The Spurs Youth Thread - 2018/19

Binks has definitely bulked up.

Final ball was atrocious today. Jneill had a rare off day and Paris playing for himself didn't help.

A mention for Mukendi who was faultless.

Markanday? If so agree and like they made him captain.

Thought harsh on Maghoma was trying to create and link up. Thought he was our best play.

I found Bennet more selfish but probably as he was trying to force it knowing he had a bad game.

Either way as you say the final ball or shot let us down today. Felt like we snatched at a lot

Is binks now playing in midfield ?

I agree Paris was playing for himself , he’s been told as an attacking player you have to be special to break through ,as quoted by his father . I think he’s taken this as I have to keep shooting from anywhere trying to score instead of passing the ball and playing someone else in. He will only develop if he becomes a team player

CB,he is starting to look the part.

His father sounds like a pratt. From what I have seen of Paris he looks a bit flash.....Poch doesn’t do flash.

We have done this before would like to know how many of the u23s squad you would let go or sell at the end of the season.

Look at the list below I have 8 players I would let go or sell and could go as High as 9

I’ve no idea re couple of the keepers but with them yeah probably about 9. Must say Reynolds whole youth career has passed me by lol.

keep:
austin
de bie
whiteman
hinds
eyoma
tanganga
reynolds
amos
tob
roles
shashoua
edwards
sterling

let go:
freeman
glover
dinzeyi
ogilvie
marsh
duncan
tracey
georgiou - i would loan in jan and see what happens first though
harrison - as above

that's probably what i'd do but i don't expect that many to leave, though i do think tanganga will be one of those on the keep list that will go.

You have 7 I would let go,I would keep Freeman but let Whiteman go.

What do we do with Sterling next year?

loan?

we know what he is and what he can do in the u23s, he's a poacher/off the shoulder striker, time to see if he can do it at senior level. even if ultimately he doesn't end up being good enough he might generate a fee if he works his way up the ladder and bangs in a few goals along the way. he's missed a lot of football over the past few years with various injuries, if he can stay fit then he might just start to deliver on some of his early promise.

I do wonder how it would affect him IF we was to go for the lad at Sunderland and IF we was to buy him how would this affect both Sterling and Parrott long term IF it was to happen?

probably wouldn't affect parrott too much but it wouldn't look good for sterling. i haven't seen maja at all but regardless i would still keep kaz for now, we have little to lose in doing so.

Interesting general youth article, which I thought might interest some of you: www.theguardian.com/football/2019/jan/06/kinetic-academy-football-talent-dreams

Lads... Really... Are we discussing Sterling as even being a remote possibility of making it at Spurs?

Get rid.

most of them have little more than a remote possibility of making it here but it doesn't mean we should just let them all go, some can still become a valuable commodity if handled correctly.

This. Getting the odd 500k+ on players help keep the academy going otherwise levy would just see it as a drain and pull the plug.

 

[therhinospeaks]

Never mind that who was you talking about yesterday?

Apologies meant Okedina. Thought he did everything he had to well.

Should be an elite set of players.

 

[Anuth]

just found one match from Pape-cup. @IGSpur you know anyone?

 

[therhinospeaks]

That's what I thought and I agree Okedina did play very well and has done all season and the club would be mad to let him go.

Go back and correct the name and i will delete this post.

I agree with most of your post about yesterdays game apart from Paris Maghoma who like IG I was very impressed with on the day.

TBH it was a cheeky comment based upon the last week. He was head and shoulders best player despite over doing it a few times.
