What about Soonsup-Bell, could he be a viable backup for Johnson at RWF if Deki stays more central?

Chelsea seem to think so he was named in their squad at the weekend as well as Lewis Miley who played for Newcastle. Bizzare club.

Nowhere near good enough. Cannot see him playing for us .
Weve got a very good under 21 team but most of them won’t play for us . They are a team.

its mad isn't it you never really know. Donley and Dorrington are dominating that age group but Ange who does like young players only thinks Donley can handle a few minutes at a time at the moment in the first team and Dorrington hasn't gotten off the bench. Then you see an article online saying Soonsup-bell is the next big thing but we all know he is behind the other two in his development. There is so much hyperbole around young players its easy to see why some of them get complacent and don't fulfil their potential.

Fans get unrealistic expectations too, which feeds the hype.

How is that even possible? Red cards?

No red cards. I don't know anything about the game so don't know the lineup, the official Tottenham academy twitter page don't have a single tweet on it.

Team sheet looks a like the under 17’s or 16’s so a much younger team than usual. Couple of late goals there so maybe not as much of a surprise.

Ah okay, that makes more sense.

A very young side then

I'm guessing that is Elijah Upson? If so then I'm pretty sure he's the son of former Gooner & Spanner Matthew Upson.

Good lad

 

[Westmorlandspur]

3 of the Sunderland squad tonight v Leeds in the Championship were playing against us in under 21 game last night. Burstow, the Chelsea loanee, starts.
Pretty good performance in view of that.

 

[mark87]
