The Spurs Youth Thread - 2017/2018

He got taken on by Cardiff at 18, left to play for Redditch, then got taken back for another year before getting released again when the goalkeeping coaches changed. The one that rated him left for Palace, whilst the new fella didn't rate him.

He has also trained with England with Hart.Heaton.Forster and Butland. Is that a usual thing?

They do occasionally invite young players along to make up the numbers, I seem to remember TOB taking part when the England squad were training at our training ground. The reason why O'Reilly was with them was because his former goalkeeping coach was working for England and recommended him. He impressed and was asked to stay for the whole weeks' training.

Highlight from last night

As we thought at the time, absolute stonewall penalty turned down after Bennetts hit the post!!

 

[Blake Griffin]

i don't see how o'reilly could be considered an alternative to gazzaniga.

Dinzeyi is definitely not a right-back.

Tanganga was good, but a bit too reactive for me (not helped by the players he had around him). I'd like to see Tanganga given a few games alongside CCV ideally, as I don't really rate Maghoma or Dinzeyi.

Bennetts had an excellent match, but clearly was so much better going forward than he was at defending - he got a toe in several times though.

Skipp was excellent - he played like Matic, generally keeping it simple but sometimes picking out an effortless switch of play. His partners in midfield were far less impressive, but Duncan has more to offer than Pritchard.

I actually thought Loft did a good job too but I can't quite work out why we're perservering with him as he's not of the required level IMO. I presume he'll be dropped as soon as Harrison is back?!

how did james justin(rb) and tyreeq bakinson(dm/cm) look for luton?

Because they're both goalkeepers. Hope this helps, BG.

I genuinely barely looked at their players, I was so focussed on ours.

Looks like Patterson to me.

 

[coys200]

Tell you who I think is a great prospect is Declan Rice at West Ham.Something about him only 18 has a great presence and very classy.Think he can play both feet.could pick him up for £10-12m I reckon.possibly offer wimmer.whos out the door anyway.

Duncan wasnt it?

How old is Roles ? Isn't he the 16yo kid who played in the FAYC Semi against Chelsea, but didn't have a great game or am I confusing him with someone ?

he's 18. you might be thinking of skipp(though no one really played well in either game).

i don't think roles is ready for senior football yet though, still needs to develop physically as right now he's a bit "gangly". i doubt he'd play much if he went to exeter, he hasn't even played a great deal of u23 football yet.
