    The Spurs Youth Thread - 2018/19

    This Tottenham side plays some lovely stuff. That was fun to watch after the dodgy start.

    No I remember the things you used to say about Dier and how you rated him against academy players nowhere near his level. We're above players like Chiriches or Stambouli now. We intended for Sissoko to be above them as well and above any potential academy suitor. If he isn't that's entirely...

    The Spurs Youth Thread - 2017/2018

    I think that players you've taken a similar tone with in the past have left Tottenham and gone on to not meet the standard you make out it's obvious they can sustain. "Do you really think Carroll/Veljkovic couldn't do what Dier does the guy is just a defensive busy body type blah blah". But...

    How is KWP a good example? He's very clearly still in the plans of the club, just signed a contract and by all accounts looks as though he's going to get much more of an opportunity next season. A better example would be a player that the club has let go that's gone on to prove the club wrong...

    Just not true though. Or perhaps you want to pitch to their parents "Yeh we just don't think your son is good enough to make it here, but you could save us a few quid by agreeing to be a squad player for a couple of years". Any youth player that isn't seen as a potential starting player in the...

    The question posed is a stupid one riddled in hindsight. We knew everything about Veljkovic we have the opinions of teams of coaches and senior management. We didn't have the same extent of knowledge about Sissoko. We've seen Poch get levels out of players that they hadn't seen at any point in...

    How can you say that with a straight face when he has proven he wasn't and isn't at the level of Dier. These overblown stupid assessments of youth players is part of the problem. I recall people explaining in great detail on here how amazing Tom Carroll is, how much better than Dier he is. Yet...

    He didn't want to be in our squad... he wanted first team football and he certainly wasn't and isn't good enough for that at Tottenham.

    The Spurs Youth Thread - 2017/2018

    Every player that has left the club in recent years has proven they are not at the level required to be at a top 4 Premier League side, and the likes of Winks and KWP are still very clearly in the clubs plans. It's completely reasonable for decent level footballers to come from our academy and...

    KWP just won England the game with an amazing block in the final minute of added time. Onomah looked great as well.

    The Mauricio Pochettino thread

    I had noticed the last few months Poch had started barely speaking about long term at Tottenham and being pretty standoffish about the Real links. It used to be he would talk about the long term project every week but he had stopped that. There have been some rumours this week about Poch...

    The Spurs Youth Thread - 2017/2018

    My issue with most of this narrative is that it's complete guess work. You know as much as me about the true problems with either Poch or Edwards, nothing. There just seems to be this tendency to absolve any youth player where it goes wrong and pin it all on Poch. Do you think Poch had Edwards...

    Hard-work personified the push and run style that made the club famous. Talent doesn't get you very far without the hard-work.

    The Spurs Youth Thread - 2017/2018

    Don't you think it's a bit presumtive for various youth watchers I've seen on here and twitter to push a narrative that Poch is holding Edwards back rather than Edwards holding himself back?

    Tbh I can see where people are coming from with the obsession with Marcus Edwards thing. He's been built up into something that so far he hasn't proven to be. It's one thing having the talent he has, but it's all for nothing if he can't show the right attitude and dedication to see it through...

    The Spurs Youth Thread - 2017/2018

    At the end of the day Pochettino wants these players to progress every bit as much or even more so than any fan. The youth coaches and Pochettino have a much more complete picture of these players than anybody else so I think these conversations where we question their judgement is always a...

    It's all Pochettino's own words as interpreted by Balague. It's Pochettino's book.
