It just hit you?

Just came across it. Destined for greatness surely!

Not sure how many we have taken on the trip but you are allowed twelve on the bench in Europa, If Luca makes the bench will Ange give Luca just one minute on the pitch to make him Spurs youngest ever debutant, wouldn't do that to Mikey, would he ??

Edit . Correction: Would beat Alfie Devine if Luca does get to come on , think we would have to be losing quite badly for that to happen.

iirc Devine is the youngest debutant of all competitions, Moore is the youngest debutant in PL

I stand corrected, that was FA Cup wasn't it. Don't think Luca will beat Mikey in PL , physically not as developed.

Substitutes: Vicario, Austin, Udogie, Dorrington, Bentancur, Sarr, Kulusevski, Cassanova, Olusesi, Williams-Barnett, Solanke.

I think we'll see at least 2 of the U21 players make their debuts today.

I think one or both of Oluesi and LWB could get 10 mins but not if it's tight

Hope to see Williams-Barnett, he's almost up there with Moore in talent level and in insane form this season.

 

[Blake Griffin]

he's a talent but miles off physically. just being part of the squad is a good experience for him.

 

[Romulus]

Yeah it must be unreal to have your first squad involvement away at galatasaray

 

[BorjeSpurs]

On Williams-Barnett who is in a little bit of a delicate contract situation given his age.

He looks like a young Jake Livermore.

I said this before and will say it again, I think it was a mistake to let Devine go. Think he has the tools we need in the europa

Last season players didnt get minutes as we had no europa, this season was always going to harder

Tempted to say we should recall Devine and loan out Bergvall. Frees up a Europa squad place and is arguably right for each players development.

I guess that we want Bergvall to become Club Trained - which may rule out a loan. Whether that is best for him is another matter.
