Yes I didDid you mean Rose Improved under poch? I don't think he improved under Jose

Been suggested before we buy a right back we’re gonna look at our academy.
I‘m all for that tbh as rather than splashing cash hopefully giving Lavinier a chance, otherwise what’s the point in our youth set up!
As we should have done with KWP who was handled very poorly by Poch.
(hope it’s okay to put this here but seemed best place to comment).
Great to see so many youth players involved ( even if it's due to the lack of 1st team players). What stood out to me is how strong and composed Nile John is. Look forward to seeing him feature in the friendlies.

Noni still isn't on the level Bergwijn was at PSV, same applies for Binks and TomiyasuAnybody notice who will be in the frame at Bologna to replace their centre half if we buy him - Luis Binks. So € 20-25 on him and about the same for Bergwein who was replaced at PSV by ...Noni from us. Seems cheaper to make these players top paid when they are at Spurs to ensure they don't leave than pay big money to replace them with arguably inferior players.
I’m not going to go into an argument on who is inferior or not. The think is there is the reason you pay more for players like Bergwijn is because it’s less risky than say, Lewis Binks. For every young player with potential without pro experience that succeeds there are tons more that fail. Paying ott wages for potential isn’t the way to go, and can be an expensive mistake that can also hinder development. Say we get this guy in from Bologna, and they get Binks may play and develop better for sure, or he may really not, the same will apply to our signing but there is more evidence and reliability that they can perform to a particular level.Anybody notice who will be in the frame at Bologna to replace their centre half if we buy him - Luis Binks.

the way edwards, onomah and kwp was treated by poch somehow pushed these players out of the club as they thought they won't get a chance with usAnybody notice who will be in the frame at Bologna to replace their centre half if we buy him - Luis Binks.

The issue isn’t so much wages as opportunities. It’s difficult for a club competing at a high level to provide opportunities for young players to show their potential and develop as players. That said there are clubs that do it better than Spurs.Anybody notice who will be in the frame at Bologna to replace their centre half if we buy him - Luis Binks.

Onomah couldn’t get in the Fulham team that went down. Edwards acted like a prat at Norwich. KWP is the one who should not have gone.the way edwards, onomah and kwp was treated by poch somehow pushed these players out of the club as they thought they won't get a chance with us
Bit Harsh considering his injuriesOnomah couldn’t get in the Fulham team that went down. Edwards acted like a prat at Norwich. KWP is the one who should not have gone.
Bit Harsh considering his injuries
At the end of the season he was an important player for them the season before despite having knee surgery in weeks before the end of the season
Start of last season he got injured again and missed half of the season and never got back in to the team after being injured for over 6 months
the mismanagement by poch hindered his development and eventually resulted in thisOnomah couldn’t get in the Fulham team that went down. Edwards acted like a prat at Norwich. KWP is the one who should not have gone.
He played quite a few games in the first team and it all looked too much for him. Why does everybody want to blame Poch because a youth player isn’t good enough.the mismanagement by poch hindered his development and eventually resulted in this

I agree his policy of train with the first team and no loans was wrong. The vast majority of our youth players will be nowhere near out first team. If Josh is good enough he will come back to haunt us. Plenty of youth players come back to prove coaches wrong.
Rice and Nketiah both released by Chelsea at 14.
Vardy thrown out of Sheffield Utd at 16 for being a waste of time. Agreed by the man himself.
Nearly all the wonder boys at 16 yrs old never make it.
TOB and Nya Kirby hailed as top players on this thread . Can’t get a game for Stoke and Palace ..they are now 21yrs old. Both in same World Cup winning team as Sancho. Foden and Hudson-Odoi
Some make it but most do not.
I was championing Parrott 2 yrs ago but he looked lost at Millwall and Ipswich. Hope he can get going this season but looks a bit off the pace at the moment.
Wiki lists the teams in all the youth cup finals. Have a look and see how few make it. Only exception is the Man Utd team with Giggs etc. The Leeds team who beat them in one final , virtually nobody made it at Leeds.
