The Spurs Youth Thread - 2018/19

[edson]

was just looking for info on griffiths and found this:

Reo Griffiths: The very much talked about English prospect that Lyon signed from Tottenham, he has yet to play for his new club. It turns out that he had injured his knee and was essentially in rehabilitation these past few months. Thanks to Instagram, I can confirm that he has returned to training, so hopefully we’ll see him play in reserve matches soon.

that was from a couple of weeks ago so should see him playing again soon, bennetts has been injured as well since going to gladbach but has played the last few games for their reserves.

I like Bennett better than I did Bennetts.

I like Bennett better than I did Bennetts.

i think bennett is better now than bennetts was at 16/17 but the latter really kicked on at 18/19 so will depend on how j'neil progresses over the next few years.

Was sure I saw Griffiths post a training pic with Fekir about 6 weeks ago.

Griffiths will be back in England within 18 months. Barnet about his level.

Happy days. Is Coulthirst still there?

Yes he is,played against our u23 in the Cup last season when they beat us.

Its even more impressive than that. As an U15 he suffered a bad injury and then as an U16 he missed almost the whole year with a bad spinal injury. Showed tremendous determination to keep going.

You can’t not like that in a player, or a human being even.

Just seen that as well as Joe Dearman and Blake D'Arcy there's a Joshua Gray in the Cambridge United U18s. I haven't been able to verify if its the Josh Gray that played for us until U16 but I think its a fair bet. We seem to have a good relationship with Cambridge.

Just noticed that former U23 keeper Luke O'Reilly has turned up at Carlisle.

Did we not chase him for ages only to let him go in under a year?

I do not understand why we keep going for Keepers when we have a fair few that are rated like Austin and De Bie and a few below them.

My understanding was that it was to cover the anticipated international call ups. Most, if not all, of our keepers are expected to be in with a chance of international duty.

 

[Blake Griffin]

damn, edwards missed a great chance to get his first goal. ball flashed across the face of the goal, four yards out but he barely made any contact and it trickled wide, might've come at him at an awkward height but still should be burying that. it's a shame as he's otherwise had a really good half, used the ball well and drawn lots of fouls in dangerous areas with his trademark mazy dribbling.

edit: game is here if anyone fancies watching

game is on derby's site if you sign up.

 

[Blake Griffin]

woeful first 45 which basically just consisted of us trying to play out, getting pressed and lumping it long.

 

[therhinospeaks]

Despicable performance thus far

 

[chrissivad]

bet its still a better game than Hearts Vs Celtic....
