Let's fast forward a few years... What team will we be able to field from our players that are currently 25 or under?
(current 1st team squad members in italics)
I'm sure everyone could pick lots of holes and poor assumptions in that line up (Naughton prefers playing at RB for instance), and it's by no means guaranteed that all of those players will continue to develop as they have so far.
I've also missed out Sandro, I've turned Kaboom into a DF (which I think could be his best position eventually), and I've just realised that I've forgotten about Tommy H, who's only just 24! :roll:
:grin:
But that's not the point. It's not intended as an empirical piece of science or a serious suggestion for a line-up. It's an illustration, that's all.
And what an illustration! At least a few of those players are destined to play internationally IMO. People outside of Spurs are already starting to recognise the talents of Walker, Caulker and Townsend. The Leicester fans are pretty keen on Naughton. Harry Kane is the messiah, but M'Poku is also beginning to show just why we bought him.
Lennon, Bale, Kaboul, Huddlestone and several other current 1st team squad members are young enough to be around for a long while. Michael Dawson's only just turned 27, and as a CB could well remain 1st choice and our on-field captain for another 6 years.
We've got young talent and potential in every position. Our success will not be fleeting. Tottenham's revival is here to stay.
The futures's bright - the future's lilywhite.
