I had assumed it was simply a case of Ange preferring Destiny and Ben, and us being maxed out on non-HG squad members. There was also probably an assumption that Sess would return to fitness at some point…
Gunter has been injured I think. In some recent games we haven’t had a keeper on the bench at all. With MacGuire suspended for three games Gunter’s return is timely.
And I doubt he would have been on the tour if others such as Eyoma hadn’t been injured. But he marked Cristiano Ronaldo off the pitch.
it’s actually a great example of how you don’t know what you’ve got until you give a player a chance to show you. And of how getting - and missing - chances can...
If you’re right he’d be U21 for PL but for European competition would need to be included in NHG A list quota. In which case the loan has actually prevented him from being included in the B list next season.
Think it has always been that way, at one point I swear that our youth teams were playing on concrete pitches. Future Spurs coaches Kieran McKenna, Matty Wells and Rob Burch were among those whose careers were over before they started, as well as predicted future superstar Terry Dixon.
Not a priority to move on, but it’s probably the right time to cash in if we get an offer that works both for him and the club. Suspect he could do better than Galatasary though.
Unless Dragusin turns out a flop or is not yet considered ready as third choice, then I am not convinced that this position is a priority. Phillips is promising and Davies and Emerson have shown they can play there.
Ange used him a lot in preseason. I think ultimately it came down to the fact that we had Destiny who was younger and has a higher ceiling, and Ben who is a bigger figure in the dressing room and more versatile. Sometimes it’s not that a player isn’t any good, others are just better.
Worth remembering though that Mourinho was tipping Scarlett for England’s last World Cup squad, Pochettino thought Edwards could be as good as Messi and that Dixon and Parrott were Irish internationals before they were old enough to shave.
Moore is a very exciting prospect but let’s not hype...
European competition can put a lot of pressure on the squad, particularly if hammies keep pinging like they have this season. You really need a squad of 25, particularly as we don’t have a lot of good B list options. Devine apart, if Scarlett and Donley go on loan, which they should that only...
