Nya Kirby and TOB are the best he has worked with
He called Paul a ball playing CB though

Who would be our first in line youth CB ?Tanganga? We may need them squad wise in October.

Trouble is with wanyama and rose injured .Theres no rotation for dier and Davies.And if you the 3 at the back for big games in october means Toby sanch Jan have to play every game.So for example the West Ham cup game even if you go to a 2 and play foyth means 1 of Toby Jan dier Davies have to play ,so that player will be playing every game in October.Hopefully wanyama is back so can rotate dier.Otherwise it's a bit of an issue.Or you trust foyth to play in the 3 in a big game giving someone a rest.I don't see them being used, as we have Dier , Davies, Foyth, plus Wanyama that would all likely drop into CB if needs be. Or we could just change to 2 at the back
But to answer the question, with CCV away yes I'd put Tanganga next in line

Paul was terrible at Spurs to the point I genuinely felt Sorry for him,as it stands I would Rate Tangana,BLF better CBs.Nya Kirby and TOB are the best he has worked with

You know what I just remember the Paul moved to RM and RBTbf I think Paul was a CB at u16 when I assume he was with us.
I know I've said it before, but I said when they were u16s you'd struggle to find a better midfield 2 in Europe than those 2. That's how much they impressed me. Now seeing a coach, who has coached at a club that has won numerous FAYCs and UYL's also say they are the best he's worked with is impressive, and I give myself a pat on the back. Eye for talent haha. Anyway he's named TOB has the best player he has worked with, we'll see if he is ever deemed good enough for our first team
I also wonder if he has few Spurs players in his mind when he mentions younger ones, I can think of some who have caught my eye but need to see more of them. You'll be hard pressed to standout as much as those two, though Skipp also did, and look how well he's doing now. Anyone know the timelines he worked with both clubs. He mentioned RLC and then some 9 year old at Chelsea, I wonder if he overlapped.
He was hard to stop once he got going but at RB his touch was bad and he often would trip over his own feet.You know what I just remember the Paul moved to RM and RB

BLF is looking really good isn't he so far. We really have a knack for producing CBs

He is talking about the players we have now and some of them are very young BLF is only 17.I mean if we're pumping them out why have we bought Sanchez, Toby, Wimmer, Foyth, and even Fazio in the last 3 years
I also love when a coach confirms what you've seen. It is really obvious, but you rarely get this insight from a coach. I have always said at u16s you can tell we like to encourage individuality so that when they come through we have lots of different 'types' to work with
Whats the one big difference that you noted between the culture of the 2 clubs?
Very different philosophies in terms of developing players at the younger age groups. Spurs had a much greater emphasis on individual technique. Chelsea also incorporated this but was also focused on the team and creating a winning mentality. Both clubs have had great success
I also think it is easy to see this in Chelsea, how by the time u18s come round they have very organised and dominant teams with quality players. Whereas we start a bit slower at u18s as we start developing the team side more
figured I'd try to give an update on someone we don't see mentioned in here often, Anton Walkes. I live in Atlanta, GA and try to watch when I can and tbf they are p damn good (for the MLS) and we just set the MLS attendance record in our first season at over 70k. While he has also played as a CDM he seems to have settled into the starting RB position. It's a v advanced RB position tho v similar system to that of Poch's original 4-2-3-1 RB (Walker) role. He has pace and size. I know it's the MLS but the kid is getting v valuable game time and experience in front of huge crowds looks to be a solid prospect
outside of Ledley who have we produced at CB in the last twenty years? We have improved quite a few but they were mostly bought as highly touted prospects we did not produce
I mean if we're pumping them out why have we bought Sanchez, Toby, Wimmer, Foyth, and even Fazio in the last 3 years
