Skipp will definitely be in the 1st team next season, we wanted him back in January by all accounts.

Sess I’m unsure on, with Reg and Davies at left back he’s not needed yet and with Son and Bergwijn as wingers too, depends who we sell, maybe a loan to a lower prem team will suit.

And keep an eye out for Eyoma, impressed massively and pretty highly rated, could be a surprise package.

I’d like to see Eyoma get a loan to a championship side or a promoted PL side next season.

If Cirkin isn’t used next season , I’d also like him to be loaned out to a championship side next season .

Of course, it all depends on the new manager. I'd like to see Foyth come back, but it depends who leaves and who else comes in. Eyoma looks promising, but the jump from League 1 to the Prem might be a bit much. I guess another loan or another season at Lincoln if they win the playoff.
I'm not sure where Sess would fit in. He might get games in Europe or the Worthington's cup, but he isn't likely to start at LB ahead of our two more established options and unless Son leaves, he wont get many chances in a more attacking role.
Skipp is the one who seems most likely to fit straight in. He looks ready to step up, and our midfield options are stronger with him in the mix. The obvious move it to let Sissoko go and give Skipp the chance to muscle his way into the squad. But managers seem to like Sissoko and might be reluctant to let a popular and positive figure leave if other influential figures move on.
The problem about sissoko is his age and contract length. No ones likely to buy him, it’s a loan or we keep him around for the next two seasons. Despite what some people think, if he’s not clamouring to play matches and is, as is widely perceived a good influence to the team then it makes sense to keep him ahead of say, winks, who is way more sellable.

If he does want to move, we are looking at a loan or a freebie. Which is fine, and certainly makes sense if we are making space for quality. In the case of Skipp this isn’t a concern as skipp is still young enough to not need registering so theres no real worries about making space.

The thing about Eyoma is he is 21, we maybe have one more loan before making a decision, but playing well in league 1 is great news for him but doesn’t really mean much from the club perspective. I remember watching Freddie sears at that age live at league 1 level looking a serious player, but he clearly wasn’t ready for the PL and was unlikely to ever be.

Impressing at league 1 level is interesting when you’re 18 not so much when you are 21. Loan performance as whole mind is not a particularly accurate predeterminer to success at a higher level.

At this point get him in for preseason and maybe we will see the judgment, but his chances are looking slim, and what he shows in preseason is way more important than what he’s done on loan, and the same goes with all the other players too.

The main reason he is in league 1 at his age is to give him the experience so he can find a pathway into the professional game anything else is a bonus.

Cirkin looks talented too, but he has disappeared since his dad died.

Sad thing for such a young lad to go through.
Probably took me 6-12 months to be myself again after my Dad died when I was 25. So I’m sure it will take some time. He looks a very talented player though, so hopefully he can set his head straight and crack on and make his Dad proud

What about Jack Clarke?
I know people take the piss about how high I rate him, but 100% I’d give him a squad place even if he’s not pulled up many trees yet. I just think he’s the sort of player that needs to be empowered by playing with the top players at the club, not pointed around in lower leagues where the opposition is totally different to this level or stuck with a youth team where the levels of talent are (Devine aside) significantly lower than his.

Wingers more than any other position benefit from just being thrown in at the deep end as that’s how they improve their movement and trickery, but having to figure out ways past top defenders.

I think Skipp will be a revelation and I'm pinning the future hopes of Spurs on his shoulders, gutted about his injury.

Sessegnon, I'm not sure about simply because we have Reguilon but that should be a good battle as they're about the same level atm given Reguilon's drop off but he could quickly regain his confidence.

I'd love Foyth to stay, I think under the right manager he could be a fantastic asset but I think we've blown it there.

Way too soon for Parrot I think, might be a few seasons before he's where we need him to be.

Sissoko is a true professional - Id keep him. Plus he's got a spot in France squad this summer which he must understand will be his last big hurrah. I cant see him kicking up a fuss about minutes next season.

Sess is left footed and has great composure in front of the goal, can’t he be used on the right wing as an inverted winger if Bale isn’t coming back and lamela is rumored to be going back to Italy?
Unless he's already had some success there, I wouldn't be keen to bring him back as a Bale or Lamela replacement. I'd love to be wrong, and maybe that will be his future, but I think it's a FIFA experiment rather than a practical reality. Lamela is great at giving us more of an attacking edge, despite is relatively modest goal output. He generally makes us more dynamic when he comes on as a sub. Bale is a very special talent who is way more than just a left footer who is comfortable in front of goal. I haven't seen Sess bring what either of them offer in those positions. But I would love to see Sess rip it up as an inverted winger if he plays there.

Foyth, Sess and Skipp are all probably good enough to be part of the senior squad. Whether they make the starting 11 is another matter.

Great point about Skipp not needing to be registered. And yes, Winks is more sellable than Sissoko. I also think he has more potential to be coached into effectiveness by whomever comes in to take charge next season.

I’d like Skipp, Sess, Foyth and Clarke to all take places in the squad.

Would be nice to see Scarlett, Devine, Cirkin get some mins in the ECL.

I’m concerned Parrott might not be for this level.

Winks should be first out the door, followed by Aurier/Doherty or both, I’d say cash in on Lamela if there is interest from Italy. Players like Sissoko should be sold but if he’s the last one to attract offers I don’t mind him staying, but strictly as a utility player, 10-15 mins of running about covering gaps in games we’re winning and seeing out.

Never has been for me. While he had an incredibly rocky start, his skill on the ball was always there to see. It's a shame we've practically given him away.

With Sessegnon returning, we have 3 contenders for the LB spot. Davies the obvious one that has to go imo.
Skipp, that's a no brainer, he should be introduced to the squad and be a regular next season. Ship Winks and Sissoko off to whomever
CCV is probably sold in the summer and Parrott needs more regular games so he must go out on loan

And forgot about Gazzaniga. Off

This talk about Clarke... He's just not good enough. He won't ever make it at spurs.
You’re wrong but it’s fine, you’re entitled to your opinion.
I draw your attention to this sarcastic comment made ahead of Kane’s first start in the league for us, in which he scored ...
Ki, Johnson and borini are all decent and can be a threat. I'm sure they are quaking in their boots about Kane

Skipp, Foyth and Sessegnon should all be in and around the first team next year. Skipp should have been around the first team this season, but luckily the loan move looks to have worked out for him. I had high hopes for Foyth and think he has bundles of potential and is better than some of the defenders who were playing for us this season. Sessegnon is another with great talent, but seems to be afraid of making mistakes or taking responsibility. He looked like he didn't think he was good enough to be playing with some of our players. Hopefully he'll come back a more confident player who feels like he belongs.

I didn't see any of Foyth or Sessegnon this season, so if both were terrible I retract my comments.
