Spurs Youth Thread 20/21

[Montalbano]

Our U18s beat Orient 4-0 today behind closed doors. Quite the different story from the 6-2 loss for the U23s.

Another two goals for young striker Jamie Donley — one to watch for sure.

I wonder where Michael Craig is.

Also well done Donley again bagging two goals in 30mins against u18s, let's hope he carries this into the new season.

 

[Blake Griffin]

How’s he been getting on, anyone know?

here's my post from the skipp loanwatch thread:

got caught on the ball with a loose touch early on that nearly cost them but gradually grew into the game and ended the half strong. had a couple of nice breaks forward and also played pukki through on goal, his defensive work as always has been good.

also if you search his name on twitter then you'll see norwich fans have been impressed.

Same ones as before +1? Or some different ones?

 

[rabbikeane]

One of them replaced a right back, so assume it's still Ferguson

[taidgh]

A shame. He seems to pick up a lot of injuries. Hopefully it's a developmental thing, and he's okay going forward.

 

[coy-spurs1882]

he seems as injury prone as kane now...

 

[Yiddo100]

Anyone heard of Lucas de vega from Barca?apparently were interested and he’ll join the u23s

 

[Westmorlandspur]

One of our old youth players Ryan Loft...signs for S****horpe Utd from Leicester.

Have we quietly massed a group of U21's that are extremely talented and it's somewhat going under the radar?

It seems to me because we haven't had a standout year group for a while and that we've been signing players here and there, that it's gone a bit unnoticed, unlike with the Kane, Mason, Carroll, Pritchard and Townsend group or the KWP, Onomah, CCV, Winks and Edwards groups.

But in Cirkin, Clarke, Parrott, Tanganga, Skipp, Sessegnon, White and Devine, we've got a group of U21's players who seem to be more talented than what we'd typically have coming through.

I found the glimpses we saw in pre season so encouraging. Even Devine's few minutes really caught my eye. I'd watched everything of him on YT, so knew he was technically gifted, but from the few touches he got in the friendly, you could see there is something so classy about the way he plays.

Obviously not every high potential youngster makes it, but there’s a lot of high quality youth there. White and Skipp is a very conceivable future double pivot, Cirkin and Tanganga’s potential is very evident, and Parrott looks potentially lethal. Then you’ve got Devine (who reminds me of Nick Barmby), Clarke and Sessegnon as a potential AM3 and it’s time to start dreaming about our own version of Peps Barca.

Rb Tanganga CB Cirkin
Skipp White
Clarke Devine Sessegnon
Parrott​

Even if only three of those players hit the levels we hope of them, it’s an incredible achievement from the club, but if they all did it’d feel amazing. Always easier to fall in love with your ownyouth products.
