The Spurs Youth Thread - 2018/19

[Tottenhamboy85]

But if he can score a hat trick against the first team, he turn some heads.

Probably not a turned head but maybe a half raised eyebrow

How about an Ancelotti eyebrow?

[Romulus]

a lot of coaches leaving the club in the lower age groups. hopefully not too disruptive

 

[bat-chain]

What the fuck is going on.

 

[chinaman]

Hope all those leaving are on good terms. Better still be on some sort of retainers, so they can recommend to us any young players with potential they come across.

Mk have some good talent tbf I get to watch a lot of the academy as a ex academy scout for them and my son being a academy ref.

Not sure they have any good enough for Spurs but certainly a couple I’m keeping my eyes on.

It's pretty simple, Wells, Parker, Goodman, they've all left to take up more senior roles at smaller clubs. Shows we're getting talented, ambitious people in, but it's always gonna be hard to keep them when Poch's first team coaching squad is so tight, and McDermott is so powerful as the academy. These guys are all looking for a pathway to progress their career.

 

[Spurzinho]

Its always been this way. It can be disappointing when you lose talented young coaches but they have ambitions too.

 

[spurs9]

He had only been here 6 months.

 

[Locotoro]

What the fuck is going on.

If other clubs are poaching our coaches it means we have good coaches

Ye BLF is playing DM. Doing well, I think we're the more dominant but struggling to carve out real chances. Shashouas goal was an own goal as it came off the post hit the keeper and went in.

Fulham have some good players and very well set up, but they've been stifled

 

[coys200]

3-0

Shashoua 2 and markanday

 

[coys200]

Wonder if they will Skipp against Arsenal on Tuesday pretty much title decider.

Surely that depends entirely on whether Skipp is in the sqaud for Palace or not?

Yup but he’s not gonna start Vs palace at best would be on bench.

4-0 now Thorpe

 

[Blake Griffin]

arsenal won 8-0 today so they're not letting up.

although it's all about development i'm sure we'll be playing to win on tuesday, though i wouldn't expect skipp to be involved.

 

[Luka Van der Bale]

Would be surprised. Think the match at the new stadium was a one-off.

 

[C0YS]

What the fuck is going on.

People are leaving for better jobs to develop there career. It's not complicated and it's normal for youth management to be a pretty short term gig.
