Donley seems to score a good amount, at international level as well. Markanday should be on the first team bench.
We're on course to be better than them, in, er, about 4-5 yearsWell. Clearly went to the wrong Spurs vs Man Utd match.
I'm generally positive about Conte being appointed as manager.
However he comes with a reputation for wanting to win, and wanting to buy in players.
And that generally is not compatible with developing youth - and at Chelsea I seem to recall that he used young players with some experience (eg after a loan) but not young players without experience.
So if true, most of Spurs best youth needs to be loaned out in January - and probably again in January as there won't be too many opportunities with the Spurs first team.
Might be interesting to see whether Conte is not impressed with some of the first team squad before January and uses youngsters - but if not expect more players going out on loan in January
