Yay!

Obviously I am thrilled after all my anxious posting on the topic ( though still concerning to hear today one of our posters saying his agents were seeking out Chelsea for a move rather than the other way around)- any must get games clauses we can be aware of here Breezer

So he isn't the new Sol Campbell and Sky Andrew isn't trying to turn him against us? ;)

Lol- I was informed what I was informed and shared it...

Hopefully he'll go onto become an all time great here and the background influences whosoever they are will make plenty of money as a result without leaving Spurs

Good to see our young players getting used to winning things. Bodes well for the future to have this mind set.(y)

Anyone who watches the youth team a lot know what Shilow Tracey's position is likely to end up being? I've seen him described as a right back, a winger and a central midfielder previously, but more recently he seems to have been playing up front?

hard to say as he doesn't really excel in any one particular area, he's just a shorter sissoko really.

cartilagefreecaptain have started doing their prospect rankings - honourable mentions

for reference, here's their list from 2015 and 2013

Random that they've included Troy Parrottt. I assumed, it was those on scholarships and older otherwise there are loads of players that can be included.

I assume their list is going to be something like this, unless they count Onomah as having significant minutes, then they'll replace him with Sterling

KWP, CCV, Edwards, Onomah, Shashoua, Eyoma, Harrison, Miller, Maghoma, Tracey

Also impressively that the top 7 from the 2013 list, all ply their trade in the PL bar Pritchard who we know was likely to be used but for an injury at the wrong time.

tob and roles will be there i'd have thought, probably walkes as well given the american link. technically nkoudou fits their criteria but not sure if they'll include him. it's difficult though when they're all at different stages of their development so do you go purely on potential or who's closest to playing first team football, or a mix of the two.

Looks like we've missed out on the Orient boys. Abrahams seems to have tied up a deal to go to Norwich & Alzate has gone to Brighton. How serious our interest was I have no idea but we were definitely watching them. Fees will probably be undisclosed but believed to be £250k for Abrahams & £400k for Alzate. Their young right back Judd is apparently next to leave with striker Sam Dalby possibly close behind. Its a shame for the club, these lads could have been the backbone of the side over the next couple of years but their previous chairman has right royally shafted them and their best youngsters are attracting interest from League clubs and there's nothing the new regime can do.

Duh, completely forgot about TOB somehow. Roles is also a popular shout. I assume it would mainly be filled up of players that have been in the media or taken on tour, so Tracey and Miller. Reckon one of them will still be in, and actually Maghoma removed

On the bright side that money should help sustain them while they're stuck in the non-league.
