If we can't find squad space for a home-grown youngster who is rated the best player by our coaches at every age group, particularly in a position where we badly need non-destroyer options, then I question the point of the Academy.Josh is rated as the best player by our coaches at every age group. However sometimes timing can be wrong, injuries etc. Breaking into the Spurs first team right now is almost impossible. A move could kick start his career. I’m sure if he was sold we’d defo have a buy back option. Personally I’d prefer if he was loaned out for another season where he can play regularly, it’s only a matter time before it clicks for him and the world sees his talent.

Not questioning the ITK, for avoidance of doubt.
He's had barely any chances in CM for us.Not sure to be honest. I question the kid. He's had a fair few chances and also had a season in the Championship. Not really impressed. Even the Villa fans have said he's not that great.
13 games is not many, but we've hardly thought WOW or pushed for him to be included more. 34 games at Villa though.He's had barely any chances in CM for us.

Some people just don't like to be baffled I guess

He obviously hasn't earned it.
ZERO progress in the transfer market, I understand that we been advised that we have to off-load some players first to balance the wage bill
What annoys me is the likes of Everton, Wolves etc are splashing 30-50m a time on players yet we seem to bulk at these figures.
Its the hope that kills....last month we were enjoying the world cup, celebrating Poch and Kanes new contracts, and looking forward to the "Brave" new era that we were told about, fast forward to the last week of July and we have made absolutely ZERO progress in the transfer market, I understand that we been advised that we have to off-load some players first to balance the wage bill, but its not like we have the biggest wage bill in the premier league ?, Levy's prudence and dithering in the transfer deals have left us frustrated and irritated, and it is inevitable that our dealings will go down to the last day, apart from a few contract re-newels in-between, as this seems to be the tactics to appease the fans. Levy will come in for some severe criticism if we make a poor start to the season and he will have no-one to blame but himself.
