Did I say he was bad in Training?you really think that if he was especially bad in training Poch would be keeping him around, consistently naming him on the bench and Spurs would continually be giving him new contracts?

Doesn’t make a difference really. We will still have the same number of non-homegrown playersOnly trouble is, given our well-documented problems with the HG player quota, selling Trippier rather than Aurier only makes that worse.

Have faith... or just keep them on the roster for HG spots?Have faith in CCV, KWP and Onomah then HG limit wouldn't be a problem next season.
I like the sentiment, as I do believe we could get so much more value from our academy. But the kids still have to meet a high standard before we just start keeping them around for HG status sake.Have faith in CCV, KWP and Onomah then HG limit wouldn't be a problem next season.
Yeah but the whole idea was that KWP would be taking there place, so it makes no difference.It does because if we sold Aurier we could replace him with either a HG or non-HG player whereas if we sell Trippier we would only be able to register a HG player in his place because we've already maxed out our non-HG limit. We've already only got a 24 man squad due to this problem.

But you said selling Trippier instead of Aurier makes our HG situation worse, but it doesn't if we are replacing him with KWP, it stays the same.But the HG issue is a squad wide thing so even if KWP would replace him in the position, the HG problem would still be a factor with whoever it was we were signing next whether it be a fullback, midfielder or whatever. If we get rid of a non-HG player, regardless of position, it frees up room for either another non-HG player OR a HG player. Which position they play in is irrelevant

I'm sure someone says this every time the HG discussion comes up - there is no such thing as a "HG quota". What there is is a limit on the number of over-21 non-HG players and that limit is currently 17.
A player qualifies as homegrown if they have been registered to an English or Welsh club for 3 full years prior to their 21st birthday. This season, a player is considered to be U21 if they were born in 1997 at the earliest.

In my humble opinion he isn't ready, particularly for tonight's game but I'm sure he'll rise to the occasion and do himself proud, I guess everyone will need to do that though.
You obviously haven't understood his point. There is no HG quota - a squad can have zero HG players if it wants to. There is a quota on non-HG players.Just semantics. Quota, limit, ratio, call it what you want it doesn't make any difference to the point anyone was making.
