Have heard he may not be a Dundee Utd player for much longer sadly.

Yup, highly rated, Manchester United are admirers reportedly.

Typo, it's Scotland under 16s.

I don't think he's going anywhere, he's loving life at United and St Johns and knows he'll get a crack at the first team if he continues to progress as he has been.

Really hope so.
Would like to see any talented, hungry youngster that's good enough get 100 first team appearences under their belt as a minimum before moving on.

I was more worried about losing him to Aberdeen than Man Utd based on what I was told but without going into details I believe the lad made it clear he wanted to stay at United.

If he rejects Man U, great.

Playing for Man Utd v Man City tomorrow.
Looks like he won't be our player.
Probably unsurprising,but dissapointing if so.

I think these lads should get the opportunity to develop as players and more importantly as people without the scrutiny of the media tbh

He tweeted it himself.

Fair enough I suppose.
Don't really like the way the papers, The Courier is pretty bad at it, talk up these young lads though. Awful lot of pressure

Signing professional terms with Southampton is the word.
Disappointing. Thought he'd maybe break through at us after all after he'd featured in our Development side once or twice last season.
Wonder if we'll receive any type of fee... and if so,how is it calculated?

I dunno what is happening. I tried to quote TEK and my post didn't appear. Its being reported as a 5 figure development fee that we are getting for him. Good luck to the lad.

Good luck to the lad! It's a unexpected bonus in financial terms

fair play to the laddie, must be a fair prospect to have been watched for so long. At least we lost him before having a taste of his ability to have the rug pulled away again.
Offline
Development fee is likely minimal. Gutted we might not see him in the big team or prosper much for our benefit but I suppose its not bad for our image again if he turns out to be good.

Can't blame the boy for wanting to go there. Wouldn't be surprised if he simply fades of into relative obscurity though and we never hear of him again.

Southampton proberly a good team for him to go to havent they developed some decent talent?
Offline
Gareth bale and Walcott for a start...... Didn't shearer come through Southampton too??? Or maybe I'm making that up.
Lad will probably get a big wage in an environment where he could make the big time.
Whether it's best to develop there or a smaller club, time will tell
Good luck to the lad.

Arguably they have the best Youth Academy in England mate.
Alan Shearer
Theo Walcott
Gareth Bale
Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain
and several others who have all went on to play Premiership football.
He's going to a very good club imo.

Luke Shaw, Callum Chambers, James Ward Prowse, Nathaniel Clyne
