Jamie Donley

[Herclueless]

Thinking of starting a sweepstake on when we first hear news of him snapping his hammies like a banjo string, any takers?

 

[DjKulu]

Had he ever been capped by NI . Players with potential can appear with National teams before breaking through at Club level.

Was in NI youth but changed to England - call up today to another E u19's squad

 

[Starks]

I really hope he makes the squad tomorrow.

Got a feeling he won't now that the likes of Gil and Lo Celso are back to being 'fully fit' - but rewarding our youth players with squad places is always a great welcome.

I'd personally have him in there over Oliver Skipp, especially now Bentancur is back in the squad.

I think he has to be in the squad numbers-wise now that Maddison is out too

Vic, Porro, Phillips, Dier, Davies, Biss, PEH, Sarr, Kulu, Son, Johnson
Forster, Royal, Dorrington, Skipp, Lo Celso, Bentancur, Veliz, Gil, Donley

Could even be a 4th u21s player travelling as 21st man in case somebody picks up a knock (maybe Nile John?)

 

[Football Chap]

I don't think Emerson is injured (from what I know). if he isn't then he would start over Phillips - or at least be on the bench.

Check between Forster and Dorrington

 

[Pathfinder]

Check between Forster and Dorrington

Oh, I was looking for Emerson but well, yes, Royal is the same person I would start him over Phillips though, but if Angelos thinks differently then I trust his decision of course

Or George Abbott who can cover RB and DM ? IMO Nile John has gone off the boil and think we are ok in midfield.

If we wanted an extra forward as spare man it would be between Soonsup-Bell and Lankshear ?

 

[NewZealand_Spur]

Just wondering what else he has to do in order to get a look in.

I think it's even better than that!!
The best thing I can say about it, is it looks like a pass a player from another team would make!!

It's exquisite!!!

 

[1882]

Imagine if he came on Saturday and pinged a pass like that ....?

The place would explode!

...in a MESSI way,!

 

[Zomb]

Couldn’t agree more but Ange doesn’t want to take a risk and give them a chance. I mean surely if he can play skipp in the 8 role then doneley could play there!

If someone can keep and pass a ball, they aren’t a massive risk

 

[Yiddy]

After watching klopp put his faith in youngsters in a cup final that probably don't have the potential donley has I don't think ange can have any excuses anymore. If it's not working out play the lad. It's the only way you will find out if a youngster can step up.

 

[Yiddy]

Do you think Klopp brings on the kids if he had Salah, Nunez, Trent, Szoboszlai, Thiago, Jones or Jota available?

We've been in similar situations and opted to leave youngsters on the bench and play the starting 11 the whole game.

For example?

 

[Starks]

We've been in similar situations and opted to leave youngsters on the bench and play the starting 11 the whole game.

When were we in a situation that saw us missing so many players through injury (with another one going off injured in game) which has forced us to have 6 players U21 on the bench!?

 

[Airfixx]

TBH, I've always found that weird ONLY naming 6 out of a possible 9 players... Take some kids with, IF ONLY for the day out, or a day off school!!!

That list is 8 players; not 6..... 3 of which WERE kids.

 

[1882]

Really want to see what this kid does with regular minutes on loan somewhere next season.

Replacing Devine in the Plymouth team might be a decent loan.

Though I think id rather see him get the 'Skipp loan' and go to a team that'll ideally be competing at the top of the table and play good football.

Can't we take him on loan next season...?

 

[Jenny Talia]

We all want to see these under 21s boys do well and push on to the top team but most of them will never be good enough. Ange isn't playing them because they are not better than Gil, PEH, Skipp, Lo Celso, Royal, Davies, Dier etc. Other PL clubs aren't offering them contracts to play for them either. I personally think it is better for their development to skip playing under 21s and go play against men somewhere. If Spurs want to push for titles they need to buy even better players than they have now, pushing Donley and co. further down the pecking order.

The current group is much better than the group that produced 5 England internationals.
