Good to see both Brothers doing well Armando second goal yesterday was a very good goal and he is playing very well of late, if anybody finds it please post it.
Mahrez-like?Shash has definitely filled out a bit looks stockier now. Remember when he made those brief cameos on bench for 1st team thinking he was just to feeble to have a chance. But feel quietly optimistic about him now. To his advantage we don’t really have a player like him. He’s almost a eriksen/moura hybrid.
Does anybody remember Charles Daniels playing for Spurs Reserves because every time I watch Binks play he reminds me so much of Daniels in terms of how they both move and run around the pitch?
Have the Shashoua brothers and Markanday played for any of the England junior teams?
I have only seen bits of Sam Shashoua and always thought he looked looked a nifty player, but for those that have seen more of both brothers, do people think they have what it takes to eventually make the step up with us and which, if ether, has the greater potential.
Hard for me to compare Pritchard to Sam.S because Pritchard will always be on my list of Favorite players, but most of what you say is spot on,I will say I wounder what Armando will be like when he starts to Bulk up like his older brother and what will it do for him in the long run.personally would say sam's the better of the two but it's early days for armando, they have similar attributes as to be expected but sam's more of a crafter with armando being more of an orchestrator. problem is that when our very best are struggling to break into the first team squad it's even harder to see those you'd probably have in the bracket below doing it. i'd be interested to hear how @IGSpur @Spurzinho and @edson think shashoua compares to pritchard when he was 19, i was only just getting into watching the academy by the time pritchard was just starting to go out on loan but he's the kind of level i have sam pegged as becoming if all goes well but i wouldn't want to put a hard cap on his potential just yet. also as @coys200 alluded to earlier, sam has put in a big effort to build his body up over the past year or so, before that i think it would've been difficult for him to compete with senior players regardless of the quality.
as much i want to see him at cb as much as possible, i do recognise its very good for our cbs to get some time at fb to get used of playing in wide areas of the pitch. Really feel thats why Toby and Jan are some of the best ball playing cbs in the world today.
You lot are going to have to keep a eye on Rafferty Pedder this year now he is back.
I have been waiting for over a year to watch Pedder play and what I could see from his small cameo appearance today you lot will Love this player.
First off not many people have seen him play in over a year because of his injuries, so let me tell you how he has changed since maybe a few of you last saw him play,he has got a lot bigger and he is about the same size as Maxi Tainio but the thing that surprised me today was his speed, he is a lot faster than I remember and he can use both feet he has excellent movement off the ball and the Lad can pass a ball as well.
He came on just after we got our 4th goal and it was his shot that Binks scored the rebound from with his looping header over the keeper.
It will take Pedder a long time to get into this very good u18s team but he is as Talented as any other player in that Squad just need to stay away from injuries.
Not meaning to be that guy again, but judging a players ability on whether they could 'step up'to the first team is pointless as even the best of the best of the best won't break into a top 6's team so it's not a fair assessment on their ability.I have only seen bits of Sam Shashoua and always thought he looked looked a nifty player, but for those that have seen more of both brothers, do people think they have what it takes to eventually make the step up with us and which, if ether, has the greater potential.
