Very young he's a baby bless him. He seems like he is focused and despite the reports on here both Jose and Conte seem utterly convinced.

Tottenham are furious at Charlton Athletic for their handling of Nile John during his loan spell, Football Insider understands.
The central midfielder, 19, has not had a single minute of first-team action since joining the League One outfit in January.
He has also failed to make the matchday squad altogether on eight occasions from twelve.
John, who plays primarily in attacking midfield, had registered seven goals and three assists in 14 outings in EPL 2 this term.
The midfielder’s lack of action for the Addicks comes despite the South London club sitting 14th in League One.
Jonnie Jackson’s side, who play a 3-5-2 formation, effectively have nothing to play for as the season draws to a close.

Troy Parrott-Vickers
Highly likely
For whatever reason Parrott was being 'bigged' up as the next best thing a couple of years ago but on field performances were not living up to expectation. And his first year on loan seemed to reflect that with Parrott not really making an big impression on either Championship or League 1 club loans .
This year the noises coming from MK Dons are pretty encouraging - they say he's really hard working, skilful and a real positive for the side mainly in a no 10 type role, and although he went through a dry patch of not scoring for about 3 months he was still getting assists, putting in a great work rate which ultimately led to him scoring again.
I imagine a Championship loan next season will be appropriate and after this season there will be a few clubs willing to give him a chance, and after that a chance in pre-season 2023 to see if he is a candidate for Spurs first team at that point. It maybe that Conte will give him a go this pre-season 2022, but I suspect he will be better off on loan next season getting good game time than a bench role which is the best he could hope for at Spurs (possibly competing with Dane Scarlett who is still young to loan out ?).
First pro contract for Sayers | Tottenham Hotspur
We are delighted to announce that Charlie Sayers has signed his first professional contract with the Club.

I don't think this has been posted. Only 18 but looks a lot older.
One of our seemingly very good youngsters up to the age of 16 was Ben Watt who had been called up for E u15 and E u16 and I was very surprised to be told he was being released and not offered an Academy Scholarship at Spurs a couple of years ago. Ben Watt Signs As a Scholar
He joined Oxford United where I was expecting him to become a top player at that level, so really surprised to hear he was not offered a pro contract and appeared on the Released List today. Academy Update
Precarious life as a young footballer !

Tournament organised as 2 groups initially :

Final score - 2-1 win
Jamie Donley now up to 10 goals in 12 u18 league appearances - equal with Williams 10 goals (includes of course 5 goals in one amazing match ). Rare to get two players in an u18 year group to get into double figure goals.
Both very different players too - Donley a more Kane like striker/no 10 hybrid whilst Williams a more all round forward able to play on either wing as well as striker. So both can play in the same side, which is a great bonus.

Spurs u23's away to Wham u23's on Monday at 7.30
This was the team for last u23 match (a 3-1 win versus Leicester)
Lo-Tutala, Paskotsi (Lusala 77), Lavinier, Bowden (c) (Mundle 82), Fagan-Walcott, Omole, Cesay, Craig, Donley, Devine, Santiago. Substitutes (not used): Oluwayemi, Muir, Bennett.
With Jamie Donley playing for u18's today and Jaden Williams not in the u18 squad, looks likely that Jaden Williams will be involved in the u23's on Monday.

This is slapdash contracting by the club. A loan should better the loanee and help the loaning club that now owes proper care to the loaned player. Our loans should reflect that.Courtesy

There should be a clause saying that if our loanee didn't get X time of senior football by Y his loan ends immediately and the loaning club compensates us on the time of the loan as our player lost time in his development.
And then nobody will want to loan our players as it's too risky
They will as their shit academy produces nothing and they have to win promotion\avoid relegation to survive. I suppose the risk will be monetized and priced accordingly. A big prospect like John wouldn't be priced like a Clarke in compensation.
Or they just go elsewhere to loan without the nonsense clauses.
