting linked with Juventus at the start of the season so I'd imagine he's at least half decent.

Just found this qoute from his dad from 2019: Vata said: "Nobody in the Albanian FA ever contacted me. I know Scotland have watched him but the Irish association was the first to get in contact. "His granny is the happiest Irishwoman in Scotland. "People in Albania know through social media that he has been selected by Ireland. I believe many people are calling me names. "The fact of the matter is I love my country, I am proud to be an Albanian, I sacrificed myself so much for my country and I represented it with dignity. "That is my history. If Albania had been professional enough, shown some interest and done their homework right they would have recognised that this boy was playing for this club and they would have already contacted me. "They didn't show any kind of respect, desire or professionalism and, if they don't do that, he will never touch a ball for Albania." Despite those strong words, the 59-times-capped player insisted his son would make up his own mind about where his future lies as he will not be tied to Ireland any time soon. Vata said: "I was proud to play, and captain, my country all the way up. But I cannot dictate his decision. The most important thing is the boy is free to decide with his heart and mind. "Anything can happen in the future but at the beginning it is Ireland who have been in touch and shown interest and respect. "It's the boy's decision. If he asks me what the best option is, I can say my opinion but I cannot interfere. Edited April 17, 2023 by csinclair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think if we gave him an under 21 call up he would join up or at least we would find out. Probably best to stick to the status quo though and fill the under 21 squad with 22 year olds.
