Yes 20 year old brother Caleb moved to Villa last summer before being loaned to Livingstone - I think gossip was we tried to lure him to Spurs.
I believe there is a younger brother playing for their u15's
Just watched some highlights, want!
With Scarlett and Devine, we have a start, get another like this guy, then we can have a “Dortmund” lite profile, like that which should have emerged under Poch (imo), stack our weak underbelly with prodigious talents… embrace loans like Chelsea.
That poses an issue for Gil, though he’ll be in Spain another season unless he’s got a world class private fitness/nutrition/chef team supporting his finite development room physically (would be gutted to see a chunky version sans whisp like agility).I like him too - but its odd in these u19 matches that he was being played as a CM, as actually he was often playing more as a left sided AM with plenty of attacking movement.

Only saw brief clip, he just has that ‘open body’ style, like Bellingham, but more loose (though Bellingham was very similar at 16, but more dynamic).
There is clearly a larger than ever pool of players, 16-20 who can be grabbed, to make sure the post Poch slump doesn’t recur after Conte.
Hes average .Ones who will definitely make it are Scarlett Diivine and Chuck, some of the others will have decent careers but those three have star quality.Haven't watched these games. Anybody have an opinion about Alex Scott?

Looks like this is actually 7pm.England u19's in action today at 4:30 vs Israel.
This is last match in group so with England already qualified it maybe that Dane and Alfie are rested with other lads starting ? (just a guess though)
The examples you give here just demonstrate how difficult the issue has become. Four or the six that you show decent fees for were full England Internationals - the other two each had plenty of U21 caps. They reached that stage partly, as you say, through good loans. But largely (I would suggest) by playing for a mid-table Premiership team called Spurs! That team doesn't exist any more - and I very much doubt that any of the players on your list would have stood a chance of playing a significant number of games for the current incarnation of Spurs.Twitter doesn’t embed for me, presume others, so copying this here:
When getting the loans right from a young age you increase the value too. Livermore sold for £8m, Carroll £5m, Caulker £8m, Townsend £15m, Mason £13m Pritchard £8m. Now we let Edwards go for nothing apart from a sell on clause and Markanday for 500k
