Also I have heard that we've given scholarships to over 10 players. Got an idea of names, would rather get confirmation before I start posting. Heard some players I like have been released. Well one actually, Marcus Muir, so really waiting for confirmation on that as it surprised me. Zanda Siziba has joined Ipswich.

Think it's a big age group, surprisingly, considering the talent but there are some good players in there. I imagine clubs will be trying to nick John off us though, so would hope we're offering him some type of pro now.

Thanks for the information. What type of player is John? Can you can name the other ones to watch out for? Really appreciate your insight as usual.

I really hope we recall Onomah and let him work with Poch. With his athleticism, I think he could be a good back up option for the Sissoko role in a midfield three.

problem is though he may have played his way out of options and i don't see the point in swapping one struggling championship side for another, assuming that coming back to play for spurs is out of the question then the next best bet might be to pluck for a loan abroad and hope it works out.
TOB has impressed me with his work rate of late and that is something he is not known for and he is just stating to perform a lot betting than he has done in the past,I do not know why he has improved has he just got fitter or has someone had a word in his ear because whatever has happened it is working at this point in time.

Maybe working with the first team he has suddenly realised he needs to up his game, this is what Joey Barton was alluding to with young players they do not realise what they need to do till too late. Let's hope he kicks on quickly cause he has a great chance of getting game time if he can prove himself atm.

It was not that long ago that Roles was not doing very well and was struggling to start games and now look at him doing something that is hard to do at U23 football and that is improve.

TOB just needs to keep doing what he is doing and hopefully he will improve?

I don't. I'm just surprised that you would appear to have watched Gomes play more than you would have watched the academy of the team you support.

What did you not like about Gomes? Was it the appearance he made for United's first team or his England performances?

I’ve seen him 5 or 6 times and was expecting more considering the hype. All I can say is I’ve never been particularly impressed by him. He seems quite lightweight and it’s all a bit flicky and tricky without too much end product.

I don't mean to be smart after the fact but I'm not that surprised by Muir's release, if that is indeed the case. Felt he was coasting the last couple of years. Hasn't massively improved since I saw him as a 13 year old.

Interesting Eyoma still training with seniors. Wonder if he will start tonight in checkstrade or if he has entered the poch zone. Might be a chance for him with Dier and vertonghen out.

Is there anywhere to rewatch full 90 mins of our UEFA Youth League matches? Like even a BT streaming service or something?

I guess Eyoma is in the poch zone now then. Wonder if it’s just till Dier vertoghen back or permanently.
