am I the only one who thinks that's just a waste of a bench spot? If kwp can play both positions and we have dier and sanchez in the team, why is tripps inclusion necessary? Could have sterling on there instead

Ye but Poch needs two RBs just in case. Don't ask questions just let it happen

QPR looks a good place for our youngsters to end up at the moment. Holloway definitely giving youth a chance

Could be the shortest of short stays for Pritch in the Premier League.

He is trying to make up for lost time and rush his way to the Prem. He could have stayed at Norwich and likely be signed in the Summer by a Prem Club but no guarantee. Or take the guarantee offer and hope the club he moves to stay up. The issue is if he plays well, then he is under contract and I doubt another club will pay over 12m for him which Huddersfield will want when he will only have 6 months Prem experience. Let's hope Huddersfield stay up

We are playing in the Jugend Euro Cup again in Germany. It's an u17 tournament. WE won last year and Eyoma and TOB featured, I wonder if any of our first years have gone again. Updates are here, hopefully they'll post some games http://www.jugend-eurocup.de/jec/index.php/aktuelle-ergebnisse.html

Also I believe our u15s or 14s are in a tournament somewhere in Austria. Can't find any info though. If someone does then post.

Here is a pic posted on Jugend website of our u16s, a couple are missing from the photo, but reckon we'll lose 2-3 of these wouldn't want to lose anymore

I think time will tell on this one - I am not convinced that Poch has actually changed his views on loans and think that CCV and Onomah are just as likely to be sold this summer as come back to compete for a 1st team spot.

I hope they both make it here at Spurs, but I do wonder if this season was not about raising the value of both players by sending them out on loan. If I had to guess today, CCV will be sold, and Onomah loaned out again next season.
Can't blame Poch and the staff if they want to move CCV on. While I rate CCV he isnt at a level to compete at a premier league level let alone spurs and needs to build himself at a good club that will give him a chance to grow with expierence.

Onomah there is no excuse, for him not to make it here would be a massive a let down from Poch.

I think Pritch has made some bad choices when it comes to moves.

it's quite simple KWP is good enough to play LB at the premier league level, but not good enough to play on his natural side :facepalm::rolleyes:

3-0 now and I predict that our sub will be Wanyama, Lamela and Llorente. I hope I'm wrong though.
