I'd see if we can get him a premier league loan (somewhere like Norwich) and see if he can perform well over a sustained period.
Ultimately don't think he'll ever be good enough for where we want to be though. Shame as I like the lad.
I like the fact that he's less ambitious attacking-wise than Parker and seems to know his limitations. Good in the tackle, reasonably fit and strong, decent with the simple passes.
Whilst I don't want him as a starter I do feel as a squad player he's ideal and spurs thru & thru which helps.
Given we've Sandro in there and presuming we're unfortunate enough to retain Parker (or if we shift him he's replaced) I think Jake's as good a player as you'd get to be 3rd choice in that role!
Jake scored for Hull on the weekend! Nice one Jake!! His old man's proper Spurs as is Jake and I have a feeling he'll be recalled back into competing for the 1st team in the summer.
We'll also recall Carrol into 1st team contention but will probably sell one of Sandro, Dembele or even Pauliniho post world cup if any big money offers from Champions League clubs come in, if we've not qualified.

Why? Because he's doing well for Hull? He's hardly done more than Jamie O'Hara did for Portsmouth. He played a handful of games last season for us and I don't recall a single positive comment from anyone, the negative ones though were plenty. Has something changed?

Not opposed to selling Paulinho if a good offer comes in.
-ducks-
But seriously, his wanks in front of the net are fucking embarrassing to the game itself. Maybe if he made up for it with incredible passing ability, but if he's not scoring with his intelligent runs into the box he doesn't offer anything more than any of the other central midfielders we have.
