You should be there or thereabouts by 22
there is always an example for any argument of the exception.... I see you found Toure for yours
and if you’re a talent which we are taking Tanguy to be then you’ll be breaking into the U23 squads at 17-20
if you’re 22 and playing for the u23 ...., then you’re not going to cut it at the highest level
so it was a poor example of demonstrating his development
Either that or it was just weird telling me 22 Is younger than 23
What’s going on with you ?!! I know age groups in youth football and I know a 22 yr old is still able to play for an u23 youthYou get my point wrong mate. You said in footballing terms that 22 isn't young. The point I was making that football deems players his age young enough to still turn out for youth teams, hence the point being made that the game he plays in, the league he plays in still sees him as young.
When Spurs had a full squad they could overcome rubbish refereeing. With this squad it's touch-and-go. But the truth is the refereeing has ALWAYS been crap against Tottenham who are the Jewish club, so it must be anti-semitic.How’s about we stick the ball in the net more than the opposition...that might work better

me saying 22 isn’t young for a footballer Is not me forgetting there is an u23 youth team
but whether or not you can play in these youth teams has no bearing on people's expectations
if Tanguy doesn’t do what’s expected of him as a 55m talent , there isn’t a single person at the club that is going to even consider rocking up to managment and pointing out he could have a run out for the u23s
at 22. A player is at an age where he’s developed enough (not fully ) to know his level
It’s not wires crossed I think your taking my comment in the strictest literal sense open to you rather than a general consensus that by the age of 22 most professional coaches would be expecting a 22 yr old to be physically developed and making most of the right decisions by thenNothing's wrong with me, I'm just highlighting that you said 22 isn't young for a footballer yet a footballer that is 22, 23 even can win young player of the year.
If he isn't young, why do the powers that be deem him young enough to win young player of the year awards?
Maybe we are getting our wires crossed here, it's 3:15am and I know what you're saying about his price tag and where he should be but at his age, a young age as a person and as a footballer he still has plenty of room and time to grow. If he does is a completely different thing, everyone has a ceiling and a limit that they can reach, hopefully with time on his side he still has gears he can click into as he becomes a fuller and more mature footballer.

but yeah this isn’t the greatest debate and I doubt any one cares too much
Or Parrot. What a ridiculous choice. Comes on for the 1st time and has to face that kind of pressure. Mourinho is an idiot, picking him and Lamela. And what Fernandes did was inexplicable.How many times have we seen Lamela's poor shooting technique? Falls backwards and the ball goes high. He should never have been taking a penalty in a pressure environment.
Most teams are feeling confident against us at the moment.great 120 mins of effort for nothing. Hopefully we'll do something against Burnley
Of course it can
I bet you do.....I can tell you now I'm never watching that Amazon shit
At least my mind is made up about renewing next season.

With you there. After 30 years, I'm not bothering to renew my ST. . I'll just cherry pick the games to go to. That kind of money for this standard of entertainment is a joke. No more of my dosh going to Levy and his co-leechesAt least my mind is made up about renewing next season.
I wonder why that is......?Yep, but hey- take what you can get.
Every shit team seems to play a blinder against us.
We're not going to make it into the EL.Top 4 is the only thing that'll save the season but tbh a season in Europa might do us the world of good. Might even win it.
He's swallowed his copy of Readers DigestLike I said ‘Twat’
“Celerity”
WTF
Yup, it's obvious where this train is headed currently, unless something incredible happens we all know how it's going to end and we know who's going to be to blame for it.
He doesn't care. How long is this going to take to sink in? Profit, profit, profit. It's all he cares about.If Lucas, Bergwijn, Sissoko, Son and Kane are all injured on Saturday, what is the solution?
Levy needs to understand that our squad cannot compete in its current state.
I'm afraid that's straight out of the American way of behaving at games. Pretty soon we'll be having a half time show starring Janet Jackson and her amazing disappearing tits!There were plenty of moaning cunts in the South Stand...
A few left BEFORE extra time (I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt, I'm sure they had a train to catch back to whatever Plastic Fan rural province they live in!!
For me, the game was gone with whatever the fuck that was pre-match! A glorified School disco DJ "banging out some Choons" and telling US to wave our scarves ... (and then tweet about it on InstaTwat)
No, sorry, football support doesn't work like that..... atmosphere isn't generated by some Tim Westwood wannabee with headphones and a mic.
Jesus, the game's truly gone...
"There used to be a football club over there"
OK.. We all know you're intelligent.....But that's in vitro. Surely I need not post the contradictory data on carotenoids in vitro vs the longitudinal studies that showed increased lung cancer risk?
Really? You'll learn.I happen to like Baz and think he makes some astute observations. Also he injects a little humour into the forum. Whereupon you, and I I don't really like to say this but honesty compels me, come over as a a pseudo intellectual who likes to spout multisyllabic words and appear to be an expert on everything. It's not an endearing trait to the English. Say what you like about us but we're not phonies. Plus your avatar smacks of narcissism.....!
