How good are Porto ? I suspect they are decent.

they knocked us out in the quarters last year, not sure how much their team has changed since but i imagine they'll be strong again.

incidentally, this was our line-up from that game -
austin
hinds eyoma tanganga reynolds
marsh skipp maghoma
s.shashoua griffiths bennetts
this time if all are fit then we'll probably see something along the lines of -

austin
hinds eyoma lyons-foster cirkin
oakley-boothe white
markanday roles bennett
parrott​

don't think there's much between the two line-ups but would maybe give a slight edge to last season's team as they were a bit more experienced. hopefully this team fares better this time though.

Just saw that former Spurs youth player Cameron Lancaster signed for the new MLS side that starts MLS play in 2020, Nashville SC. They’re currently playing in the 2nd tier, USL.

We’ve replaced Bennetts with a Bennett?

Lol I like it.

They haven't. That time of year where the better u16s start getting one or two games. Both internationals as well.

Great to see Pedder back

And not a single 'joke' about it saving Levy money on getting new shirts printed.

This place had changed.

Haven’t they changed that now so it’s not per letter / number?

One of my chums thought so anyways when I was saying how cheap a Son 7 shirt would be!

But Levy would still have to pay to get the new name printed onto the shirts in the first place. That was my point.

Replacing Bennetts with Bennett, he can save on printing, take a few shirts home & spend the evening scraping of the S at the end of Bennetts.

As far as I know, this is the current Under-16 squad:

Goalkeepers
Thimothée Lo-Tutala*
Tobi Oluwayemi*

Defenders
Kallum Cesay
Dermi Lusala
Jeremy Kyezu

Midfielders
Michael Craig
Romaine Mundle
Matthew Craig
Max Robson

Forwards
Nile John
Eddie Carrington-Alberdi
Tarrelle Whittaker*

* Confirmed to have signed two-year scholarships.

Are there any players on this list that you don’t expect to be included in this summer’s intake and any not on this list you expect to be included? @IGSpur @Spurzinho @Blake Griffin or anyone else who knows more than me.

Someone mentioned a forward called Kymani Thomas signing for this age-group and I’ve also heard Monroe, Yfeko, Laing, Gibson-Hammond, Aird-Munn, Sibiza, Rachi and Muir have been released this season.

Norwegian goalkeeper Isak Middtun Solberg has supposedly signed for the summer. Defender Ben Watt, I believe, is also a highly rated member of the group.

Alex Gibson-Hammond is a name I've not heard mentioned in a very long time. Laing is new one to me, never heard that name before. Others that seem to have disappeared from this age group are David Barclay, Tunji mumembi, Arjunah Crighton and a couple of lads who's first names I don't know... Franklin and Christian.

According to this article in the Romford Recorder, Arjunah Crighton got a grade C in maths when he was 8.

Isak Middtun Solberg definitely hasn’t signed yet and I personally doubt he will, due to us already having two Under-16 goalkeepers sign their two-year scholarship for next season. I believe those others you mentioned were released before Under-16s.

I have the same as you http://www.spurscommunity.co.uk/ind...h-thread-2018-19.133512/page-126#post-6124300

Since that post as you say we've been told Rachi has been released and you reckon the other keeper hasn't signed.

I had mentioned Thomas, I will get more info on that, I keep forgetting. Gibson-Hammond and Monroe I think is the same person. They seem to like Mundle so wouldn't surprise me if he was hear next year.
