[Blake Griffin]

Number 64, Joe Dearman, is new to me.

Any of our youth watchers know much about him?

never heard of him either.

Any of our youth watchers know mpage-298 t him?

Talk of him being an u14 as of February 2016, here: http://www.spurscommunity.co.uk/ind...-youth-news-–-2015-16-edition.120448/page-298 (via @IGSpur)

I would like to see Anthony Georgiou get some games with the 1st team this season, he looked very impressive in pre-season.

Believe he is a midfielder. Would be an u16 now I think and I know a lot of em and hadn't heard of him for a while so assumed he was released. If this is correct, prob still here.

Inclusion probably just random as even if he was here he's obviously not part of the squad

Funnily enough just looking through message board of the football squads website and the admin dude also said he hadn't hear so of him either lol - he's a bit of a mystery one!

We've handed out squad numbers to a shit load of our youth players very early in the season!

http://www.footballsquads.co.uk/eng/2017-2018/faprem/tottenha.htm

A suggestion, are those numbers for the youth players not the numbers they have on their training kit, rather than squad numbers for the first team. Every player coming into the Academy has a number.

 

[kursaal]

Any idea about who to expect in our cup game against Luton Town tomorrow? Presumably Marcus Edwards will start?

No, site policy is that we only include numbers that have been registered with the Premier League which they issue out in a document.

Dearman is almost certainly an oversight. He's in the U16s but not a standout. He's certainly not on the verge of breaking through into the first team.

 

[littlewilly]

As the beers carry on, my pride in KWP grows. Class lad.

And what a brilliant post-match interview. Modest, well-spoken, lots of smiles. Seems a nice young man.

hopefully, although he only started training last week so they might think it's too soon for him. presumably whiteman, oakley-boothe and georgiou will drop back down from the first team and i hope poch lets ccv play too.

 

[WindyCOYS]

No Harrison or Amos tomorrow due to slight injuries.

Completely random. You know if he is still with USA's said earlier not heard much recently.

 

[danielneeds]

Could these squad numbers have something to do with the U23 side playing in the the EFL Cup..?

 

[JamieSpursCommunityUser]

Seen Cam for a couple of seasons in the youth team. The one reservation I have is that he doesn't have a lightning first five yards That said he is certainly not slow and as a centre back of a very young age he is still learning his trade and developing a better positional awareness will compensate for any shortcomings.

He is very exciting player iimo

Carter-Vickers problem seems to be his body shape is often leaning or facing the wrong way, which comes down to reading the game.

If you watch Toby and Jan they're always poised for the ball over the top so they can get their body in front of the attacker.

Jan and Dier have talked about it in interviews, it's obviously something Poch has them work on.

Easily fixed with our meticulous coaching.

 

[Clark28]

going by the player's twitter Juan Pablo Gonzalez has left us to sign for Deportivo Lugo

 

[WindyCOYS]

I don't think so, sadly. I am going to the match with @therhinospeaks and I know a few others that are going too including @TottenhamLegend, so there should be pretty decent Twitter coverage.

Can you facetime it for me lol?

Those concerned with CCV's initial pace / acceleration / agility I can see where you're coming from, but I would also say that none of Dier, Toby or Jan are rapid so CCV couldn't really ask for better mentors in getting the best out of his natural attributes. There is always going to be attacking players who are faster or more agile than you. If he can learn his positioning and reading of the game from Toby for example then that goes a long way to overcoming any physical short-comings he may or may not have. Not to mention, as discussed above, Poch is a damn good coach at improving players, even established first teamers let alone young guys coming through, so all in all not too concerned with him thus far.
