Alasdair Gold has spoken highly about Tottenham Hotspur teenager Alfie Devine and how he presents himself to the media very well, as he ‘learns’ from the likes of James Maddison and Yves Bissouma.

With all due respect Alfie can be an absolute #### for all I care. The principal issue is whether he can play. And on that score, the portents look good.

How is "journalist thinks player is good" news?
Wondered this myself. F**k me, get the football back on if this is what we think is newsworthy. Ally is a good guy and gifted writer too but he's essentially a fan writing about his club. How this carries any weight is beyond me.

I'm starting to think @mawspurs has a contract with newsnow and has a quota to hit. :D

Gotta churn out those articles for Football.London to keep the ad revenue coming in.

About half of them are pure fluff but he presumably has a target to meet.

I don't have a problem with Ally, or that he writes opinion pieces for whatever reason he chooses. As a journalist I find that perfectly acceptable. That isn't what we are talking about here though. This is another site(HITC) reporting what he is saying in an opinion piece as news, and in turn being posted here as news.

The sources that are used for this part of the page are arguably the worst of the worst.
