Any young strikers coming through , we always seem to have loads of defenders or midfield players coming through

reo griffiths and troy parrott

CCV starts today in the Sheffield derby 1.30pm. Should be a good test for him

Reo Griffiths,he is perfect for what Pochettino is looking for,he is a massive Lad for his age,he is fast powerful and has good team work and is a very good finisher.

He started as a winger so if needed he can play out wide,one thing he is not the best at is he is not very Vocal on the pitch but in saying that he was very vocal in yesterdays match he looked well up for it and I was convinced he was going to score,he did hit the post and he had a Pen turned down in the first half.

The team Griffiths is playing in is not his team it is a very young u18s team that have played a lot of football at u16s together.

Griffiths was playing u18s last season and most of his team mates moved up to u23s leaving him to start over with a new team,but this will be a good thing in the long term because he is the senior player in the u18s team and should learn a lot this year and be a better player for it.

Reo Griffiths will be a first team player because he has everything Pochettino wants.

May well be why we went for Llorente age type player.As feel griffiths could be ready for bench in a year or two.

Sterling will probably be first up but for me Griffiths is the better player.

they play some decent stuff, if the ccv loan works out well then maybe we'll see more head their way in the future.

how did David Brooks get on, for United, he's a very interesting prospect fot me and I would hope he is at least catching the eye of some scouts at spurs

very good. quick, decent ability and a real pest. bit of a son type(played cf and wide) and caused wednesday problems all game.

ccv was solid, if unspectacular. seen some trying to pin wednesday's 2nd goal on him but think that's harsh.

 

[coys200]

Brooks did a glorious nutmeg,makes dele look an amateur lol.No idea how old looks about 15 ,but has potential.Think Chris wilder loves us ,so hopefully we'd have first dabs.

 

[therhinospeaks]

Really surprised by the views on Griffiths. Can't see him getting even remotely close in my humble opinion.

 

[therhinospeaks]

I just can't see one aspect of his game that he excels at. He's not overly fast, he is weak at holding the ball up, he hasn't got the greatest touch nor footballing brain.

 

[EQP]

So our next Uefa youth game is against Apoel and no disrespect to them but we will probably make light work of them. Real hit them for 10 goals last time. I would hope with our current injury crisis, Poch would promote Edwards and TOB for the CL game.

it'll be tob and georgiou on the bench.

love to see Bennets get the nod instead of Georgiou deserves it on merit.

They're doing an open training with first team now. I am guessing our youth are there for the CL youth clash but if Edwards was training with the first team there'd be 5,000,000 posts about it I think.

 

[npearl4spurs]

Eriksen's out against APOEL so more chance for people to be upset Edwards doesn't come in.

tbf I wish he was going to come in to get his chance, but willing to wait if that's what is best for him

 

[coys200]

Georgiou as our 1st youth attacking option is pretty odd.Must be 3 or 4 obviously ahead of him.Might just be an age maturity thing.

 

[Scot-Spur]

Any idea if it's getting shown on tv?

My suspicion (wait for Doh ratings from itks) is last year Edwards struggled with the physicality of the first team and he had a couple quiet injuries that never seemed related to matches and my guess is were training related. This year the plan for him is to focus on strength conditioning. Poch and JM will still give youth player first team training oportunitiea but are extra cautious about what physical level that player is at.

not on bt and don't think uefa are streaming it. the two games against madrid will be televised though.
