The Spurs Youth Thread - 2018/19

[Westmorlandspur]

I hope we can see him playing up front with Kane in the next couple of year.

If Ireland are in the next euros there is every chance he will be in the squad at18. They are very short of forwards. Shane Long ? Martin O’Neill was at the under 17 euros and will be well aware of him. Expect him to be playing in uefa youth lge for us. Should show how good he is.

ITK saying Edwards being given a final chance to get his head down and do as he's asked.

Let's hope the penny has finally dropped and we seem him take it.

 

[Flashspur]

Hope he does as he has the talent. He will have to change his attitude and work ethic but he has the ability to succeed if he is serious about his future.

If I’m being honest I think he should leave for his own best. With Grealish coming in I can’t see him get much minutes if any. It’s sad but that’s the reality. And even if he does keep his head down and performs well in training when is he going to get chances and be a real first team player, just look at KWP it looks like he will be stuck as the third choice RB again

Think there's a chance we might see him climb back into the Premier League in similar way as Dean Marney did.

who? Walkes!!

Think there's a chance we might see him climb back into the Premier League in similar way as Dean Marney did.

As I say the majority of the players we produce could hold their own in a PL match or two, but it's about doing it consistently. I think his ability is decent and he has a good physique but he was so unreliable and inconsistent. I can only imagine we really saw something in him as we invested so much time and energy appearing to focus on his development and sacrificed others in the process. As a result he did improve somewhat but nowhere near to the level where we could use him, but he's now reached a level where if he worked on his concentration he could potentially end up in a PL squad as a fullback. And he would really need to improve his focus if he wants to become a CB.

Ultimately I wonder if it was all worth it? I remember Amos was played out of position to accommodate him, then he was played as a no.10 when we had other more talented players sitting on the bench, that year became a bit ridiculous. Either way, I wish him all the best and he always seemed like a really decent person. I reckon he will most likely become a utility player for a squad for a Championship team.

Anyone know why Omari Forsun isn't with this group?

No but I doubt it's anything to be concerned about if that's what you're getting at. Players miss tournaments quite regularly I think, and it could be something as simple as his family were going on holiday during the time.

They have 3 brackets for next round. Last night match was kind of a friendly match. So no point allocated. We will play in a bowl bracket(all 2nd place from the group stage)

This is an article from my local Norwegian newspaper and his club Bryne:
https://www.aftenbladet.no/100Sport...a-skal-han-trene-med-storklubben-258365b.html
http://www.brynefk.no/nyheter/solberg

It says he's travelling over on monday to train and play a match. Spurs discovered him on a Norwegian U15 national team camp earlier this year. He turned 15 last month, 190cm and has 2 matches for Norway U15 and got his debut for Bryne 2 in Norwegian 4th division at the age of 14 this year.

If we sign him he would join our u16s and compete with our already talented keeper in that age group Tobi Oluwayemi in that age group. If he is already playing adult football that is very impressive though. I imagine we might try and make a couple of more signings foreign or otherwise, as I reckon we might need to increase the numbers and quality of that age group taking into account how small the age group above is.

yeah on Friday

 

[coys200]

When do we reckon squad will be announced? Leaving Saturday I think.

 

[George94]

What's happening with Reo Griffiths?

Shouldn't he be back in training? Haven't seen him in any pictures - first team or development squad.

Mail says he’s training with Everton and City!

At what point do the players leaving start prompting a review of what’s going on? Feels like we’re losing lots of talent

 

[vintagespurs]

We don't compete with other teams who are willing to make teenage players and their parents millionaires without any guarantee that the player will make the grade. You can't really blame him for leaving when he can sign a deal like that.

i briefly noticed him doing some gym work in one of the pre-season vids.

Other than the 8 this side look very ordinary.

1-1 final

I'm not sure if it was due to the camera angle but Renaldo Torraj (10) looked like he was the younger brother of one of the players that decided to join in.

Didn't realize there would be penalties and turned off the stream as I was supposed to be working.
