The Spurs Youth Thread - 2017/2018

[Disconosebleed]

Is Edwards wearing a pair of those Spice Girls trainers from the 90s? Reece Oxford is well over 6' and they look almost the same height there.

Oxford is leaning on the fence thing behind

 

[Disconosebleed]

Good spot, however if my equations are correct, for Oxford to be the same height as Edwards he'd need to be leaning back further than Michael Jackson during his highly prescient 'Smooth Criminal' phase.

He’s gonna see if can find out any details why he’s leaving.

Think it's obvious. His agent gets a fee if he moves abroad and he has better chance of playing for the first team in a couple of years.

TBF imo youth agents get an unfair reputation

In my experience a lot of parents tend to be worse

I'm refering to the rule that the fa brought in that agents can't get any fees for deals involving players under 18. Since that was brought in a lot of kids have gone abroad. It is not a coincidence.

No Spurs players involved at all in tonight’s u21 game that I recorded, don’t think I can bring myself to sit through another 80 minutes of Ady Boothroyd’s England coached to play like 1984 Watford. Think l’ll Pass.

I watched it too mate, it was mind numbingly boring. England just defended all match, no desire to go forward.

Yeah, I watched the last one, The best football was played by China in the first half. England were turgid.

I thought players under 18 weren't allowed to transfer between countries? Weren't Barcelona done for that a few years back?

I believe within EU, players can move when they turn 16. Similar to Parrott's case

Wasn't Barcelona doing it with SA youngsters though?

Sancho went to germany at 17.

 

[Flashspur]

He doesn't seem to be enjoying his holidays at all.

He looks miserable in every picture I've seen

 

[Bus-Conductor]

KWP's withdrawn and back to the club

Best thing for his football development.

 

[coys200]

Funny was watching a Pelé maradona head to head program. Watching clips of maradona made me think of Edwards ? yeah I know I know. But just his build and way he runs. Be interesting as he gets older if he’ll get that same stocky kind of build think it would serve him well. Just can’t believe Edwards will be 20 in December really is a make or break season for him you feel. I still believe he will come good.

Forgot to share this earlier:

 

[Blake Griffin]

kwp, onomah and georgiou are all another season away from needing to be registered aren't they?

 

[werty]

Yup. All three don't need be registered this season. I think KWP and Onomah can get away with it the following year too if I read the rule correctly.
