Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Even Bentancur (24) & Richy (25)

The direction of travel makes sense. Look at Woolwich or Brighton, young teams full of energy. But you need a philosophy, a plan a direction. Conte doesn’t suit that and if he is off I don’t want us wasting our time on the next elite manager.

The club needs a style of play, so that if one manager goes the next one has to be similar. If we are getting lots of attack minded young players then ideally we need a new Poch type of manager. Whether it is Poch himself or Kompany or someone else the club needs to stick with a principle and build round it.
 
I have nothing against us signing Soonsup-Bell and Small if signing promising and talented youth is the direction this club wants to go. At least its a coherent strategy.

BUT THEN WHY THE FUCK DID YOU HIRE ANTONIO CONTE??

That's is really what's pissing me off so much.

I'd want to know what defenders the new attacking coach should use between those we already have

............To squeeze the last out of the last crop in the meantime?

............Curtailing to the overwhelming pro-Conte sentiment in the fan-base before he joined?

.......Other?

........All of the above?

Yeah i'm all for it. We should also go and get other good youngsters we've liked for ages like Alex Scott at Bristol City (although he'd cost more money) but please have a proper strategy and a path to the first team for them. That should be in parallel to first team signings.
 
Mate, I've watched SEVERAL MINUTES of Youtube highlight clips and he's just as good as Jude, if not more potentially great future prospect sell-on value with add-ons.

Seriously, though, he did look good. I thought I was watching Jude for a while.

Wait? Did they rename the video?!
Robbie Savage, on talk sport when Jude broke through, said he knew youth coach(es) at Brum who claimed he was the bigger talent of the two.

Straight away - wanted.
 
After 23 years some people saying we are now going in the right direction WTF , that’s 23 years in the wrong direction.



I see zero evidence we are heading in the right direction even now
There was a case for saying we were heading in the right direction, despite blips, between summer 2004 and probably summer 2018. The last 5 years has been a shambles, a fucking clownshoe of poor decisions and lack of direction.
