Spurs Youth Thread 20/21

[Lilywhite Rose]

U23s Goalkeeper Kacper Kurlowicz has joined Potters Bar on loan.

Lyons Foster out for the season done his meniscus. Same injury that we lost Walcott for a season with.

 

[Lilywhite Rose]

lyons-foster - injured
white - first team (presumably)
john - loan
clarke - loan
markanday - gone

that's five of the front six that were starting pretty much every game missing so it's quite a changed line-up. i agree that whatever team we put out shouldn't be getting beaten so comprehensively but just like with the first team it takes time to build up cohesion and rhythm. also if we're being blunt, of today's side there's only really two, maybe three that we're expecting a lot from.

The drop off from a midfield of White/John/Bowden to Robson and Craig was really staggering.

I can never remember which one is which. One of them is a bit ahead of the other one and has been training with the first team. I'm guessing Michael is the one that hasn't? If not then I'm a bit confused. There's no way either would be trialling with Southampton ahead of a loan. They're not at that level yet. I guess Michael isn't getting his contract renewed.

As already said I never know which one I’ve watched. But I know I rated one of them or both and I’m pretty sure it was Michael. Just thought he had a really solid dependable look about him, but then it may have been Matthew. Probably better for their individual careers to be separated tbh.

Mikes Moore smashing it on an England camp. 2 wins 1 assist 2 goals. Looks an exciting prospect probably feature in U18s next season.

Not exactly on topic but I see the hype machine has kicked into action for a 15 year old kid in Brazil. The idea of the sharks of the football world circling around him makes me physically sick. I don't begrudge him the opportunity to make some money, especially if he is one of the many poor kids from Brazil, but seeing his talent and love for the game devoured by this parasites is just too much for me right now. My disgust for big business (let's just call it what it is, Capitalism) and its smothering grip on everyone and everything is off the charts. Can we get back to treating people like people again, pretty please. Not pieces of meat or items of stock. Rant over.

Donley and Bloxham with seniors and couple others not sure who.

Other 3 are Sayers McKnight Dorrington confirmed by lilywhiterose

Depends how you look at it, his family could be brought out of poverty and never have to worry about how they'll afford to eat again. It's also better for them f the European clubs are on early. I might complain about the likes of Raiola and Mendes but it's far better these sharks get hold of him than those in SA that will take part ownership of him for years to come. At least he could legally get rid of the likes of Mendes without having his family forever in his debt.

It's probably been said somewhere is here before but has anyone got a heads up on this kid, what he's like?

I've never really seen him play, there is a very limited highlights of him online .... but he is thought to be a very promising/highly thought of young LB / LWB, only 17 but in looks and certainly build more akin to a 20/21 yr old, he is from southend utd, he is a big spurs fan, and has already scored for the youth team since being here.

Its a sad indictment of the world we live in. That people can be so poor that they're forced to allow their 15 year old child, because that's what he is a child, to be slobbered over, commodified, valued like he's some kind of luxury car...the whole thing just makes me sick.

Bloxham still looks so young
