Hi Arcy!
Heard good things about Azzaoui but know little of him myself. Can you shed some light?

Check out my article in our first fanzine for a lot of detail on this.Ricardo Moniz is the man who revolutionised our academy apparently,WindyCOYS would be able to shed a bit more light on it. Changed the training methods and how we look at players. This was back when Arnesen was with us.
Tangana, Spurs' answer to Ramos in a decade.
Probably, yes. That isn't to say for sure they will become better in a few years, there is a lot of development left, but I will be disappointed if none of them become first team regulars at Spurs. Disappointed and very surprised.
Just to say I love that we're going down the academy route, when AVB was incharge I felt so disconnected from the squad, getting Alli also shows that we can buy good young talent too because of the success at Spurs!
Well I know for a fact AVB had the whole good looking Portuguese thing going for him..

As for AVB - he instilled a clear football philosophy and professionalism at all levels
That's mental that Bournemouth still get a cut of any deal! :baeshock:
Steve Perryman came to Tottenham as a sixteen year old and he didn't do badly
We aren't talking about a "source" these are direct quotes Arcy. Besides, what's all this got to do with the subject at hand? Your laughable claim that AVB deserves a lot of credit for the success of our youth players.
I admire your devotion to him, but that's a bit of a stretch isn't it :avblol:
A top quality striker, to me, is one proven in our league- Bony for example, or at the highest level- Soldado for example. But the point is, had we made such a signing, whilst it would have satisfied the "big club, big signing, shows ambition" part of a lot of fans (myself included), we would not have seen Harry Kane rise to the fore. He would have remained a "prospect" on the bench/on loan. With the benefit of hindsight, that would have been a disaster for the player & the club. As you rightly say, we may have spunked a huge amount of money on a flop. It's hardly worked out with Bobby & it would have hindered Harry's progress. That was the point of the posting. We may as well just sit back & let Poch do his thing
There is an element of scouting though, Soldado is slow and not very strong relying on other players to set him up, quite simply not suited to the prem. People at the club are paid to identify top targets who would suit us and we ended up with Paulinho, Soldado and Capoue none of whom even looked that great under no tactics Tim let alone high tempo Poch.
That 26 million we spent hangs on us badly, we should not give up taking risks and spending some good cash just because we bought badly with the Bale money, 30 mil Sanchez has carried Woolwich for much of this season. If Poch is happy just promoting youth thats fine, but if he wants a top class striker to complement Kane and it costs 20 mil I think the least we owe him is some backing, one or two top signings could take us to the next level, we need to put the Baldini fuck ups behind us.

Wiel Coerver (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈʋil ˈkur.vər]; 3 December 1924 – 22 April 2011) was an association football managerfrom the Netherlands and the developer of the Coerver Method, a football coaching technique. He won the UEFA Cupwith Feyenoord Rotterdam in the 1973–1974 season.[1]
Coerver, who was born in Kerkrade, Limburg, was nicknamed “the Albert Einstein of Football”. He died in Kerkrade
The Coerver Method is a football coaching technique which Coerver created. By analysing videotapes of various great players including Pelé, he devised a new concept in football which advocates that skill could not only be inherent with the young players but could also be passed on in a comprehensive academic way. Under this technique, players progress in a structured manner, pyramidal, from basics of ball mastery to a tactically driven group attack. They would be exposed to the other essentials like Receiving and Passing, Moves (1v1), Speed and Lethal Finishing.[2]
The 1998 FIFA World Cup in France saw the first Coerver student, Boudewijn Zenden who played for the Netherlands national football team, make it to the FIFA World Cup.

Agreed Bentaleb should be included, we got his career on track.
He's not a product of the Academy - not even close
Yeah fair enough, it was only a secondary thought anyway.
