The Spurs Youth Thread – 2016/2017

[Spurzinho]

As IG says, we're not talking about the contracted players. Your mates kid will be in the community group squads. They help the club fulfil its obligations to grassroots development, the local community as well as bringing any talented local youngsters to the club's attention. A few of our contracted players started off in the community program.

That's what I thought initially. I hadn't heard of elite squad and assumed it was one of our links. Be strange to shit down actual academy teams, though as you say it definitely serves a good purpose

Agreed. Shitting down a team of adults is horrible enough, but my God not the children.

This may have been a repeat but just watched an interesting program on SS1 about out of contract players from the summer just gone. It featured 5 players and one of them was Sonupe. He had been at Spurs since he was 10 and then released at around 20, really is quite difficult for these lads to then find a pro club when they haven't got much experience. He was one of the lucky ones and got a 1 year deal at Northampton after trials with Birmingham,Charlton, Millwall and a few others. Hopefully he's not in the same position next year though, so far he's only played one game I think.

Looked like he played well.

Weird that he walked off in the opposite direction when they scored...

Looking forward to the UCL game today. It's a must win!

Later kick off today - 3PM BT Sports.

Does anyone know if Edwards is likely to feature in the game??

Does anyone know if Edwards is likely to feature in the game??

Yes if he isn't on 1st team bench, which I doubt he would be

Thanks will try to watch the match very excited about Edwards coming through

 

[Goldman]

Does anyone know if Edwards is likely to feature in the game??

Highly likely I'd say.

So Edwards was seen training with the first team in Germany but has been left out of the youth league team?

Very strange decision.

 

[DezFitz]

Edwards on the bench tonight then? Fantastic news for him if so.

 

[nightgoat]

If he's not in the u19 squad the only reason can be because he's either picked up a knock or is going to be in the squad tonight. If the latter, at whose expense with Kane the only forward unavailable?

 

[Mikegold]

Watching the game on BT, first time I've ever actually watched the youth. Who should I care about / what are they like?

I know the obvious, KWP, Walkes, Harrison

Oakley-Boothe is very highly rated as well.

#thfc Marcus Edwards is injured.

Woo 1-0, great team goal finished off by Jack Roles.

Early impressions that KWP is pretty good like everyone says, no one else really standing out, all play 6-7/10 although Tracey annoys me

Look out for Tanganga too

Good ball in that.
