True but it’s the ones we have never given enough chances in the 1st team that have been the fault….eg Marcus Edwards.

Would've thought that would have been relatively common public knowledge by now if that was the case.
What about a coaching job after his playing days?
Wouldn't that have required Harry's brother to have read the contract?
You jest.
Levy? Common knowledge?
Great pieces of news this week…..Spurs want Lenglet next year and Dier has no intention of leaving.
We can’t have both surely to God.
We can’t have both surely to God.
No jest. I'm willing to bet good money that there is currently no extra year option in his contract.
Well we can't force Dier to leave but we can stop all this buisness with Lenget, we've all had a good look at him and he's not very good.

Wouldn't that have required Harry's brother to be able to read?
FTFY
I'm surprised there hasn't been more interest in him and that he hasn't already got a deal lined up. Are Palace not interested in giving him another deal?
I’ve read this a lot and I strongly strongly disagree.
He’s ok defensively, no quibble there. But the prospect of a player so limited technically as Royal playing as an inverted full back should frighten every Tottenham fan.
Do we really want him on the ball in the centre of the pitch? Give me a technician like Porro there all day, even if he isn’t perfect.
I don’t think we can assume any sort of system is going to make up for the lack of technical excellent that Royal has. This is a still a professional footballer who struggles to get the ball off the ground when crossing it.
Marcus Edwards had 'problems' when he was at Spurs. It's why we got rid of him.
Yeah see my quote to ShadyDan, I think we’re seeing different players.
I don’t see any top level full backs in the mould of Emerson in world football, I see plenty in the Porro mould.
He’s technically poor, and with Ange’s tendency to play inverted full-backs that feels like a disaster to me.
Vertonghen contract extended | Tottenham Hotspur
The Club can confirm that we have activated the option to extend Jan Vertonghen’s contract until 2020.
And I do believe that line is about Jan Vertonghen, not Harry Kane?!
Let's make a friendly bet then. If it transpires that the club had a one year option remaining in his contract, I pay £20 to a charity of your choice. If not, you do the same?
Maybe we won't find out the answer to that bet, but if we do...up for it?
Apparently his wages are 6.76 million, but I haven't worked out how much that is weekly.
He did improve, no argument there.
I just don’t think there’s any pathway to being a top side with such a limited footballer in the team these days, especially in an era where full-backs have become so important to the way teams attack (either inverted or as bombing down the channel).
He wouldn’t be anywhere near my first XI.
Emersons best games for us last season were when he came central in the middle of the pitch.
If anything, he's best suited to being an inverted full back more than probably anyone in our squad.
Porro however, seems a disastrous fit. I've made my feelings clear of not wanting to go ahead with Porro permanently but looks like it's happening
