Spurs U21’s, U18’s and other youth news – 2015/16 Edition

I agree, but if there is no space on the 1st team squad, send him out on loan.

Not debating whether he should be loaned or not I am just saying that I just feel if we lose a CM he will step into the first team and Poch will try and have him integrated in the next couple of years. So while he appears behind now he isn't that far behind as he will be 21 then. But watching him play he is more than ready for first team.

He is a class above on the pitch in midfield

Think Winks has been our best player this half.

 

[agrdavidsfan]

Never seen Miller before but he has awesome feet really impressive

Winks is the stand out we need to get this guy a loan he's quality can do what Carroll does what also has that extra drive!

Andros as well hats off easy not to try in these games but he's being a good example!

Carter Vickers is also very impressive

Shame we can't find a solution for veljkovic but if Fazio leaves I think vickers can do a job

 

[beats1]

I dont get this post, are you saying you don't rate him and he isnt as good as people make him out to be? Or are you saying he needs to be loaned out?

Loaned out, a waste of talent to be on the bench he hasnt progressed at all its a joke

 

[agrdavidsfan]

Busy, technically good, plays with his head up, good passer, comfortable on the ball under pressure.

Nice header Shaq

Reminds me of Scott Parker no idea why

 

[DaSpurs]

He has to have been instructed to do that, which is weird. That is where he is best at, but we dont typically play with anyone on the wing besides for the full backs.

Shame IMO, as I think we still badly need more pacey options in the first team. Still believe that Townsend on a big, open pitch is a dangerous player.

Not sure if he's been specifically coached for this one or not, as he initially was trying to work Da Silva. Da Silva clearly knows the direction Townsend favors, and is showing him down the touchline. Has mostly fouled when there's a lack of support behind. Smart player, Da Silva.

They are missing a lot as well mate:

Solanke - 18 age group
Feruz - 19 age group

Brown - 18 age group
RLC - 19 age group
Houghton - 19 age group
Boga - 18 age group

Christiansen - 19 age group

If you include Grant Wards age group then you got
Swift
Davey
Chalobah
Baker
Ake

TBH, forgot how old Ward was. My point stands though, you are being very harsh on us.

Can see the comparison, but technically a lot better. Passing, vision, composure and decent dribbler

 

[DaSpurs]

Easily. Hasn't been the most beautiful match, but I can't imagine being a Championship scout and not being intrigued with the availability of a player of the level of Winks'.

 

[Phate]

Did i read somewhere that Veljkovic is leaving?? If so, why's he playing?

 

[agrdavidsfan]

Maybe,
Parker In his younger charlton days I am seeing but it's not a dig at him he really looks a prospect how come nobody has tried to loan him?!

They probably have more depth but I wouldn't say those players are better than ours. You make a best 11 from players 94 and younger and we are equal or probably better. They have just kept a load of players and sent them on loan whereas we have trimmed the fat when we don't think they're good enough

 

[agrdavidsfan]

Guess it's a lack of other options?

Didn't think you were diggin him was just saying he seems to have Parker's build and doggedness but just with improved ability.
We have had many options to loan even in this window we just appear to be holding him to keep round the squad

 

[edson]

The ball is take some very weird bounces when it comes down and hits the ground. The pitch is awful.

I remember being shocked at the state of the pitch before the season started.

Scott parker is a good comparison, I think the only reason he gets compared to carroll is because he is small and a decent passer

TBH, forgot how old Ward was. My point stands though, you are being very harsh on us.

I only said they are missing just as many big guns as us if not more. We are missing some big players just like us but at the same time I would say we have one proven PL on the pitch and then 2/3 players who would be very good Championship players(that said imo this isn't bringing the best of them and the CB's are coasting imo)

I don't think thats being harsh. Yes we are playing some players out of position and missing some players but we are also playing a strong team

That's interesting!

Really really like him....just seems to be an all round centre mid which is what we need!

Loved the the fancy flick pass in the first half as well as his trick footwork for the free kick

 

[nightgoat]

Is this Sky Sports or Chelsea TV? Coverage is so incredibly biased.

I agree we are similar in quality overall but we do have more experience, as for our 94's and younger are better. With the way their players are playing on loan, Im not so sure.

Christensen, Baker, Solanke(last time I checked), Swift and Ake are having a great year.

If I was being harsh, I don't think any of our loan players are having a great year bar Ogilvie and perhaps Ball

 

[DaSpurs]

It's bad, very bad. Wouldn't be surprised if the ref didn't consider briefly if the pitch wasn't quite acceptable.
