Even though I'm as puzzled as you are there just has to be a sensible reason. I'd love to know the answer to Poch's thought process on youth development.

because he doesn't end up out of line with the seniors as they play on the same day.

Do not say this often but we played OK and our two best players was Markanday who played like Markanday of last year and was very good throughout the match.
Shashoua was the other player who impressed on the night and on another day he could have scored two goals.
Playing with no striker is crazy.

How was Bowden ? Been pretty unimpressed this season.

Not his best game tonight but he has looked better this year than he did last year.
You think so ? Seen him about 5 times and been pretty average every time.

I can’t believe these players hang around. No chance of actual professional football. Those that stay must be happy in their comfort zones. Do we really want that kind of player at the club?

Well when Edwards was being offered contracts elsewhere and didnt want to commit unless he believed he would get game time, he was labelled as a trouble maker who didnt know how good he had it under Poch. So its lose lose really.
Apparently someone reckons Tanganga ain't playing as he wont sign a contract. Wouldnt surprise me but then do I think hed play if he did sign anyway, of course not. So nothing to lose on his end
All the UYL games. Actually thought he was the worst player in the 9-2. A couple of other games can’t remember the opponents. So about 5 times this season just not really been impressed.

Seem to recall reading that Spurs turned down £1.5m for TOB from a Championship club. Maybe not fair to blame the players. Spurs have a long track record of bullying youngsters into renewing contracts to ensure they maximise profit on them.

He is just stating the obvious in the video not offering any real insight. The players have refused to sign contracts thus they have the power now and not the club. Its all boils down to money and Spurs have a rigid wage structure making it hard to compete.
Don't get me wrong the supposed 250k a week we offered Eriksen is competitive but he sees Ramsey getting 400k a week at Juventus and thinks fuck it I will wait. The error here is Levy or perhaps Poch seemingly caught in two minds. No signing of contract and they should have been sold a year or so ago to avoid this situation. But maybe they wanted their services for that time and thought it might work sadly it has not as Eriksen and to a lesser extent Toby and Jans performances have dropped to a point that you couldn't sell them even if you wanted to.
All a bit of a sorry situation but in this day an age the footballer has the power.
