Haven't been around our training ground but I'm pretty sure u15s and up train at the new place. But in that pic it looks like the Spurs Lodge plus the training gear is old. So is this old news?

Tottenham Hotspur close Spurs Lodge training ground in Epping Forest

Tottenham Hotspur's has announced it will close its Spurs Lodge training ground
Tottenham Hotspur has confirmed it will close its old training ground as the club completes its move to a new site.

The north London club will stop all training activities at Spurs Lodge, in Epping Forest, at the end of the month.

It has used the site since 1996 but more than a year and a half ago began a move to its Enfield training centre, in Hotspur Way, because the site was too small.

A club spokesman said that despite leaving the lodge, the club will continue to provide community football courses in the area.

He said: "Tottenham Hotspur has kept an active presence at Spurs Lodge over the past two years since we moved to our new training centre in Enfield.

“During that period, the club has continued to deliver community programming both at the Lodge and across Epping Forest and will continue to do so.

"The club's programme at the Lodge will come to a close at the end of February and we are now currently in discussions with partners about the long term plans for the Spurs Lodge site.

“These will be brought forward in due course once the appropriate engagement has taken place with key stakeholders including the local authority."

Spurs Lodge was previously the training ground for the club's first team and the home of the Tottenham Hotspur Academy.

Yes, those pictures are from when Brodic was a 14-year-old (he's now 17), and when he trained with a few clubs across Europe (including Spurs, Arsenal, Manchester United and Inter). That was before he eventually signed with Dinamo Zagreb.

The news now is that he hasn't signed a new deal with Dinamo and is set to become a "free" player once he turns 18 (Dinamo trying to get him to sign, the family so far refusing). It's similar to the Robert Muric situation.

Brodic, meanwhile, scored yesterday in the England U18 vs. Croatia U18 match:

Weird that the dimarzio site would post it on 1 March then! He's pretty good with transfer stuff.

He is, he's great. But those pictures were just to show where he's been in the past and clubs who have shown an interest in him. The real story was the quotes from the player's father (in the article). The real news is his expiring contract.

Spurs know all about Brodic (and many other Dinamo youngsters). Not just from that few day trial, but from their constant monitoring of youth trainings/matches.
