Another prospect can only be a good thing.

Would like to see him given a place on the bench on Thursday. Would set a good precedent for the youngsters, that if they play well then they get rewarded.

His parents are Indian. As soon as he starts playing for the first team we will get tens of thousands of new fans because of that. PL is huge in India, so we may even get millions of new fans there.
As a British Indian, i can't wait for one of our lads to break through in a big way.

Don't have too much hope about this one.

I'll keep my fingers crossed. Not going to give up hope before he's even started.

Interesting - why?

I just don't think he will ever make it to a PL level for spurs, based on his previous development and his age. Onions.

"He was the first British Asian to play in the Premier League,[4] although this was not known at the time as Carter did not publicly disclose his background and his name did not make it obvious."[10]

Markanday, was a player that I always enjoyed watching in the U18s/U19s, in what were very good teams when coached by Parker & Wells.
Always took good care of the ball in possession and seemed to be available and recieve a lot of the ball. Haven't yet seen him with the U23s.

Him and J'Neill Bennett deserve to have a chance with the 1st team. I get the anxiety about his build and pace but you just won't know how he takes to that level until he's in it.

His second goal against Leeds U23 was quality.

 

[chinaman]

We lack someone who can dribblewith the ball in midfield like Grealish. Could he be the one?

So in answer to your question, racism has presumably been a significant factor. ☹

to be fair, tanganga wasn't really going anywhere at the same age either.

Neither was Kane, but this is the lottery. In this case it's just my onion, takes more for an attacker.

Nuno should start him on Thursday, a great talent and here's hoping that he will be promoted to the first squad sooner rather than later.
