The Spurs Youth Thread – 2016/2017

[mill]

Split discussion, I think your main paragraph is for the Onomah discussion. Patterson was also being discussed though

Yeah is Phoenix Patterson highly promising? I've seen nothing since the ccv, Oduwa, veijkovic generation

maybe but it's too early to say. the loan discussion is with regards to ccv and onomah, not patterson, he's still in school lol.

Yeah sorry I think I've crossed wires here, forget my opinion on loans I'm more curious of Patterson's potential more than anything else

He looked very good at u16s and seems to already be translating that to our u18s, I definitely say he's one of our most promising at that age group but need to see a lot more esp at 18s to form a more solid opinion

Winger/AM I get the impression?

When it comes to the benefits of loans to develop youth, I think it all depends on the individual player. Some players that rely on the technical and cognitive mental strengths and already know the game well, don't need to go out on loan and in some cases loans can actually hurt players development ie. Mason, Carroll even Rose's career was stalling with the loans before the Sunderland loan.
But I think some players that are more physically reliant, need to go out to gain experience and know how, to learn the mental side of things that you have to do on a pitch to win games. We've seen Walker, Caulker, Townsend all improve their level out on loan. It's a delicate balance and down to the coaching staff to know the players coming through well enough to make such a descion, but there it's so important to get it right to help each player transition to the first team.

Never seen a player score so many own goals. Hopefully he comes back from this

I'm sure he will, I mean he was substituted on to fill in at CB for the last 10 minutes. Not exactly an easy situation for even the best players to handle. He will from this, I am sure.

Anyone going to the FAYC semi final at the lane or stamford bridge?? if anything like last season should be a great semi

New rules being implemented to stop academy players being tapped up.

I wonder if Kirby might come under it. I imagine other clubs would have been on his line while he was under contract with us. Speaking of Kirby he scored a penalty as Palace u23s came back from 2 - 0 down against Charlton

Can also play CM I believe

Definitely going to the lane, likely going to the bridge

Think at whl. My mate said £5 a ticket £3 for season ticket holders. Meant to be going if things pan out.

Roles has a real composure in and around goal. I like him a lot.

Seems to score an incredible amount for a central midfielder...
