I think he was better than decent. Until his injury he'd looked very very good. Pleat (again) scouted him and Etherington from Peterborough (?) and ME if anything was more highly rated. Gutted when Hoddle lost his nerve for the Blackburn final and didn;t select him.

Yes Simon Davies was a bit of a favourite of mine - showed he was always available when Spurs hammered Chelsea 5-1 (Davies scoring a goal) in a 2nd leg cup match almost 20 years ago when Davies was about 21 or 22 I think. Great match to watch as a Spur as Chelsea were odds on to win.

Congratulations to Elliott Thorpe on first first Wales u21 call up. Could be a great way to get experience for him.

I think our last Welsh u21 might have been Simon Davies - and he was a very decent player for us at the time until injured (when we sold him to Everton), and his best match for Wales an extraordinary and deserved 2-1 win against Italy.

BTW forgot to mention on Friday 4 June @ 18.30 Welsh u21 match on S4C, but I think will be online/Youtube for free. Sadly I am likely to be out but interested in feedback on Thorpe if anyone watches the match
 


Developing a reputation in his home country as a potentially very good young defender - and a better bet for the senior squad than players with more years experience. Will be good for his development playing mens football as well as youth football at his age

Thanks for posting

Don't think there are any outright surprises in the yougsters leaving - I had high hopes for Richards but he's had a series of injuries and that might be the reason for his not being offered a new contract, whilst Roles is a bit of enigma in that after a very good loan at League 2 Cambridge could not get any real playing time with either clubs he was loaned to in League 1. Too light weight or what. Wish them both well though - and the others on the list.
 
With 13 Academy Year 2 players retained and promoted into Development Squad, think that makes a Development squad of around 33 players (including Whiteman and Austin) next season - so we will probably need at least a dozen loans to give the older players experience of playing in 'mens football'

Is it unusual to have that many goalkeepers? Seems like a lot competing for very little playing time.

In a word yes.

But Whiteman will either continue as 3rd GK for first team or go out on loan, Austin will continue out on loan (and both seem decent prospects as a longer term Spurs 2nd or 3rd GK), leaving 4 GK's of whom one may go out on loan, so its not as bad as it first looks.

With the 12 defenders, its possible either Eyoma or Lavenier stays as back up RB but otherwise half of them need to be out on loan leaving maybe 6 to play in u23's, and similar with other positions

Can only assume he's being loaned out next season as keeping him implies Spurs have extended his one year contract.

Even bigger surprise was keeping Mukendi who has only played about 6 games in 3 seasons due to injury, but let Richards go who has had injuries but scored regularly when fit. But fans don't see them on training ground, and almost nothing during lockdown, so maybe there was a logical reason.
 


Next season's u16 striker.

Looks like :
- 17 year old Dane Scarlett (next season's Academy Year 2 player) is likely to be regularly playing u23's (except when he's in the first team squad), with
- Jamie Donley (next season's Academy Year 1) playing as u18 striker, except when Dane Scarlett is with first team squad when I suspect Donley will be tried out in u23's ?
- 15 year old Ollie Irow wil be playing u16's and back up at u18's

And I'd guess that both strikers Troy Parrott and Kion Etete will be on loan to gain expeience of playing mens football - both aged 19/20

Think it's no coincidence we are seeing a flow through of higher class young strikers, given Kanes journey with us.

I always think back to 1990 with Gazza, as a young lifeguard noticed all the young kids wanted to be Gazza and Spurs all of a sudden... Be lovely to get another from this set for the first team and another for a mid-lower prem club to keep the cycle going.
