Most youth watchers like him but I dont get the vibe that the club does (or Poch).
I think he gets a lot of attention because he is a goal scoring machine but he needs to work on his game outside of this

Which is why I would be hesitant to say he is highly rated, its strange if he was a striker/winger, we would be raving about him as you tend to be judged on your end product but the fact he is a CM/AM makes fall behind other players who have a more well rounded game

None of our offensive players ever seem to be rated enough to get a proper go, not recently anyway. Parrott looks likely to be the first under poch

I hate to go around in circles but as I mentioned before we gave contracts to players who had no future at tottenham, of those 24 a lot of them weren't at the level like Munns who got released at the end of the season he got loaned. Our aim with a lot of those 24 was never to generate players for the first team but to get those players better and then try and get a fee for them.

IMO there is nothing wrong with that, if you are developing players to make them the best they are then there's nothing wrong with profiting from that.

Also at the time, Sherwood clashed with Harry over the fact that Harry never saw any of those players as potential first team players. The fact is Sherwood did fight for them to get a fair shot.

It goes back to Marsh, the reason the first poster laughed at the loan, is because marsh is a player who won't make the first team and that level is really difficult to progress, we will try and look to sell him for a small fee but probably end up releasing him.

He'll never make it with the first team and yet he's already got more medals up than Le Tissier

He been played all over to be fair I'd see him as a lwf or a false 9.

although not like-for-like, it's dumb that tracey is taking playing time away from shashoua, the same thing happened with his brother under burnett. hopefully we send tracey to a conference side soon or something, though knowing us we'll probably keep him and give him a new deal.

You forgot to add, promote him to the first team(y)
