With the clubSurprisingly I'd say I agree with this sentiment. Why the bloody hell not eh? You wouldn't happen to know where he is by any chance would you?

Stick him at RW, where he's been playing with the national teamBut he will do less than Walker...
So is Andros. Doesnt track back. Doesnt add anything besides pace. Doesnt press. Yedlin at least tracks back(out of habit due to being an RB for Seattle) and looks to cross the ball.Of course he could do worse, he could be a total liability at this level
Need max points out of this one and QPR to have a chance. Doubtful though.
Would like to see Yedlin get a game. Cant do worse than Townsend, that's for sure.

It wasnt a great game by him at all, but to put it in perspective, he had a game in Seattle 3 days prior and only had like 1 day of training with the national team at our training center.I saw Yedlin play v Colombia a few months back.
IMO he is 18 months minumum away from our 1st team.
I'll put it in perspective for you.It wasnt a great game by him at all, but to put it in perspective, he had a game in Seattle 3 days prior and only had like 1 day of training with the national team at our training center.
I would have agreed with you, but we saw Poch give Ade 2 straight starts after 2 months of being far from the 18. And also threw Capoue and Kaboul in for a game too after being far from the 18Considering he was one of the guys that was left behind for the trip to Italy, where the team stayed en extra day to train, and the entire squad, apart from Adebayor, Kaboul, Capoue, Ceballos and Yedlin went, I'd say he probably pretty far from even making the match day squad. My gut feeling tells me that he'll maybe get in the match day squad very late in the season.
Just my two cents.
Could be or might not be. You dont know. You havent seen him play for us yet. And neither have I. I just go by what I see from him for the US and what I saw from him for Seattle. From what I see, he at least looks to cross the ball when he gets into position. A foreign concept for Townsend. So it might be worth playing him over Townsend when we need to add pace into the team.I'll put it in perspective for you.
He's not ready.
He's made what, one start for the U21s? And was apparently pretty poor, yet he's ready to come in to the first XI. I know you want him to do well because he's American, but come on...Could be or might not be. You dont know. You havent seen him play for us yet. And neither have I.

I'd reason to guess our Belgian lot would know. They had to deal with him for 95 minutes in the WC when he was thrown on after like 25 due to Johnson's injury and proceeded to keep Hazard in his pocket all game
I want Spurs to do well. And from what I have seen recently. We are in dire need of someone who can not inly inject pace into the team, but also looks to lay in a cross when he stretches the opposition.He's made what, one start for the U21s?

Still, massive progress has been made this season, totally impressed.

I can't tell you how many times i wanna pull my hair out watching Townsend and Walker constantly get into position then just either pass it back to each other and get it back to the center of the final third outside of the box or just lose it altogether. It's infuriating. At least Yedlin not only looks to cross the ball, but also does it fairly well.
I'm not only advocating him because he's American. If he was any other nationality, I'd say the same thing. From what i see, we need someone to stretch defenses and also lay in a cross into the box and give us a chance to score. We have someone like that at the club. Might as well give him a shot and see what he can do.
