I honestly believe that if Roles had started out at a club like MK such as Dele had, Jack would have been just as accomplished as Alli. They are both remarkable simarly players imo, while they arent the most flashy of players, they are incredibly effective. They both have excellent football brains, that set them apart from their peers.Just my opinion on Roles but he’s not a player that really makes you sit up and take notice. Yes there’s end product as in goals but it’s just a little bit laboured. But I guess much was said the same of Kane. I just think it will be incredibly tough for him when you think he’s essentially competing with eriksen dele moura Son Lamela for a starting spot. You to look at someone like Townsend and say even if he got to that level. A very accomplished PL player and England international, he still wouldn’t get a look in with us. I think it’s where someone like Edwards has more of a chance imo just because he has that wow factor, even though I’d rate Edwards chance as slim.
I think Roles gets over looked in an academy setup bc he simply just doesnt look like a technically superior player, but Im confident if Jack can survive the mental traps of modern football that he'll be one of the most successful players of those currently coming through.
However his journey wont be with Tottenham.
