Good luck to him, hope he manages some kind of career. Never good enough for Spurs, the Premier League or possibly English League football full stop. If he had to bet money on where he'd end up, I'd say he'll become a professional freestyle footballer. He's a bag of tricks and not much else really.
You're probably right

The fact we've sold him to Solvenia certainly backs up your statement

But I did want to ask how much you've seen of him to make that assessment? I've only seen him in a couple of preseason matches/highlights and youtube vids so I can't really comment as to whether he did or didn't have the potential to be good enough with us

Did you follow his path through the youth set up? or his loan spells in the lower leagues? or seen similar amounts of footage of him as me?

I watched a few of his Rangers games. To make it here he'd really need to tear it up at that level, but once opposing players figured him out, he had no answer really. And regardless of what anyone else thinks, Poch uses the loan system to add value to players he's not interested in, Grant Ward and Dominic Ball being cases in point. So any players who go on loan now, we know their Spurs' careers are over. Luke McGee might be an exception to that because GKs are difficult to integrate into the first team, even if they're highly rated.

Look at this shit. I don't know why anyone would want to play in Serbia.

One of Serbia's top football clubs, Partizan Belgrade, has condemned racist chanting during a match that reduced one of its players, Brazilian midfielder Everton Luiz, to tears.


He suffered monkey chants and other abuse from fans of rivals Rad Belgrade.

"I couldn't hold back the tears because I was racially insulted from the stands for 90 minutes," said Everton, 28.

He's playing in Slovenia - racism is prevalent in football there as well I think. In fact, the ex-manager of Oduwa's new club was banned last season for being racist to one of his own players.
