In the last year or so upon realising that our youth team seemed to win every single game they played I began to pay attention to the youth side.
I actually believe we have an outstanding set of youngsters currently out on loan and think the existing setup of loaning them out on 'youth' loan contracts, whilst bringing them back for the Youth Cup etc is pukka.
Have been following their progress whilst out on loan and here is my opinion for what its worth on those that I believe have a big future at spurs!!!
Bostock - everyone knows about him obviously. But he has absolutely everything. Pace, power and his touch is class and always seems to demand the ball. My friends are Millwall season ticket holders and they said he was absolutely incredible on his debut for Brentford against them and was clearly a level above. Made me laugh that everyone went on about Livermore (who def wont make it at spurs!) after his goal against Barca when even inside 10 minutes was clear that Bostock was the one that looked the real deal for me.
Caulker - on loan at Yeovil and is playing every single game at CB for them at the age of 17!!! that alone says something considering he is a CB. Like to know how many other CB's are playing week in week out at 17. Not seen alot of him myself but on 606 Yeovil fans have been raving about him saying he has prob been their player of the season so far.
Townsend - Kid has so much ability. Can play right or left side and skins players for fun. Again been smashing it in league 1. Im sure you see his run and goal from the half way line earlier in the season. A leeds fan on 606 actually wrote an article on the spurs board because of how impressive he was against Leeds at Elland Road when they beat Orient 1-0 (i think) earlier in the season. Was an article in the telegraph about him recently and how everyone in league 1 was just crunching him because they cant handle him.
Mason - Technically he seems superb. Think he could have a big future but may need to bulk up a bit to make it at the top level. Is great for him playing for Yeovil in League 1 as has been playing CM aswel as off the front man so can only be good experience for him.
Anyone seen them play in league 1 this season? been impressed/unimpressed by any of them?
Im convinced the top 3 will def make it at Spurs. If they do then would be absolutely fantastic for us.
