Player Luka Vuskovic

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

1st Choice: VDV, Romero,
2nd Choice: Danso, Vuskovic,
Back-up: Dragusin & Takei
Emergency Plan F: Davies & Gray!

On Loan: Dorrington & Phillips...

That's none TOO shabby....

I'd imagine we'd only go for Gheui IF Romero leaves, but otherwise, we're pretty well stacked in that dept.
 
In the film, Green Mile, Mr. Jangles is destined for Mouseville. Apparently it's situated right next to Loansvile, Temnessee.

You will find a lot of Spurs youngsters there.

Frank being crystal clear about the PL-readiness of players, and seemingly those who he wants to jettison.
 
Loaning him out because we are stacked at cb and won't be able to give him sufficient minutes in the season ahead would be one thing, loaning him out and then signing a centre back to make up the numbers is absolutely mental...

:vicarioconfused:
 
I liked what I’ve seen of him and quite surprised that he’s going out. He looks physically ready and decent on the ball. I think this definitely shows Romero is going nowhere.

Yeah, I really don't get the "we need a CB" crap. We absolutely don't. There is a question over Dragu, though I actually think he's a better player than we've seen under the fraud. He has been very good for Romania pre-injury. Spence can also stand in as CB. We have 5 recognised decent CBs and a load of back-up. We need LW and No.10!!!!!! Get Savinho and Eze FFS!!!!

Not gonna lie or pretend.

I don't like it one bit.

Said it before, but big part of excitement and hope for better future in my eyes was linked to seeing potentially some breakthroughs of the clearly talented bunch.

Vuskovic, Phillips, Dorrington, Abbott, Hall, Ajayi, Devine, Donley, Keeley (sold), Moore, Yang, Scarlett, Lankshear

So that would make up
---------------Keeley-----------------
Dorrington-Vuskovic-Phillips-Abbott
---------Hall-------Devine----------
--------------Donley----------------
------Yang------------Moore---------
---------------Lankshear-------------

With even two substitutes of Ajayi and Scarlett

And now / soon all of them will be gone. I get that we could not keep ALL of them. But at least for few... I mean if Moore played last year. And Woolwich have found minutes for Nwaneri last season, why couldn't we? As things stand we are guaranteed that we have no positive surprises in the side raising their head. Best we can hope for is that Lucas and Archie (both 19) will kick on and take a step forward.

And all that without having enough of nailed on starters coming in on the fliplside (!) what exactly are we betting on in here?!?

None of them will play for us, except possibly vuskovic and Moore. They're championship at best players.
 
He’s a man child. Had a huge advantage over his peers because of his physical size. A loan to the BL is a very good move for someone his age.
Exactly. I dont get the annoyance. There's a reason you dont get many 18 yr olds playing centre back at the top level. He may be a unit but it doesnt mean he can read the game properly yet or have that nous that centre backs need. He'll make mistakes so let him learn about those somewhere else this season. He'll only be 19 at the start of next season. Woolwich fans were baffled when they kept loaning Saliba. You have to do whats best for his development.

Yea, sure. You can say that with full certainty. Cause you have crystal ball that shows future?

Clearly you know fuck all. Same as me.
But it is a numbers game. It could very well be that from that list it is only Moore and Vuskovic - clearly they are the ones getting the most attention. Could be just one of them. Could be neither of them and instead Donley and Yang.

They are all young so anything could still happen.

I do believe a loan to the Bundesliga will be massive in terms of experience but we should insert a call back clause just in case.

David Pleat

Martin Jol
Juande Ramos
Harry Redknapp
André Villas-Boas
Tim Sherwood

Every singel one would have won the competition last season under the same circumstances. The Demateo factor doesn't make you a good coach. Ange was very lucky and Im delighted with that luck.
