We should be seeing a lot more loans of our promising academy players, as well as permanent moves for others.
There are 30 ish players in our development squad with perhaps another 6 - 10 joining from Acaddemy Year 2 next summer, so I'd guess at least 10 more out on loan or transfers to go this January.
Just as an example at CB we have Eyoma, Dinzeyi, Lyons-Foster, Binks and Walcott all of whom are currently in the development squad or will be from the summer onwards, and we cannot play all of them so will stifle their development. And besides which u21 football is good for one season, probably ok for 2nd season, but by season 3 players start to regress as they are not learning anything (the stage Eyoma and Dinzeyi are).
Eyoma (age 20, same as Tanganga) - Went on Preseason 2018 and looked good (with Amos and Skipp) but then had a year of Poch no play just train, and this season looks less of a player than he did. Desperate need of a loan to take him back to the level he was
Dinzeyi - Again aged 20, no point in keeping him with so much competition, release him to a lower league club needing a physical CB, unless all the other CB's are loaned out when we might want to keep him to play u23's - but that would probably be unfair on him
Lyons -Foster - Aged 19 went on Preseason 2018 but didn't play - I suspect that whilst he is a Rolls Royce of a CB just not physically developed enough. Probably retain him to play u23's and get him to bulk up ?
Binks - Aged 18. Physically well developed, good CB with Alderweireld skill of long passes, often captains Spurs youth sides. I'd loan him out - he comes from Gillingham and think his mum still works at Gillingham FC so an obvious club to ask... But he'd have a few admirers out there.
Walcott - Aged 18 Big build had a few injuries though meaning he's missed a certain amount of youth football. Probably retain him to play in u23's but could be loaned out.
Below this level we have more talented CB's in Academy Year 1 and u16's often playing in international youth sides so we are not short of CB's to share round, but we are short of meaningful game time for them.
And this analysis assumes Mourhino is going to play Tanganga on a regular basis - if not he's another we need to find a good loan at a good level where he will play lots of minutes......
