I hope he is given a chance, or is he being kept out based on his looks as we now have a good looking back two lol, look at the attention the Spurs Twitter gives to Toby compared to Wimmer
Or it could be that Alderweireld is an experienced centre back with nearly 50 international caps, a full season in the Premier League and previously played alongside Vertonghen at Ajax, and Wimmer is a kid.
I suspect Wimmer will play in the early League Cup rounds and Europa League group games.
I would imagine most of the new and returning youth won't pop up properly till EL. Wimmer, Ali, Pritch, N'jie even maybe Trip, will need to claim a starting place just as Kane did. I think it's the right way to go about things.
As others have said, he may get his first run out in the Europa / cups, or come on from the bench. But Poch is pretty good at putting people who do well in that environment into the first team, as we've seen with Kane, Mason etc. And also at getting players to push each other, as with Davies brought in for competition with Rose which as we saw last season raelly made Rose raise his game. So I reckon if he's good enough to fight for his place, he will play - and if not we will hopefully see much more focus from Jan (and Toby) on holding onto the shirt.
