You may be pleased to learn Spurs u21's have beaten Liverpool u21's and Woolwich u21's in successive weeks in last couple of weeks
The Spurs medical staff did say they had a bed vacant for next 6 months
I'm all for signing young and promising players but we're just appalling at developing them. Put Gil, Sarr, Spence in that Brighton/Brentford squad and I can guarantee you we'd have people frothing at the mouth, and clubs throwing silly money at them.
And you may be pleased to learn that you have no fucking sense of humour.
I think I read there was 5 PL clubs interested.
Hmm in reality he is now the 6th choice attacker with Lucas fit again. He was never going to play.
If he can go to Sevilla and play most weeks and have a strong second half to the season it helps us.
It either boosts his pedigree in Europe and we can recoup the money we spent or he comes back next season and takes Lucas' squad place.
I would not be surprised if this has some connection to the Zainolo stuff...
2 years time, ex Spurs coach Antonio Conte, having just won the trebble with Althelico Bilboa, says "I could have had this Hinchliff kid from Moenchengladbach, but Levy would only pay £7m, and they wanted an outrageous £12m"
"So I got the sack"
"And now that kid is worth £75m and going to Arsnil"
2 things made me laugh:
1) Conte going to a club that are essentially not allowed to do transfers
2) that spelling of Athletic Bilbao is fucking glorious
I get what you're saying but he shouldn't be behind Lucas to be honest, the kid has bags more talent. A manager that proactively uses the 5 subs per game would also go a long way in keeping him at Spurs and developing him in the EPL. There's really no reason why him and Deki couldn't have alternating starts, subs earlier in the game.
There is at least one reason: Deki is levels above him.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see him sold in the summer rightly or wrongly.
I think people are getting a bit ahead of themselves based on a good game vs Palace. Don't get me wrong I rate his skills and want to see him develop but he needs consistent minutes to work the deficiencies out of his game and going to a good side in Spain is a better chance for him to do that than getting the shit kicked out of him in the champo for instance or sitting on the bench here every game hoping for the odd 15 minute cameo. He really needs to go and shine on one of these loans, force whoever the manager is in the summer to look at him as a real squad depth option as opposed to "emergency cover".
I’d rather they go and play consistently to continue their development than get a few minutes here and there.
I find this absolutely staggering. I know he's just a raw kid who's a long way from reliable but we are so bereft of creativity in the first team, and the bench is even worse, and we are happy to pack off possibly the best bench creative option we have - which tells you how fucking shit our creative options are. The kid also works harder off the ball than all our other forwards.
If we were bringing in a quality option who plays where he does I could maybe understand. But we aren't and there's loads of football still to be played, who plays WRF if Kulusevski gets another injury or if we need to bring someone off the bench who can do something different to all the other bumblers?
Gil on loan Good. No option better.
He’s talented and I’m not buying the story he can’t hack it physically, he weighs more than Mitoma.
Having Danjuma is good, Lucas is gone in the summer. Bring Gil back
