Anyone else we can promote? It’s a pot of free transfers if they’re good enough.
Depends what position. I have said for absolute ages, Tanganga's age group and the year below have the most talented players we've ever produced. Granted a lot have left now, but there is still plenty of talent still here. The issue is none were developed or trusted under previous management and so everyone assumes they've now suddenly become terrible. Tanganga was literally in this position over 6 months ago, behind Eyoma and Dinzeyi. Suddenly two starts in a row and a bit of faith and all of a sudden people are now saying he's better than Sanchez, when 2 years ago people were moaning because I said he was better than Wilmot, and that's despite the stagnation. To clarify Wilmot could go on to be a great player, and better than Tanganga, the point being it's all so fickle and giving opportunities to our players is the way forward before signing and looking elsewhere. Re: Tanganga, I don't know how he didn't get games beforehand, one managers trash is another's treasure. It's why I kept saying just because one manager doesn't play them, it doesn't mean they're not 'good enough' another manager may not see it in the same way.
Skipp is another good enough and seemingly overtaken by Tanganga. I've said this before, now some people are happy to give Tanganga a chance at RB, despite playing there about 3 times in his life but Hinds and KWP are considerably better RBs. Their issue though is as modern day RBs, they're more risky as they get forward whereas Tanganga is just a CB so can be trusted at the back and then occasionally got forward. Rather than look at two players who are considerably better than him and thinking I wonder how they'd get on, people still would rather sign Aarons a player previously behind Hinds in the England pecking order than give him a chance. Football is very strange. Either way well done Mourinho stil chuffed for Tanganga, let's hope he keeps it up and when the inevitable lapses come he isn't thrown under the bus. Could be a proper CB for Spurs if he continues to develop.
