Well I'd give Townsend first, possibly Lamela and Gee could be injured for some time.Makes a lot of sense, sadly.
Pochettino uses the same sized inner core regardless of squad size, coupled with a less important "outer shell" of very few players. In total less than 20 players see a decent amount of playing time each season.
We have Son, Gee, Lamela, Townsend, Chadli, Eriksen, Dembele, Carroll, Onomah who can play apporx. in his position.
Somethings gotta give.
Yep they cry out for new signings when we have youngsters capable of doing a job, then cry that we never produce players.
The next gen showed that our youth of the time were some of the best in europe. We should have won it if we weren't disqualified on a technicality. We beat barcelona and smashed 6 shades of shit out of inter pritchard getting a hattrick. Give these boys a chance. Teams in other countries give their youngsters a chance don't see why we can't.
Perhaps he's just not ready for the Premiership?
No mate, not you - I generally find you quite a balanced poster - an unbalanced mind perhaps. . .

We all hope the boy can do very well but bloody hell, the nonsense on here about someone that was at BRENTFORD last season playing in the championship, is quite amazing
Playing in the prem for Tottenham Hotspur when (because we are pretty ordinary) many supporters are pinning their hopes and dreams on him, is massive massive pressure
Good luck to him. He's going to need it
If only a certain member who sounds like a Chocolate bar could come and clear this up....
I'm not talking about the Milky Bar Yid either.
That's Brentford who finished 5th, you know. And he was voted their player of the season.
It's funny, you put him down by slagging off those who believe he has potential (and many people on here have watched him play many times - how many times have you watched him, incidentally?) but then also think we are ordinary. Surely if that's the case then he stands more chance to make an impact?
Sorry, your logic is just all out of kilter on this one.
All I was saying is it's going to be very difficult for him and people are building him up far too much. As for watching him, I've seen him quite a few times on a 40' TV. Never watched him properly. I wonder how many actually have seen him 'properly'!!
I don't think anyone is expecting him to come into the team and be like Messi straight away, but given the previous two seasons Pritchard has had (being the best player at both his loan teams) and the way Kane emerged last season a lot of people are quite rightly excited by our youth prospects. Perhaps some need to temper their expectation a little, but mostly I just see people who want him to get a chance in our first team.
It could happenNow we have son for the right wing maybe Lamela will become eriksens understudy for the central role?
