The Spurs Youth Thread – 2016/2017

[Romulus]

If onomah does not fulfil the Dembele role I'm certain TOB can judging by those clips

top, top drawer player

 

[yankspurs]

I don't know if I'd call it the wrong appointment, if short a short term boost is what they're after then Jose is your man. What I would say is it makes the suffering endured under LVG almost completely pointless. He stuck around because he was doing the difficult work of moving on the old guard and giving some of their youngsters experience. If they're just going to ditch those same youngsters now what was the point?

United hit the panic button. No, LVG was not a great manager and probably deserved to be sacked, but Mourinho was completely the wrong replacement. United had a plan for the future and the seeds already planted. They then took that plan and shredded it in favor of trying to buy short term success by spending exorbitant amounts while ignoring the long term by hiring a manager who is terribly averse to using young players

Giffiths is my new favorate spurs player

Yeah looks good and has very good technique but looks more physically developed than his peers so will be interesting to see if he stands out through the age groups

Yeah I was going to say he looks good. Great finishes in that video.

Dominic Ball apparently going to Rotherham on a permanent deal.

I guess this is from this article:

He's also just followed Rotherham on Twitter.

Good move for him that ...

 

[Spurzinho]

If true, good luck Dom. Hope he does himself proud.

so we consider walkes as a better cb than ball?

I dont think so but I see Walkes as this groups livermore

 

[Sweech]

so we consider walkes as a better cb than ball?

I liked him better in what was an extremely small sample size of 1 pre-season game each.

I was quite impressed with Walkes' reading of the game. Ball looked like he was playing checkers and reacting purely to what was happening in front of him, whereas Walkes was playing chess and reacting to what was going to happen.

 

[coy-spurs1882]

well poch certainly would not let him leave if he rates him, i hoped ball can develop into a dier-esque dm though...hope he does well at rotherham

Hope we have a buy back clause.

Moroyin Omolabi is 16? jesus christ he's physically developed.

 

[coy-spurs1882]

I cannot find Oliver Skipp on the lists, is he too young to sign a contract?

 

[Spurzinho]

He's still an U16.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Moroyin Omolabi is 16? jesus christ he's physically developed.

So we have him and TOB is centre mid - I think I'd sh*t myself if I played against them now, let alone when I was 16. They are seriously big guys.

TOB looks some talent though

Hope we have a buy back clause.

Do these clauses exist in the contracts of English footballers?

 

[Annekcma]

I'd imagine we would use sell on % clauses rather than buying back ones.
