With so many out on loan I would imagine the OS will do a regular round up as they used to.
I suppose any goals scored or exceptional performances will be relayed to this thread.

Report: Thierry Henry set to raid Tottenham Hotspur for defender Luis Binks
Thierry Henry is reportedly closing in on a move to sign highly-rated defender Luis Binks from Tottenham, and bring him to Montreal Impact.
Canadian outlet TVA Sports have claimed that Thierry Henry’s Montreal Impact are set to complete the signing of Tottenham Hotspur teenager Luis Binks, despite the player being considered a real prospect in the Spurs academy.
Binks, 19, has already played for England’s youth teams at multiple levels – picking up caps at Under-16, Under-17, Under-18 and Under-19 level. He has also been a regular for Tottenham’s Under-23 side, and played under Ryan Mason this season.
Indeed, Binks has clocked up 14 appearances for Tottenham’s second string – as well as starting and finishing all six UEFA Youth League appearances with Mason as boss. A central defender, he is now set to embark on a very surprising move.
Not only is the move surprising given he is set to swap England for the MLS and Canadian side Impact, but also he will be joining Woolwich legend Henry – who is close to completing a raid on his old rivals for the defender.
Luis Binks, off to Impact Montreal.

it seems that Luis Binks and Thierry Henry, manager of Impact Montreal share the same agent:

Could explain the random links to him going there.

I pasted that a few pages back - I think it is.

Losing Binks is a real slap in the face to Spurs youth.
All about a lack of opportunity to towards the fist team - and how easy it might be under others
Should or Must be a wake up call too Spurs, yes we are fine from age 16 to 18 but beyond ...……….we've become an f.......ing disaster.
Huge loss

Not really any comments on him yet, but I’ll definitely keep an eye outI'll forward this toThe Dane
Luis Binks' profile is still on the OS.
Might be just coincidence but Luis is a French name-maybe he has some err..French connection?
tbrfootball.com
Montreal announced that Binks is training with the club, with suggestions on social media that it will become permanent.
Binks is the second young centre-back to have gone on trial this week, with Jonathan Dinzeyi proving his worth at QPR. He lined up in an Under-23 match for the R’s earlier this week, scoring as his new side beat Coventry City.
There are suggestions that a move will become permanent when the MLS window opens on February 12.

Tottenham fans react as Luis Binks confirmed as training with Thierry Henry's Montreal Impact
Luis Binks has been confirmed by Montreal Impact as joining the Canadian club's training sessions, and Spurs fans are gutted they could lose the teen.

He's played for them today. What a body blow this is.
He played 45 minutes in a friendly. Supposedly didn’t have much to do, but was composed when called into action. Apparently pulled off a very good save. He’ll be playing a game close to where I live, definitely going to go watch it
To think at one time we had the Irish Wayne Rooney (Terry Dixon) and the Welsh Wayne Rooney (Scott Thyer), both thought to be incredible striking talents at the time, but neither of our Wayne Rooney's made a first team appearance for us !
Luis Binks profile has now been removed from OS - not shown as a loan, but gone.
Removes all doubt that its a permanent transfer. Sadly.
Which in turn means Spurs still have some way to go to convince youngsters that there is a pathway to the first team. We've lost up to half a dozen promising youngsters in the last few years (Kirby, Madueke, Bennetts, Griffiths, Binks et al) not all of whom would have made it at Spurs but several were very highly rated not only at Spurs but in their England age groups, and who knows which youngsters chose to go elsewhere rather than Spurs academy.
Tanganga's appearances in the first team is a big step in the right direction, but more will be needed to be done to overcome the last 5 years where parents, kids and their agents have been rightly sceptical of a route to Spurs first team (or other teams via loans)

Bizarre that the twitter account hasn't posted about it. Got a feeling that we weren't happy with his choice as we've seen all the other deals announced. Still time to but he's already turned out for them so it's a fair bit overdue if they are going to.
Technically Binks is, I believe 18 months into a 2 year Academy Scholarship so not entitled to break it unilaterally - but its probably very difficult to enforce outside UK in North America
Nothing noteworthy.
| Amos, Luke | QPR (C) | L(subbed off) |
| Eyoma, Timothy | Lincoln (L1) | no game |
| Georgiou, Anthony | Bolton (L1) | not in squad |
| Marsh, George | Orient (L2) | D |
| Roles, Jack | Cambridge (L2) | not in squad |
| Sterling, Kazaiah | Orient (L2) | not in squad |
| Tracey, Shilow | Macclesfield (L2) | D (subbed off) |
| CARTER-VICKERS Cameron | Luton (C) | L |
| CLARKE Jack | QPR (C) | L (sub) |
Thanks for this. Couple of extra bits :
Roles not back from another injury.
Marsh v Tracey as Orient clashed with Macclesfield, Marsh played the full 90 minutes as did Carte-Vickers on his Luton Town debut.
QPR made a double substitution in 67th minute with Amps coming off and Clark coming on.
