I'm pretty sure he's quite a big lad actually. Probably just the angle of the picture.
Which makes you Father Ted and @chinaman Father Dougal.

I am not sure they have even got that right. I thought Jonathan Miles had been released as well.OS pages concerning the Development and Academy squads have been updated by the removal of all the players who have left the club, which is a start.
Now just waiting for them to add the new Academy Year 1 and move some players from the development squad to the first team and lasst season's academy year 2 into the development squad. Wonder if that will happen before Christmas...2017 !

17 years old by all accounts.
Never ben any official confirmation from Spurs on either Musa Yahaya or Ismail Azzaoui, although the latter has played for Spurs in an u 19 tournament and when asked one at that tournnament said that he was 'almost signed'' or words to that effect - but its one reason why I'm keeping an eye on the youth pages on OS as it has been known for OS to put players up without announcing their arrival.
They're reporting a pre-contract signed with us, and then off to La Liga in September. But it would be good to have confirmation from the OS. Theyve been a bit lax with the youth stuff recently.
and here i was thinking ajax had the best academy in holland!http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...-out-the-stars-for-glory-chasers-Holland.html
Interesting aricle on the Feyenoord Academy - 5 of the Netherlands World Cup squad came through the Academy and still play for Feyenoord, whilst another 4 came through the Academy but now play elsewhere - so a total of 9 came through the Academy.
They pride themselves on giving the best young players from the academy a chance in the first team.
NB. Spurs u19's beat Feyenoord u19's 4-0 just a few months ago, suggesting our Academy is doing OK too

Feyernoord started its youth program earlier and its worked out well for them whereas Ajax after FDB is only starting to bear fruit. Feyernoord is probably the stronger team at the moment imo. These are the players they brought through since 2009:and here i was thinking ajax had the best academy in holland!
Still think we missed the boat with FDB.Its the most publicised - I heard it took a wrong turn (ironically when van Gaal was in charge) changing a few things such as skills training, and Frank de Boor is getting a lot of credit for sorting it out and re-instating the things which had changed.
