Going to be getting LESNIAK 44 put on the back of my shirt!
Loved the tackle on Chilwell I think it was, brilliant seeing academy players though, after him being on loan at the start of the season it is random.
I think he's the Fucken berries.
Difference is Lesniak has a future as a footballer
I know nothing about this kid. But what I love about our club is a kid like this coming through under Poch and with the senior squad around him, could potentially be a world class player in a few seasons and playing every week. Alright, maybe he won't be, not all our development squad players are going to make it that far, but you just never know, this kid could be the next best thing.
I think it's pretty unlikely. Reading what those who follow the youth players on various forums say, he's not that highly rated and got his chance because the Winks injury has left us short in midfield and Dembele's struggling to play for 90 minutes. The other youth player that was on the bench, Shashoua, is more highly rated.
But you never can tell who's gonna make it. The hyped ones often disappear down the leagues and others come from nowhere to become first teamers.
We'll just have to see, what I like is not knowing really, the uncertainty of whether you are seeing someone for the first time who years down the line you'll be singing their name and hoping they don't leave for Real Madrid. Plenty of development players who have been bigged up as the next best thing and amounted to nothing at all, some others not talked up much but turn out to become amazing talents. I figure Poch must rate him to play him, even accepting we do have the injuries we do.
It's always nice to see a young player make his debut. Even if it's not at Spurs, his career prospects have just improved a 1000 fold. He's played for a top 2 Premier League team. He must be buzzing, especially as a few months ago he was struggling to get a game on loan in the Czech League.
And there was me thinking that "Admirer whacker modelling" was just what teenagers did in their bedrooms
Before anyone uses this to troll... It's sadly not correct. Wilshere has 2 assists- according to whoscored.com
Shame cos I was about to go and post it on his Twitter, the little cube headed twat.
